settled, and shorts went in to cover, showing
that they are not by any means confident of

shorts. interest has been very little reduced by
the days operations. The Tise IN the early por-
ton of the day was resisted with considerable
force, but the effort was unavailing, and was

in the last hour was there anything like a halt.

another stimulus toward noon, and the efforts
to cover sent all stocks up in which there
has been a most marked selling of
