What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, April s0-The prices Of ac-
tive railway stocks scored an average net
loss Of about X per cent today, which Is
probably fair measure Of the influence
upon the stock market Of the heavy ship
ments of gold to Europe by tomorrow's
steamer. Some Of the losses were heavier
and some were less. but 1t was because
they were Influenced by special causes. Bear
orally but the dealings were most strictly
confined to professional trading. Transac-
tione were small and unevenly distributed.
Sugar was dealt In to the amount of 10 900
shares. The fluctuations were narrow and
the interest In the market was absolutely
dead. 1Ae condition Of the market for
American securities In London was eQual-
" dull. partially because tomorrow Is a
holiday there. The volume reached already
by the gold shipments is unquestionably
surprise and Disappointment to hold,
ers Of securities. The withdrawals of gold
some time past had prepared observers
for q reflected demand here, but It was ex-
|pected to result In transactions In the ma
ture r1r Of purchases aas Of gold with s quid

selling indicated that some such transac-
tione are being made, but the big volume

Dradstreet's Stock Review
NEW YORK. April so.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
While the eastern war situation has
passed into . stage which no longer
seems dangerous to the stock and money
market, It has been followed by no spec
ulative revival at London or on the con-
tinent.' Prices recovered, American
stocks with the rest, but there has been
no m6rkeQ improvement OF OlSpOSltlOn
to buy ON the part of the foreigners, so
that the European influences on our own
market have proved disappointment
The principal incident Of the financial
week was the breaking Of the bankers
compact In regard to gold shipments and
the export during the current week OF
S6,000, 900 specie. This was regarded as
unsettling, but at the same time the
large specie reserve in the treasury de-
prives the movement Of danger, even
though 1t should, as now seems probable,
result In the expectation Of $40 ,000, 900 or
more gold. Other factors, such as un-
certainty about the tariff. or the crops,
with the inactivity OF general business,
all had their influence, and the weeks
market has been excessively dull. The
fact that Tuesday was holiday here
was also calculated to restrict business
on the stock board and to limit transac-
tions to q small class Of traders. The
tone was generally stronger and though
the bears indulged in some attacks, par
tfcularly on Jersey Central and West
ern Union, there seemed to be demand
for stocks and indisposition to sell them
short to any extent.
