GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Opening prices
this morning were fractionally lower, in
sympathy with similar concessions in the
London market and were not significantly
changed by subsequent trading. The vol
ume Of business is unimportant and as has
been demonstrated, lends but little assist
ance to the support Of values. General
conditions have not changed from yester-
day except that the street is disposed to
attach but small Importance to political
rumors. and has settled down to the con-
viction that nothing definite can be learned
On the currency question In advance of the
convention.
The engagement of $1,000 gold for ex-
port by tomorrow's steamers would have
attracted but passing notice except for the
fact that the amount was only restricted
because the outflow to Germany was post
poned until next week. The exchange
market rules steady under small offerings
OF bills. the security drawings continuing
In meager volume. The purchase OF f13,0O0
United States gold by the Bank Of England
was announced during the morning.
The decision against the corstitutionality
OF the rapid transit BILL handed down to-
day. resulted In a sudden covering Of short
stock had been well sustain ed throughout
the morning. but the increa ed demand fol-
lowing the decision resulted in a two per
cent advance during the quarter of an
hour following the announcement. The
surface roads and their Leasing of indepeu-
dent lines have been directly responsible
Tor the recent liquidation in Manhattan
and today's decision affords no relief from
embarrassments of this character
All things considered, 1t is more than
probable that the bulk OF the new trading
attracted by the decision will go to the
short account With the exception Of the
movement In this property the railway
bacco were active at substantial advances
more or less manipulative. The former
property was advanced 1h per cent under

days trading. The new German sugar
bounty Is now construed as of absolutely
no Importance to the American company,

The position Of the American company is
such as to guarantee its ability to make
the most or any adverse trade situation
ana consequently no alarm attaches, at
the moment, to either the manipulative or
sentimental movements in the price of the

market Is. OF course, a strong argument
against any sustained advance, but invest

Mr.. DANIELS DECLARATION
viii Hss Support Cleveland if 10 is Re.
nominated 1t Chicago
He II Opposed - . Third Term On
Principle-Backed by Pre-
cedents.

Senator Daniel OF Virginia has stated to
a friend that If Mr.. Cleveland Is renomi-
mated he will not support him. The decla-
ration was unequivocal The subject under
discussion was the third term.
The First Positive Declaration.
No other democratic leader has so dis
tinctly challenged the proposition to violate
the unwritten law in Mr.. Cleveland's be-
half. In all the talk about bolts and splits
at Chicago tho financial question is upper
most. A number Of democrats have pre-
dicted heavy losses to the party If silver
should control the convention, and az many
more have predicted such a result If gold
should control. There have been leaders
to say, too, that Mr.. Cleveland. II nomi-
rated at Chicago. would be overwhelmingly
defeated. But MIR. Daniel Is the first demo-
crat of national reputation and influence
to make the third term proposition stand
on Its own bottom. ard to announce his un-
alterable opposition to 1t.
Opposes OLA Principle.
Mr.. Daniel is free silver man, and will
probably head his states delegation to Chi
cago He does not threaten to bolt If gold
wins. His disappointment in that event
would be keen, but the belief Is that with
a good man at the head Of the ticket he
would return home and loyalty support it.
But he is against a third term on principle
and he would not follow his party in any
effort to violate that principle.
Precedents for His Belief.
How far this feeling extends in demo-
cratic circles In Virginia Is a question
The belief is that 1t is very strong through
out the state. Virginia. 1t is suggested, is
the proper home for such sentiment. The
men who by word or example, or by both.
prepared the unwritten law against a
third term were all her sons-W ashington
JEFFERSON, Madison and Monroe. Each had
two terms. but neither could have been
induced to accept third. Mr.. Daniel,
therefore, and those Of his constituents
who hold with him are but cfampioning
Virginias history in this matter.
Possible Opportunity for Cleveland.
Those who insist that Mr.. Cleveland does
not desire third term excuse his silence
on the score that he has not as yet had
suitable opportunity to speak. VIII the
Virginia state convention, which is soon
to meet, give him this opportunity? Some
of the politicians hope to see the occa-
sion so 1mproved-hope to see a resolution
introduced reciting the situation in re-
spectful terms. calling attention to the
Importance of preserving so momentous a
precedent. and then see rousing majority
obtained for 1T. Then Mr.. Cleveland could
reply. by letter or authorized statement,
and the public would no longer be in any
doubt on the point
