permanent price making factors. AS long as
receipts keep SO large and foreign markets so
dull scalping rallies all that likely.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

There is possibility of gold being engaged
for export next week..
Whallon, Case & Co. from New Iork-Weari-
and apathy are more responsible for the
decline than anything else The same or bet
ter conditions prevail than when the market
was 10 points higher. About $4,000 shares OF
long stock was sold by two houses yesterday
principally Erie. Prices steadied at the CLOSE
on short, covering and there should be further
rally unless get renewed liquidation. While
the range Of values is still high stocks have had
very substantial decline and some Of them
are reaching points where they begin to look
attractive.
Watson g. Co. from New York-Following the
ordinary course Of events and considering the
recent liquidation and the apparently oversold
condition OF the market should at least
temporary. rally from present prices. The
general feeling has shown itself to-day as being
less pessinistic and there was some investment
buying of Pennsylvania and st. Paul and while
it is generally believed that the pressure to
sell stocks has been removed and that there is
no cause for any great anxiety about general
conditions, nevertheless the disposition
tinues to stand aside and await the adjustment
Of the demands of labor for additional recogni-
ton and the settlement Of foreign obliga-
tions: There has been an entire absence of
definite news of Importance, and even the specu-
lative element awaits some Developments be-
fore venturing to commit itself to either side of
