Upon Foreign Markets.
London, March 16.-Too many de-
pressing influences were abroad last
week to permit Of much activity on the
stock exchange. Money is still scarce,
and there is no prospect of this search
~ being relieved by large government
disbursements until after the Easter
holidays
The health Of Cecil Rhodes added to
the depression of the stock although it
is confidently asserted that arrange
ments have been perfected to avert a
serious disturbance in the event of his
death
The capture of General Methuen was
the most serious factor of the week
from the sentimental point of view,
although the suppression Of this news
by the government until the ,conclud-
ing of the settlement prevented what
doubtless would have been a disastroT8
slump of the market. There is no ques-
ton that the stock exchange is now
in a healthier condition than it has
been for several weeks past owing 10
the drastic shaking out Of the weak
bulls, but there is no disposition TO
embark upon fresh commitments at the
present moment.
New issues met with scant encour-
agement in the exchange and Ameri-
cans were absolutely stagnant. Home
rails were dull and lower. Mines were
dull at only a slight decline on the
week. but their general range was
