to be accomplished merely by repeating
certain taxes, desirable as that may
be on other grounds. Inventories have
to be worked off, and supplies, &C

NEW YORK, March 26.-The bond

With another general decline today.
Most traders appeared to take their
cue from the action of the stock
list which suffered another wide
break It's influence was chiefly felt
in secondary rails in which losses
ran from fractions to around 2 points.
Some speculative issues in other divi-
sions wound up with greater declines.
In the late dealings the atmosphere
of pessimism affected even the pre-
cluding United States Governments.
The latter finished with losses running
from 32ds to s 32ds of a point. A

it has its favorable items. Steel pro-

and there was a decline in building

be significant of recovery. but at
least they are not indicative Of a

trend.
The danger is that business men
will be unduly influenced by the break
in the stock market. The renewed de-

forecast similar recession in busi-

The market opened 2 to points
lower, rejecting declines at Liverpool
and Bombay and small volume of
scattered selling. Prices eased a few
points further during the first few
minutes, but displayed resistance on
moderate trade buying and the mar
ket advanced rather easily on a small
demand. Cotton goods sales for the
week again were but a small pro-
portion of production.
Commodity Credit Corp. reported
39,808bale increase in the 1887

total Of 5,152.282 bales. The figure
does not include 126,665 bales re-

the market receded slightly under SELL

rain in the Southwest, lower quota

mand.
Quotations dropped as much as 7s

buying broadened enough to permit
mild recovery movement that pared
the extreme losses. Wide fluctuations
in securities, with losses predominant

grain market.
