THE MARKETS.
Wall Btreet Review.
Niw York, May 17. The demand tor railroad
alocka which haa nlcn atrength to the market
for a number of daya pa it haa Iwen aatUned
and pricea fell back today, In that department
of the ttCH.k list. Thla la accepU-d In Wall
street as confirmation of the view that the de
mand came from an outatandlng short Interest
In the west and was not bad on any underljInR
condition In tbo companies whose atooka were
affected or In bunlness at larire. Humtrs which
served the purpose of the bulls jesterday con
tinued to circulate, such as that Union raelfle
or l'fnn)lisnla was to secure control of Ilur
llnston, or Atchison Preferred was to receive Us
lull dividend, or new millionaire Interests were
to le represented In Wuwourl Pacific, but all of
these storks were heard with languid Interest
and prices continued to drop. In the lndustrl.il
list the losses In prices wire not such a passive
matter. Vmrrlcan Tobacco waa under severe
pressere all day on account of circumstantial
assertions of the organization of formidable com
petition. Tho stock lost over six points, closing
at the lowest. Sugir snfered from reports tint
the trade war was to awuiue a more acute stage.
People's (its continued under pressure by the
professional clement amongst tho traders. An
advance in the price of copper was responsible
for the sharp rise In Anaconda, and had some
sentimental effect on the stocks of other metal
ccmpanles. Tho stocla In that group were dull
and the movement very uncertain, the news
concerning the Iron trade continuing generally
unfavorable. Total sales, 437,100.
The bond market was decidedly dull, but
showed some advances. Total sales par value,
$1,IH,000. V. S. tends were unchanged in bid
quotations.
