Speculation at the Stock Elk
change was less active to-day and the mar
ket lacked the strength which was such
a prominent characteristic Of yesterday 8
operations. This was mainly due to the
absence of outside buying orders, which
wsre so plentiful yesterday. The frst
sensation of the day was the sudden break
in Disullng and Cattle Feeding
under perfect avalanche OF stock.
The price broke 31s TO 1875.
Various theories were advanced TO account
| for the drop. IL was reported from chicago
that the company was in financial Difficult
ties once more and that special meeting
of the directors had been called for Mon
day next TO devise means to secure funds.
These rumo-S were subsequently denIe1,
but the break hurt the whole market Tor
time. The pressure 10 sell
was by no means heavy outside Of Whisky.
| Toward one o'clock the active issues were
in better demand and general recovery
| followed with American Sugar In the lead.
| The market then drifted into dullness ;how-
! ever. there was an increase in the volume
| of business aud prices dropped all along
| the line. The market was affected by
reports from Washington that the
! silver men had gained victory IN the
| House through the amendment OF the
rules permitting the Committee on
Weights and Coinage to introduce meas
ures at will. Sales, 249,6OO shares. quo
