another duh stock market to-day and
everything yielded TO the pressure
brought against the list, although the
only marked declines were in Granger
stocks which are still the most vulnerable

somewhat disappointed in their poor
success in bringing out stock by their
raids of Yesterday, the effort was re-
newed this morning. and more material
results attended their efforts. Burlington

attack, as usual, and considerable aid
was received from heavy sales by both
Boston and Chicago, although while
sales Of first named center was in
q large degree long stock, those Of
the latter were almost entirely short
sales. Advices from the West encouT-
aged operations for the short side, the
reports stating that the Interstate assO-
citation had gone to pieces and that no
more signatures would be obtained for
the agreement. Other grangers were
soon affected by the persistent selling of
Burlington, in which dealings were ac-
companied by considerable excitement,
and one after another sagged of. At
taclls on the list lasted until almost de-
livery hour, when it ceased, and steady
buying for long accounts and heavy
covering of shorts put out earlier
In the day then, there was sharp rally
and most of the list again Appropriated
