 Market,

Not n Single Railying Point in Yesterdays
 Market.
 New York, May t3-There was not a single effective rallying point in to- days market, and the only interruption to the sagging of prices was the oc- easional brief buying of shorts in some few stocks to cover. The strength Of American securities in London and the buying by London in this market, which have been factors in the last two days in sustaining the movement were less conspicuous to-day. Ameri- can stocks became heavy and dull in London after the opening here, that markets apparently having been dis couraged at the persistent distrust dis played by the New York market of it's own securities.
 A report also found credence that it was in prospect to displace the tariff bill in the senate by the Cuban ques- ton as more urgently calling for early settlement-a report which was used by the bears with good effect. The an- nouncement of a $1.0O0OOO gold ship ment by Saturdays steamer in face of a rather dull exchange market, shows that the limit of profit is not crossed with domestic at s4.S7A.
 Tho exchange market stiffened to some extent just before the close of trading and further shipments of gold are felt to be not improbable Although this probability was discounted several days ago by the selection of stocks it had an effect in depressing values in the narrow and professional 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. The grangers were quite firmly held in the early trading, but later succumbed and showed a de- cline as great as the average. The losses were remarkably uniform on all the most active stocks, the declines ranging from $ to 12s, the latter. Leath- CT preferred.
