NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Feb. 8—The stock market suc- cumbed to the Cuban scare to-day in spite of London’s indifference to the fears reflected by the New York exchange of a rupture between the United States and Spain. The strength of American securities in London was partly accounted for by the process of the periodical ement of accounts on that exchange. were bid up sharply there before the opening here and resulted In a sympathetic rise in International securities at the opening. ot only was this the case, but when heavi- ness developed here London was a liberal buyer &t the decline and was a very important factor in sustaining prices during the forenoon ses- elon. Americans were in demand n other for- eign bourses and from Frankfort comes the ort that they were the features and the taining force of the market. Denver and Grande preferred was the favorite with London and it was able to hold a substantiar the close, a conspicucus exception in Early weakness developed in the TUnion Pacific stocks and Norfolk and West- ern preferred was keenly affected by profit tak- ing. The early weakness of the market had been to a Jarge extent caused by the strength in special stocks when the news was received of the resolutions proposing intervention in Cuba which were introduced in the Senate. Thie broke the market in thé final hour and reeulted in the Maine was sent to Havana. The covering of shorts made but a feeble rally and there was a disposition to liquidate before the close. The money market weakened appreciably to- @ay, call loans being made af 1 per cent.

NEW YORK, Feb. S$.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here are quiet during the progress of tha settlement, which shows a larger account than expected, notably in Americans, where the contangoes are 4 to 5 per cent. They would be higher but for the comparative scarcity of stocks. After a distinctly firm tone during the day Americans and Grand Trunks closed under the best. Argentines were lower on the rise in the gold premium. Money in India is get- ting very tight again, owing to the movement | of the crops. | _ The net personal estate of Walter Burns has been declared at £794,000.

Beyond the heaviness of the Northwest receipts there was nothing particularly striking in the early news, but the continued heavy arrival at the big recetving points was sufficient to cause weakness at the start, though no selling of consequence was done. Soon after the open- ing quite a good demand developed and from a condition of dullness the market took on quite a degree of activity. Shorts covered quite freely and the May price advanced to %il4ec. There was gome attempt to break the mar- ket at that point and with some degree of success, the price being forced back to $4%e, There but it quickly rebounded again to $oic. it hung for a while. Moderate purc foreign account were reported by New and private cables stated that millers were £00d buyers, especially of near-by dellveries, and that stocks were decreasing rapidly. A: Liverpool ~stocks are already exceptionail small, this had considerable effect. It was re- ported that Leiter soid in Liverpool yesterday 400,006 bushels of spring wheat which he had taken in exchange for May wheat in New York at 16 cents less than the cush price. Mr. Leiter would neither affirm nor deny the report. After the noon hour the market again became active. New York reported forty-three boat loads there and at outports for export, and when these figures were posted ihere was a zeneral rush to buy, The market had been gradually creeping up, getting to e before the final crash came, but the demand became 50,07Eent I the last few minutes’ ¢ was reached. closed strong at ke, P 08 - mmrlt orn was moderately act closed R bigher, — o o nd fnn, May Oate ‘Were slow and easy at the start, but soon became firm and remained so.
