Interest In the stock market is steadily dwind-
ling. The transactions in Atchison were more
than O fifth. and those in Atohison, Oregon and
TrnnscOnunental and ST. Paul were about half
Of business that fell considerably below 200, 900
shares The movements in these stocks were
due 20 peculiar causes. Atchison WAS weak in
the first dealings in consequence of the March
statement, and toward tho close it was equally
weak on the results OF the annual ncetir &. The
changes in the management were q disappointment
because they must be admitted 10 be superficial
rather than real 1t would be difficult demon

In Wall Street an element OF weakness rather

the lowest points.
There can be no doubt that the default by the
ST. Louis, Arkansas aud Texas Railroad has
checked u growing confidence in speculation. The
attempt to conceal the fact that the interest coupons
were being bought, not paid, excited alarm among
