New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, May 11.--A general de.
cline In prices was recorded to-day and
the market displayed more features OF
interest than In several days previous.
The chief impetus to the decline was
supplied by large foreign selling orders
In all she London favorites, together
with general drop in the market for
Amerio n Issues in London. The weak
ness In London was induced by the fears
OF international complications growing
out OF the Cuban situation. However,
the Washington houses that had sold
the market freely during the morning
were among the larger buyers at the
close.
