Trading in Erie is distributed widely.
In Rock Island there appears 10 be some
effort by insiders to depress the stock.
Smelling has been unusually active on
buying which is attributed to one Of
the prominent directors. and there is a
disposition 10 look for some important
development in the cOmpanys affairs.
The market was slightly irregular, but
generally weak through the forenoon.
There was continued heavy pressure on
all the Erie stocks. which broke badly.
There were few exceptions in the rail-
way list or elsewhere TO the general
tendency OF the market
The United States steel shares were
pressed for sale on rumors OF the Illness
OF a conspicuous operator supposed to
be largely interested in them.
London houses sold quite heavily in
this market. as the rapid decline has
served TO derange confidence IN the sta

may be the supply Of both call and time
money. let the possibility OF gold exports

seems to me that this road will
be obliged to extend itself into
this country and into the Du-
