 Gradual Decline. FOREIGN BUYING WAS LIGHT There Was Little Support from Wall Street, and the Light Receipts

 There was also some support from Wall helped to brace the market up. In the late afternoon session there was some buying on the statement issued by Ellison, the recognized English authority on cotton, but the close was quiet at net unchanged to points lower.

s The markets here were irregular and idle today, dragging markets for some time. The settlement disclosed only small specu- iation. Contagoes were a trife stiffer mere .fy because of the long account. Consols and the war loan hardened. Americans were very idle. They opened firmer, but were neglected and New York sold, partial re- coyery following a general slight rally. B. & O., Norfolk & Western, Pennsylvania & St Paul were scarce. The bank lost f2O- GOO gold to Brazil. The weeks influx was E40 900. Anacondas were weak on the closing Of large options, although the support was better Tintos spurted to 59 on the contago, which opened at and went off at 1. 7 Call money was wanted, and bills were offered in moderate supply. The bank did a large business in discounts and a few loans were renewed.
 American sellers of silver are holding out for 1-16 more. It is thought unlikely that they will get it.
