THE MORGAN.
The leasers at the Morgan mine are

The drift is in about $50 feet, and they
expect to encounter one of the great

II there is anything in local indorsa-

MARKET REPORTS,
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. 5.-The stock market
! underwent course of very drastic LIQUID
alton, today. as a result of which prices
are from one to four points lower than
last night. That this course of things
was helped along by professional bear
pressure was made evident by the very
urgent covering movement which devel-
oped in the final half hour Of trading and
which rallied the prices of great many
stocks over a point from the lowest point
touched, reducing by SO much the losses
which would otherwise be shown by the
days trading. But this recovery at the
close was one of greatly diminished vol
ume of business and was apparently eff
fected by the temporary Withholding of
liquidating offerings, as was done once or
twice. previously during the day, only to
be succeeded by renewed liquidation and
decline.
There is no doubt that the motive of a
large part of the selling was the belief
that relations between the United States
and Spain were drifting toward an open
rupture. This has been a bear argument
for some time in the stock market and
