New York, Feb. 23.—The Evening Post’s
London financial cablegram says: “The
stock markets here opened firm to-day,but
later became flat, not on political consid
erations, but owing to the position of the
account at the settlement. Brokers find
that their clients are not meeting their dif
ferences ao promptly as they might, and
are closing many accounts. This applies
especially to American railways. These fol
lowed the general course rising in the
morning and having a quick descent after
midday.
New York, Feb. 23.—T0-day’s further
declines In stocks undoubtedly reflected a
condition of real apprehension in the
minds of holders of securities as to devel
opments in the Cuban question.
Commission house orders to sell were In
large vofiume at the opening, and these
soon swept away the advances over Mon
day’s level, which had been elaborately ar
ranged by the use of the cable to establish
a higher range of prices in London over
Ihe holiday. There was a professional
buying here at the opening designed to
the same end, but not even the first quo
tations were up to the London parity.
Gains were speedily wiped out by the
slump which followed the abandonment
of the professional attempt to sustain
prices.
The uncovering of margins and selling
orders to stop losses brought a flood of
stocks on the market. Sugar led the
break with a decline of over 2 points, aft
er a rise of a point, and fluctuated fever
lshly all day, closing at near the lowest
et an extreme decline of over three points.
The local specialties were also centers of
weakness. Metropolitan Street Railway
loslrffe seven points and Manhattan about
three. Great Northern preferred dropped
off seven points. The weakness of the
morning was In spite of a large buying
In this market for London account. The
volume of this buying ran as high as 60,000
shares of stocks. The London market and
the Continental exchanges showed an im
proved tone on the subsidence of appre
hension regarding the West African sit
uation, but there was a significant decline
in London and Paris In the Spanish 4s, Ihe
closing price In London showing a loss of
% as compared with Monday's closing.
The weakness in the stocks which were
the favorites in the London buying was
off set until later in the day, but they
eventually succumbed with the rest of the
list. In fact the weakness of these stocks
after the sustaining force of London buy
ing had been withdrawn, contributed to
the final break in the market. The day’s
net losses exceeded two points in only a
few of the standard stocks, but were over
three points in some of the specialties.
The outlook In the money market is not
such as to encourage speculation. Call
loans were made at 2 per cent, to-day.
Currency continue to move to the Interior
and the sub-treasury had a credit balance
at the clearing house to-day of $1,772,516,
reflecting the withdrawal of another 10
per cent, installment of the government's
deposit of the Union Pacific payment. For
eign exchange weakened only slightly. In
the face of large London buying of stocks
The decline in exchange on Paris was
more marked. This development offers
some corroboration of the report that a
portion of the money which Is going from
Paris to London on account of the dis
turbed condition of affairs in the French
oapiial, is going into American securities.
Standard 01l liquidating certificates arc
not dealt in on the exchange, but in the
outside market to-day they sold at 370 as
against 390 at the opening to-day. Before
tho recent 10 per cent, division distribu
tion they sold at 448.
Bonds—There were heavy dealings in the
Lnlon Pacific 4s. Total sales, $4,275,000.
Government bonds were decidedly w-ak
