Rusr slan bonds fell another 1-2 point and the discount on the new loan rose cor respondingly. Other government se curities were down a trifle, and It be ing the first day of the settlement in American shares, there was some heavy selling by foreign operators In this de partment. Before our opening, how ever, the weakness in London had been checked by buying orders from this side, and recovery was assisted by the completion of the "carry-over" without the difficulties which it was feared would result from hard hit speculators for the decline. The support extend ed to the London market, was signifi cant of the whole plan of operations here. From the opening It "was appar ent that strong efforts were being made to renew the advance. At the first buying converged upon one or two stocks only, Canadian Pacific and Atch ison being the particular Selections. But later, as the pressure of realizing sales slackened, the rise extended to St. Paul, the Pacific, the Southwest ern shares, and some of the industrial giving the market a fairly broad ap pearance. The stock market opened with some de elded advance* In prices. Smelting nnd day’s closing. There was selling pressure In the market again today, aud n good mnny of the large operators nnd room trader* were openly bearish In their talk, nnd looked for continued reaction. There were realis ing sales all nround the room after the opening.
