New YORK, May 2S.-Some 1400 pounds of

official, and go to Washington for the use of
the House Naval Committee. They are said to

Reduction i'm Rates.
The New York Central & Hudson River Rail-
road will reduce their passenger rates tomorrow
to the following figures: New York and Chica-
go, from $25 to $17; New York and Cincin-
natl SIS; New York and indianapolis SIG; New
York and st. Louis $22; New York and Louis
vile $19; New York and Detroit $13 1t is un-
derstood the rate to Boston via Albany is one
dollar more than the above rates. The alleged
reason for the reduction is the rival lines out of
Boston have been running first class passen-
gers on emigrant tickets to the detriment of
Boston and Albany travel. A similar reduc-
ton has been ordered by the Pacific road.
The Erie company has made still further
reduction in passenger fares to the West, to
take effect tomorrow. The new rates being in
each case one dollar less than those announced
by other roads, viz: Chicago SIG, Cincinnati
$l4, indianapolis $15, st. Louis $21, Louisville
$18, Detroit $12, Cleveland Sill. Rates to Buff
falo and Niagara Falls are also reduced to So.

New York STOCK and Money Market.


NEW YORK, May 27.--The warlike aspect Of for
eign advices this morning advanced the gold pre-
MUM to 113. rise Of per cent. over last nights
price, The news had no effect upon the stock mark
ct of depressing nature and the general list of secu
rites was strong and in some cases higher.
According to the first London tele5ram received
there was decline in British funds of about per
cent, but later there was recovery of per cent
The greatest decline was in 1910 bonds, which fell
altogether per cent. in the British market, and
in new 5s, which fell per cent. afterwards reacting
per cent The American 5-20s of 1865 and 1867 did
not share in the decline and reported steady at
On the first call Michigan Central was strong and
advanced to Al upon the reported appointment of
Mr.. Sloan to succeed JOY as president of the road.
Orton has resigned his position as president of the
Western Union Company. and 1t is thought A. b.
Cornell, first vice president, will succeed to the pres
idency.
Fries were heavy upon fall of per cent. abroad
At noon the stock market dali and steady. Gold
was quoted at 113. The market for Government
bonds was generally steady; where change there was
slight decline. The Chicago markets were tele-
graphed about &c lower for wheat at 1914 tor June
delivery, and 1913 for July. Corn was weak at 435
for June and 44s for July delivery.
The city banks weekly statement is again favora-
bic showing. The reserves have increased $685., 800
and the amount of funds now in vault is in excess of
legal requirements to the extent of 81, 4l4,225,
The stock market was weak and heavy this after
noon, being considerably affected by sensational des
patches from Europe in regard to the depression
arising from the disturbed political affairs The Lon
don Globe not the very best authority, is reported
ish Stock Exchange but little better than in
state of panic and that the Rohschilds have recent
ly sold consols to the extent Of million pounds
sterling
There were also rumors current in Wall street
again that Commodore Vanderbilt was much worse
but this report was denied. Lake Shore fell to ST.
Western Union fell to 65a, Michigan Central sold
down to 49, st Paul sold at 1863 and Northwestern at
&c.,
After the second call there was a slight improve
ment and the general list became shade irmer but
business was dull and transactions were light. Gold
advanced to 1874.
