April 2—News having an im- portant bearing on the all-absorbing question of this country's relations with Spain was ex- ceedingly scarce to-day, as Congress was not in session. The absence of developments left the situation much as it was when trading ceased | yesterday ,afternoon, and when all classes of | owners were offering stocks for sale on the | presumption that war with Spain was in- | cvitable. Yet prices show net gains to-day, | extending to over a point in many cases, and - the extreme recoveries from the lowest show | variations which compare favorably with the violent changes of last Monday and Wednes- day. The mariét was exceedingly feverish and | erratic during all of the two hours’ session, in spite of the varying news. Most of the activity was based on the supposition ‘‘the absence of all symptoms might itself be a symptom. This uncertain state of affairs naturally begot an inclination to leave contract obligations out- standing. Most of the existing contracts on the exchange are based on short sales of stocks, and the uncertainty found expression in buy- ing to cover. The timidity of the sharts was | lost upon the bears.

They saw powerful support offered to stem the downward tendency at the open- ing. The analogy was so close to the course | of things last_Saturday that it had an unset- | tling effect. Important commission business | with Washington connections were the instru- | | ments used for much of the buying. This gave ance, whether well founded or only | designed to seem so, of orders to buy stocks, | possibly on information obtained in Washing- | ton on some favorable turn in the prospect of affairs. This development or maneuver was not 1t ts not improbable also | that some of the buying was due to that class | of Investors who come into the market to buy | stocks at a low range of prices for the actual return in yearly income. London was a buyer to some extent here, in spite of the significant weakness of Spanish 4's on the foreign exchanges. It is evident that foreign exchanges look to New York for an initiative for the present. Badly stated, it seems remarkable that there should be a sharp net advance in the prices of securities on the Stock Exchange in the week which witnessed the publication of the report of the Maine Board of Inquiry and the apparent abandon- ment of diplomatic negotiations looking to the conservation of peace with Spain. The fact is that prices are from 1 to 4 points higher in all of the points that make up the bulk of the business on the Stock Exchange. This was due in part to technical conditions in the mar- ‘V ket. When the bears attempted to take their | profits on Monday by buying stocks at the low | level induced by the presentation of the Malne Board of Inquiry report they found themselves forestalled by a powerful bull clique, who had secured a large part of the availabie floating supply of the stocks. Not for years has there been seen #o sudden an advance in prices as in Monday's bear panic. The bulge in prices seemed to have been designed originally by some of the large bear operators themselves the purpose of shaking off some of their undesirable following by forcing them to cover their contracts and thus leave the way | open for a further decline. The big bears were | supposed to have been caught in thelr own trap, and it was generally believed Monday night the shorts were practically eliminated in | the_market. Later developments, especlally | on Wednesday, showed that there was a large | outstanding short Interest, and the belfef pre- vailed ut the end of the week that this short interest was still large. The sensitiveness of | the market to the faintest sucgestion of a peaceful adjustment of the Cuban question goes to confirm the bellef. The demands on New York from other domestic centers for | money showed a marked increse and the losses in currency in the latter part of the | week are probably not adequately reflected in the banks' returns. Those losses are shown | to be more than offset by receipts of imported | specfe. But the calling of loans yesterday and | the marking up of call loans to & ner cent In- dicates that the banks are disposed to take measures to strengthen themselves. Estimates and opinions very widely as to how far the | imports of gold, which now amount to over $40,000.000. from Eurbpe. have been drawn against Cuban grain and cotton bills, and how much of the accumulated exchange against ins in New York as collateral sans.

LONDON MARKET., NEW YORK, April 2—The Evening Post's London financlal cablegram says: The stock market here opened flat to-day, but there was no panic. The condition was apathetic, with a certain amount of nervousness In places. The account is generally really too small to war- rant anvthing like a panic. The chief ap- prehension is in the money market, on fears The Bank of England rescrve | last week was the lowest since 1593. War risks at Lloyds are nominally quoted at 40 per cent, but such transactions are merely of & betting nature, not genuine business. Americans were flat, but above the New York parity all day.

