REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
; (Continued from Seventh Page.)
under considerable pressure, but showed
good resistance.
Union Pacific preferred was depressed
all day and closed over 2 points lower,
New York Central fell at one time over
2 points, but rallied 1% in the final deal
ings.
-The local traction stocks were sufferers
after the opening, the extreme decline in
Metropolitan Street Railway reaching
nearly 6 points. The Grangers also fig
ured largely In the selling, A large part
of this selling was known to be from
YY'ashington account and Inquiry was very
keen fer news to account for It. Signifi
cant news was scarce and In Its absence
numerous rumors were set afloat, one lo
the effect that purchases of warships
abroad had been made by the United
States government. The renewed depres
sion in Spanish securities abroad and the
news of the purchase in England of two
warships by the Spanish government help
ed on the feeling of uneasiness over the
Cuban question.
London operations in this market were
Insignificant, ihe tightness of money in
London having apparently put a stop to
speculative activity here. Notwithstand
ing the hardness of London money rate
and the tendency to relaxation in the lo
cal requirements, foreign exchange went
lower again to-day, demand sterling fall
ing to $4.8414. Nearly all the $2,800,000 In
gold, which will start for New York to
morrow comes from Paris, and no small
part of It is said to represent the French
payment for American securities bought
in London during the recent disturbances
In Paris. The weakness in exchange is
due to the continued pressure of grain
bills sold against the shipments of Chicago
wheat pool.
The bond market was listless and
heavy to-day, in sympathy with stocks.
Total sales amounted to $2,625,000. United
States new 4s and the old 4s, coupon, were
% lower bid to-day.
Total sales of stocks were 301,500 shares.
