SToCKs--The stock market opened strong
to-day on purchases by operators who felt
reassured by the positive statement by
President Cleveland that the Government
would take every possible means to pre-
serve the parity between gold and silver.
The heavy engagements of gold for ship
ment TO Europe, however, by tomorrow's
steamer and the activity in money soon led
to a reaction, the bears taking
advantage of these matters to
brighten small holders. The decline from
the highest was equal to 7Sa2 per emit. A
break OF TX in American Tobacco, Ga in
Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan
and AZ in Hooking Coal and Iron contrib
uted 10 the weakness of the general mar
ket Later in the afternoon National Lead
and Cotton Oil yielded about two points.
The market taken as whole, however,
displayed frmness, and closed steady in
tone at prices 4 10 S1S per cent
above Saturday. The conflicting re
ports in regard to the conference
held by Assistant Treasurer Jordan with
the presidents Of the banks, and later,
with the representatives Of the various
banking houses. kept operators in an I'M
certain state of mind, and led TO frequent
changes in the temper OF speculation. The
sharp break in Toledo, Ann Arbor and
North Michigan, was due to the dissolu-
ton of an old bull pool, and TO the alleged
temporary embarrassment OF an official OF
the company who has large amount OF
privileges on the stock outstanding. The
market closed steady in tone. Sales,
