New York. Nov. 1.-THE Wall street
markets to-day were dominated by the
continued circulation of rumors in regard
to prospective differences with Spain over
the Cuban question. The street was
flooded with these rumors, but there was
nothing from an authoritative source to
bear them out. Nevertheless, they mad
the effect of depressing the share list and
on all stocks that were pressed for sale,
and there was also more or less selling
for short account. The fact that the for
| eigners sold st. Paul, Louisville and Nash
vile and other International stocks also
exerted an unfaVorable influence. The
further reaction in wheat tended in the
same direction, and in the case or ST.
Paul the decline was accelerated by the
belief that the report of the company Ter
the second week of the current month will
show a material falling off on account of
the light movement Of wheat. The vol
ume of business was smaller than of late,
and this is regarded as an indication that
the prevailing disposition is to limit oper-
ations on the bear side of the account.
The decline in the general list was equal
to 1kd22s per cent, with Tobacco in the
lead This stock sold down from 1874 to
76lk, ex-dividend, and the preferred ran
from 1O2 to 101. Sugar yielded rs per
cent. and brokers identified with the lower
Wall street interest were the principal
sellers. The Changers, Louisville and
| Nashville Western Union, Reading and
American Spirits were consecutively weak.
Pacific Mail advanced from rs to 2Sh on
the talk of the declaration of dividend
of per cent. on Wednesday next. Man
haitian after rising to 1904, dropped to
9S%, while United States Cordage guar
anteed broke to 25ls and Bay State Gas
from 14% to 1918 A number Of stocks
which forged to the front during the
boom following the election were pracii-
cally neglected. Speculation closed bare
ly steady in tone at a recovery of B4H
per cent from the lowest. Net changes
show losses of anywhere from u to Ia
per cent. Rock Island leading. Pacific
Mail was an exception. and closed point
higher than on Saturday. Bonds were
quiet and weak to-day. The sales footed
up $1,729,OOO
