The stock Market.

New York, May 16.-The stock mar ket was rather dull to-day and the tone was heavy throughout, Prices never got far away from the opening quota tions, except in few cases. The open- ing was made in sympathy with Lon don, where tie heaviness in all depart ments continues on account of the un- easiness occasioned by Colonial Secre- tary Chamberlain view of information al policies. Americans were no worse sufferers in the London market than other securities. Their prevailing high prices make them an inviting field for liquidation.
 An additional incentive for London's selling of these securities is that it re- lieved the tension of London's unfa- vorable exchange situation and the pressure upon it for gold. There was fair outside demand for stocks in the first hour, which absorbed very well the offerings for London account, and worked some recovery from the low point, The demand was soon satisfied,
 
 mainder of the day not far from the low level. Net losses of numerous lead ing stocks are a point or over. Sugar was strong after an opening decline, and easily led the list in point of activ- ity. It was at one time two points over Saturdays close. There were one or two other specialties, notably Western Union, Rubber preferred and Tennes- see Coal, which were firm. Rock Island in the railroad list was weld held and at one time rose above Saturdays clos ing, selling on parity with Burling- ton.
 But these were exceptions to the gen. eIal tone and their strength exerted little sympathy. It was evident that speculative activity is waiting on the developments of the naval strategy in the Caribbean Sea- There was preya- lent a somewhat less sanguine expecta- tion of speedy termination of the war, based on some disappointment over the results of the bombardment at San Juan. The evasiveness of the Spanish fleet was also taken as indi- eating a possibility of extended man. oeuvreing without material result The reported failure of efforts to effect a junction with the insurgents and to de- liver supplies of arms and ammunition to them was interpreted as demonstrat- ing that any decisive success in Cuba must wait on the campaign of the Unit ed States troops.
 Sterling exchange rates advanced full three-q quarters of cent to-day, but the market was reported dull. The money market continued easy and accommo- dations on commercial paper were lib- eral.
 Bonds were very dull and prices gen. erally were lower in sympathy with stocks. The total sales aggregated $1,- 275,000.
 There was decline of 14 in the Unit ed States regular fours of 1907. Gov ernment bonds were otherwise un- changed.
