stocks and Bonds.

New York, May 13.-There was not 4 sin
gle effective rallying point in to-day'S mar
ket. and the only interruption to the sag
ging of prices was an occasional brief
buying of shorts in SOM few stocks to
cover. The strength of American securi-
ties in London and the buying by London
in this market which have been factors in
the last two days in sustaining the market
were less conspicuous to-day. American
after the opening here, that market appar-
emily having become discouraged at the
persistent distrust displayed by the New
York markets of its own securities. Quite
a serious view also was taken in the street
of the Developments at Washington, and
the hints thrown out by parties to the con-
of the government of a state of affairs eX-
listing in Cuba calling for interference.
This, coupled with the suggestive course of
the Senate towards the Morgan resolution
and a belief that II will pass. was taken
as foreshadownig a more aggressive Cuban
policy on the part of the administration.
and the dealers in stocks here inclined by
these advices to discount a possible fall in
value from strained relations with Spain
on this question. A report also found Gre
dence that is was i'm prospect to displace the
tariff bill in the senate by the Cuban ques-
ton as more urgently calling for early set
tlement-a report which was used by the
bears with good effect in adding to the
weight on the market. The announcement
of a $1,OO0,o00 gold shipment by Saturdays
steamer, in face OF a rather weak exchange
market. shows that the limit of no profit
is not yet crossed. with demand sterling at
S4.S14. The exchange market sttffened to
some extent just before the closing of trad
ing. and further shipments of gold are felt
to he not improbable. Although thisp roba-
bility was discounted several days ago by
the selling of stocks il had an effect in de
pressing values in the narrow and profess
sional market. and in discouraging trading.
Although to-day'S sales were larger than
those of yesterday there were no signs of
any outside interest in the market aside
from the dealings for London account.
Railwfy bonds eased of on light dealings
with the recessiOps unimportant in the
leading mortgages.
