NEW YORK MARKETS.

Wall street was dull and uninteresting. Trading
practically at standstill except perhaps
tobacco distiling and cattle feeding and New Eng
land. The dulIness of the speculative markets is
only natural this time. Cron crop is still mat
ter OF doubt although good judges assert that the
danger line will be passed within the next week or
ten days. Again the gold exports giving opera
tors some concern. To-day an OF day in the
exchange market and little was heard about gold
shipments. Nevertheless the impression is that
Saturdays European steamers will take out fairly
large amounts. some bankers estimating the ex-
ports on that day at $2,00O00O.
The predictions Of frost in the corn. belt also
checked trading to large extent. New England
was the only feature Of the market and sales Of
1900 shares the stock went up from 5Sac TO 661aC,
closing at 621bc bid and &c asked The rise in
the stock is attributed to purchases by brokers
identified with the New Haven interests and TO
reports that the minority OF stockholders will be
changing hands. The stock fell from 81 0912 to
81 0S1s. The formation of opposition
company in the West accounts for the decline in
the stock.
Disiling and Cattle Feeding started off first but
soon declined point and closed 12 per cent lower
on the day. The changes in this speciality were
due entirely TO the operations of the room traders
The railway ana anthracite coal shares not pre-
viously mentioned moved within narrow limits.

hour and sold OF point TO and closed at 1912.
The market closed quiet ana steady. Net changes
show gains OF 1s to IS per cent, except for New
England, which advanced points for the day.
