Except during the first half hour OF business the
rule of values III to.dayS stock market that of
shrinkage. The opening was made with some APP
parent dash aud at prices that showed good recover
les from yesterdays iao decline. After that the
values gradually settled down, but not without nu-
melOus fluctuations. Tho declines which this days
dealings show are less important in their amounts
than in their Characters Evidently confidence is
easing with average holders of stocks, 80 that the
rallies grow less important after each new decline.
Yet it should not be forgotten that many stocks
already show declines Of 10 per cent or more from
the extreme high prices, aud that some of the
wealthiest spectators are committed by their
position to the bull" side of tho market. Hence
any addition to the present short" interest
may result in rapid aud sharp advance
To-day Northwest common stock was notably strong,
while ST. Paul common was as noticeaby weak.
The trunk lines all suffered and closed with only
small recoveres from their lowest figures. The
Southwestern list of railways was Ms weak as any,
aud Union Pacific declined to 1l4l20115L Tho
