MARKET REPORTS BY TELEGRAPH
Wall Street Was Irregular in Tone. With
Firm Undertone.

the main feature of operations IN slochs
today. A firm undertone was IN evidence,
however, throughout. The eccentrlclty OF
the movement of prices was chiefly at
tributed to the professional dealers and
others who preferred to take the prollls
accruing in the advance.
The stock market opened moderately ac-
tive and irregular. The tendency OF prices
was downward, with Changers and Man
haitian leading.
The bears met with little success, de-
pressing prices after 1O:15, and the ap-
pearance of supporting orders IN dll1ereht
stocks led them to cover freely, sending
Sugar up 11s to 1O51a and the general list
an important fraction. An easier feeling
developed in share speculation at III :5o,
chiefly due to realizing sales. Declines dld
not exceed fractions and were most I'M
portant in sugar and Changers. New
England jumped 5A per cent to 5lA on a
single transaction.

Sterling exchange-Weak at S4sS14d4.sS72
for demand, and s4.S704S7A for 60 days.
