cline abroad surprised every one, as did
the enormous transactions on the opening

half as much This gigantic trading
stunned the market and while the selling
continued the rally abroad enabled the
market to absorb the offerings. A gem

transactions before the Christmas holt
days, though many bought expecting an
other scene similar TO that of yesterday.

are light at the ports and interior towns,
though rather more disposition Is reported

concession in prices. Continental spinners

liquidating sales for the leading bulls
here. The above advicea, coupled with
liberal selling here for the same COM
mission houses caused a decline of points
despite large purchases by Weld & Co.
of New York and Boston, estimated at 49,
