curities was feverish to-day, but business
was on light scale. Transactions in
stocks footed up only 1924 shares. the
smallest total for any day of the week.
Speculation was feverish throughout and
under the control of professional opera
tors who are still working for lower prices.
The street was flooded with rumors Of an
unfavorable character, but on investiga-
ton it was found that the reports had no
foundations; in fact some of the reports
were of a highly sensational character,
and undoubtedly had something tosdo with
the lower range of prices, which prevail
ed during the afternoon session. The spec
ial feature of the trading was the heavi-
ness of Western Union. The stocks sold
down per cent to 375s and lacked support
throughout. The heaviness of Western
Union offset the good effect of gold inn
portatons and this, with the selling for
foreign account explains the downward
tendency of the market. Reports of rate
cutting at the west assisted the shorts in
their work Of depressing prices, railway
earnings to hand for the second week Of
the current month generally showed a de-
crease as compared with the previous year
and were not without their influence.
Speculation left off weak In tone with
prices Ad3 per cent below yesterdays
closing Western Union leading. In the
active list, Pullman Palace declined 2 per
cent. to Al. Bonds were weak. The to-
tai sales footed up $4,000.
