Stocks-The market was again weak and lower
to-day, the decline being led by Western Union

settlement at about CO, and the opinion has
therefore prevailed that the present break
made will enable the bulls to get stock again

the market rallied a fraction and in mostly all
stocks closed strong at an advance. All active
