from London, and the receipts of buying
orders from that center opened strong to
buoyant. An advance Of "A to "A per cent.
occurred in the first transactions, but the
rise was soon checked by a drop In Leath-
er preferred. from 90 to 59A. the stock still
feeling the effect Of the passing of the div
idend. The bears then seized upon the
Washington news concerning the agita-
tion in the Senate looking toward the rec
ognition Of the Cuban belligerents as
preteXt for a break I'm prices, and ham
mered the list with great vigor. Prices
yielded slowly at first, but. as round
amounts Of the leading shares were thrown
upon the market. the downward move
ment was accelerated, and during the af-
ternoon a general decline of y to per cent
ensued. The fact that houses with Wash
ington connections were prominent as sell
ers, gave color to the reports that feel
ing of apprehension existed as to the out
come of the much-talked-of Senate reso-
lutions on the Cuban question. Many stop
orders were caught on the way down and
a number Of small traders were shaken
out of their stocks. Particular attention
was paid to Sugar and the stock broke
from 11S5s to 1875 on sales of nearly 96-
coo shares. The leading insiders were
credited with heavy purchases at the low
er range. General Electric Chicago Gas,
Louisville and Nashville, Manhattan, the
Changers, Lackawanna, Tennessee, Coal
and Iron, jersey Central the Southwest

where from y TO per cent. Tobacco was
rather f1rmer than the rest and Northern
