As a matter of fact, tho composition of tho new Government may lmvo n moro far-reaching effect than Wall street and speculative interests comprehend, rho Improvement hi tho position of. the Government was first reflected in advance In exchange on I'etrogrnd, ruble cables, which sold yesterday at -S.lO, advancing to 23.SO bid, and there wero many Intimations that tho change In tho Government would bo followed by tho placing of a substantial loan in London. This, In turn, must naturally better tho situation of many of the Industrial companies whoso claims on Hussla for goods delivered have been paid for only with tokens of credit In the shapo of bonds or notes of tho Russian Government or agents. Thcso securities must now lie classed as of higher grade, and tho belief today was that they may be disposed of in a shSrt tlmo by n cash settlement of all the claims of our manufacturing concerns In full. This outlook was reflected In an advance of Bethlehem Steel "tV stock to nbovc 120. t'nlted States Steel common mado n gain of 1 points, nnd there wero many other Issues which, In tho early trading, recorded advances of from 1 to 2 points. The railroad question exerted a repressing Influence on the market. There was diminished trading In the bond maiket nnd little Interest was shown In the dealings thcte. Anglo-French fis continued to range from ?2'a to 92, nnd some of the railway Issues shaded off slightly, but the price changes wero without importance. New York Stock Sales lllsh.
