something like 100000 shares per day the aggregate
of durna dealings has been reduced to 10000 shares
or hereabouts and popular interest has fallen of ac-
cordngly or this latter element there was little to
be in to-days market. and, as matter of fact.
little of professional interest either. sort of Scya
and Charybdis condition of things seems to exist
which makes navigation dangerous for both bulls and
BEARS In other words, good deal Of hesitation ex-
lists to whether the long side the short side OF the
market is promising Of success. II is whispered
to-day that certain street celebrities have banded
themselves upon the short side with the avowed in
tention of depressing prices At the time it Is
rumored that equally powerful factions have COM
bined to advance them. Between the two the great
bulk of operators, who care for neither bull nor
bear provided profit can be extracted is inclined
to remain dle Bereft of this very material support
the market remained idle also, and quotations as
necessity declined. Excepting spasmodic reactions
there tendency to lower prices the day through.

coal shares. To account for the depression in Erie
we have the report of serious falling of in

lief that prices are made AZ gOou rs tney
appear. simply because they held mp by the main
strength Of speculative operators without the least

the end to be regarded more bearsh than bull
ish-at least prices tended that way. Even should
this impression become fact. it by no means does
away with the latent and generally expressed opinion
that the eventual Of prices will tend to higher
figures and the recent advance in the better class
of securities will be repeated with even more
advantageous results To-day's market was left
to itself, being almost free from rumor.
It is reported that the London Stock Exchange is
inclined fight shy of jay Could and that in conse
quence the Union Pacific stock will be stricken from
