NBW YORK , May S-Liquidation was
qulto general In the stock market today and
material declines prevailed. There was no
news of any Importance and disappointment
at the bad showing of the bank statement
on Saturday seemed to color speculative
sentiment. Sterling exchange was about
steady and money decidedly easier. Such
rallies as took place were fceblo and In
fach Instance brought out further sales ,
leaving the market at the end weak at
about the lowest for the rallwn > s , although
some of the specialties In the late selling
movement retained part of the advantage
derived on nn afternoon ra'ly
Arbitrage broker's purchased some 20000
shares during the forenoon's weakness. The
market continued feverish practically all
day. There was forced liquidation of mar
ginal accounts by commission houses. Some
Important Interests let go stocks on the as
sumption that rather large responsibilities
have been taken by certain underwriting
syndicates. The talk of the formation of a
new Steel trust with a tremendous capi
talization caused uneasiness In. some quar
ters , resulting In declines of over 3 points
In Federal Steel shares and over 2 points
In American Steel and Wire. The Flower
stocks were sold for oth western nnd local
account , Brooklyn Transit losing S'J ; Pee
ple's Gas 3 , and Atchlson preferred li.
The tenor of the crop ad vices was con
flicting , but the Grangers receded smartlv ,
Burlington lo'lng over 2 points and St.
Paul and Northwest about half as much.
Among the coalers Delaware & Hudson nnd
Jersey Central were down over a point
each. New York Central suffered a lors of
2'i In connection with Its unfavorable showIng -
Ing for April compared with last year , al
though this Is partly explainable by the
earlier date at which navigation opened last
yenr. Other weak spots In the railway were
Baltimore & Ohio , Pennsylvania , Union Pa
clllc. Cleveland. Cincinnati , Chicago &
St. LouK Northern Paclflc and Missouri
Pacific. Sugar and Lead were among the
heavy industrials. Amalgamated Copper
sagged on the "curb , " which caused Ana
conda Mining to be without .support. Gen
eral Electric , which rose over a point was
the conspicuous exception to the market's
weakness. The deposit of $10.000,000 in war
rants against the treasury in a local bank
which is managing the transfer of the
Spanish Indemnity was taken to be tha
cause of the easier tone In money , ns this
operation had not been expected until late
this week.
Some sharp declines were effected today
In active bonds , but the higher grade Issues
only receded moderately. Total Sales ,
$2,750,000. United States new 4s , registered ,
and tno old 4s , coupon , advanced > J and
the new 4s. coupon , and the 5s nnd the 3 ? ,
H in the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram : The markets here
were quiet and Irregular today on the eve
of the settlement beginningtomorrow. .
Americans opened flat , hardened s'ightly.
and then relapsed Into dullness New York
refrained from supp rtlng them and the
close wrs heavy at the worst particularly
for Central Paclflc and Union Pacific. Cop
pers were weak. Tlntos opened at 4914 nnd
clo'ed at 49V4 Anacondas opened at if ral
lied on New York buying to 12'8 , and fln-
shed at 12. Utahs were 8'4 It Is said that
insiders are depressing the price in order
to take up all th * shares for the United
States. Bostons were 2 % Silver was harden
on Indian bujing nnd bearish covering.
Money was easier.

CATTLE With one exception , that of .
April 17 , todaj's run of c.ittle was the best |
for a Mondav of the year to date. Stl.l
It was not a ver > large run nor was It any
too large to supply the demand. All told
there were clo ° e to seventy loads of corn
fed steers In the jnrds , all of them on sale
exceotlns only four loads consigned direct
lo a packer. The trade was a llttl slow-
to open and packets first bids were In many
cases lower. It was very apparent , how
ever , that packers wanted the cattle and i
when the trade was once under way It was
fairly active at ptead5 prices , the close
being strong. Everything was sold and
weighed ui > In good ssatcn. As usual the
llEht cattle were the most sought after.
Cows and heifers wer * in good demand
and the offerings changed hands at just
about the same prices as last week , As was
noted several times last week the cow mar
ket has not shown an > material change In
some time Bulls , stags , etc. , sold In just
about the same notches a * last week.
Stock cattle were scarce and In good de
mand , so that the tew here brought good
strong prices. Some good light jearllngs 1
that had not been on feed nnd were pretty
well bred , brought $510 It Is safe to say |
that the stocker market is as high as It has I
been any time this season. Representative
