The marxet opened decidedly lower in sympathy with Loudon, and th bears and room traders also joined in the movement, which resulted in mrtlier material declines (luring the first hour. Selling for foreign account had an tin - settling effect upon the street, whde there was no news of any special character to affect values except the" reports of Northwest and Omaha, the earning* of which were favor able. The market soon rallied when the soil ing pressure was removed, but there was a drooping tendency throughout the day. and toward the close another a 1 tempt to liquidate long account* induced renewed selling by the bear*, which, notwithstanding free offerings or money at low rates, broke the list badly, and the market dosed active and weak at material declines from Saturday’s figures. Reading, Union Pacific, Lackawanna, and St. Paul wore the special objects of attack Inie in the dav. the weakness in Union Pacific being attributed to a failure of the House 01 ItepresenUt ves to consider the funding bill, Bter ing ex hange rates were advanced Lie in consequence of sales of securities in this market. The opening was remarkably weak, six stocks showing declines of from 1 to 1% percent. There were further declines in most of the active stocks during the first half hour, which was followed bv comparative dullness, with prices fluctuating within a narrow range.
