followed by q drop to SO. The Best and
Belcher, which closed last night at %,
opened this morning st 81 and in a few
minutes went TO 20, the bears making q
savage onslsugbt on these two stocks,
but the opinions OF the street are that the
bull is too strong and that the bears will
go down in the struggle. The middle
stocks show improvement, the beRrs de-
voting less attention to tAem. The tSav-
age, which closed Gs S15. 20 last night
opened at S16, and further improved to
cit. The Chollar gained six bits, going
to SO 30. The Potosi jumped from

The OPpir was the only north end stock
which showed any Improvement, open
ing ct S25 50 with further jump, few
moments later, TO s26.50. Over S4,00O,-
