MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS AND BONDS. EiiKnKrmciit of Oold for Kxnort the Only New Development. n?t.ir vnm: inn. "rtT.nut week's de pressions In tho stock markot wero fortl lled today by the engagement of $2o0.0W of gold for export. This -was practically tho only now development In the stock market, which continued In Its rule of dullness nnd professionalism. Prices aro generally lower on tho day. though not as low ns they t..,r.. iinritiir i in. MeHslnn. The continued discussion of tho affairs of tho trolley syn dlcato and occasional changes In tho plans of tho adjustment committee keep up tho disturbing effect of that episode. Tho spe cial heaviness of the Atchison's and of Now York centrni today was uuo to uio ilaM.'itlHfiictlnii felt tn the capital expan sion and now bond Issues with prior claims over stocks. Tlio news irom :no west ol much needed rain and snow In tho winter wheat belt was without effect. Reports of threatened damago to winter wheat from lack of molsturo havo been offered ns causes of some of tho recent depression of rnllroad stocks. Considerable Interest attaches to tho foreign situation Just at present owing to tho signs of speculative revival nbroad. It is evident that tho long liquidation In Germany has now pro gressed to a point where accumniulated cap ital Is becoming burdensomo again, but tho ardor of inquiry by German capitalists seem to bo directed towards their own public loans and to some extent to tho re vived Knlllr market In London. Tho Lon don market Is obviously discounting with greater faith than In a long time and thu end of tho Boor war, but their interest In speculation also turns townrd South Afri can mining securities tind toward homo railways, which hegln to show signs of recovory in curnlngs nnd promise pt divi dends. Thero Is even organized effort to Induco American cnpititl In common to embark In Katllrs. Theso symptoms sug gest tho Inquiry whether tho next revival of nctlvo speculation will not bo shifted to foreign mnrKots and foreign securities. American Tobacco sold todny at 300 nolnts nnd there wero advances of 1 to 5 points in tno omer touacco hiocks, tno uiucoso stocks, Metropolitan Street Railway, American Smelting nnd Brooklyn Union Gns, but this did not affect tho general downward tendency of stocks.

A heavy snow storm made tho cattlo appear In bad form and nlso made mem sen ramcr unevenly, ns is very ,ipt to bo thf enso under such conditions. Everything desirable, however, was out of first hands In good hunson. Receipts Included a llbornl proportion o conlfed steers, nnd somo of them wero of nrottv eood nunlltv. Uuvers took hold In good shape and paid steady to strong prices for all desirable grades. The commoner cattle did not movo as readily nnd could not do quoiea any moro man stcany wuu the close of last week. Thero was also conrldcrnblo life to the cow trade this mornlnrr. nnd buyers ware all after dcBlrablo grades. The market on such kinds could safely be nuoted steady to strong and active. .The commoner gradci wero not n quite as good demand, nut stilt they sold at Just about steady prices and practically everything wns out of first nann in gooa season. Thero wai very little change noticeable In the prices paid today for bulls, vtal calves and stags. Tho demand was good for tho better grades, but common kinds wero neglected. Tho stocker and feeder trado was rather dull today, probably owing to tho fact that speculators wero afraid that tho storm would keep buyers at horrif. Tho better grades, however, sold at right closo to steady prices, but anything on tho com mon order wns very hard to innvo at any price Representative sales: BEEF STEE'RS. No. Av. It. No. Av.
