GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, May '2I.-The stock marke'
was again very sctive and feverish to-day with
q general downward tendency, though not until
the last few minutes of business. when a deter
mined raid was made upon the few vulnerable
noints in the list was any material impression
made on values. Among the different influences
which had bearing upon the course of prices
was the threatening letter of President Marvel
of the Atchison TO Mr.. Gould published this
morning. 1t had the effect OF fright
ening many weak holders, who feared
that the letter will be the
signal for o more extended struggle than those
now in course. Reports Of further cuts on rates
in the West also had some effect in causing
realizations. The market closed very active
and decidedly weak at lower points. The list
is almost all lower tonight, and Atchison ir
down 27sc, Sugar. 2kcj Colorado coal. nc,
Reading and Columbus, Chicago, Cleveland and
st. Louis. 13sc each, and Wheeling and Lake
Eric preferred and Mexican Central each NC,
