T'ho stock markot Lina boon declining for daya at 2 rato that has dismayod tho bulls aud olated tho tenrs. Tho only roason that could bo found for tho doclino was that tho bulls, being without & Joador, wora demoralized, At the opening of business to-day, thoro wore vigorous and ovi- dontly systomatio attacks upon tho market by thio bears, but thoir efforta would have beeu only . purtially Buccossful hud it not boon for the fail- v of & cliquo which has boon londod with stock of the Columbus, Chicago & Indinun Contral Rallrond, For months, they have boon working desporately to sustain its prico, but have boon forced to witness its decline, In order to carry the atock they woro OBLIGED TO IORNOW MONEY, and somo of the lonrs having boon called to-day, thoy woro unablo to rospond. 'Tho rosult was .that tho lonuors threw their collatoral sccurity, consiéing priscipally of O, O. & 1. C., upou the sarkot, and a decline immediately followed. The firm of Capron & Merriam, tho brokers of tho combination, who had boen carrying thoir stock and making 1oang, wore, of course, wonk- anod by tho disclosure. Thoso who had sold stock to the firm sent tho stock in without doloy for payment, but mot with no rosponse. It was soon roported that thoy-bad failed.
