the business was well distributed and the

Although there are more gains than loss

with the dealings In stocks, prices being
strong In the forenoon and yielding more

Stocks showed decided weakness at
the opening, with declines Of toovcr per

trading was a companled by further de-
cline for fractional amounts, except In

active, became more quiet, with prices
