DEPRESSION IN WALL STREET
Prices Declining In Consequ ence 0
the Silver Agitation.

Prices Declining in Consequ ence of
the silver Agitation.
New York, June 80 The interviews
civenont by ex-Secretary of tile Navy Whit
neg. .ex-Gov. Flower aud other leading lights
of the Democra tic party over Sunday, in-
dicating that the Chicago convention will
be controlled by the free aiverites, had i
decidedly depressing effect In Wall street
today.
The dealings at the Stock Exchange were
on j larger scale ttian for some time. and
the Iquidatious were extensive enough tv
cause drop of prices of 1-2 10 4 IL per
cent. Itappears that the market was fairly
honeycombed with stop orders. the margins
OF many holders having become exhausted
by the prolonged strain.
In addition to the selling for long ac-
>ount, there were also heavy speculative
sales. the bears being most aggressive and
predicting direful results in consequence of
the strength shown by the advocates of free
coinage of silver in various parts of the
country.
The situation was aggravated by the
engagement OF $500, COO gold at the SUBJ
Treasury by Laad Freres for shipment to
Europe tomorrow, and fear that more
gold will go out as a result of the coming
contest over the white metal.
The foreign houses bought about 4O, 900
shares, here, but this was mere drop
in the bucket, and the lowest prices OF
the day We're made after the close of the
London market. The important declines
follow:
Sugar, 7-s to 100 "a; Tobacco. 1 7.a
to 62 1-s; Cotton Oil, I-2 to 9; do. pre-
ferred, 3 to so; Bay State Gas, Ia to

In Wall Street Today.
New York, June 29-The stock market
in the first hour OF business was dtsnor-
a'ized under liberal offerings for both
accounts. The practical admission OF de.
Feat by some of the sound money leaders In
advance OF the meeting of the Chica go con-
ven,ion had discoura gmg effect on
holders of securities, and it looked at one
time as, If every commission broker on
the floor had an order to SELL
Holders were pretty well scared, and the
room had story that Boies OF Iowa would
secure the Democratic nomination. and
that the sound money men would form a
third party. Brokers OF two prominent
traders were conspicuous sellers. and their
offerings added to the depression.
The break in prices ranged from 1-2 to

The selling movement in stocks was
rene wed after II O'Clock, and a further
material decline in prices was recorded in
some cases. The grangers were under the
hammer, the Burlington & Quincy state
ment having had a very unfavorabe
influence. This company reported a de-
