SrocKs.-There was nothing left this
morning Of the frmness with which the
stock market closed on Saturday. On the
contrary the speculation was weak and
sympathized with the heaviness Of the
London market for American securities.
The publication OF the Presidents mes
sage in London in advance Of its delivery
to Congress gave the street knowledge
of its contents through the medium or the
cable and the fact that it made no mention
OF a contemplated bond issue was bear
point and helped to depreciate values.
London was in the market aud quite a
seller. General Electric, ST. Paul, Atchi-
son. Union Pacific and Louisville
and Nashville were prominent in
the early raid. Pullman, Lake
Shore. Burlington, New Jersey Central
and Sugar following closely, but WITH less
declines. Before IL O'clock the pressure to
sell was removed and an Improvement was
recorded of from Il 70 2 per cent. Suisse
uuentIy a free selling movement was devel-
oped which spread 10 almost the entire
list and a downward movement was lnaug-
urated which was not checked till
decline Of 4alI per cent. had been re-
corded. After midday the speculation be-
came heavy, and during the afternoon the
dealings were very irregular, and rallies
and reactions followed in quick success
sion. Compared with the closisg sales Of
Saturday, tie last quotations to-day are
decidedly irregular, out in the main lower.
