New York, Nov. % (Wall Street,
1890 a. m).-OpeninE prices in today's

Foreign exchanges opened firm.
Noon--There was a marked absence
OF recuperative power in the market
during the morning. some of the liqui-
datlon apparently being based on the
theory that If stocks could not be
bid up they should he sold.
Professional sentiment continued
bearish, and the steady decline of
prices served TO keep small operators
and investors out of the market ex-
eept for occasional forced liquidation.
Heavy selling OF railroad shares
both dividend and non-paying. was at
tributed in some quarters 10 the call
ing of bank loans secured by those
issues.
In the industrial group, steels, to-
baccos. equipments, Shippings and
feathers gave way most, with Coppers
and sugars offering the best re-
sistance.
