The market yesterday may best be de-
scribed as spotty. There was realizing in
a great many stocks and stop orders were
caught. The important interests seemed
to be on both sides OF the market, and

and bears seemed to be in the ascendant
in different stocks. There were wide
fluctuations. Probably the average at the
close was trifie above the opening. 1t
is out of the question TO give any opinion
of value as to the probable course OF the
market today.
