volume but also of no special signifi-
canoe, there being no interest shown in

lots were wanted in the case of one
stock or another, but there was no great
desire to fill such orders, nor. on the
other hand, was there any pressure to

them. The only broker who appeared
to have any stock for sale wanted 93Z.

price.

tone of the market, or, at least, it was
in the same class with the balance of the
list as far as being a factor in trading

recorded. and that was twenty-five shares
for 71A. which is cheaper stock than any
disposed of yesterday. However, the quo
