New York, April 2S.-The revival of the
Venezuelan war scare in London was
promptly reflected in a decline at the
local stock exchange of anywhere from
a to " per cent in prices. In the decline
Sugar and the internationals were most
conspicuous. The selling for foreign ac-

decline. AS result of this buying, the
Changers, Missouri Pacific Michigan Cen

was inaugurated. In the last hour of
business Tobacco suddenly broke TO $685.
Early in the day the stock brought 7412.

unusually active and strong. The trans
actions footed up s., $4,000.
