was TO make foreigners cautious, while there
were signs that the London market had been

ration for the expected demand from that quar-
ter and considerable
PRESSURE TO SELL
was noticeable here at the opening; The coal
stocks, however. we're the only ones which
yielded TO any marked extent, though a decline
OF per cent. In Cotton-On occurred, which was
afterward fully recovered. Over hall the re-
corded transactions were in Reading. The sell
Ing WAS felt in an extreme decline OF per cent.
from Its best price, tho other coalers following
and the decline served to check the bullish iee-
ing In the rest OF the list, which had such steady
growth during the last week. The general list,
however fiuctuated within narrow limits, and
only the Changers were affected to any marked
extent.
The CLOSE HEAVY.
The market finally closed active and heavy,
though rallying at times with prices generally
