NEW YORK, May 27.-Business on the stock exchange today was dull and perfunctory, heavy tone pre- dominating. Professional operators availed themselves of the slim at tendance due to approaching holidays to effect additional depression of prices. Their maneuvers were ac celerated by other developments of an adverse nature. These included sharp unsettlement in foreign ex- change. continued firmness of money rates and the cautious or qualified views of leaders of industry.
 The one negatively favorable fea- ture of the session was the declara- tion of the regular dividend on Bald win Locomotive. This was without visible effect upon other equipments or kindred issues.
 Declines of one to three points were registered by majority of the seasoned as we'll as volatile issues. and rails of all classes were under in termittent pressure, not excepting the high priced coalers. Sales amounted to 535, 900 shares
 The break in foreign remittances extended to six cents in sterlfNz bills and from 10 to 60 points in conti- mental rates, especially Dutch French, Belgian, Italian. Swiss. Span ish and Scandinavian.
 For want of more plausible ex- plantation dealers here ascribed the reaction in British bills to heavy sell ing by German commercial interests In London from which center large transactions in dollar or American exchange were reported. It is not unlikely that speculative operations entered largely into the situation.
 The money market followed exactly its course of the previous day. Cal loaps opening at z per cent until the final hour. when a befated inquiry forced the rate to 7k per cent Changes in the irregular bond mar ket, including Libertys and mos other domestic issues, were unim portant Foreign issues were in. clined to ease. although subscription. | to the new French loan were esti
 mated at 90 per cent of the whole Total sales, par value. 1,175,000.

FOR LIBERIA
Story Of Sharpers Defrauding Unsus-
tc..-...l, pectina Negroes: =.

&c c..-.,,st' pecting Negroes: -.
One. of a party. of men sitting on the
bandstand in Confederate park a few
afterpoons, ago. told a joke about a
negro preacher advising his people to
move to Liberia and grow up with the
country, relates the Fort Mill Times
of Thursday. Then another member
of the party said he could tell a story
of an attempted exodus Of negroes
from this section to Liberia in the
spring of 1888 that was no joke, es-
pecially to the negroes themselves.
1.-TWO men, one white, the other a
mulatto, came to this section In Janu-
ary or February 1885," said the speak
er, land aroused great interest among
the negroes of rural communities over
the possibilities Of wealth and content
ment offered their race In Liberia. 1t
was, they said, the negro's paradise,
where little effort had to be put forth
to earn a livelihood. There the gov
ernnent was in the hands Of the neg
roes and no white man was allowed in
the country. Cotton, fruits and vege-
tables were the chief products of the
country and these could be grown in
abundance and marketed at q good
profit with a minimum Of labor.
Everybody in Liberia took life easy
and had plenty Of time TO sleep and
otherwise enjoy life to it's fullest.
MANY negroes in the rural sections
Of Lancaster county and Union coun-
ty, N. c.. believed the stories told
them by the white man and. the null
alto of the wonderful country Of Afri-
ca, and when they were advised to sell
everything they had except their
clothing and get ready to leave Fort
Mill and Pineville, N. c., on a certain
day in the spring of 1888 for Liberia
at IS per head, several hundred took
the advice of the strangers. An ex-
cursion train, they were told, would
pass through to take them over the
first lap of the journey to their new
home. There must have been at least
500 negroes who paid the swindlers
SIS each and came to Fort Mill and
Pineville to board the train.
zone two, three. four days passed
and the train failed to arrive. Then
negroes became restive and sought
council Of citizens of Fort Mill and
Pipeville. They were told that there
was nothing to the trip to Liberia,
that they were the victims Of, swind-
lets,. Finally the negroes saw the light
and began to. dispense. Some went
haek,yto-their, cold- homes; while still
others, remained around Fort Mill and
Rfneyilie. .e Efforts were made to catch
the white man and .mullqtto who had
defrauded them, but nothing was
heard Of ether 49,.

half the nations needs, was to be
sacrificed to aid Cuba. They said
there was no disposition to injurc
