The stock speculation to-day was feverish and
cratic; alternately strong and weak, as those
qualities are reflected by fluctuations. But under
the surface Of board-room operations there all
the time was discernible a strata of bedrock
which before the end of the day made itself
apparent N higher prices. The loan market did
not reflect much enlargement OF the short in

their orginators. In the last hour the market was
somewhat stimulated by a report that Judge
Browns decision in the case Of the Iowa State
Commissioners continued the injunction against
the Commissioners. The text OF the decision is
tequiste for comprehension Of its bearing on the
question. The market closed strong at the highest
prices
