There was a complete reversal of sentiment on the stock exchange today compared with that of the early part of the week nnd prices sagged almost, continuously. Tho losses nveraged nexrly two per cent. In the standard shares nnd were more pronounced In the specialties, where In one case the decline exceeded four per cent. Trading was dominated by the announced completion of the Maine board of inquiry report, th'e failure of tho Pacific road to reach nn amicable ngrcement upon passenger rates nnd the heavy selling by houses with Wnsh ington connections. The favorable fac tor which had little Influence wat, the continued Influx of gold. The resump tion of uneasiness ns to the general Cuban situation seemed not to be shar ed on the foreign bourses, where Span ish' fours ndvaneed, although this may have been due to tho announcement that the interest payments which had been In doubt, would be made. The tendency of tho market was downward throughout nnd as has been the case of late a large prcpondetance ot the dealings centering In a few of the speculative lines. Total sales were 319,100 shares.
