WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Tuesday, May Up. m.
The depressing influence in the stock market
to-day was feeble continuation of gold exports.
The foreign situation is certainly not pleasant
one, ard the suspension of payments in Portugal.
the semi panic at Paris and the uncertainty at
Berlin seemed TO be sufficient excuses for free
sales of American securities. If declines of less
than . per cent measure the effects of a general
European disturbance. the United States must be
congratulated in the warmest tones. When 1t
is fully understood that large part of the bust
ness in American railway shares at the London
Stock Exchange is done on orders from New
York. rumors of European disasters will be eSti.
mated at their full worth. The activity in St.
Paul may not easily be explained. either on the
theory of perfect harmony between the Western
RAILROADS or of attempted change in ownership.
The stock was conspicuous by its strength yeSter.
day. and it lost the improvement to-day. 1t
was not only the most active stock but the
Transactions m 1t were nearly third of the total
business in the regular department of the Stock
Exchange. The suspicion that it was being used
as support was proved to be unfounded by the
course Of prices to-day
The outward movement of gold was so uncer-
tain that speculative considerations could hardly
be overlooked On this account the shipments
were much less than should have been expected
while they were larger than the rates of exchange
seemed TO justify. The developments In Europe
are In favor of further Withdrawals of the stand
ard metal, while the apparent cessation in the
demand indicates an understanding between
Russia and its bankers The suggestion Of
European war is accepted with reluctance, al
though there is no doubt that for little while
a war would be great advantage to this country
IN THE BOND MARKET
The Government bond market was not affected
by the sale Of an odd lot Of stamped registered
doubtful II registered bonds can be sold within
narrower limits The currency issues were weak
without transactions. The last quotations were :

Among State bonds Alabama, class B, were

There were no sales of city bank stocks.
There was little demand for railway bonds,
and i'll fact the transactions would have been
larger only if greater declines could have been
permitted. The fall of about per cent In Iron

The principal changes were declines, but the
market closed dull Reference is made 20 our

Money call at the Stock Exchange ruled at

that after the wants of belated borrowers had
been satisfied the rate fell to 3 per cent or any
other price that could be obtained
The Clearing House statement was as follows ::
Exchanges, S161 ,294,S42; balances, S5,155923.
The Sub Treasury was debtor at the Clearing

The United States Treasury at Washington re-
ceived to-day S246,e15 National bank notes for
