clned throughout the first hour on selling
Of w. Z. and o. 7. At IL o'clock prices

there was fractional recovery, except In

selling, supposed to be for the account
of insiders, induced by the adverse decision
in recent suit involving heavy pecuniary
loss to the company. The market is dull
and weak at present writing. Money

Consolidated Exchange to-day. The at
tendance Of brokers was unusually large.
At the start pipeline certificates showed
slight degree Of frmness, the price being 90,
but before the close OF the first quarter OF

later the market rallied again, and at 1890
