EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 17.-There was com plete reversal of sentiment on the Stock Fix change to-day compared with that of the earlier part of the week and prices sagged al- most continuously. The losses averaged nearly 2 per cent in the standard shares and were more pronounced in the specialties, where in case the decline exceeded per cent. Trad ing was dominated by the announced compile ton of the Maine Board of Inquiry report, the failure of the Pacific roads to reach an amicable agreement upon passenger rates and the neavy selling by houses with Washington connec- tions 4 favorable factor which had little in- fuence was the continued influx of gold. The present movement, including to-days engage nents of S1, ,S00. GOO and the s, 900 route from Australia, is in excess of $50, coo 600. The continued ease of money likewise attracted lit tie attention. The resumption of uneasfness as to the general Cuban situation seemed not to be shared on the foreign bourses where Span ish 4s advanced although this may have been due to the announcement that the interest pay ments which had been in doubt would be made. The bears offered round amounts of the Grangers, sugar Manhattan, Metropolitan Street Railway and other prominent securities. The absence Of support by leading operators was readily perceived by the advocates of lower values and utilized to the fullest extent. London was rather apathetic and early prices afforded little encouragement to either party, being slightly mixed. Subsequent cables re- ported the London exchanges closing exceed ingly weak in response to this side. Sugar absorbed the bulk of the traders attention during the day at recedng prices. The net losses of points and over follows
