New York, May 5.-As yesterday the
stock market was one of sDecialties, the
Industrials figuring for the bulk of the
business transacted. The total sales were
only 103833 shares, and in this small total
Tobacco led with 1920 shares. Leather
state Gas was third with 100 shares.
Tobacco was weak throughout, and under
steady pressure Of stock for both ac-
counts, fell from 6SA to 667s067Is. Leather
preferred, on the other hand was firm
on rather vague reports that the directors
intended declaring a dividend shortly.
Bay State Gas started off with a rise of
rs per cent. to 80, fell to 81 and rallied
to 3212sd31A. Laclede Gas and Rubber
were heavy. The former broke q to 25a4
on false rumor that the case involving
the charter of the company had been de-
cided against it. Later on a rally to 2714
ensued. Rubber common dropped ~ to
% and the preferred 3&4 TO S0N, the an
nouncement that EX-President Banigan
had organized an opposition company
having Induced further liquidations Cot
ton oil, common and preferred were high
er, on the statement that the directors
had declared the regular Semi-annual diVi-
dend of 3 per cent. on the latters. The
usually active railway lists showed no
change of consequence, although the ten
dency of prices was downward. London
operators were Insignificant, but local
traders were disposed to espouse the short
side of the account, because of the en-
gagements of gold for Thursdays steam
ers, and the Impression that additional
metal will be forwarded to Europe on
Saturday. The advance in freight charg-
es for carrying gold by the trans-Atlan-
tic lines will not check exports Of the
closed dull Net changes show losses of
1sQ14 in the railway list and 1Q194 per
cent. in the Industrials, Rubber pre-
ferred leading. Cotton oil preferred
gained &c on the day. Bonds were firm
in tone; sales aggregated $l093,O0O
