Some vigorous selllns Just before tho closing was baecd on reports that a revolutionary revolution-ary government at Moscow had been established. es-tablished. Just beforo tho closing urgent short covering caused 6mart rallies In a few stocks. Tho tono at tho close was feverish," T. A. Mclntyre & Co-, Now York, say: "Whllo wo are Inclined to look for a lower level of prices, 'we do not anticipate antici-pate any important break and wo would favor purohasea of tho standard railroad Issues and tho better class of industrials on any pronounced weakness In the early part of next week." Marshall Spader & Co., Now York, say: "When tho character of news Is taken into consideration it cannot be said that tho stock market showed any marked weakness. London showed gen-ural gen-ural declines In tho American department nnd news from Russia was far from being be-ing reassuring, and the bank statement was quite as unfavorable in sorao of its features, as was expected. It showed an entirely different exhibit than that expected. ex-pected. Except in a very few Instances tho decline today was confined to fractions, frac-tions, and at no tlmo was there marked pressuro of stock." Logan & Bryan, Now York, say: Advices Ad-vices regarding tho Russian situation continued serious, and foreigners wero reportod to be still liquidating American securities. The bank statement was unfavorable un-favorable and higher prices wero roport-ed roport-ed for sterling for next week's steamer, which would seem to Indicate that some gold would bo exported next week, In which caso, considering our small reserves, re-serves, tho tendency most likely would be to harden rates, and this would have an adverse Influence on prices, Tho market mar-ket closed weak and we look for lower nrlces."
