Vulnerability of Market.

The stock market moved this week out
of the narrow groove which 1t had fol-
lowed for some time. The firm undertone
of the previous month was lost and prices
gave way. at times rapidly. In many
cases the lowest levels of the year were
reached. The decline was attended by
increased activity on the short side of the
market Sharp. bear raids were OF daily
occurrence, being directed most frequently
at Union Pacific. Steel and Lehigh Valley.
The vulnerability of the market to these
attacks reflected increasing bearishness
of sentiment, owing to the continued
backwardness of trade. the dwindling
earnings of railroads and the further de-
lay in the freight rates case
The critical state reached in this coun-
try's relations with Mexico also tended
to depress stocks. This situation was
used effectively by the bears, although
the market showed no nervousness on this
account.
The success Of New York city's sale or
s6H 600 900 of "a per cent bonds was ex-
pected to result in numerous offerings by
private corporations. New York central
sold $4,000, 600 of bonds, and it was un-
derstood that various other roads mclud-
ing Baltimore and Ohio and St Paul,
were in the market
