"After a considerable period of in

believing war will be of short dura-

opinions are holding.
"The market is almost bare of stocks
of fine Gautemalas and as none can

New York. Feb. 1s.-There was a feeling Of uneasi-
ness over the European political situation reflected
from all foreign exchanges to-day before the opening
of trading on the New York exchange. The collision
of British and French authorities in the Niger district
and the excited condition OF the public mind In
France were the motives of the heaviness which in
London resulted In a fall of 4 In British consols.
American securities were affected by the general
heaviness as well as by the special considerations
growing out Of Cuban questions. Declines in Ameri-
cans reached q point in London in a number Of cases
before the opening here. and, as a consequence. SELL
ing orders were placed for London account at the
opening. There was no local support for prices. On
the contrary there was a resumption of liquidation.
and the bears were encouraged to raid the market.
Prices quickly fell not only to the London parity, but
below 1t. The declines ranging up to 3 points and
over invited covering by the shorts. and prices hard
ened. but at no time did they fully recover to the
close. Weakness apparent in Sugar made 1t the CEN
ter OF a fierce raid in the final dealings. and 1t sank
to 12SA. the whole list selling OF to the lowest.
There was very determined support for Sugar at be-
low 12a, and the closing Of the market saw a battle
royal in progress between bulls and bears. and the
market consequently in a very unsettled condition.
Rallies of over a point were made by a number Of
stocks besides Sugar. but net losses were left on an
average of over a point. London selling was a feature
of the day. and the supply of St. Paul from that
source was sufficient to meet a large demand here and
keep the price down. The rate war in progress be-
tween the Canadian Pacific and the transcontinenta
lines in the United States for Klondike traffic was a
large factor, causing a decline OF 3 points in Canadian
Pacific and Of less amounts in the other roads a-
fected.
