Great depression prevailed at the stock exchange
during the morning hours to-day. AT one time
tho market had very shaky appearance and
usual of late the Willard shares were the chief OBJ
ect of attack, and the pressur to sell these shares
hasnot been equnlcd since the recent bear move
ment was inaugurated. In the first hour of bnsi-
ness Oregon Navigation dropped 13 points to SO,

While this terrific raid was going on the room was
flooded with unfavorable rumors, none of which
could be traced to an authentic source. The
break was due solely to the manpulations of the
bear party, who by their hammering have under
mined confidence and shaken out large amounts
of long stocks. The bears covered over 100000
shares of different stocks. After midday the pres
sure to sell abated. This created an impression
that the raid was over for the present. The mar
ket gradually hardened and prices moved up 4 TO

transactions. The rapid rise in Jersey Central was
due to the fact that there Is comparatively small
amount of the stock atloat. while the short inter-
est is large. After the CLOSE of business as high
per cent was bid for the use of the stock to-mor
row when IL is believed the bears will be severely
twisted. The report is current that some of the
wealthiest owners of the stock are interested in
the movement to punish the shorts, and also the
intimate relations of Gowen and Vanderbilt have
induced the latter to lend helping hand. The
upward movement in Jersey Central Just previous
10 the close took, operators generally by surprise,
many of the shorts into covering, The announce
ment that 100000 god wonld be shipped from
London to New York by the steamship Fulda was
much commented on in financial articles, as 1t is
believed TO be the precursor of larger movement
later on. The gold in question is consigned to
