There did not seem to be quite SO much
trouble with the Omaha pool, and the
Omaha stocks were much stronger. Louis
vile and Nashville was weak. Coalers
were steady. Transactions were large in
Michigan Central at declining prices.
Canada Southern was raided sharply at
one time in the morning, but seemed TO
recover easily.
Long Island earnings the first week in
creased $4,000. Baker & Go. said: "The
bears got in their work to-day on Michigan
Central, Canada Southern, Louisville &
Nashville and Northern Pacific common.
These stocks were sold heavily while The
rest of the list remained fairly steady and
some stocks actually advanced. Stocks
which were raided yesterday were we'll held
to-day. The only bear rumors which we
heard were concerning the elections.
The short interest is now very large.
Almost everything is cversold, and Nancy
stocks are leading at premiums of from
1-64 to Jig per day for use. There are
many who think that stocks are low
