from Lue L owen, of Pine Bluff, proved
that surmise to be incorrect.
From the description sent to Major Syl-
vester it was believed that the man was

photograph was sent on, but failed to
establish the mans identity as the Dali

unsettled with declines of one point IN

in Louisville and Nashville. Commission
houses in the West were reported as
the principal sellers. But the buying was
good on the break, and excellent support
was noticeable in the Steel stocks, ST.

a decided factor in rallying the market.
During the afternoon it was rumored
on the board that the Atchison schedule
received yesterday regarding the cut OF

the selling pressure was relieved.
