SrooKs-The stock market was feverish
and irregular throughout the day. The
uncertainty in regard TO the policy OF the
government with reference TO the cur
rency question causes timidity among the
traders, which assists those working Tor
lower prices. The break Of 81 in Missouri
Pacific at the opening to Az
on the rumor that the road
was about 10 be placed in the
hands Of receiver led to decline in the
general list Of 1SalH per cent. On the
statement by George Gould and Russell
Sage that the rumor was utterly without
foundation, and that the Missouri PACING
property was in better condition than for
long time, the stock rallied to 4g4. The
most decisive movement OF the day oc-
Cured during the last half hour OF ousl-
ness, when the posted rates OF sterling ex,
change were advanced to 4SS and
400, and there was talk Of shipments or
So O0O. 900 to IS, 000 600 gold by Saturdays
steamers. On all this the bears made
violent attack, under which prices in ma
ierity of instances went lower than before.

tone of the market at the close was heavy
on rumors of gold exports late in the week.
