NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, March 4.—Prices of stocks show losses of from 1 to 3 per cent to-day on a very small business. The market was quite inanim- ate at times and what business there was con- centrated in a few leading stocks. All o(] these stocks showed weakness, but the down- | ward course was pursued in a very desultory manner until the final hour, when the bears | made a determined drive. They carried the general list to the lowest of the day, but cov- ering In_special stocks induced some sharp rallies. Higher quotations from London liited | the level of prices at the opening, but the fall was practically uninterrupted afterwards. Efforts to rally the market were feeble and unsuccessful. Union Pacific preferred was de- pressed all day and closed over 2 points lower. The grangers all figured largely in the seli- ins. ‘A large part of thls selling was known to be for Washington account and inquiry wi very Keen for news ta account for it. Signifi- cant news was scarce and in its absence num- erous rumors were set afloat, one to the effect that purchases of warships abroad had been made by the United States Government. The renewed depression of Spanish securities abroad and the news of the purchase of two warships by the Spanish Government helped on the feel ing of uneasiness over the Cuban question. Not- withstanding the hardness of London money rates and the tendency to relaxation in the local requirements, foreign exchange went lower again to-day, demand sterling falling to $4 843 Nearly all the $2.800,000 in gold which will start for New York to-morrow comes from Paris, and no small part of it is sald to represent French payment for American se- curities bought in London during the recent disturbances in Paris. The bond market was listless and heavy to- day In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, §2,625,000. United States new 4s and the old 45 coupon were 3 lower bid to-day.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, March 4.—At the opening and for a short time after there was a lively specu- lative demand for July wheat and the market dieplayed considerable firmness. Ae usual, Leiter was at the bottom of the strength, the ordering of 540,000 bushels more of his wheat for shipment to the seaboard—this making nearly 3,000,000 bushels since this movement be- gan—being responsible for a good deal of buy- fng. Another factor was the signing of the decree reducing the Spanish import duties on grain. Opening trades In July were made at | 914@%1%e, a shade above yesterday's closing price, and enough support materialized to send the price up to 91%c in a short time. That proved to be the high point of the day. Out- side of the items of news mentioned everything tavored the selling side of the market, and this {act soon had its effect. Liverpool was the es- seclally discouraging feature. That market showed 3%@%d decline. Argentine shipments were the heaviest thus far this season, being reported at 1,640,000 bushels. This array of bear, news: gradually brought sellers into_the market, and the llquidation, light at first, graduaily grew heavier, prices slowly declin” ing. In the meantime another factor had en- tered the market in the shape of selling of May by the elevator interests, in which Ar- mour was especially prominent. His houses made no secret of the selling, and the freedom of thelr offerings brought others to the selling side. Opening prices of May were l4c higher at 31064, An irregular decline to 1 06% fol lowed. Then came a slight reaction, but prices soon got back to §1 6% again. July by that time bad declined to %0%c. For some time the market hesitated at those figures, but the liquidation of May finally took all the remain- ing courage out of the bulls and the market was left to shift for itself. During the last hour offerings became quite heavy, both in May and July, and prices slid off rapidly, May etting as low as $1 04 and July declining to §0c 'shortly before the ' close. = Covering. by shorts with good profits then caused a little better feeling and slight improvements fol- lowed, May_rallylng to $1 04% and July to 904 @50%c. Those were the closing prices, Corn was easier on a moderately active mar- ket. May closed %c lower. Oats were remarkably ~strong during the morning. May closed a shade lower. rovigions were heavy from the start. Most of the seiling was credited to a prominent packer, but offerings were quite general and the market, which opened lower In spite of firm hog prices, declined steadily. At the close CEOBISS (CROCRH, May pork was 20c lower, May lard 10c lower S | S e m. % | and May riba 10 lower.

BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL REVIEW. NEW YORK, March 4.—Bradstreet's Finan- clal Review to-morrow will sa: Farly in the week speculation developed a tendency to recover from the depression which in the preceding week had registered a sharp | break in prices. Tbe relations of this Govern- ment with Spain have continued to be the prominent factor in the situation, and though there has been a subsidence of fear in regard to war the tendency is to walt for develop- ments, and there has been an evident suscepti- bility to bear attacks, one of which, made on Friday, caused a sharp recession and a wealk close. The public parted with its speculative holdings on the break, and the market has been to an increased extent In the hands of professional operators. The investment market has also shown a susceptibility t> the same class of influences, and while railroad bonds have been firm and recovered moderately from the depression, the transactions in that depart- ment of the market are very much reduced in volume. Such improvement In values as the stock list has exhibited seemed largely due to covering by the short interest and a rapid manipulated rise in prices at the beginning of the week appears to have pretty well elim- inated the bears. Large interests have extended ‘some support to the markets and stocks seemed to have passed rapidly into strong hands, though the disposition has been to walt for developments regarding Spain and Cuba rather than to re- sume active manipulation. The market wa greatly relleved by the easing off of call loan rates. Little attention was given to the accom- panying hardening of exchange and the sus. pension of gold imports, with a total move- ment of about $5,800,000 gold from the other side. London, though still inclined to buy moderately at’ the beginning of the week, has since realized moderately on the stocks which they purchased on the break. The gratifying character of the news about general business and the directly favorable character of railroad earnings create’an underlying bullish senti- ment, and the ‘‘street”” at large shows more or less confidence in the ability of the market ta_respond to a favorable development in the forelgn situation, though cautious and re- stricted character of the trading by profes- sionals has caused narrow and frequent fluc- tuations in prices.

Mining stocks were rather weaker agaln, though the decline was insignificant. The usual good business was done on the Stock and Bond Exchange, and there were no violent fluctuations in anything. The Daly-West Mining Company of Utah has elected the following officers and direc- tors for 1898: John J. Daly, president; O. J. Salisbury, vice president; Dr. Allen G. Fowler, secretary and treasurer; Ezra Thompson and ‘W. S. McCormick. The manager’'s report for 1897 states that ore valued at $53,000 was sold. Owing to delayed bullion returns the Santa Rosalia Mining Company has not yet declared a dividend for the current month. The com- pany has paid at the rate of 10 cents per share monthly for quite a time.

The Victor Gold Mining Company of Colo- rado paid a dividend of 25 cents per share, amounting to $0,000, on March 1. Investors who have watched the transac- tions on the Stock and Bond Exchange of late have been surprised at the remarkable progress made by this institution during the past year. It is becoming to San Francisco what the Stock Exchange is to New York. Its sales thus far this year amount to 91,106 shares, against 40,640 during the same time in 1397, or an Increase of over 100 per cent.
