The French crop outlook reported being very favorable. Initial sales of May, which closed Friday at s7AQ97Hc, were made to-day at 977sQ971ac and for some time the market fiuctuated between
 those fractions. Offerings not at all heavy, but there was an almost total absence of buying orders.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The weakness of stocks was pronounced to-day and permeated every department of the market. The decline was quite uniform in the general list and a few Of the highly speculative specialties broke severely. There little reported in the way of buying orders at any point and nrices went off easily and rapidly. The market stead jed at intervals and rallied rather feebly but pronounced dulness followed every syn1p- tom Of recovery Few of the active stocls have escaped net loss Of a point or more and many prominent securities are over two points lower. The higher prices at inc onen ing were caused by the confidence with which prices of Americans had been sustained on the London Exchange during Saturdays holiday in New 1oTk- This confidence was still in eyi- dence in London before the opening here and the international stocks shows sharp advances case of Union Pacific. These advances ware of the most epheheral character some Of them being almost wiped out sales at the open- ing. This was particularly the case with Union Pacific stocks, in which the reorganization committees agreement with the Government over the kansas Pacific sale seemed to bring realization
 Much talk was. heard of the Cuban question during the day, but there was specific de veopment that offered d new motive for sell ing. The bears took advantage of the over bought condition of the market and the rather fong-sustained effort to support prices to make an aggressive raid. The stock dislodged by uncovered margins induced quite a heavy H. quidation. The bears had difficulty in cov- eering at the decline without any marked rally
 The reactionary tendency in stocks affected the bond list throughout for the first time since the recent advance was checked.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says:
 The stock markets quiet and easier to- day but with absence of business. Ameri- cans opened good. especially Louisville and Nashville and Union Pacific, but then gave way on New York selling and finally closed fiat on reports of ultimatum from the United States to Spain This was not generally be- lieved, and barring any such political news must report a very favorable disposition in financial quarters here towards Americans. Many indeed. looking for real boom. The general tendency to buy Louisville and Nash vile led by firm which recently secured large profits in trust operations in Americans. Spanish securities were steady. Gold has fallen sharply to 77s 912d.
 The feeling grows that the Chinese loan negotiations are still on, but discretion prompts secrecy, and to certain extent restraints the press.
