activity was at the expense of prices,

the feeling was feyerish, and the market
steadily sOflened with the coalers leading
the declines. At noon cane news that

of IL to-day thus far. The rumOred strike
on the Reading PANIED out in like man
ner, and these denials finally checked the
raiding. Then the market grew duh and
waited for. further news. Gables repre-
sented the Crown Princes doctors as
more hopeful, but some London dis
patches claimed that private cables there
from the Berlin bourses created an un-
easy feeling. The New York cotton and
grain markets sold off sharply, and this
tended to create a nervous feeling IN
stocks. The afternoon dispatches from
Chicago represent better feeling in
official railway circles, and that the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy had
posted the following notice in the con
iuclors' room "All trains will run to-
day on schedule time, except Nos. /, ID,
and L." And o.day freight was being
received for all points east of the Missis-
sippi, and to.morrow freight would be
received for all points up to the Missouri
river. The most noticeable feature in
to.day's trading was the excellent char
acler of the buying. The largest houses
were buying on scale orders and the

fessi6nals and traders.
