NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

tendency manifested by the stock market
yesterday became more pronounced to-
day with early declines in majority of
to have switched around very decidedly,
although surface conditions were for the
most part unchanged. There was a re-
currence of rumors regarding the health
of Mr. Hartman and the long continued
drouth in the Nebraska corn belt excited

initiated against a resumption of bullish
operations was the belief prevalent in

been going forward too rapidly. Disap-
pointing, too. has been the failure of the
so-called public to evince more than Ian
guild interest in the doings of the street"
From the very outset today's market
was irregular chiefly owing to. a series
of bear attacks which converged largely
around the Hartman issues. At midday
