New York, May 18.-During early dear
ings at the stock exchange the market arr get
ruled weak. The engagement of $1,10o,9OO
gold for shipment to Europe, all with
drawn from the sub-treasury, and the sell
ing for foreign account, estimated at fully
10000 shares, due to the lack of positive
knowledge of the position on the cur

candidate for presidency, depressed prices.
The loss in the International issues was
about a point in Louisville and Nashville.

make a little bullish sentiment. In the
afternoon rally Manhattan, Sugar, To-
bacco Chicago Gas and Consolidated Gas
were prominent: Consolidated Gas first
declined from 155 TO l54A and later rose
to 156 The decline in the stock was
due to a report of the Incorporation OF
a new concern called the New York Fuel
and Light Company. In the late trading
the market, while dun, was firm, the
shorts being the most prominent buyers
up to the close. Speculation left off firm,
