New York Feb 1.-THE Evening Post 9
London financial cablegram says: 1.-The
| stock markets were quiet and easier 10
| day, but with en- absence of business.
Americans opened good, especially Louis
! Vile and Nashville and Union Pacific
| but then gave way on New York, selling
| and finally closed fiat on reports of an
! ultimatum from the United States 70
| Spain This was not generally believed
and barring any such political news must
| still report very feeble disposition in
| financial quarters here towards Amerl-
| cans Many, indeed, are looking for a
real boom The general tendency 10 buy
! Louisville and Nashville was led by firms
| which recently secured large profit IN
| trust operations. Spanish stocks were
! steady. Gold has fallen sharply TO IT'S
91kd.
| New York. Feb 14-The weakness OF
| stocks was pronounced to-day ana per-
| meated every department of the market
I The decline was quite uniform In the gen.
| eral list and a few of the highly specu-
lative specialties broke severely. There
was little support in the way OF buying
| orders at any point, and prices went off
easily and rapidly. The market steadied
at intervals and rallied rather feebly, but
pronounced dullness followed every symp-
toms of recovery.
Few of the active stocks have escaped a
net loss OF a point or more, and many
prominent securities are over points
lower. The higher prices AZ the opening
were caused by the confidence with which
prices Of Americans had been sustained
on the London exchange during Satur-
days holiday in New York. This conf
dence was still in evidence In London be-
fore the opening here and the interna-
tional stocks showed sharp advances in
sympathy, reaching nearly a point in the
case Of Union Pacific. These advances
were of the most ephemereal character,
some of them being almost wiped out in
the running sales at the opening. This
was particularly the case with Union Pa
cific stocks in which the reorganization

ment over the Kansas Pacific sale SEEM

cred a range Of 141a points the slump from
the high point to the lowest being contin-
uous and very violent, the prices giving
way several points at a time. There was
a quick rally OF 8Ia points. but the stock
fuctuated widely aud closed with a net
loss OF over points. Third Avenue was
at one time 81 points above last Friday s
close, and though u reacted sharply IN
sympathy with Metropolitan Street Rail
way, II retained a substantial gain.
Much talk was heard OF the Cuban ques-
ton during the day. but there was no
specific development that offered a new
motive for the selling. The bears took
advantage Of the over-bought condition
of the market and the rather long-sus-
