THE MARKETS.
Wall street REVIEW

New York, oct. 12.-Much parade was
made yesterday of the alleged conver-
sion o. some of the leading bears on the
exchange to the bull side Of the market.
Today's developments prove that there
is a very large and aggressive contingent
still eft in the market. The hardening
of prices last night and the further ad-
vance this morning looked like a termina-
ton of the bear campaign, yet in the final
two hours today The bears succeeded in
working a sharper decline throughout the
whole list than has been accomplished on
any day of their campaign. The nominal
motive of the se,lrg was the fear that
our relations with Spain were in danger
of rupture as an outgrowth of the policy
which General Woodford was ordered to
pursue at Madrid. Total sales were 49S,-
500 shares.
