The stock Exchange.

active railway stocks scored an average
net loss q about y per cent today. which
is probably a fair measure Of tSsa. infsg-
ence upon the stock market OF the heavy

heavier and some were less. but il was
because they were Influenced by special
causes The bear sentiment peryaded the
