sympathetic weakness In other stocks
allied to It. It cannot he said that this

difference, for It effectually checked
the advancing tendency In tho general
market and worked a re-aetlon extend
ing to over two points In a number
of standard railroad stocks and from
four to seven points In some of the In
dustrials. Thanks to tho earlier rise
In the market, however, and the rally
following the stump, net losses are In
nearly all cases small and some sub
stantial net gains are shown by Im

many unfavorable r'iniors of Monday
were revived In full force and asgra

rather wide. Prices had advanced

Gas, Manhattan nnd Tennessee Coal
about 5, and tobacco and Metropolitan,

which showed the largest declines,
could be traced In part to the same
sources as those which were responsi
