The st o k market wav active for the short session to-day, and weakness, which has been the tea: u e of the we-K. culminate 1 in a sharp decline In the last t.alf hour, when lowest prices of the week were reached in all leading shares. Ihe prime moving force in tue inarset is n>w unexpectedly the large shipments o' gold, and while weakness in th§ rates for foreign ex change is regarded as*in Jicuting a.i early end of the golJ shipments, the heavy drain on the resources of the b nks has begun to be felt in rates for money, and operators find themselves unable to carry stocks, with which tt ey are loaded in many cases. Some of these ship ments, however, which are scared)- justified by tbe rates which have prevailei lor the last two months, are said to have been brought about by the same parti-s who succeeded in locking up money last fall in or ler to lower the market and for the same purpose. There is no other exp anatioh of t ie unusual outgo of gold at the low rates of exchange prevailing. The mar set started otf to-day with some pro- su e to sell, apparently the remains o yeue -day'3 move ment, but there were In lications of inside buy ing in Missouri Pacific, and of buying of other stocks by operators who were working for a re action when the market was 5 per c nt. higher than at pres -nt This influence made itself f.-lt, anu a general rally of small proportions was brought about. The bink statement, however, which w as expected to be bad, showed a loss to surplus reserve of nearly $2,700,09). and a* it was known to reflect only a portion of to day's outgo of gold, the inference was that tbe ar uad condition of the banks is not so favorable as in dicated by the statement. Selling movement was resumed with increased vigor therefore, and even the strongest stocks yielded readily, and almost all or the leading stocks lost over 1 per cent, from the best prices of the early deal ings. There was au effort to cover ou decline, however, and buying in the last feiv minutes actually steadied tne market, and brought prices in some instances up small fractions. The close was steady at ral y, but at close to lowest figures. Final changes are generally losses of large fractions, and Union Pacific is dowui 1(4 and Reading an 1 Louisvilie and Nash ville each 1 percent.

Chicago, May 9.—Tnere was quite a heavy trade in wheat to day within an irregular range, prices ruling both above and below the closing figures of yesterday. July op med at 99 c, against 9964 cat the close yesterday. The en tire trade seemed to be b-arish. Everybody was trying to get rid of grain, but very few were successful. The big hear leaders, who had anticipated selling large quantities of grain, were disgusted, and started in to engineer a rise. The result was that early sellers soou found themselves scrambling to get their grain back again. July, which in the first minute touched Oj'qc, sold IT iu the early dealings to 9764 c. When tne hears took on hours and began to buy the price s.-iot up to sl. Having made hard spot tlie bearsMgain turned sellers, and, on t leir offerings, a reaction to 994 e followed: then came a ral yto 9 'B4c; but the bear offer ings were too heavy and tho decline succeeded, tne market closing at 98i60. May was rather a fancy deal and closed about I®l4 C higher than on yesterday Corn was fairly active and firm. The fe ling at the opening was fairly steady, but the local crowd was bearish and sold enough to cause a break in prices. The market then grew strong in sympathy with the rally in wheat, but weakened rear the close. July opened at 5 @59V4c. and ‘dined to 58c, rallied to 51' 5o and closed at 5866 c. Earlv selling was caused by fin - weather an I indications of Jar e receipts. Oats were fairly active but tins-t tied. There was talk of dry weather at one time and rain at another, whicn kept prices moving up and down within a liberal range. Provisions started o it weak with trains, declined still fur ther, advanced sharply on large buying by iCennctt, Hopkins & Cos. ami other commission firms, and weakened. July pork started out at 812. sol 1 to #ll s6, improved to sl2 1214 and re ceded to sll 93.
