the stock exchange to-day, and the
prominent issues during the early trad
ing showed marked weakness. The adj
vanced money rate was to be expected in
view of the preparations making
for the November interest and divi-
dend payment. The bears were also
more aggressive than of late, and one of
their leaders sold the Industrial and
Changers with more confidence than Of
| late. London was again a moderate SELL
err, and a number of small holders, who
do not desire to carry stocks over the
election liquidated. This played directly
| into the hands of the bears, and prices
were forced down Ad2 per cent. Sugar
