A Day I'm Which the Bears Played
Seesnw with the Market.
New York oct. 1.-THE bear campaign
on the Stock Exchange today finds its
prototype in that of the illustrious French
monarch who led his army up the hill and
then led them down again. In their
acute apprehension over the prospective
decline in prices they sold numerous
stocks which they did not possess, and IN
duced some few other persons to sell
their holdings Their buying to cover car
ried the market back over about the same
course 1t had followed, and the changes
are very narrow in almost all cases. Not
wthstanding the cessation of the bear
attack on the market and the subsidence
of apprehension which have recently be-
set some of the traders the buying was
as much confined to the bear element as
the selling had been and there was little
indication of any resumption of wide
spread and affecting interest in the mar
ket Bonds were rather duh, but gem
orally improved before the close. Total
sales, $16OO,OOO. Closing bids:
