The Post says silver bullion is declining
again according 10 the usual program for
the last half of the month. To-day the
full government quota Of 100000 ounces
for September was completed. The great
London bullion brokers have long since
discovered that the proper card TO play is
to Withhold sill orders for American silver
until our government is out OF the market
for month. Little engineering OF the
London silver market which they control
then depresses the commercial price, hold
ers of silver here are anxious 10 avoid &C
cumulating a large stock and towards the
close Of the month the Londoners buy at
large concessions in price such silver as
they need for India and the Continent
This happens with every successive month,
and is likely to continue so long as the alb
normal government demand continues 10
create temporarily an artificial market for
the metal
GovERSMENrs-Dun and steady.

SrocKs-The stock market to-day dis
PLAYED more activity than for long time,
but at the same time il was irregular in its
movements The great feature of the early
trading was the heavy and apparently en-
thusiastic buying for foreign account, but
the advantage was taken of this demand
bv many domestic holders TO realize on
their stocks, and feverish aud generally
strong market was succeeded by a slow
but steady depression in the afternoon.
Union Pacific was the special point of attack
FOR the bears, the only reason given for the
selling being rumors OF forthcoming I'M
favorable statement, but quantities OF
other leading stocks, including some Of the
Vanderbilts, were thrown on the market,
and hence most of the active stocks are
slightly lower as the result OF the days
operations. Later in the day, however,
Reading became the chief bull stock. The
market finally closed active and heavy, at
small fractional losses. Sales 5o4,S
shares. Quotations closed bid:
