NEW YORK, y. Y, Dec 19.-The feature ot
trading at the Stock Exchange to-day was the
heavy liquidations for foreign account. London
cables received here before the opening showed
material declines in our stocks, and this was fol-
lowed by selling orders of large proportions in
Louisville and Nashville, ST. Paul and other
American shares listed abroad This foreign sell.
ing led 10 sales by local operators and the result
was drop Of anywhere from 12 10 5$4 per cent in
prices RumoTs OF heavy gold exports by Satur.
days European steamers were put af1oat and this
added to the depression.
1t said st one time that the exports on the
day named would reach ten millions, but this is an
exaggeration and good authorities do not look for
shipments Of anything like the amount stated. Up
TO the close of business only S500,000 had been
engaged. II Is known, however, that arrange
ments are making for the export of about T. 0OO,-
900 Of the metal and that this will be announced
tomorrow. In the break OF prices which follow ed
the early London selling Consolidated Gas Cleve-
land, Iorain and Wheeling preferred, Pullman
Palace, Jersey Central, Baltimore and Ohio and
the Southwesterns were most conspicuous,
The Vanderbilts were also lower. notwithstand-
ing the declaration OF the usual dividends on New
4ork central, Lake Shore, Michigan Central and
Canada Southern. In the afternoon steady tone
characterized the market, the delay in the Senate
on the matter OF the Venezuelan commission hay
ing been favorably interpreted. London houses
changed front and bought little stock, and this
had stimulating effect on prices, which recovered
and late in the day rose to per cent.
The advance, however, had no influence on
stocks, which left OF steady to firm In tone. Net
changes show losses of IA to 2ss per cent in the
active railways. and l to per cent in the spe-
cialties. Total sales were 399,37s shares, nclud-
ing 400 st. Paul, Al, 500 Sugar and 81 400 Bur
lington and Quincy. The bond market was heavy
in sympathy with the weakness of stocks. The
sales footed up S2,l41000. Atchison general fours
