EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. uesday, snow probably showers. vicinity—bair Tuesday;: NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—To-day's market for stocks suffered the burden of realizing sales and from the bear pressure to the recrudes- cence of the Cuban scare. There were special elements of weakness in addition. The Union Pacific securities were heavy on account of the announced determination of the govern- ment to cperate the Kansas Pacifi under a recelvership and to postpone the sale of that property. The Kansas Pacific consols opened off 3% per cent on the strength of this, but the buying at the des e was very heavy and aggressive, and reassuring reports were given out that this security was not likely to be deprived of Its right of exchange with the reorganized Union Pacific securittes. This ap- parently falled to rally the stocks of the com- pany and they were heavy all day, the pre- ferred going off at one time 1%c and the mmon a point. Missouri Pacific showed a re- ence of its recent weakness and declined at one time a point below Saturday's close. Lake Shore, New York Central, Northern Pa- | cific preferred, and other recent favorites showed the effects of a continuation of profit- taking. The coalérs and the grangers were in the main heavy, Northwest being an ex- ception. Northwest preferred showed a gain of 3% over the last transaction. Quite a number of stocks were conspicuous for very vigorous movements. Was notably the case with Metropolitan Street Raliway, which was at one ti 5% above Saturday’'s close, but W reacted 1%. Norfolk and Western preferred was quite Strong all day, and ad- vanced at one time 3%, reacting a fraction on profit-taking. Michigan Central aisc renewed its interrupted advance, and i8 1% higher for the day. There were some sharp gains also in the usually inactive high-priced securities. Th feverish and unsettled condition of the local gorporations was noticeable in the closing deal- ngs. Although the stock market was not lack- ing In activity and interest, the bond depart- ment continued to absorp a large share of attention and to show great strength. There were some flve separate single transactions in blocke of a par value of $100,000 or over. Three of these were in the Atchison adjust- ment fours. the total dealings in which footed up for the day $1,097,000. The recovery in Kansas Pacific consols to 11033 brought out a block of $100,000, which was tgken by one Gealer. There was a $125,000 block of the new MMERCIAL WORLD. Do C ¢ 1sts.

BOSTO! phone, 2 tral, NEW, YORK, Feb. 7.—The Evening Post's | London financial cablegram says: The stock markets were quiet and featureless to-day gen- erally, pending the settlement in carry-over mines, but the tone was steady.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Chiefly on account of an early display of strepgth at Liverpool, open- ing bids for May Wheat were at figures a shade above Baturday’'s closing prices, May sturting at 95@95%2. Liverpool showed %Gid advance at 1:3) p. m. Besides thls, world's shipments showed a considerable falling off, the total for last week being 5,513,000 bushels, compared with 7,346,000 bushels the week pre- | vious. Another feature which helped In the opening firmness was the strong cargo market at London, a sale of Oregon Wheat being re- ported at the equivalent of $115% a bushel. Liverpool warchouse stocks also showed a re- duction of 156,000 bushels for the week. News bearing on the future crops here and In for- elgn countries was so favorable, however, that a selling movement started alm)st immediately after the opening, and the pressurs finally be- came go hard that the marke( for some time lost all appearance of strength. May dropped to 4%c in a few minutes, and though sca- board reports of a good forelgn Inquiry caused a few of the more timid shorts to cover, which sent the May price back to MiH@ss price dropped immediately after this demand was satisfied to 84l5c. California reported an abundance of much-needed rain. Indian crop prospects, reported as unfavorable Saturday, were said to be splendid to-day, and Australa, it was sald, would have more Wheat for ex- port than expected. Kosare cables stated that both receipts and shipments of Argentina Wheat were increasing. Northwest receipi were heavy.

Nevertheless, autonomy has not been accepted, and the armies of Gomez and Garcia are still unconquerable, and there is no sign whatever that Captain-General Blanco will meet with any more suc- cess in the field than did his two pre- decessors. On the other hand, there is no reason to believe that the insur- | gents can possibly drive the Spaniards on the island. They can hold on and they can prevent Cuba from again be- coming a producer of Spanish revenue, while Spain is evidently becoming tired. The Spanish friends of Weyler have broken out in riots in Havana, which have made war seem very near to this country. Under the circum- | stances it is not strange that Ameri- cans engaged in the Cuban insurrec- tion should believe that Spain will quietly drop the island in a fewmonths. But a good deal still depends on us.- Harper's Weekly. R — MARK TWAIN AND HIS DEBTS. The Publishers’ Weekly learns that | Mark Twain has pald off three-fourths of the indebtedness of C. L. Webster & Co., the publishing firm of which he was a member. The creditors offered to settle on a fifty-per cent basis. Twenty-eight per cent was realized from the assets. Presently Mr. Clem- ens brought the payments up to 50 per cent, and not long ago he paid 25 per cent more. He is quoted as saying that it will be three years before he can publish another book, and possibly the remnants of his debts will hang on un- til then. Meanwhile, however, the books he has already written are work- ing for him, some of them to very good ‘Harper’'s Weekly. THE CALL CALENDAR. ¥ebruary, 1598. % | = Pl Moon,” S Feb 6.
