during the greater part of the day, he total sales
being only .a3,275 shares. Apathy characterized
the dealings until the last our of bus iness, when

market The late decline in the general list was
due TO an unfounded report OF the serious illness
of J. p. Morgan. and to vague rumers from Wash
ngton that the President would indorse the action
of Congress in the Cuban matter. Tobacco and
