ZIG SLUMP IN STOCKS.

Traded In.

The long continued upward course OF the STOCK
market. checked Tuesday afternoon was
violently reversed yesterday, when under the
lead OF Amalgsmated Copper. and primarily as
result OF The attacks delivered against tha'
highly speculative issue, the entire list sharp
" declined. the market closing weak at anout
the low level of the day. The sales. 23Ss2 oi
shares exceeded those for any previous DAY
since the panic of May 9, 1901.

able nature 20 which the slump might be at
trfbuted. Cal; money indeed. at one time rose

but Il closed at 81 per cent. at which rate
most OF the days loans had been made, and 1t
could not be learned that there had been any
calling Of loans restriction Of credits to pre-
cipitate the break.
The expectation of further gold engagements
for export were confirmed. and there were re
raittances through the Sub-Treasury of $1,000
600 TO San Francisco and of 100000 to New
Orleans: but similar operations have up to this
time been practically without effect ON the stock
market

ticaliy without any recessions. and experienced
observers have recently been predicting that the
