point. This was the trend of prices until
1890.
The advice of posted quotations for
sterling exchange to $489 @ $491, by a
leading drawer, coupled with sales to
take profit, caused drop in some of the
leading shares. The pressure to sell
soon abated.
The market at II O'Clock was quiet, but
ruling close to top prices.

became wreck. 1t is believed that all

ting to the ship and rescued several of
her crew. Seventeen others remained
lashed to the rigging when the 'llfe-boat
