The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-04-10

The market was very unsatisfactory during the
past week. and in the absence OF any ncws of inn
portance from the front prices declined. The de-
cline cannot be attributed TO manipulation but
resulted from the selling short of small lots by few
brokers' who were satisfied to make scent chip.
Up to the present they have been allow ed to have
their own way.
The reports from the mines were not OF nature
to give life to stocks but at the time they are
quite encouraging. and may lead to something OF
importance when least expected.

prices showed no change from the pre- vicus even
