Irregularities on Market.

The following summary OF the action
OF the New York list was given out by
w. B. Hibbs & Co. after close yesterday:
"Coppers acted quite well in view Of
the recent large sale of metal to Europe
and well defined reports as to a further
inquiry for substantial amount. In other
directions, however. liquidation and spec
ulstive selling characterized things and
much irregulsrity occurred. OIL shares
were depressed on a contemplated inves-
tigation Of the cause of the prevailing
high prices for gasoline.
Judging by the Washington advces,
the situation with Berlin Is likely to be
brought to a head in the near future,
and current predictions are none too
assuring. H~would appear from the tenor
OF the advices emanating from Wash
ington that no further temporizing will
be tolerated. If present tendencies con-
ttnue, the outcome 10 likely to be such
as to cause distinct nervousness in the
stock market. The Mexican news was
mot conclusive and tended to aggravate
things. Taken as a whole, the incen-
tive exists to contract long lines within
reasonable bounds, until the outlook is
more assuring"
