The morning call., 1891-10-14
THE STOCK MARKET.

There was a weakening off in prices yesterday. 1t
was evidently caused by the withdrawal OF steady
ing orders by the insiders and the way the stock
was offered down by Homer King Epstein and one
or TWO others made the clippers skurry betw cen
the boards pretty lively. Good news WAS repor ted
from Savage during the day, but the action OF the
stock spoke volumes TO the contrary and the long
lookedfor deal in that quarter seems as far off as
ever. On the $3.50 call little furry was caused by
Marks purchases OF the stock at S3o3 05. and 1900
shares placed record, with Barrett selling.
OphT steady at IS 20, Mexican 81 So, Curry
81 IS and Con. Cal and Virginia at So rs. The
balance OF the list remained steady but very little
stock changed hands. After the cali Homer King
began selling stock wherever he could find bidder
and prices went down with run under lively
sales. Con. Cal and Virginia sold from Sc 25 down
TO s. 81 10 under sales OF 400 shares; Ophr So 10
as 90, 1870 shares; Savage SO 05@2 80, 100
shares, and the balance of the list IN proportion.
On the 80 P NJ. call Epstein had the selling or
ders. and forced Ophir down to $50 40. Con. Cal. q
Va to 1854, which was the asking price for 300
shares by walls at the close OF the call. Savage
showed a little strength at 81 IS, but the balance
OF the list were weak and heavy aud the few sales
After the call prices OF oomstock shares declined
still further, aud closed weak but the Tuscaroras
