profoundly impressed by the result of
the popuisr losn experiment. The
large per oentege of foreign bids is very
signihoans, in view OF the previous ap.
prehension felt as to the probable un-
favorable effect of the free silver mani
Iestations Of the United States upon
european sentiments. During the fore-
noon the market displayed hesisancy

ecution OF heavy orders. More genuine
commission buying occurred than has
