STOCKS.
The feature of the stock market to-day
was the strength it displayed under con-
tinued free realization sales by traders
and some of the larger local operators.
Nothing new developed in the situa ton
to warrant a change of sentiment. The
selling was based simply on "a desire to
secure profits. The foreign news was
very favorable, all the markets there
showing strength and activity and an
upward tendency and foreign houses here
turned up as good buyers, and took in
all upwards of 10000 shares. The buy
ing power predominated during the fore
noon, and under it's influence, prices ad-
vanced "A to 70 points throughout the list,
on top of last nights advanced quota
tions, but in late trading there was more
pressure ITO sell, and under its influence
the early improvements were lost. The
realizations were doubtless accelerated
by the development of further extreme
weakness in the securities of b. and o.,
and u. S. Rubber, and renewed liquida-
tions i'm the coalers. 1t is now pretty
generally believed that 3. and O., will
default ON the interest ON its bonds due
June last. The selling of Rubber was
based on resignation of President Evans,
last night 1t was said that he resigned
for personal reasons, but at the same time,
there were rumOrs of dissensiOns among
the directors, and poor trade reports The
general sentiment at the close continued
moderately bullish on the general situa-
tion, and belief that the tariff bill be
pushed through the Senate before July
1st, and that nothing will be done in the
meantime by the administration on the
Cuban question.

E.B. CUTHBERT & CO.'S. LETTER

E. B. CUTHBERT & CO.'S. LETTER.
New York, May 27.-(Special)-Wheat
continued dull and irregular to-day with
softening tendency to values. The mar
ket acted precisely the same as yesterday.
There was holiday In France and all
their markets were closed. Liverpool
continued open, and prices declined "
further this morning, before our market
opened. These advices were temporarily
offset by colder weather in Northwest,
with more frost in Ohio, and indications
of colder weather and frost extending
further South. There was an absence
Of support, and as crop accounts from
Southwest continued favorable, and st.
Louis sent advices apprehensive of the
earlier arrival than usual Of the first car
new wheat, and prices there broke l cent,
and the longs and small holders started
to liquidate, there was but feeble sup
port, and prices declined / 1s cents under
the pressure from the opening. On the
break advices were received that cash
wheat had declined two cents at Toledo
and three at Duluth. Heavy buying a.
gainst puts by holders of privileges, and
exporters here and at the outport taking
10 loads, and reports of 25O,OOO bushels
engaged for shipment at Chicago check
ed the decline, and led to a subsequent
rally of "A to " cent and steady closing
tone with final prices showing net loss
of ~ to IS cents.
COTTON.
The trading in cotton continued very
dull and entirely OF a local nature. There
was nothing i'm the cables or the news
received from the South or East calcu-
lated to induce new buying for the rise,
and the market dragged along IN a dull
and llstiess fashion up to the close. Ihe
bears were disnclined to force the issue,
and as the selling pressure from outside
sources was light, the fluctuations were
small and unimportant throughout the
day. The market opened steady at !
point decline for the near months and !
to 3 points advance on the late months
and after the call, the difference was ad-
justed so that the general list showed a
net advance of / to points over last
nights prices. In late trading the mar
ket became easier on the continued alb
sence of business and the close was quiet
and easy with the final prices the lowest
and showing a net decline of points.
Spot cotton III this market ruled quiet
and steady AMI fair demand at unchang-
ed prices with sales ! ,S34 bales at IA
cents, for middling. The Southern mar
kets were quiet and steady and unchang-
ed. In Liverpool spot cotton closed quiet

and Irregular.

New York, May 27.-TOday's market
for cotton proved to be the most narrow
and featureless of recent times. The
opening was quiet but firm, with prices
one point lower to three points higher,
trading throughout the session was very
slack with the entire swing of variations
on the more active positions a matter of
2@7 points. The close was quiet and
steady at net decline of four points to
a net advance of two points. Immediate
ly following the opening call the market
became very sluggish and remained so
throughout the session with only light
local trading.
