its position and prices were distinctly
downward. closing with feeling that
for d time at least the effort 10 ad-
vance prices were practically over. The
bears jumped in and hammered things

breadth Of the selling was greater than
any day yet, Traders not attached to

selling orders, and while the price was
held strong at - it was felt that too

An indication of the decline was given
in the early trading by the persistent
efforts to dispose of the bonds Of the

represented in the sale of three lots Of
