THE TUMBLE IN STOCKS.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2O-The PlSt's financial ar
tiele says: At the Stock exchange it has thus
far been bad day for 1.-The lambs'-that vast
number OF outsiders who have in the last few
months sought sudden riches by buying stocks
of all kinds and descriptions. The stock mar
ket, which closed yesterday at a considerable
recovery from the lowest prices OF the day pre-
vfous, this morning opened at decline of
lash per cent. II was soon evident
brought orders from all over the country
to sell, and there was a pressure of stocks with
out much regard to prices. Up to the time We
write there has been quick succession OF
''Slumps' and recoyeries, but the tendency has
been downward, and the decline from the
9pa opening Igyoht has been to 7a, per cent.
the leading Stocks have been as follows:-

alton, so far as speculation is concerned,
was thus:-'rhe large spectators directly re-
spoIsible for the enormous rise OF the last few
months had sold their stocks; several OF them
sold orr or weeks ago, while others did not
were bought by 1.-The lambs" whose aggregate
purchases were sufficient to carry prices up
after the large professional Spectators had un-
ceased to be .bulls," but they wanted
their stocks back at lower prices than
hose at which they sold. They
once or twice tried locking up money; that
failed, and they finally resorted to the ordinary
tactics necessary to topple over top-heavy
speculation, and their success Is now a matter
OF record. 1t will be strange If they are not
now taking their stocks back, and il they did
not buy largely at the low prices Of yesterday.
1t may not he that the market will Immediately
start for another grandrise 1t would be natural
to have feyeriSh and uncertain for some time.
If it is to be taken hold OF for grand movement
in December or January; but that the present
break was to buy stocks and make turn, is the
opinion OF many close observers OF experience.
The money market is thus far less stringent
than might be supposed from the changing
prices OF stock exchange collateral. The ruling
rate for call loans Is per cent, although money
lenders prefer to have United States bonds colat-
eral, even at sac per cent When the present stock
exchange furry passes away the money market
ought to be easier for local reasons If there
should be a break down I'm grain and cotton
gambling double relief would be at hand; first,
because of the decline in prices, and second, be-
cause gold imports would be renewed What
ever disturbance the break in stocks will cause
will be on account of the shifting of loans; its
main tendency being to easier money. Time
loans on approved collateral are sac per cent.
