When the fact developed that the buy

however, on covering by the shorts. The
common stock touched 16 and the bonds
iO's during the day. The general market
weakened again, in response to this drive,
but prices generally got slightly below last
nights level. The uncovered bears took
alarm at this evidence Of effective sup
fsSft and bought largely to cover their
sra0rts. The principal active stocks after
wards got from 10 to 2 points over last
night. There were wide declines both on
the Stock Exchange n in the outside
market in some stocks, for which there
is not an active market. but speculative
improved as a result of the days events.
The hrmness OF the later market was
heiped by the preliminary estimates of the
weeks currency movement. which prom
isessa merely nominal changesin the cash
holdings of the banks.
CURRENCY MOVEMENT.
The large shipment OF currency to the
South and a small loss on the Subtreas-
ury operations proper were slightly more
than offset by receipts from other sources,
including new gold. The heavy liquidation
in the stock market gives fair promise of
some reduction in the loan item and the
deposit liabilities. Money was rather firm
er, however to-day, both for time loans
and on call. and a further fall in New
YORK exchange at Chicago brought the
market nearer to the point for shippine
currency West. There was a sharn breaE
~ sterling exchange. which was partly in
Ilesponse to the irmer money market here
here was also a larger supply of com
ioercial bills in the exchange market. II
Is reported hat some of the interior
banks are selling demand bills of ex-
cnange here against purchases of grain
and Gotten bills. The weeks exports of
wheat Show an increase of more than .
10000 bu. over the previous week, and
the decline in the cotton market, IL is he

New York. Sept. 25.-Yesterday's late
events in the stock market aroused Sc
rious apprehension that disastrous results
might be witnessed to-day. AS is often
the case in speculative matters, the threat
ened harm melted to efforts to counter
act 1t. There were strong protective meas
ures adopted in the stock market to check
the precipitate decline in prices which
threatened the violent shrinkage of cred
its. There were feverish and cratic fiuc-
t~uations during the greater part of the
morning. but the supporting measures
finally proved OF effect, and the market
quieted down, and became steady at a
level of values substantially above last
night. There was some unsettlement again
in the final dealings. but the pressure was
again resisted, and the market closed
steady and dull, but below the best. The
liqaidation was continued with consider
abfe force this morning, especially in the
United States Steel securities. Both class
esfof stock and the second-mortgage bonds
opened at new low records. and kept the
early market unsettled in spite OF support
by powerful financial interests at other

The general appropriation bill Of the
last general assembly has been declared
illegal by Judge Carpenter in the dis
trict court Of Denver, and after reading
the evidence and decision, one cannot
help having a little more respect for
the Hon. T. NJ. Patterson, who insti-
gated the suit. OF course the case will
be taken to the Supreme court, but
there is little doubt that the decision of
the district court will be sustained.
The evidence shows that the bill signed
by the presiding officers Of the two
branches of the legislature was not the
one given to the governor for his ap-
proval, neither was there any amount
named for the various departments in
the bill as passed by the legislature, but
. set Of clerks and the chairman of the
appropriation committee filled in the
amounts to suit their own ideas. II
such work is allowed to stand there is
no telling to what it might lead in fu.
ture legislation. It will be necessary
for the governor to call an extra session
