GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, Oct. 9.-The stock market to-day
was still more active than on any day this week
and was irre. ular and feverish from opening to
close, with the result of lea wing the list rregu-
larry changed. the gains and losses being very
evenly balanced, with few important changes
either way. The statistics of the bears to-day
as well as yesterday indicate, if anything, that
the market is more heavily oyer-sold than at
any time during the past year. Rumors of bear
origin were afoat yesterday affecting the credit
and standing of well-known houses, and these
were supported by the predictions of an I'M
pending panic. The action OF the market to-
day, if it indicates anything, shows that the
bears are nearly, if not quite, to
the end of their rope, and while
further declines forced in many
stocks cessation Of the pressure sure to re-
suit in rally, which was invariably accom-
piished on smaller dealings than sufficed to Gre
ate a decline. The final changes are about
equally divided between gains and losses, but
the only ones of Importance are losses of tx in
New England, per cent. in Wheeling and Lake
Erie preferred.
Government bonds dull and heavy.
State bonds entirely neglected.
