NEW YORK, March 26.—The statement that the Maine B report would be fully brought out a full attendance on the Stock Exchange to-day. There were animated groups about all the active stocks when the market opened. The feverishness of the forelgn m. kets and the fairy tale that Spain had de- clared war which was circulated about the exchange gave momentum to the down-hill movement. Falirly large margins were swept away and large concessions in values ensued on every considerable offering. A quarter of an hour after the opening the manifest inten- tion of large interests to sustain the list led traders to cover enormous short lines prices bounded upwagd, the shorts frantically bidding.against each other. It scemed likely that houses having vast interests at stake had come to an agreement over night to buy. On the bulge here London was a large seller. After an hour's trading prices were well above Yesterday's close, which was generally at the best prices. The net improvements approxi- mate 2 polnts in the Grangers and exceed 1 per cent in the leading international favorites. The speclalties gained from 1 to 3% points. The trading was on an enormous scale for a Satur- day, the dealings for the short session exceed- ‘ing recent full days’ totals. The week just ended witnessed a vigorous resumption of bear aggression, owing to the development of varfous influential which were utilized to their fullest extent by the advocates of dower values. That their sfforts ‘were ‘signally jsuccessful can be -best fllustrated by a resume of the final prices of a week ago, the comparison reflecting losses in the dividend-paying_stocks of frum 2% to § points and the specialties suffering to the ex- tent of from 6 to 1L objective point of attack, and the extreme weakness of these properties radiated through- out the list, with the Grangers and the prin- cipal international stocks recelving marked at- fention. The Cuban question continucd the overshadowing feature and the various phases of the situation as indicated by the tenor of Washington advices furnished the lever to alternately advance and depress prices. The condition of affairs was augmented by the outcropping of numerous other ' considérations, Which also exerted a marked bearing on the financlal and commercial situation. mar- ket throughout was highly feverish and the ready response to the slightest efforts in favor of either accomnt afforded some of the active interests _an opportunity to make frequen: turns. The speculation at times bordered on the semi-panicky edge. owing to the appar- ent approach of a crisis in international af- fairs. The outpouring of long stock on these occasions was striking evidence of the apathy of the leading interests, the market halting authoritative ard of Inquiry's s grave as predicted | C { was bought up_ for d factors, | The latter group was the | only in the downward plunge on the cessation of traders’ offerings and a disposition to cover at_any price by the shorts. The market then worked gradually upward, but the returning level was invariably selected as a new basis of operations by the bears, and values speedily scrambled to a more pro- nounced lower plane. This process enlivened at times by wild and animated dealing. The trading at other periods was intensely slug- gish, but the contraction in business was only discernible when the market essayed to rise. The attitude of forelgners was regarded with considerable interest and quotations from Lon- don from day to day were eagerly scanned as indicative of sentiment in the leading foreign financial centers. The great bulk of the arbi- | trage operations favored the short account, but evidences that the foreign speculators were di to accumulate moderate lines on vari- ous levels steadled the market and stimulated covering. The unwieldy nature of the short Interest forced the leading active Interests to move prices up sharply, occasionally in order to shake off an undesirable following. The rank usually gmployed by Washington interests very rowly¥ and were ready to swing from side to side as socon as they detected the source and nature of transactions. The leading com- mission houses were persistent sellers and thelr constant liquidation dampened bullish enthu- slasm which, generally speaking, was at a low calls for additional collateral by lenders, was followed by private sales which accelerated the reaction. The bears tested the market fre- quentiy ‘and where evidence of support was lacking a stock was vigorously assailed, The dramatic speech-making in the Senate describing the horrors of the conditions in Cuba and the earnest appeals for intervention by the United States, combined with the an- nouncement that the Spanish torpedo fleet had left the Canary Islands en route for Porto Rico, made the climax of the mid-week's do- velopments. The unfavorable factors enumerated out- weighed numerous healthful Influences, consist- ing of rallroad statements, favorable monetary outlook, encouraging trade advices and the gold Influx, which now aggregates $35,000,000. The bond market suffered in common with but the concessions were less provounced and business was largely cur- ailed.

The result of | the week's changes was to Increase the re serves $,791,425, the total idle cash in bank now footing up $63,851,47.. The banks, there- fore, are in a stronger position in this respect than since the beginning of February, but it | cannot be said that the operations by which | this increase was brought about have been profitable to them. Their loans have fallen | off over $48,000,000 in five weeks and their de- posits have decreased more than $50,000,000. The cash in banis at the close of the current week, however, was just about equal to the total” reserve reported one month ago. The | heavy changes in loans and deposits _have | been due in large part to continued liquidation | and the semi-paralysis which has been creep- | ing over the business and speculative world i sh‘xce‘ the Mah:,eflln’cment. Inless some definite disposition of the Cuban | matter is-made within avkw days one S;.lhe finest. prospective seasons in the history of the | country will have been partiaily ruined. It is only natural that the New York banks should put themselves on the strongest possible foot- ing, since a sudden demand for currency will fall first of all on them, and it must be said that they have risen to the emergency. Their money is under strict controi and_the con- tinued gold imports are adding to their cash reserves from week to week. One bank with a $30,000,000 Teserve, reports over $28 000,000 of the total in specie. The week’s changes have no especial significance other than what has been pointed out in this analysis for nearly a month past. The decrease of $7,110,500 in loans shows that_liguidation still continues' and a loss of 31,845,000 legal tenders reflects pretty accurate- iy the movement toward the Interior. The | s%c, the latter in March Wheat, notwithstand- | previously repogted from California sho | appreciable tmprovement, only a sligh | cash business was done for export. May closed | session and holdings of the banks have expanded $17,000.000 in the last thirty days, but in the same time legal tenders have decreased In almost exactly the same amount. In other words the legal tenders have gone to the interior while im- ports of specie have filled the vacuum. It stands to reason that the money supply ts larger than ever, and were it not for the un- certainty of the political outlook rates would be lower than for months past. As it is, gold imports will likely continue until somethiny definite Is known regarding the future and the profitable employment of this mass of money six months from now presages an interesting state of affairs.
