speculation to-day WAS fevefish and un-
settled. A variety of influences con-
tributed to bring about depression. In
the hrss place instead of higher range
OF prices for American securities in the
London market, as the local traders ex-
pected, although upon what basis could
not be reasonably explained, quotations
from that center showed declines. The
weakness was set down to disaatisiac-
ZION over the terms OF the proposed new
revenue bill. This criticism made that
only q partial acceptance. The local
trading was unfsvorsbly affected SYM
pathetically, and material declines were
recorded at the outset Of business. To
account for the weakness stress was also
laid on the estimated shipments of gold
by to- morrow'a steamer, which were
only partially verified.
