NEW YORK, May II.
| FINANCIAL.
At the morning board Stock Exchange,
stocks lower throughout the list. The par
tial stringency in money has given the
speculative feeling of the market sharp
check, and the bears have made the most of
it at the board.
The railroad list opened with 5000 shares
of Erie thrown upon the market, and de-
clined throughout the day, though the fall
was not very great.
The stock market has, at present, very
little interest beyond the fight between the
two classes of spectators outside; the
public showing comparatively little interest
! in railroad securities.
The Government list is unfsvorably sf-
fscted by the European advices, and there
was decline of 3@4 on 2o', and per
cent. on lO-4Os,
Miscellaneous and Government shares
are scarce on account of the general depres-
sion, snd are lower.
Railway mortgages and Bank shares are
quiet but firm.
State Bonds are steady but active.
The Gold Room had very excited ses-
sion on the subject of calling government
securities. 1t was decided TO have three
calls each day. Very little business wss
done in gold and there was no excitement.
Money abundant and easy.
PETROLEUM.
Petroleum stocks with few exceptions,
are low. Pittsburgh Hale Greek 1875; Bu-
cbanan 100; Empire City 25Oi Germa-

Petroleum quiet and a shade lower;
crude 80; refined in bond 5o@5l; free
7O@7l.
Reports from Oil Greek ssy there has
been considerable activity in crude durir 6
the past four days. Heavy sales have been
made at So OO@8 20 per barrel.
The Express says the opening of the
Southern country to trade will eventually
create an active demand for oil, and trade
in the future looEs much brighter than it
did short time since. The South is not
SO well supplied with gas facilities as the
North and the consumption of Petroleum
will 40 doubt be very large.
PRODUCE.
At the Produce Exchange the market
was generally dull, with downward ten
dency.
There are no new features TO notice in
dry goods. Trade is less active than last
week. Domestic goods keep up, owing to
the small supply on hand.
