Stocks-The stock market displayed
about the average Saturday volume OF
trading and was irregular Of movement,
some exceptionally wide fluctuations be-
ing recorded in the specialties. Predic-
lions OF an unfaVOrable bank statement,
which subsequently proved TO have been
untOunded, and sympathy with further
reaction in the wheat market constituted
the speculative influences. The opening
was weak and tracuonally lower on ac-
count of a reaction in the prices of Amer
lean securities in London and realizing by
the room traders and others. The de-
clines were soon checked, however ana the
entire railroad list rallied. Toward the
end of the first hour the bears attacked the
market and effected reaction, in Whlch
Sugar. the Changers and Tobacco were
the most prominent. The last mentioned
stock bore the brunt OF the selling ana

strong at fractionally net gains. Railroad
