The stock market was quite active. but
almost entirely free from excitement.
Liquidation in many stocks continued. and
the bears were active IN different portions
of the liss. giving the market a dropping
appearance throughout most of the day.
Movements were irregular, and here and
there su bstantial gains we're established.
The hardening tendencies of money re-
stricted buying for the long account and
the unfavorable bank statement in
tensified the anxiety In regard TO
money rates in the immediate future.
Late IN the day per cent. was reached ia
call loans. which gave the principal in
centive TO O vigorous drive at Reading.
although O rumor that the report of the
receiver would DO unfavorable was used to
uepress the stock TO the lowest point vet
attained since 1t began to decline. Sterling
exchange rates were somewhat easier. and
sterling loans were effected, which led to
the abandonment OF the proposed ship
ment of gold tomorrow, and to the impress
sion that no more would go out
this week. Buying of stocks to-
day was principally for the short account.
Erie became prominent late in the day.
when il was made the object of u rumor of
q rsceivership. The general market
dropped. moved within narrow limits. but
the close was heavy OF about the lowest
prices.
Railroad bonds were fairly active, but
moved In sympathy with the stock list dis
playing heavy temper throughout and In
the last hour Reading issues dropped
away rapidly. the firsts and thirds show
ing losses of about per cent. and the fours
of about u. Other features were lacking.
Government and State bonds were dull
and firm. Closing quotations were:
