Tho latent development de-velopment in Mexico depressed American stocks sharply in tho London market before tho opening hero. In tho homo market a sharp attack -wan mado by boar traders at tho outset. Somo of the specialties fell back several polnu. Among the standard shares losses were general, although limited to fraotlona. several months ago tho Mexican situation situa-tion Ugurcd prominently as a factor in tho stock markot, but of lato it haa exerted 11 ttlo lnfluonoo and It was apparent ap-parent that no genuine concern waB felt In tho financial district over the latest developments. Tho markot failed to recover re-cover opening Iossob. but sufficient buying buy-ing appearod at tho lower IovcIb to stay th decllno. and after the first fifteen mlnutea quotations barely varied. Bullish opsratlonn among tho Industrial Indus-trial apeclaltioa were chocked abruptly. Qonornl Motors and American Ico were especially heavy, belnn; affeoted by do-nlala do-nlala of dividend rumors. Gold for Paris. Parlo unexpectedly engaged $2,000,000 &old, bringing up tho total export movo-mont movo-mont to 514,000,000. Blrico early In the year Paris hao been taldns $2,000,000 weekly. A cash loss of nearly J3.000.000, Instead of tho expected small gain, was shown In tha bank etatemont. In Bplto of tho week'fl new flnanclnff thoro v.tis only a small Increase In tho loan account. Tho BurplUB -waa reduced by 53,365,000. Bonds Bhowed an eaalor tendency. Total To-tal sales, par valuo, $1,900,000, United States bonds woro unchangod on call on tho week. Domestic affairs offered spoclal Grounds for tho Irregularity of tho stock market thla week, In addition to the more gon-eral gon-eral Influence of tho check to tho decline de-cline In money rates. . Tho Importance attached to tho eastern freight rates case was made plain in tho weakness caused by the lnterstato commerce commlsidon's order to suspend until Soptomber the 5 per cent advance and in the recovery upon assurances that tho decision might he hastened- Refrain From Buying. Railroads continue to refrain from buying buy-ing steel material pending tills decision. Stocks of companies with largo obligations obliga-tions maturing aro sonsltlvo in tho absence ab-sence of deflnlto arrangomenta to meot thorn. Rollanco .is placed on higher freight rates as a supplement to Improved Im-proved money conditions in restoring railroad credit. Sentiment was encouraged by reports from Washington 3howlng solicitude ovor possible harm to business rccovory from act3 of tho administration. ThlB was shown In tho treatment of the freight advance postponement, in tho criticism of tho proposed Investigation of uncm-employmcnt uncm-employmcnt by tho Industrial commission commis-sion and In tho discussion of tho now trust bills. Affalra In Mexico, which hav exerted slight Influenco during rocont months, were brought into tho foreground once more by tho week's developments. Tho possibility of now complications temporarily tem-porarily unsottlod the securities market. Paris continued to draw gold from New York In splto of tho fall of exchango rates. Tho dopondence of foreign markets mar-kets upon New Tork for this relief was proven when a tentative engagement of gold in London for New York led to a prompt rise in tho private discount rate in London.
