hsws quite q few investment orders in the

Pacific looked good. For no very Wei de-
insd reason the hard coal stocks were some
ghAt heavy, but the declines were really
zid1ng and In spite OF gloomy forecasts in
boH or two quarters on the subject OF forced
2iQut6at.on over the election. the tone in all
IAApartnents was fairly hard. It may be
bald that the recent decline was made pretty
unoh at the Will OF the market leaders and

The close was marked by considerable
