NEW YORK MARKETS.
rnF srncK ExcnANaF.

New YORK, July THE week closes on
the stock exchange with a heavy tone to
the speculation, solely result of the con-
tinuancs and the threatening character
OF the railway strike. Ii was not until to-
day that Wall street took serious alarm at
the condition Of affairs in the Western
railway world. Ii has come to this: That
the influence of the strikers is all-absorb-
ing in the stock market, and the immedi-
ate future of speculative values depends
almost entirely upon the course of the
railway workers, and 1t 10 not one-share
values that are affected. The sterling ex-
change market developed a hardening
tendency today by reason of the growth
of the belief that il the situation does not
improve, American securities will be re-
turned by foreign holders in such amounts
as to cause heavy demand for sterling
bills, which would consequently command
higher rates. The entire financial posi-
ton is therefore clouded. and no week of
this year has closed with less OF light TO
SEQ into the near future Of the stock mar
ket than does this one.
The course of values today for these rea-
sons alone, was downward; prices with
scarce an exception declining steadily from

entire list. declining ? per cent. Lead

OF speculation AZ the close was decidedly
heavy, and the market closed with down
ward tendency in prices. The railway

dull. and went in sympathy with its share
speculation.
