YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Review of Prince & Wfiitely-Features
 of the Day, Etc.

of the Day, Etc
 Our market opened with considerable activity and general selling, emanating principally from the continent of Flu rope and consisting chiefly of the Pacific stocks, which of the internationally list ed ones had been the most courted for some time past. Unless a change in sentiment for the better takes place ere long, these sales, in our opinion, will mean further gold shipments in the near future. Close of the continental bourses was weak and heavy for Amer jeans. Here at home the early sales were taken with some avidity by the shorts, and not doubt there was some fresh business based upon the belief that recent sharp declines had extended to a point where natural reactions should give us turn for the better It is only month ago when stocks were selling nearly ten points higher, that the prevalent opinion was that values would under then existing conditions sell much higher, and surely conditions now existing have not so very material ly changed. After the early advance was established business fell off some what, and recessions took place again. In the main, however, the sentiment if changed at all, was for the better Ex- ports of gold by Thursdays steamer amount to $3,000,000, all to France For eign exchange was steady, but without much demand. Actual rates for sterling were 4S4& and 4SSA bid and trading.
 Money unchanged at steady at 21b per cent, on call time S1a to AZ per cent, according to collaterals and periods. If railroad earnings are any indication of values there ought not to be much oc- casion of fear of serious declines. Of course the selling for European and re- ported trouble in India is not very en- couraging, leave alone the recent brusque expose in the iron and steel trade, but on the whole there remain many bright spots which offer assur- ances for the future. Wheat remains very much neglected speculatively, but plrces do not very much, Cotton also is neglected speculatively. while there is no change in the strength of the sitla- tion The stock market during closing hour displayed considerable firmness under the leadership of constant pur- chases of Sugar which closes 5 per cent. higher than the day before. Almost every stock on the list recovered the early declines and close at fractions above yesterdays close, with the out look temporarily at least improved.
