WALL STREET, } TaAURSDAY, Jan. 21—6 P. M. Compared with prices yesterday tha stock mar- Ket to-day must be con‘essed weak, the decline ranging from % to 3 per cent from the nighest prices of the day. Reports were current concern- ing bank troubles in Chicago. The beginning of a sbarp scrotiny of Western bank paper, superin- duced doubtiess by recent failures in that section, is an incident irom which Wall street bas quickiy taken a cue, and commenced to calculate on the Profits of speculation. It was not thought at the opening that any sharp depression would occur to-day, and many stocks were apparently left to take care of themselves, as is shown by the small @mount of recorded transactions, to wit, only 186,000 shares. At the close, however, it was found that Hannibal and St. Josepn had been torced into a place in the funereal procession, though the cause is one of the myateries Of the street. It may be real or speculative. It is one of the secrets of speculative operation. Every bubble that is pricked, however, helps the earnest | investor. The stock commenced at 2%, advanced and declined to 2134, closing at 22%. THE RANGE OF PRICES. Western Union opened at 733; and advanced for &® moment to 74, but was generally steady at 7375 @ 785 @ 18%, and closed at the latter price.
