very discouraging effect on spec
nlative sentiment in the market

viewed as a waiting period which
was to end with definite tendency
In one direction or another. Today's
fall in prices conveyed the impress
10 that the question had been set
tied in favor of a renewal of the
selling movement. The principal
feature Of the days market was not
the weight of the selling, in spite
of The weak showing, but rather
the utmost lack of measures of sup.

In the supply and demand, but n
sentiment at close was caused by
the notice issued by the Secretary
of The Treasury of his desire to
have government deposits with the
banks recalled before his retirement
from the department on the coming
4th of March. The withdrawal of
upwards of s3O,OOO,O0O from The mon

teen years of the patient. loving effort

eracy. The beautiful sentiments ex-
pressed and the thanks OF the entire
south offered by the orators of the
occasion to them, were in d measure
second only to the tribute given the
memory of the southern chieftain.

crowds lined the streets, and filled the
windows, and many house tops were
covered with cheering, singing
groups, waving flags 10 stirring Con-
federate airs.

der-in-chiefs of the U-NC- V, presided
