Prices on the whole have sagged. al

been renewed in Sugar and Missouri

explained the movements.

general sagging tendency.
Nearly every class of stocks closes
slightly lower than a week ago, as Will
be noted from the subjoined table.
Even Sugar is two points off from
where IL was on Saturday last, and sew
en- points lower than IL struck in the
big excitement of Monday.
The news affecting values has been
mixed. on the whole the strike news
has not affected the market notably.
even the stocks of the railroads which
have been most affected by the reign
ing strike fever failing to go on more
than a point or two.
on the other hand cheap money has
not been an incentive for an upward
movement. And money IL very cheap
