STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. May 7.-Today's stock
market reflected an unavailing effort to
contest the downward tendency after
yesterdays revulsion from the semi
decentralization on Monday. Some reac-
tionary tendency was natural to restore
the normal balance of things, but this
tendency was reinforced by the decidedly
skeptical sentiment over the prophecies
of the anthracite labor settlement
These prophesies continued very conf
dent at sources with every means of au-
thoritative information, but the fiat con
tradiction of the rumors received from
Scranton where the miners delegates
were in convention, caused confusion
and uncertainty and a suspicion tha'
the Wall Street outgivings were in the
nature of tips" designed to influence
the stock market. As a matter OF fact
Reading which was accepted as the in
deX of the anthracite situation was lifted

of the condition of the crops and the
weakness of the grain market were q

they made a good advance in the course
of the session. The continued aggres-
sive strength of Louisville and Nashville
and Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville
and various smaller subsidiary lines
gained additional influence from the re-
Spouse in Southern Railway, which was
considered significant of closer relations
in the whole Southern group. Nashville

in evidence in Chicago Great Western,

transactions by the company. The
money market was called earlier today,
the maximum loaning rate reaching 10
per cent, with a subsequent recession to
6 per cent.
The decline in the foreign exchange
rate ceased in response to earlier months
and discussion was renewed of gold
exports.
Current receipts of Louisville and
Nashville stocks from foreign holders
are very large and represent require
ments for foreign payments. There are
reports of large loans during the week
made in the stock market for account
of outside institutions, but it is worthy
of notice that $4,000 in currency has
gone to New Orleans, this week and
today at 20 cents discount Notwith-
standing the relief afforded by the purg-
ing of unhealthy spots in the market,
there is still some tendency to vague
feeling that there may be some imitation
still beyond the curb stone bubbles,
which composed last week
A symptom of this feeling is found in
a revival of discussion of some restric-
ton on the loaning powers of the trust
companies and additional requirements
upon them for maintenance of cash re-
serves. The market closed heavy.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York. May THE cotton market
opened steady with prices to points
lower in response to poor Liverpool
cables and bearish crop accounts from
the South. There. were few supporting
orders in evidence and the bears were
inclined to be aggressive. So after the
call July was forced down to 9.23 and
August 9.06 The New Orleans market
gave no sign of working higher and com
mission houses appeared in a selling
mood. When least expected, Liverpool
took turn for the better and active
buying for Western and Southern ac-
counts became a feature. Shorts hastily
turned for cover and room operators
shifted to the bull side for a sharp rise.
AS the market improved the demand
from outside interests increased until
July had rallied Is points to 9.3S. At
this level leading houses figured as lib
eral sellers, being Influenced by large
estimates for tomorrows receipts and
favorable weather forecasts. July sold
off to $50, later rallying to 9.35 on bull
ish Southern spot market news. For the
rest of the day prices followed a see
saw movement, leading to reports that
prominent interests were manipulating
prices for small turns. August advanced
to 9,1S, dropped back to $40, worked up
to 9.15, then off to 9.0S and II and then
to 907. The close was barely steady
with prices net points higher to two
points lower. Total sales were estimated
at 100000 bales.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New Orleans, May TN the spot cotton
market factors report some improvement
in the demand for spot. AS an opening
that was from unchanged to about S

there came a steady recovery and prices

market was a forward one almost from
the first trading. May rose points over

London. April 2s.-The speech or the
United States secretary OF the treasury
Mr.. Shaw. ar Pittsburg tat the banquet
April &c. in celebration OF the late Gen.
Grants birthday has thus far passed un-
noticed by the London press, with the ex-
ception of the Globe which is extremely
wrathy at such a responsible politician
Tickling the ears OF groundlings with a
speech full OF menace TO Americas only
friend among the Powers OF Europe"
After quoting the speech the Globe con-
tinues:
1--WE are not greatly concerned either
for the threat or the crude vulgarity
which causes Mr. Shaw TO apply IL TO n
particular Power; but, what impresses
us with sense of American decadence
Is the manner in which the absurd
speech was received.
Were an English Minister OF Mr..
Shaw's position to make similar allu-
sion TO a foreign Power all the chancellor
les of Europe would be convulsed.
But England hccds IL not a whit. and
the rest OF the world shrugs its shoulders
and talks about diplomacy ia shirt
