After a strong opening stocks declined on
realizing sales. traders taking advantage Of
the advance of Friday and Saturday. Arb-
TRACE houses in the market for only
small amount of STOCK and early purchases
were changed to sales later in the day. There
as no local outside support and the general
course Of trading remained purely professional
Operators for decline endeavored to lower
prices. reporting on their usual authority that
a third party movement was under way in this
State and that Senator Hill would preside at
Bryan ratification meeting; also that there
would be large gold exports this week. AS to

candidate by so many leading Democratic pa
pers and Democrats has created a favorable
impression on foreign investors, who will not
part with their American security possessions

ton of the gold reserve and the Withdrawals OF
gold by bullion houses, but neither OF these
factors is cause for alarm. The reserve is still
only trife below the S100.OO0.OO0 mark, and
bullion houses report no general movement Of
gold boarding; in fact, they say that the de-
mard for the precious metal is not increasing.
