NEW YORK. March 26.-The Evening Post s London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here made heavy and depressed to-day on the eve of settlement, when big differences are again to be met. Consols were fiat. as also all the speculative markets There was sharp drop of two points in Spanish fours. The Cuban situation is still regarded more pessimistically than the conditions in any other quarter.
 The politics to-day even affected the money market. where the possibility that war be- tween the United States and Spain would ac- celerate gold movements from here to New York, was not lost sight of. To-day G125 00O in American gold coin sold by the Bank of England and over 0,000 from the Cape was bought up for New York Americans after a severe fall in the street on an uncon- firmed rumor that had been declared by Spain, recovered dollar good support
 War risks at Lloyds are said to be still ris- ing, but cannot give the actual quotation.