CHICAGO, April 2—Wheat opened almost at call price, July starting at »3%@83%c, against vesterday’s closing price of 82%@3c, and sell- ing up in a short time to #4%c. The demand from both local and Southwestern shorts was the most active in some time, and a good deal of difficulty was experienced in covering lines of any importance, as offerings were scattered, and sharp competition resulted. The heavy cash sales for export and domestic milling purposes during the past week, which was the feature of yesterday's strength, was evidently still n the minds of traders. Another factor | was the sharp advance at Liverpool, where prices were about 1d above yesterday's. This strength, reports of further heavy sales at the board and & continued large demand from the Continent lent strength to the theory which has gradually been growing that the actual outbreak of hostilities would mean an {mme- diate advance in prices, and it was generaily belleved that Liverpool was acting on this theory. The trade was much influenced by the large business done in low-grade wheat yester- day, one firm disposing of abou 500,000 bushels. ¥ ‘s engagements were reported equally A slight decline followed the advance 1o Sitc, holders letting go a littie more freely. Bull offerings were snapped up so quickly that after sagging to Si%c the market began to climb again, and did not stop until X5c had been bid and accepted. There the mar- ket held for some time, and a large busmness | was done at that figure. Reallzing resuited in a gradual decline in the price, July getting down to Sdlc, where it closed. Before the crowd left the pit, however, ss%c was bid. Corn was firm and a good business was done. Shorts were large buyers all the day, commis- | sion houses doing most of the selling. May closed %@ic higher. | Oats were more active than usual. Shorts were the best buyers. May jarly trading In provisions was marked by advances, but realizing caused a general iine from the top.

NEW YORK, April 2.—The Financier says: The statement of the Assoclated Banks of New York city for the week ending April 1 shows an increase of §1,869,325 In excess reserve, but it is evident that.the gold imported to date does not show in the totals. Stnce the present movement began there been received in New York over $29,000,000 in specie, but the specie increases, as reported by the banks since the first receipts, are less than $22,000,000. This, it should be stated, is inclusive of domestic receipts. The operations of the week were nct widely different from what had been antici- pated. Loans show a further shrinkage of $1,317,200, due to general liquidation in Stock Exchange circles and the sale of sterling ex- change collateral, while deposits decreased $3,413,700. The shrinkage in deposits probably represents, in part, withdrawals by interior banks, since the movement of currency is once more against this center, but the loss of $4,250,- 700 in legal tenders appears to be in excess of the known shipments to country banks. . The decrease of $3,413,700 in deposits lowered the reserve requirements $853,425, and this, added to the gain of $1,015,900 in cash, makes the expansion in excess reserve as reported above. The banks are on a very solid footing. Thelr business has been narrowed to close lim- its and the cash reserves have Increased in proportion. Counting the gold now in ship- ment and the larger amounts which can be obtained without trouble they are prepared to meet emergencles. Future money quotations depend on this week's developments in Con- gress, but it s assuring to know that the chances of & squeeze in rates have been mini- mized to a large extent by the appropriations already made. Any rapid advances are bound to bring additional and heavier gold imports, as the interor banks have en at least $20,000,000 from New York institutions. It is interesting to note that the lawful reserve of the national banks, according to the state- ments to the Comptroller on February 1S, were 10,000,000 heavier than on December 15, and 1597 crop, 17@1sc. that the percentage of reserve of the country banks was no less than 34.28 per cent. The | sack; Dried Depper: | per_sack; Garlic, 5@5%c per Ib; Cucumbers, average cash reserve of the entire national system was 33.23 per cent. but this has In- creased In the last six weeks. The banks, in brief, are unusually well supplied with money. FOREIGN MARKETS.

In this book the iniquitous conduct of the public functionaries, and even of the sovereign, were censured severely. The book created greal indig- nation, and the offender was at once taken into custody. After being tried in a summary way he was condemned to eat his own words. A scaffold was erected in a public square, the imperial provost, the magistrates and the phy- sicians of the Czar attending, the book was separated from the binding, and the margin cut off. The author was then served, leaf by leaf, by the pro- vost, and was obliged to swallow this unpalatable stuff on pain of the knout, more feared in Russia than death. As soon as the medical gentlemen were of the opinion that he had eaten as much as he could with safety, the transgres. sor was returned to prison. This pun ishment was renewed the following day, until, after several hearty meals, every | leaf of the book was actually swal- lowed. THE CALL CALENDAR. April, 1898, ysu.lllc Tu. Wu;’rh‘ Fr.
