New York, March 10.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
1.-The stock markets here remained quiet
during the progress of the settlement
There were no fresh political scares but
the markets were weakened by fears Of
the settlement tomorrow. Large losses
have been made In Grand Trunks, Ameri-
cans and Mines. The latter concerns Paris
as we'll Several firms are in difficult cir
cumstances. I learn that the largest will
be helped over, and probably only one or
two small failures will be announced
Americans were lifeless for the reasons
stated. Eagles will probably leave the
Bank Of England tomorrow. Details of
the gold movement for the-week show
the shipment of $2l5,0O0 to South America
the sale of $4,000 in American gold coin
the receipt of Ella 900 from Australia. and
the purchase of 10000 in French coins end
f92 600 in Japanese coin. Spanish and Bra
lillian stocks were sold heavily from Paris
at the close here.
New York. March 10.-To-day's stock
market showed a further contraction in
the volume of dealing and an apathetic
tone TO the trading which indicated the
prevailing disposition to refrain from
speculative activity until conditions be-
came more settled. There is continued
unea siness regarding the Cuban situation
which finds its reelection in the large offer
ings of securities on any substantial adj
vance. 1t is the evident sentiment also
that the present condition, so far as
they are known do not warrant a further
violent decline in prices.
There was most strenuous attempt in the
early dealing to mark up prices with
the purpose of pinching small bear traders
and probably. also, for the purpose Of
realizing at The higher level.
