NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nav 13-The reactionary
tendency of the stock market was accentuated to-
day by advices fl ON Washington indicating that
there is more serious phase in the general situa-
tion in Cuba in so far as his country may becom
involved. Advces in this respect were not re-
ceived until the afternoon but upon their general
dissemination the market sold off rapidly and raj
lied very feeby at the close. There was pract-
caily no other influence in the days market, for
with the correction of the extravagant estimates
% the shipment of gold on Saturday the bear
omtraders were left without much speculative
ammunition which probably accounts for the
avidity with which they seized upon the revival
OF the Cuban question. One million dollars in gol
has been axe Tor export Saturday, I'd at least
$ much in addition is expected to be taken to-
morrow but the actual shipments still fall far be-
low the general Stock Exchange estimates of the
week.
AT the opening the tone of the market fairly
stead on a renewal Of purchases for foreign ac-
count and the general London market re-
ported firm q reduction the discount rate Of
the Ba X OF Englai TO 2 per cent indicating the
final disappearance of any disquietude in regard
to the European political situation. Beyond the
publication OF few interesting statements of
railway earnings the day was bare of news any
additions the situation except for the revival
the Cuban question as a stock-market factor.
Transactions were upon a somewhat larger scale
