ST, Louls, June 1.-THE total NUM-

to when the ruins shall have been un-

The Post-Dispatch prints state
ment which very materially modifies
all previous estimates of the aggregate
loss by the hurricane. The article
says: mo estimate of the financial
loss sustained by this city from the
storm approaching the correct figure
nearer than several millions can be
prepared for at least a week, but it is
already evident Misrepresentation of
loss equalling and sometimes exceed

In arriving at this conclusion all the
heaviest losses have been considered,
and the figures have been obtained
from persons IN possession in almost
every place of personal knowledge.
The path of the storm is about half
a mile wide, and over four miles long,
sweeping through the thiclSly populated
southwest portion of Eastland, across
the river and into east ST. LOUIS
Col Wetmorc, manager Of the Lig-
gett plant which was wrecked, esti-
mates the property damage ut $25, 0oo,-
900, which, he says, will be almost a
total loss, owing to the lack of cyclone
insurance. Other estimates range from
$4,000, 600 to $40, ooo. 900. but the ma
iority of them are close to that of Col.
Wetnore.
The governor of Illinois is at the
scene at East ST. Louis and two COM

Associated Press Special Wire.
New YORK, March 1S.-In only three
stocks today were the records of business
important, so far as activity was con-
cerned. The market was no less strictly
professional than heretofore and the net
changes at the close recorded losses OF to
per cent in the more prominent shares.
The rapidly succeeding political complica-
tons in Europe was responsible for apathy
in the securities markets abroad and the
London quotations for American stocks
showed declines of Is to Il per cent.
Some selling for foreign account was also
noted in tho market. There was no nota-
BILE activity in any of the railroad stocks.
Tobacco again outclassed all competitors
in extent of trading. Unfavorable in
fuences bearing upon the general sltua-
ton were predictions OF hardening
in the mercantile world and the continued
disturbing effect of the Cuban discussion
in congress. The volume OF bust
ness was widely distributed. The
pressure to sell was. = almost
continuous, being relieved for but brief
period around midday. In the succeeding
dealings the offerings were more general
and the lowest prices of the day ruled at
the close. Denver and Rio Grande pre-
ferred yielded ! 4 per cent on foreign
selling. Railroad bonds were heavy, with
severe declines in some instances, but
chiefly in the Northern Paciflcs. Aggre-
