pretty clear Of support by powerful finan-
cial interests. There was also an active
movement of large dimensions. Influences
operating upon the speculation were not
changed in any material degree. Re
ports Of renewed disturbances, both polit-
ical and financial in Europe, and lower
prices of securities gave tone to the local
opening. Accordingly the market started

litical and financial disturbance abroad
dominated the opening of the market.

leans ranging up to per cent below yes
terday's final New York prices. Changers

eminent report indicating that crops of
wheat, corn and oats in 1895 yielded farm
ers about $26 900, 900 less than even in pre-
vious light years. The market started
inactive and weak with sharp declines in
all leading shares. At 1915 there was
loss in Sugar of rs, Pullman dropped
per cent and Pacific Mail 21s. Large blocks
of stock were thrown on the market. To-
ward 1870 the tone of speculation under
went a change and some gains were made.
