NEW YORK MARKETS.
Financial.

NEW YORK, N. Y. June 17.-After = firm
opening the stock market weakened slightly, the
leading issues running of as much as a point in
some instances. The reaction again the re-
suit of profit taking. London and commission
houses being rather prominent sellers. The en-
gagement of 100000 gold shipment to Europe
seemed to dampen he ardor of the small bulls at
this time notwithstanding explanation which
followed the announcement of the shipment that
the transaction simply represented the closing up
of an old order and had no reference TO political
conditions.
The offerings of stocks by London and local
commission houses were quickly absorbed, how
ever. and the market soon resum ed its upward
course and prices advanced moderately all along
the line. The hrmness prevailed until well into
the afternoon. when it reported from ST. Louis
that the platform will be very EN- phatic in espous-
convention would demand armed Intervention by
the United States. This naturally caused uneasi-
ness and some selling resulted
The adjournment OF the convention until
O'Clock was also unfavorably construed in some
quarters. When il was learned that the reports of
the adoption of the platform, including the Cuban
plank, were premature the market rallied, and in
the final hour of business the market was strong
the feeling was quite confident again. The decla-
ration of the usual dividends by the Vanderbilt
roads and the statements submitted mad stimu-
lating influence but the st. Louis convention COM
pieteiy overshadowed all other developments of
