NESS CENTRES OF THE WORLD.
Prices OF Money, Bonds. Stocks,
Grain. Tobacco, Cotton, Cattle,
and Domestic.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Speculatlon at
the Stock Exchange continues quiet, the
transactions to-day amounting to only
1S7, 765 shares of stock, and $4,000 railroad
and miscellaneous bonds. At the opening
the market for stocks was weak and
lower, London having turned up as a
seller. 1t is estimated that the. foreign
ers parted with nearly 1000 shares Of St
Paul, Louisville and Nashville, and other
issues with an international market The
change OF front on the part OF the foreign
ers was due to the Egyptian and Trans
yaal complications. Local operators were
also disposed TO sell moderately, on ru-
mors that there will be exports OF gold
next week. The premium for gold was
again advanced. Shipments OF the metal
will be prevented.
The early decline ranged from IA to l
per cent. Sugar, the Changers, Louisville
and Nashville, Chicago Gas, Leather pre-
ferreO, Manhattan, and Pacific Mail
scoring the greatest losses.
In the afternoon trading Tobacco was
the feature, and It rose from So IL to 81 II
on vague rumors that the company will
resume the payment OF dividends next
week. and that the difficulties with the
outside concerns have been adjusted. Bal
tlmore and Ohio also met with better sup
port, and rose 10 Is rs.
Speculation closed firm. Net changes
were merely fractional except for Louis
Vile and Nashville. which declined rs.
and Baltimore and Ohio and Tobacco,
which gained 3-SQ3-s. respectively.
