NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-The stock market
was listless and without decided tone today
The net changes were trivial in most cases
and the market moved up and down within
narrow range. London buying gave a Slight
upward impetus at the opening and then
proht-taking by yesterdays buyers drove
prices below last nights le} el. The close was
above the lowest but net changes were
much mixed.
The course of prices was conflicting in the
final dealings. some stocks mOying UPWARDS
and others downwards simUItaGe1usIy and
apparently without manipulation. The whole
OF the trading was by small room traders
and large operators We're apparently con-
tented to stand by for the present and watch
the course OF things.
Some few stocks were notably firm all
day, such the Reading and Erie issues
Northern Pacific pfd and some of the S uth-
ern and Southwes- -ern reads Ca allan Pacific
also ruled higher. The bank statement was
without particular effect, as the conditions
disclosed had made themselves felt during the
week. The heavy decrease in loans indicates
liquidation on the stock exchange, but prob
ably does not tuIIy measure 1t as the loans
which have been called have been in part
replaced in time loans and commercial pa
per.
Prices of standard stocks are to points
lower than week ago; declines in the specu-
latIye bond issues are l TO ) per cent; gov
ernment bonds are p TO 3l2 per cent lower;
call money rates have risen from IL to per
cent and exchange has fallen to he gold i'm
port point with $2,200.C COO engaged for ship
ment or on passage. This in brief represents
the changes in the financial situation from
last Saturday. Prices Of stocks are consider
ably above the low point of Thursday morn
ing when the downward plunge took on
panic conditions for a time

Lsttsr From SOLDIER "Ioa.

A letter from Joseph Levy, of Com
pany d, Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
dated Honolulu, August 30th, and re-
ceived here yesterday, says:
''After fiddling about for more than two
months we are now just about half way
to Manila, where we hoped to be month
ago. and with the chances of never reach
ing theFe now staring US in the face.
When we arrived here we learned tha.
we were to wait for orders coming on the
Scandia, due here this week, so we don't
know whether we are to continue our
journey, or are TO remain here aud keep
the children of McKiniey's newborn
annex in line.
The trip across the water was delight
ful. The weather was fine all the way
except the first day out, when we struck
a fog and heavy sea. The engines broke
down in midocean and we were tossed
around like tub for six hours. While
the break was being mended we all took
q plunge in the ocean. Even Governor
Hogg, of Texas, who is with us, dipped
his $50 pounds of pork in the brine. He
presented a very eomical sight. Nearly
every man aboard excepting myself was
seasick. / was assigned to the steward
for duty as clerk shortly amer leaving
Frisco. My duties keep me on board
ship, while the other boys are camping
about four miles from the city. The
weather is delightfully."- warm here dur
ing the day, not at all oppressive. while
the nights are cool. Lieutenant Colonel
Barnett was seasick throughout the en-
tire voyage, but he is all right now and
went out to camp this evening. never
felt better in my life and am gaining
