Among State bonds large business was dope /,
Tennessee g.. and at irregular prices After an nd.
vance 10 70 the price suddenly dropped to 60Io and
finally closed at 7lls. The large sales Of the bonds
created the impression that unfavorable news
had been received concerning the action OF tho
courts OF Tennessee and that fee ing aided the de-
cline after 1t had begun. We are unable however.
to learn that any intimations of an unfavorabe
character have been received from Tennessee and il
seems probable that the large sales were made for
account of foreign holders of the bonds Arkansas
rs, Pine Bluff RalrOad, sold down TO %. Virginia 6s
deferred sold at 15is, and Aabamas class at slIs
0Sl3s. OF city bank stocks, Continental sold l5l
at 100, and American Exchange % at l2J.

markably sluggish and probably more correctly re-
fleet the true condition of the general market than
do the maBipuatOns of the share list. Erie second
