EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-To-day's heavy de- cline in the stock market was made without another actual new development in the situa- ton. but was rather to be attributed to com bination of impressions which have been the underlying force in speculation for a week or more To-day's market demonstrated for one thing that last weeks decline would have been much heavier on the developments in the Cuban question, had it not been for the support of powerful interests who desired an opnortunftv to realize The entire absence of sunnort to
 day gave color to the supposition that those interests had completed their liouidation and were indifferent to the course of the market
 The motives assigned for the selling had less apparent basis in fact than were furnished by the developments of last week So far as they turned on the Cuban question they dealt with the speculations possible future events and on abstruse points of international law without any convincing authority to back them Ap- prehenslons growing out of the rate war for passenger business between the Canadian Pa cihc and our own transcontinental lines had a more substantial basis, though soothing sug- geston offered that the profits and dfvi- dends were not largely dependent on passenger business anyhow. There seemed to be no real izing sense that this suggestion was inconsis- tent with the large advances which had been forced in the price of securities on hopes of Klondike traffic. The great storm in the West also a factor of real importance, both by reason of the interruption to railroad traffic and the possible damage to crops What ever the real motive. 1t beyond dispute that there were large offerings of securities for which there was adequate demand and selling orders to stop losses were uncovered on the descending scale. Declines were so great that the prices that looked attractive as bar gains were reached in many cases and buying thus invited steadier prices and worked re- coveries This was repeated several times dur ing the day and the market closed with an- other rally in full force, thus leaving the net declines decidedly smaller than the extreme declines during the day. A feature of the day was the marking up of call loans to 1z per cent in accordance with the reduction in the sur plus reserve The local market paid no atten- ton to the frmer tone on foreign exchange due to the subsistence of apprehension over the West African situation, which was regarded with such acute misgivings on the local ex- change on Saturday. London was buyer on

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-It looked at the open ing In wheat as though there was to be an other wild day in the pit. May was bid for at the commencement all the way from s1 06 to s1 07h the higher of the figures being an ad- vance of 11ac Saturdays closing price. Most of the bidding at s1 06 and the prices settled there for a moment. Then 1t rose rap idly to s1 071s declined cent and worked back more slowly to S1 or. July was affected also, though not showing such rapid or violent fiuc- tuations. The break In New Yolsc stocks and the war talk in the morning papers undoubt- edly had a good deal of influence on shorts, whose anxiety to cover was responsible for the nervousness the market displayed. The Letter representatives claim they did nothing at to-, days market. The crowd believed that a good portion of the buying was done on every soft spot for his credit, and thls belief added to the general nervousness Wheat on ocean pass age showed an increase for the week of 2320,
 000 bushels. This provoked lively selling from scattered longs Up to midday the market showed a series of fluctuations more less violent, May being bid up at time to s1 0S, but dropping at once to s1 07h. July acted heavier and did not get at any time above 93Ikc The visible figures disappont- ment to the bulls. They showed decrease of but 301. 900 bushels, and but for the heavy de- crease at Chicago, owing to the Letter ship ments, there would probably have been an in- crease. Free selling both of July and May fol- lowed this announcement Toward the close a sudden bulge in New York, and the good ex- port business from the Atlantic ports 572, 900 bushels, injected some strength into the drop

NEW YORK, Feb. 2L-The Evening Post London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here opened flat to-day on politics. 4 recovery at midday was followed by a further sharp fall, mainly on bear operations and New York sales of Americans. Paris bought steadily through the day. including Ameri- cans but this was powerless to support the market Unless there should be a sharp rally tomorrow morning big differences are to be met notably In Grand Trunk and Americans. by weak operators. At the same time there have also been commitments in the last few days.
 New Yorks heavy selling tonight, occur ring on the eve of the settlement here and the holiday in the United States tomorrow, de- moralized the market and caused gloomy feeling Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific be- ing 8 to S6 lower than at the last settlement Argentines were better Mines were dull. The settlement in that market is featureless.
 Gold Is in fair demand at ITS sad. but the demand is now confined to South America There Is good reason to believe that but for this bar gold might go to the Bank of Eng land. French exchange has been easier, but closed firm at last weeks high rate of 25.27. It is expected that resumption of purchases of stocks here by French capital will induce a further rise. France will also find 1t neces- sary to make large purchases of wheat.
