MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall street Review.

New York, May lS.-During the early
dealings at the Stock Exchange the
market ruled weak. The engagement
of 81, 100, 600 gold for shipment to E,u-
rope, all withdrawn from the sub-treas-
ury, and the selling for foreign account.
estimated at fully 10000 shares. due to
the lack of positive knowledge of the
people on the currency question of the
leading candidate for the Republican
nomination for the presidency having
depressed prices. The loss in the inter-
national issues was about point In
Louisville and Nashville. London sold
nearly 10000 shares of Louisville ana
Nashville and st. Paul and local ira
ders sold Manhattan and Sugar with
more effect than usual. Manhattan
broke per cent. to 1904. the quarterly
statement still eXerting an unfavorable
influence. The talk of a reduction in
dividends on account OF cable cOmpeti-
tion, however. did not receive general
credence. Sugar weakened on the re-
duction of u cent in refined and on ru
mors of unfavorable developments in
Cuban affairs. A firm with Washing
ton connection was the most Cunspicu-
GUS seller of the stock. which fell from
122ss to 12las. In the afternoon trading
the market displayed more resistance
and there was accordingly u disposi-
tion to cover short contracts. Reports
were current that congress would ad-
journ early in the coming month, and
this, with the comparatively small en-
gagements of gold for tomorrow's t,u-
ropean steamers, helped to make lit
tie bullish sentiment. In the afternoon
rally Manhattan. Sugar, Tobacco, Chi
cago Gas and Consolidated Gas were
prominent. Consolidated Gas first de
clined from l55 to l53A, and later rose
to 156. The decline in the stock was
due to report of the incorporation of a
new concern called the New York Fuel
and Light company. In the late trad
ing the market, while dun, was firm. the
, shorts being the most prominent buyers
up to the close. Speculation left off
firm, with prices anywhere from X to q
per cent higher on the day. Sugar lost
q per cent. and Manhattan q per cent.

counts for the weakness of sugar GER
