NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The tendency
of speculation in railroad stocks to
separate itself from that in the indus
trial Speuialties became more marked
today. The industrals have not yet
fallen to minor place in the Specula-
ton as they are likely to do at Il time
when 4 widespread general demand
springs up for standard railroad secu-
rites. but there are evidences of Il
elimination of speculative movements
in some of them today ana the realiz-
ing was covered by manipulative ad-
NanceS.
Brooklyn Transit AMI Rubber We're
the most conspicuous sufferers from Ii
uu!dation. while tobacco and cotton oil
continued TO advance. BY far the most
significant movement in the market
was the enlarged demand for railroad
stocks. This was most conspicuous il,
the Srangers. but the Pacific railroads
also shared in the movement and there
was distinctly broadening tendency
all through the list. various inert
stocks making large because belated
advances to the higher level establish
ed in the last few days. The granger
movement turned ON traffic possibilities
and limitations that some of the
group will show an increase in earnings
for July in spite of the large falling off
OF the grain movements as compared
With last year. Much Importance was
given To the report received by tho
State Department from the Uni,eS,
States consul at Moscow that Russia
is considering Il proposition to forbid
the expectation Of grain owing to the
failure OF the crops to make good the
last years large depletion in reserves

Washington Sept 2S.-Folowing the

been obliged to leave his post by the

addition of a sufficient period of time, to

Woodford TO have returned to Madrid in

it is customary for polite reasons TO send
a new minister to avoid the revival of Bit

usage, persist in returning Gen. Wood

vices were received to-day which brought
the melancholy relief to the suspense ex-
perenced regarding the full extent of the
hurricane disaster at the islands of ST.
Vincent st. Lucia and Barbados. showing
that the first accounts were not exagger-
ated.

ping
The following towns or villages were de-
stroyed: Roseplace Grande Sable. Arnos-
vale, Mount Pleasant, Argyle Walltabo,
the second city. Georgetown, was consld-
erably damaged.
No approximate estimate of the pecun-
larry damage done has been reached but
the island is practically ruined
ST Lucia suffered mostly from rain and
landslldes, the deluge tasting ten hours.
The city of Castrles suffered somewhat,
chiefly from a tidal wave, which swept
over half The town and wrecked a portion
Of Bay street. Thirteen lives were lost
The full extent of the damage has not been
computed, but II Is incomparably less
than st. Vincents
The hurricane struck the Island Of Bar
bados on the night OF the 10th, completely
wrecking that fiat, exposed island and
sweeping away 10000 houses. while dam
aging thousands more. This left three
quarters of the inhabitants homeless. over
100 people were killed as far as known.
The total estimated damage, beside the
loss from the cane crop and provisions Is
about 81 100000 at Barbados.
