republican nomination for the presi- dency having depressed prices, The loss in the international issues was about 8 point in Louisville and Nash Vile. London sold nearly ten thousand shares of Louisville and Nashville and St, Paul and local traders sold Manhat- tan and Sugar with more effect than usual, Manhattan broke 9 per cent, to 100A, the quarterly statement still eN- erting an unfavorable influence.
 The talk of reduction in dividends on account of cable competition, how ever, did not receive general oredence. Sugar weakened on the reduction of bc in refined, and on rumors of unfayora- ble developments in Cuban affairs. A firm with Washington connections was the most conspicuous seller of the stock, which fell from 122Ss to 121%
 In the afternoon trading the market displayed more resistance and there was accordingly a disposition to cover short contracts. Reports were current that congress would adjourn early in the coming month and this with com paratively small engagements of gold for to-morrow's European steamers, helped to make @ little bullish senti- ment. In the afternoon rally Manhat- tan, Sugar, Tobacco, Chicago Gas and Consolidated Gas first declined from 155 to 153A and later rose to 156. The dev cline in the stock was due to a report of the incorporation of g. new concern called the New York Fuel and Light company. In the late trading the mar ket while dull was firm, the shorts be- ing the most prominent buyers up to the close.
 Speculation left off firm with prices from 14 to A per cent. higher on the day. Sugar lost B per cent. and Man haitian % per cent The reduction in the price of refined accounts for the weakness of Sugar certificates.
 Bonds were higher to-day. Sales were $944,0O0.
