N. p. BONDS DROPPED DOWN.

NEW YORK, March 18.-In only three stocks
today were the records of business important
so far as activity was concerned. The market
was no less strictly professional than hereto
fore, and the net changes at the close record
ed losses Of 1@2 per cent in the more prom
inent shares. The rapidly succeeding polit-
ical complications in Europe were responsible
for apathy in the securities. Markets abroad
and the London quotations for American
stocks showed declines of 1s@A per cent.Some
selling for foreign account was noted in this
market Louisville &c Nashville and St. Paul
being the chief sufferers. Tobacco outclassed
all of its competitors in extent of trading,
that stock figuring for 62,600 shares out Of
total of about III, 900 shares drop Of
21a per cent in it's price was succeeded by a
full recovery. Selling late in the day result
ed in net loss Of 13s per cent The directors
of the company were in session today, but,
according to an Official no action was taken
on the alleged impending additional issue Of
81, 900 OF the preferred stock. Unfavorable
influences bearing upon the general situa-
tion were predictions of hardening ten
dency in money rates, further disasters in
the mercantile world, and the continued effect
Of the Cuban discussions in congress. The
volume of business, though meager, was wide
ly distributed.
Aside from the International stocks referred
to, Southern preferred, Denver & Rio Grande
preferred and Kansas & Texas preferred
yielded 1@1A per cent on foreign selling.
The weakness in st. Paul excited some COM
ment owing to an increase of Sis, APO in the
returns for the second week. Consolidated
Gas furnished a surprise by dropping Az
per cent. Subsequently rally ensued from
14S to 152, the final transaction being at 152.
Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred dropped 31a
to SO in the face of reports of progress in
the arrangements for soft coal pool. 1t
rallied later to 345s. Railroad bonds were
heavy, with declines in some instances, but
chiefly in the Northern Pacifcs. The deal
ings aggregated 81, $4,000. Governments were
firm on dealings of $41, 900.
In state securities $4,000 Virginia Cen
turies sold at slightly lower figures.
The totals sales of stocks today were 22O,-
1870 shares, including the following Amer
lean Tobacco, $4,000; American Sugar, 1920;
Burlington, $780, Consolidated Gas, 5000;
