CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
STOCKS

Friday April lS-p. m.
The shipments Of gold were far beyond eX
pectauons. but in wa the stock market paid
no attention to them. II urged with the
utmost propriety that the shipments were season.
able even If the trade balance was in favor OF this
country. The amount was about 100000. OF
which $500 900 from Boston by firm whose
connections deprive the shipment OF particular
significance. or the shipments Of nearly $1,000
900 about three-fourths went 10 Paris where
money was higher for special reasons, and the
balance TO London. This may not be the be-
ginning of a serious outflow, but in the circum-
stances II is not favorable feature. IL indicates
either further withdrawal OF European capital
or n selling OF securities which had not been
anticipated. 1t has been the popular peHef taat
for some weeks Europe was buyer rather man
a seller of American securities. and the heavy
exports of gold distinctly contradict 1t. II must
be clear 10 the dullest comprehension that
large part of the recent buying for foreign ac-
count was merely on orders from New-York
Apart from purely speculative operations the
current seems 10 have been steadily toward this

scheme OF reorganization. by which an assess
ment may be avoided, was the occasion for the
advance, and the committee which undertakes
the task Is a strong one. The most active Stock
was American Sugar Refining. which rose neary
3 per cent, and closed at its top price. II the
movement in this stock was not an attack on
the short interest II must be considered strong
circumstantial evidence that proposed reforms Of
the tariff cannot be made a; the present session
Of Congress. The conclusion is probably JUST
one and. in fact. Congress could do nothing BEL
ter than adjourn without delay. The two stocks
mentioned furnished considerably more than
third Of the total business. and they were the
only ones which were at all prominent. Other.
wise fluctuations were narrow and final changes
divided. but the closing was not weak.
