BEARS DO NOT BACK THEIR OPINIONS.

Tuesday, April I0-p M.
The reaction in the stock market was continued
to-day, but without much spirit The volume Of
business is rapidly dwndlng to the proportions
that were recently Characteristic of the trading.
The bear faction Processes TO be convinced that
prices have reached their zenith for the present,
but hesitates TO back its opinion boldly. There
is no doubt, however that the short interest has
been materially increased in the last two days. and
the fact that prices have been evidently subject to
manipulation excites suspicion that the reaction
has the two-fold purpose Of dislodg1ng long stock
held on slender margins, and, at the same time, Of
enlargng the short interest. An adequate pretext
is the wholly indefensIble apathy of Congress to
anything except political subjects. This neglect Of
business by the peoples representatives is more
than pretext, and it is remarkable that the
market has not suffered more severely. But the
people are assured by long experience that the
present exhibition at Washington is merely for
effect. Playing for the gallery IS effective only
for brief time.
1t would hardly be necessary to mention the
changes IN prices, II IL was not Tor slight

lowest prices for the day. Nothing in the CON
dition Of these companies was made known TO DIS
tinguish the stocks from the general movement
and otherwise there IS no recourse except TO pre-
sumo that the extraordinary decline in Missouri
Pacific was largely a speculative manoeuvre Inc
average decline was a tritle more than 1t was yes
terday but did not exceed "a per cent. The dull
ness alone was almost enough TO account for the
depression.
WHAT WAS DONE IN BONDS.
The transactions in Government bonds were
small, but sufficient to make slight concessions
necessary. The closing quotations were l-5 per
