New York, May 1.-the factors in to-
day limited speculation at the Stock
Exchange We're the changeuin the atti-
tuCe of the London operators who were
sellers of our securities The cool recep-
ton given the New York city loan by
London investors, the agitation of the
Cuban question. both at Washington and
Madrid and the engagement of $1000OO)
gold for export to Europe tomorrow were
the features. The fact that London spec
ulatOrs were sellers of our paper was a
distinct disappointment Yesterday the
foreigners bought fairly large quantities
of st. Paul and Louisville and Nashville
and some of the ow-priced bonds and
indications pointed 10 still further buy
ing for the account. The reverse proved
true and local operators VINO are of the
opinion that a reaction is overdue, took
advantage to bring lower range The
failure TO declare the Manhattan dividend
Tor the March quarter assisted the shorts.
The company, according to the statement
filed with the railroad commission al AL
bany, failing to earn all its charges, IN
Guiding dividends, by S65,239. For the nine
months ended March 81, the deficit is 1898, O.
JO3, against &ll753 in 1895. The stock fell

ing particularly weak in the closing trans
actions. The call made by the treasury
department for 30 per cent. Of money held
by the depository banks on bond account
had no influence on the money market.
although as the margin of profit is so
small on gold exports, anything that af-
fects the rates ought 10 check ettlux Of
