NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. May 4.-The stock market again
exhibited the reactionary temper to-day which
was prominent at times during last week, and
while there was no great activity outside OF ST.
Paul, the Changers generally scored important
losses for the day. The trading element, which
has fought for a reaction for long time, to-day
had the cooperation Of both London and the
West In selling the list, while there was also
some help accorded them from local operators,
who now begin to fear tho money question a.
factor in the making Of values again. The prin-
cipal buyers, however, we're stIll the commission
houses with good connections, and outside Of the
specialtles Of the interests named the movement
downward was of Insignificant proportions.
THE FEATURES.
The features Of the trading In the market to-
day were the weakness In the Changers, es-
pecially Burlington and Rock Island, and the
strength ia the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and st. Louis, although the last-named lasted
only a short time and was on purchases by a few
brokers. Silver certificates were comparatively
neglected except during the flrst hour, when
large transactions we're made nc close TO 100,
but the same rumors Of supposed large order
for shipments abroad were circulated. The sell
ing Of the Changers was persistent during the
creator portion OF tho day, but ST. Paul was
withheld even though tho trading I'm II was very
large. The pressure OF short stocks was specially
heavy in ~. Paul. Missouri fac1hc, Union racine,
and Rock Island.
THE OPENING HEAVY.
The opening was heavy and the downward
movement was uninterrupted from that time
until well into the afternoon, when prices were
down from a to IN per cent, but toward the
close there was an improvement, the market
rallied, and the tnEl figures were considerably
better than the lowest Of the day. Besides
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, the
Wheeling and Lake Eric stocks were prominent
for strength, especially In tho forenoon, when
they advanced In the face OF the weakness In tho
rest Of the list, the strength being principally
due 10 tho IA 4 that the increase In the earnings
for April was the largest in the history OF the
company
THE CLOSE DULL.
Tho close was dull but firm st tho improve
ment, but while Wheeling and Lake Erie Is up l
per cent being almost alone In showing material
gain, the rest of the list were fractionally lower,
while Louisville and Nashville lost las aud Bur
lingtOn per cent. Sales Of listed stocks 24S,OO
shares: Of unlisted. 10000.

The Chicago Cigar-Makers' Strike.

CHICAGO. May 4.-The plan heretofore ar
ranged by the union cgar-makers OF the
city for the strike to-day to enforce their
demand for an advance in wages was car
RED out. The hands IN each shop made
the demand this morning. If it was grant
ed the workmen 30 reported at strike
headquarters and at once returned to work.
There are about LOO union cigar-makets
in the city, and of these II is estimated that
from 500 to 1000 are idle. Many OF the
smaller employers have conceded the adj
vance asked, but the larger factories have
not given in and some of them have shut
down entirely. The strikers are backed by
the international Cigar Makers Union.
