SToCKs-This has been the Quietest day
at the Stock Exchange for a long time and
but for squirt during toe last hour would
have been one of the dullest on record.
The attendance Of the brokers and opera
tors ut the Board during the morning was
exceedingly small, owing TO the delay in
TRANSFORMATION because of last nights
severe storm. The bears took advantage
OF this to depress prices and were
assisted by the advance in the Bank Of
England rate of discount 10 per cent, and
the revival Of rumors affecting the credit
OF one or more Wall street concerns. The
general list was depressed a to l3s per
cent, while Wheeling and Lake Erie and
Cotton Oil preferred dropped 2$s and ~.
Subsequently it became known that firms
supposed TO be in financial difficulties had
been put through and were in no danger OF
suspension, at the same time money on
call became easier, and the premiums on
currency and gold sank lower and 1t was
reported that several of the savings banks
had informed depositors, who sometime
since gave the requisite notice OF with
drawals, that they could have their funds
on demand. These influences led 10 sharp
rally during the last hour, the improve
ment from the lowest being equal TO y TO
~ per cent. Speculation left OF strong,
at or near the best figures Of the day.
