The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-10-23

At1:40 o'clock December ruled fairly
steady ait s0Ac, while soon after 2
o'clock it sold ait 77Hc. The decline
was almost unprecedented in its fierce
ness. 1t was caused by o tight money
market, and inability Of the bulls to
hold on to their wheat any longer.
The break was accompanied by the
widest excitement and prices descend
ell 50 rapidly Chat it was utterly impos-
sible for brokers 10 execute their or
ders anywhere near the desired figures.
Foreign houses were heavy sellers dur
ing the entire session.
