NEW YORK, May 16.-The stock mar
ket was under pressure again today and
prices gravitated to q lower level in an
irregular way without much resistance.
The depressing causes We're the quite
general diStrust and hesitation reflected
in the business world and the rapid
changes taking place in the resources of
the money market by reason of the heavy
gold outgo. A special aggTa waiting cause
was the renewal of the liquidation in the
Erie stocks with acute weakness result
ing. The severe decline in the earnings
reported by that system gives rise TO
expressed fears for the maintenance of
the dividend on the first preferred stock.
Some sympathetic effect was produced on
other stocks in the coaler group. Della
ware & Hudson had to contend with a
poor quarterly statement of earnings.
Persistent rumorS of governmental pro-
ceedings against the coal combination in
contemplation are an influence on the
group.
1t is probable also, that the interruption
to coal traffic on the lakes by the strike
of VesSelmen enters into calculations on
the outlook for the anthracite traffic. This
special weakness rather more than Off
set the sustaining influence of the f1rmer
The support of this stock carried 1t up
a large fraction early and had cheering
effect upon the general market The
weakness became fairly general in the
midsession trading, and grain and cotton
carriers being especially affected. The
selling of these stocks was based appar-
entity on the weather conditions in the
crop regions. The Saturday bank state
ment and the money outlook We're much
subject to stimulate any advance In stock

Gold Bars Exhausted.

The engagement of gold already made
for export were added to by only $756 600,
of which $780, 900 was for Thursday. But
this limitation was due to the exhaustion
of the subtreasury's supply of gold bars
and the postponement Of $780, 600 OF the
shipment intended for Tuesday until
Thursday was due to the same cause.
The tone of the foreign exchange market
showed no signs of relaxation of the
pressure upon this center for gold. Lon
don, however, reported such a plethoric
condition Of money that funds were prac-
tically unlendable with the call loan down
to ! per cent and two and three months
discounts at 2 per cent. Call loans in
this market advanced and the time money
market was f1rmer. This course of events
ling bills in New York with a resulting
deferment of gold remittances.
The foreign trade statement for April
shows a check to the fall in our exports
of merchandise and the decrease in the
value of imports, which tends to restore
somewhat the trade balance in our favor,
thus relieving the excessive pressure for
exports Of gold. Railroad earnings. re-
ports of traffic officials and a reduction
in the price of copper failed to offer any
help to the stock market, and a banking
failure in Macon had a disturbing effect
upon sentiment. United States Steel pre-

Japanese Assume the Offensive.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 26.-After
four weeks interval, the Japanese
have resumed their advance against |
General Kuropatkin's positions. The
opposing armies are in contact east
and south of Liao Yang, and fighting
has been in progress since Wednes-
day. Advices at hand are too meager
to enable the officials to form correct |
opinion as to whether it will result in |
a general engagement, but the extent |
and character of the JapaneIse move
ment leads to that conclusion. Since
the rains ceased week ago, there |
have been continued intimations that
General Kuropatkin was about to as
sumo the offensive but instead it was
the Japanese who attacked.
A Japanese column, 10000 strong,
was reported on Tuesday to be march
ing up the right bank of the Liao Riv-
er, which would seem to indicate that
three Japanese armies are co-operting
in enveloping three sides of Liao Yang.
From the meager accounts it appears
that General Kuroki has selected Tan.
ziapudzy as a point for his attempt to
drive wedge in Kuropatkin's outer
1efenses at Anping and Liandiansian,
which are situated respectively ten
miles northwest and southwest of Tan
