WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Thursday, May 7-p. IN.
The natural effects of the continued exports of
gold were felt by the stock market for the hrst
time to-day The opening was strong, although
it was known that the Bank of England had
raised its discount rate. There was even an ap-
pearance Of arbitrage buying. Rates for foreign
exchange were lowered in accommodation with
the changes in interest, and the reduction was
nounced upon as the ending of the gold exports.
The professional element in Wall Street had De-
come thoroughly convinced apparently when the
first engagement of 100000 was announced
The market shuddered for minute, but recovered
nm the theory that the shipments were not justi-
fed by the rates for exchange, and on the news
from the railroad meeting that the freight traffic
manager of the Missouri Pacific Railway was TO
be offered a sacrifice the altar OF railway har-
mony The conference achieved something more
than this for it was sOlemnly voted to extend the
association for five years, and the question OF
abolishing separate agencies was referred TO the
commissioners. If the Advisory Board can meet
only when and where the Missouri Pacific
Railway finds it convenient to be repre-
sented, the decisions on interesting points might
as well be left with the executive officers OF that
company. Cynical persons in Wall Street were
inclined TO think that the subordinate 0fllcer
who was found guilty OF violating the rules OF
the association might enjoy a vacation IN Europe
without injury to his health or purse
The action of the Bank of England probably in
dicated the seriousness of the European situation
II was holiday on the Continent and therefore
tie full force of the apparent quarrel between
Russia and the Rothschilds was not felt. The
rally in the price of English consos may, have
been due TO the holiday or to reassuring advlces
There can be no doubt, however, that if Russia
should recall its deposits with other countries,
which were made in anticipation OF its new loan,
further drafts on the gold supply of the United
States would be made The engagements for
Saturdays steamers amounted to $500, 600, and
further shipments were considered probable, al
though they may not be large. The stock market
closed weak, in view Of this contingency, and
ali the active stocks closed at about their lowest
points, with an average loss Of per cent. ST.
PAUL Atchison and the Western railroad shares
were the weakest as well as the most active
stocks but the movement was fairly uniform, and
those which do not enjoy an international market
were not less weak than the favorites Of London
