Exchange was the weakness and depression IN
the Willard shares. These stocks were subject
to sharp attacks throughout the day and the
lowest prices for some time past were made.

37X, preferred from 1879 to So, and Oregon

ing for common 27,S72, preferred for 1O6,3l5
and Oregon Transcontinental for 10000 shares,
out of total sales for the day of 3S3, $3.50 shares.
The break was caused by heavy sales, which
were accompanied by revival of the rumors
recently current regarding the financial con-
dition of the companies. 1t was also rumored
the bull pool in these shares had gone to pieces.

and its course in the face of the severe break In
the Willard properties was the occasion of good
deal of comment At the opening there was
general advance of 1s9X per cent, Trunk
lines, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Delaware,

phia & Reading and Texas Pacific leading. The
market then continued quiet with some reaction
until late in the afternoon, when in sympathy
with the break in Wizards decline of 4@lT
per cent took place, the latter for St. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba. New York Cen raj fell
