FURRY,

Fiurry.
NEw YORK, May 1.-THE opening in the
Stock Exchange found no falling of in the
attendance this morning. The board room
was crowded with brokers anxious and pre-
pared to take care of their various interests,
but their movements were less excited, and
comparative quiet prevailed. The chief
interest centercd in the course prices would
take, and the watchfulness was in no way
relaxed. The opening transactions were
characterized by a strong tone, and stocks
were bought in as rapidly as offered. AT
the expiration of the fist ten minutes of
business values showed an improvement Of
! TO per cent, the latter in Central Pacific.
At the first board the buying began to flag,
andit was followed in the next hour BY a
vigorous selling. There was considerable
stock thrown on the market, for some cause
then unknown, and caused considerable
alarm among the more timid operators.
The latter also began to unload, and in a
little while prices were going down at a rapid
rate. 1t was subsequently learned that the
selling and unloading of stock was the re-
suit Of arrangements between Russell Sage
and several holders Of privileges on him.
The purport of the agreement was that the
holder Of the privilege should sell ont in the
market stock he had bought to deliver and
receive cheek from Mr. Sage equal to the
difference between the price obtained and
the price fixed in the put. At ll:30 A. NJ
prices under this selling had reacted to the
lowest figures.

of reserve necessary to be held, but they are
