GOVERNMENTS STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, May S.-The stock market
was sill a hesitating one, the two princi-
pal influences upon it pulling in opposite
directions, and while there was consider
able disposition to buy stocks on progress
made at tire railroad meeting yesterday,
gold exports with its consequent hardening
OF money rates encouraged short selling as
well rs realizations. The course of prices
therefore was feverish and unsettled
throughout the day, while in the absence of
pressure TO sell, there was not any inclina
tion to return to dizziness.
The market closed active and weak at
the lowest prices of the day. Final changes
of note include losses as follows:
Missouri Pacific, u; Rock Island and
Reading. IL, and Union Pacific and North
enPacitic each. per cent.
Railroad bonds more active, lower.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.
