The stock ExCnange.
New York, March 2.-The share speech
lation today was active and the movement
OF prices Irregular. Sugar reached the
largest total OF any individual stock, and
a large volume of business was done in
Tobacco. but as a class the dealings in the
railroad stocks exceeded those in the In
dustrials by a considerable amount. n
marked depression In prices was noted at
the opening. Western Union was de-
pressed an extreme 1As per cent. on the
theory that the bankruptcy of the Balti-
more & Ohio would result in throwing that
stock upon the market. On the strength
of denials OF the probability of such con-
tingency a rally Of per cent. from the
lowest was made. The general list suf-
fered to the extent of azal1a per cent, the
international shares, Changers and Sugar
being most prominent. The reactionary
movement was soon checked, and large
part OF the loss was recovered. The mar
ket then again reacted, on renewed firm
ness In the sterling exchange market.
revival OF strength was noted toward mid
day. on foreign and local buying and COW
ering by shorts. The improvements were
most important in the high-priced In
dustrials. the Changers, Louisville &
Nashville and few OF the specialties. The
general market proved superior 10 the
weakness In Tobacco, but developed weak
ness In the final hour, and sold of on
liquidation Influenced by the anticipation
OF prompt action by the house on the
Cuban belligerency resolutions. Specula-
ton left of weak in tone. although tho
final prices as a rule showed but slight
declines as compared with last weeks
closing figures. Railway bonds were mod
erately active, with wide fluctuations in a
few issues. The Northern Pacifics were
exceptionally strong and active. and good
support was evident in AtchiSon issues.
Government bonds displayed decidedly
increased activity at the expense Of values
The declines. however. were not material.
