Stocks-The stock market was irregular at
the opening and the early dealings were char
acterized by feverish tone, the general ten
dency being towards lower figures. Quite a
sharp decline occurred at the first board, from
which there was partial recovery, but owing
| to the uncertainty which prevailed as to the
condition of the Boston banks and to the
hardening tendency of money, there was a
heavy pressure to sell during the afternoon
and prices fell off steadily, the lowest quota
tons being touched after the second call.
