HOW THE BUSINESS DAY WAS PASSED.
ANTIcTPATIoNs OF DISASTER IN THE STOCK MARKET
NOT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BELIEF THAT THE
PRESIDENT WILL RECovER-sCENEs ON THE Ex-
CHANGES.
Tho antcipations of disaster in consequence OF
the attempted murder of the President which were
felt by many members of the Stock Exchange. Sat
urday and Sunday, not realized yesterday. In
the holiday interval the minds Of stock operators
had grown calm, and the morning reports of the
Presidents condition allayed the excitement with
which the market closed Saturday. Great anxiety
as to the final result was felt naturally but the
suspense tempered by hope of his recovery
encouraged by the favorable reports of bis condi
ton.
The stock market, however, opened amid great
excitement at an advance of about per cent above
the last prices Saturday. The first recorded price

at the Saturday; and Northwest wa:

in the first fifteen minutes of business were about
the best for the day. After the first excitement
prices began to droop and the market at times was
dull and inactive. Shortly after midday there was
sharp rally which carried figures of most of the
active stocks a fraction above the opening prices
part of the advance was lost in the later dealings
but the market closed rregulary strong at some
higher prices than it opened at. Government bonds
were lower than the last official quotations of Sat
urday, although it said that prices higher
than those at which late sales were made Saturday.
The sentiment Of Wall Street yesterday was hope
full and not few brokers expressed the opinion that
the President would survive his wounds: always
the most fervent wishes for his recovery were ex-
pressed. But while there was hope there was also
fear that the antcipations would not be realized
that the President must succumb at last. Some
firms received large orders to sell stocks in case OF
his death, but generally the hope was stronger than
the dread, and it many times remarked that the
continued favorable symptoms were assurance Oh
the final recovery.
AT THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
Among the members Of the Produce Exchange
there a subdued but unmistakable feeling OF
sadness, with lack of disposition to trade. Every
one seemed preoccuped. Under the pressure of the
sellers and the reports of favorable crops prices de-
