in the character of recent stock mar
ket operations. General news bearing
on the situation was scant, but what
there was, was further. ammunition for
the bears. London, which has latterly
been buyer, turned seller for small
amount and western offerings were eff
fective In special stocks. General
weakness occurred In stocks with
which the firm OF Flower & Company
Is identified. following the announce
ment OF the death OF q member OF the
firm. These include half dozen OF
the most active issues and losses
-
Transit and Peoples Gas leading.
Elsewhere selling was In moderate VOL
ume, but some rather pronounced de-
clines occurred In Sugar, Tobacco, Con-
solidated Gas and Metropolitan Street
Railway. Railroad stocks were much
better sustained than the specinlties,
declines extending to point only In st.

national monetary situation was the
decline In call money In London to 2h
per cent. This circumstance was at
trtbuted to receipts OF gold by the
Bank OF England, amounting to s4.470.-
600. This amount included the $3.25O. 900
gold exported from here on Saturday
week. The sub-treasury statement for
to-day showed that It was q debtor at
the clearing house TO the unusual
amount of s3162,9o0. Payments by the
government on account OF the rpdemp-
ton OF the old 2 per cent bonds for
Saturday. and to.day amount to S3.T3a,-
0l9. At this rate OF replenishmrnt the
banks Will speedily recover the decrease
in surplus reserves suffered by last
weeks gold shipment. In the last half
hour OF trading Peoples Gas and
Brooklyn Transit were bid tip over a
