COMMENT ON MARKET.

g. Bowie Clipman, Of 7. r. Chapman
* Co.-''There is no question that. IN the
minds of conservative people. there exist
ed before and around this morning s
opening serious apprehension as to the
course Of prices. Overnight news was
sufficiently discouraging 10 cause this
feeling. Much relief was therefore ex-
pressed when the first prices appeared
at about last nights level, and in some
cases better. This was followed by a
rally, which carried some OF the issues
from 2 70 / per cent higher From
that time on the market became
duller, and aggressive short selling set in.
followed by more or less liquidation. This
continued until shortly after 2 o'clock,
when the railroad stocks came 10 the
front as leaders, and with strength in the
Hills, Hartman, St Paul. Atchison, Penn
sylvania, and Reading, led the rally For
eign exchange. after an early decline
rallied but private advices are now 10 the
effect that the Bank Of France has re-
scinded the offer 20 allow interest on gold

the selling In railroads was that of put
days final rally viii make that class Of
traders nervous, and it would not be sur
prising If the rally continued into to-mor-
rows session; if so. 10 my mind the op-
portunity should be taken advantage Of

which netted a point or So but toward
the closing the market showed improve
ment. There was no news Of Importance.
Exchange ruled firm, influenced chiefly by
remittances Of recent stock sales, but did
not indicate any nearer approach to the
gold export point. There was no change
in money, but rates went off sharply near
the close. Yesterdays disclosures in The
Traction investigation was the chief topic
Of conversation. It is a lamentable exhi-
bition Of High Finance The stock mar
ket has been liquidating so long that It
has discounted a good deal, and it is prob
able that people who pick up stocks at
the present level will get a nice profit in
the long run"
E. w Crew, Of Henry Clews & Co.
The only support lent to the market this
morning came from the shorts. London
was a free seller, and the indications are
that Europe especially Holland, has stiI
plenty of stocks to dispose Of. The Bank
of England statement shows a decline in
the reserves OF % per cent, and now
stands at 461z. Ten days ago experts were
figuring on importations Of gold to this
country. Those calculations have been
upset by the outpouring of stocks, with
the result that foreign exchange is now
almost up to the exporting point. It will
be seen that the situation has undergone
change for the worse; time money is
almost unObtainable. The outside public
is buying stocks, but, as usual. in frac-
tional amounts, while the big insiders are
still inclined TO Tighten their loads. The
demand for stocks in the loan crowd.
after the close yesterday, was brisk.
showing that the short interest has been
extended by this weeks sales. An un-
wieldy short interest can always produce
rallies-there is nothing more than this
in sight"
