,ecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, May 22-The publication Of
the government crop report, showing the
damages sustained from the recent frosts
throughout the agricultural districts, and
the temporary cessation of London buying
encouraged a feeling Of pessimism among
the trading element this morning, which
was subsequently reflected in depressed
values. There were but few stocks press
ing for sale. however. the lower range Of
values being rather the result of dis
inclination to buy during the continuance
of the frost scare.
The market for foreign exchange con-
tinues to reflect the result of sales OF
stocks by European holders to take prof
its. rates today being noticeably firm at
fractional advances over those prevailing
yesterday. The volume of business was
small and bankers predict lower rates as
soon as London's settlements give evidence
Of proceeding satisfactorily. In almost
every instance in which lower prices were
recorded short selling was the responsible
agent, as the professional element was
practically unaided In its efforts to force
Distillers was an exception in this par
ticular, however. as the decline of IA per
cent in the price of that stock was due to
the marketing of a large block of long
stock in anticipation of complications grow
ing out of the reorganization of the prop
erty.
Sugar sold up to ll9 o-S on early pur-
chases, but subsequently yielded sharply for
a decline of per cent This decline was
occas.oned by the report that Canadian re-
fineres were shipping an excellent grade or
sugar into this country at prices consider
ably under those quoted by the American
company.
This Is the first indication of the probable
effect of the new Canadian tariff law on
the American refiner. but it is not likely
that prices will be allowed to remain at a
point calculated to encourage important
shipments in the future.
Traders were free sellers of the Stock as
were also brokers, frequently used by In
side interests, but it is quite probable that
conditions have been exaggerated in the
interest of lower prices for the stock.
In the railroad list the grangers were
the features, the advance in wheat being
construed to be an argument against inn
provement in the market value OF stocks
depending largely upon grain transporta-
ton for their revenues. Northern Pacific
preferred was again literally sold by trad
ers in anticipation of heavy stock assess
ments, losing IA per cent from opening
figures in consequence Manhattan de clin-
ed 3-S per cent on fair volume Of busi-
ness and smaller declines were reflected
in the less active securities.
The trading of the last hour was some
what irregular. further sales Of sugar
down to the lowest point Of the day being
the feature during this period. The reg
ular list held well on small dealings, and
will be Influenced largely during the bal
ance of the week by the attitude Of Lon
den.

FOREIGN MAILS.
Ample Appropriations and q Full
Service Expected.

Ample Appropriations and q Full
Service Expected.
The following statement was given out
this morning by Second Assistant Post
master General Nelson: 1.-The proof that
there is no truth in a story which has been
published that there will be only one trip
a week with foreign mails after the 18th
Of October next IS clearly demonstrated by
the figures of the last appropriations for the
foreign mail service. There was s1,600,OO0
appropriated by congress for this service
and there WAS reduction Of $751;, 900 in the
expenses formerly incurred by the old con-
tract with the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany. The expense of thirty-eight trips be-
ginning October 12 and ending June 80. 1896
with the Interpa tional Navigation Company
will be S552 1851. These figures prove that
the reduction in the Pacific mail expenses
compensates for the. increase caused by the
service of the ,Interna toni Navigation Com
pany., The 81 64O.0OO for a total, therefore.
covers the entire expense Just as 1t has done
in previous years. These are the facts and
further comments on them are unneces-
sary." -. =
Referring to the question Of statute and
marine miles, Gen. Nelson said the ques-
ton had been decided by the Attorney
General, and being thus settled by the prop
er authorities was not a question for fur
Their discussion.
