Exceedingly Irrcsrular and Confused Movement All Day. NEW TORK. May 15 Operations in the stock market continued to be left largely to professional liands today, the movement being exceedingly Irregular and confuFed all day General speaking; it could be falrlj wild that railroad stocks were Ann to strong, while the . industrial v,ere -weak. This distinction was obvious at the opening of the market, and the fiays trading tended rather to emphasize it, except that the demoralizing tendencies in the ateel industrials ultimately affected the whole list, and dragged back even the strongest of railroads. There was a brief show of strength after the opening by Tederal Steel and Steel i Wire, probably on coverings of shorts, sold on je terda's break, but in the late trading three stocks, as well as others of the group, fell to the lowest. The declines ranged all the way from 1 to nearly 0 points, the latter for Ten nessee Coal. There was no definite news to account for the weakness, but rumors were plentiful that dividends would be reduced or passed, -and that further deep cuts were- pend ing In the price of the output of the largest competitor of the steel companies whose etpvks are dealt In on the stock exchange. The declaration of a first dividend on the common stock of National Tube, and the reports of the reopening of sundry mills, had no effect In checking the decline. Among the .notable exceptions to the weak cess in the Industrial department were the group of Nw York City stocks. Including Aaedc&a lcc Consolidated Gas led ia. the rise of S points, and the local tractions r-' rpoaded. A meeting of the directors of tho American Sugar Refining Company caused an "uneasy demand from the shorts, which lifted the .stock at ono time 2H- 1 the railroad list, i Burlington continued In good demand at an ex treme advance of 1. in spite of denials of the nrrecred refunding plan. The granger group and Western stocks were most benefited In sympathy, and showed good advances. In spite of reports of declining traf fic, both East and West bound. There was said to be large buying for account of an out standing short interest In the West In the rail road list. The relief to the London money market afforded by the receipts of Russian gold aroused tho hope that no Immediate" demand would be made on New Tork by London for gold. This rcas -an Influence ia the da'3 strength In our stock market, though It is ex pected that further -shipments will be made to Paris by Thursday's steamer. The statement of the April foreign trade of the United States, disclosing a maintenance of extraordinary favorable conditions has ele vated somewhat the evidences of continued re action In Interior trade. The market closed heavy and unsettled by the break In the steel lnaustrlals; the railroad stocks holding only a part of their gains. The bond market -was not active, but prices were well sustr'ned. Total sales, par value, $1,075,000 United States refunding 2s, when issued, advanced per cent, and the 2s and new 4s per cent In the bid price. BONDS. U.

Cheap money also helped funds. Amer icans began rather sanguine, but died out for half an hour, then strengthened until tho close. New Tork accepting the rise and sup porting the higher prices. The finish was at the top. Business was decidedly brisker than lately, even the public buying slightly. Tlntos rallied on Paris buying.

The War De partment has maSe public simultaneously liere'and In Havana the schedules of the revised Cuban tarlfff which go Into effect tlune 15 next The revlseay tariff, it Is cal culated, -will slightly Increase the revenues of the island, which were last year ap proximately $16,000,000. The primary purpose o the revision of the Porter tariff Is not to DrOvide asrainst a deficiency of, revenues but to stimulate .Importations from the united btates. 'xae Ltrade between Cuba and the United States has not augmented elnce the American occupation, and even tie application of the Porter tariff was not attended by any heneftt in the .increase of, the aggregate volume of. trade. Of the Imports into Cuba less than 50 per cent originate ia the United States. The Porter tariff made cuts in the old Spanish tariff, and in the beginning atten tion was directed to food products. It was felt to be just that these necessaries of life should sustain as little 'tax as possible. Bo cattle "were admitted at a duty of $1 per head, and food stuffs generally paid only IS per cent ad valorem. The military authorlUes In charge of the Island vere surprised to witness the effect of. these changes. The prices of food did not go down in Cuba; several staples at least actually advanced. "Lack of competition and conservatism, are the reasons assigned for this- state of. affairs. There may be a remedy In reciprocity with the United States. At any rate the tariff revisers felt that they could do little to meet this strange situation and rec ommended that the few changes they submit be tested for another year before more radical measures are employed. Th,ere(ore, about the only important re duction mado by them in the food schedules is in the duty on salt cod and stock pbh (largely consumed in Cuba), which Is reduced from $2 to $1, and in the duty op wheat flour, reduced from $1 30 to $L The duty on cattle is raised from $1 to $2 per head.. There are many other chinges in the other schedules, howo er, that are belleA ed to be of greater importance to American exporters doing business with Cuba. These changes relate largely to manufactured articles-. - "ChlcaRo Labor Affairs. CHICAGO. May" 15.
