MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships
and Shipping.


The weather yesterday was such as
to cause suspension of work along the
river. At points along the wharves
where workmen were not sheltered II
was difficult to get them TO work. For
tunately for stevedores. however, there
is no very urgent work to be done at
present and the lay off in many cases
did not entail serious loss.
With the excellent arrangements at
the more important wharves, weather
such as yesterday does not incommode
the companies. At the Central Rail-
road, Seaboard Air Line Railway and
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, the
places where most of the laborers work
are covered by sheds. so that they are
thoroughly protected from the weather.
Forecast of May weather at sea.
The United States photographic Of
fee with the North Atlantic pilot
chart, issues the following forecast for
weather at sea during May:
Summer conditions are practically
established over the ocean. The ba-
rometric depressions of the month will
be few in number and the storm winds
surrounding them of no great in
tensity. Along the transatlantic
routes the prevalence of westerly Is.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May S.-The stock mar
ket continued the desultorv decline
which developed yesterday and which
was without special explanation be-
yond the disposition of the professional
traders to sell stocks. The sharp rally
at the close in some stocks indicated
that the selling had been partly for
short account.
Another professional party, when
they perceived that the shorts were at
tempting to cover, endeaVOred to mark
up prices upon them. This seemed to
be the motive for the rapid advance Of
33s in National Railroad of Mexico pre-
terred, which was without other ex-
PLANTATION. Amalgamated Copper and
United States Rubber stocks moved
upwards at the last, and there was
sudden recovery in Delaware and Hud-
son. The late hardening in the market
brought some prices slightly above last
night and reduced the net changes in
all cases to small proportions. The
very tone of the market in the early
part of the day was partly due to the
sympathetic effect on the relapse of rs
in St. Louis and San Francisco, and
the w Weakness of Rock Island in face of
reiterated assertions that the amalgl-
nation of the companies had been COM
pleted.

There was some ground for suppos-
ing that these transactions were
forced for the purpose of producing
bad effect upon sentiment The foreign
exchange market continued very
strong, owing to the continued demand
for money in London in connection
with the Transvaal loan subscription,
and it is believed that some gold may
go from here to London direct next
week. The market closed firm at the
rally, but very dull.

An evening newspaper describes an al

the busiest, most capable and most formid-
able men one now encounters in business
are nearer sixty than any other average
age. Perhaps this means that the man who
has approximated or attained the age of
