NEW YORK, April 19.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The city is relinquishing all hopes of peace between the | United States and Spain, and considers that war can only be averted by a miracle. Con- sequently there was a heavy tone in all the stock markets to-day, especially for all Paris specialties, the bourse there being demoralized by the continued fall in Spanish 4's, which closed at the lowest, 37. Wonder is expressed ! here that Americans hold their own so well. | Many were restrained from selling too freely by the manner in which New York was ab- sorbing stock. The close was comparatively steady. The view s held in some quarters | that the outbreak of war will stop gold ship- ments to New York because of the high in- | surance premium. Some well-informed people think otherwise, having regard to the fact | that shipments could be made via Canada. | Gold was in stronger demand for New York | BOSTON, to-day. The arrivals of German coin were large and more s coming as the result of the Bank of England's policy, outlined dispatches yesterday. | CLOSE. !

CHICAGO, April 19.—Foreign prices and war cries ruled speculation on the Board of Trade to-day. Wheat was helped by heavy export sales, galning Ic for July and e for May de- liveries and July corn advanced %@%c: oats, %c; provieions, 2%@7c, the latter in pork. The action of Congress appearing traders in wheat as making war with Bpain inevitable, the price for July delivery opened at an advance of from 14@i%c over the clos- ing figures of the day before. Liverpool grain men took the same view of the situation and sent higher quotations. The strength of this market appeared to have still further stimu- lated the buyers abroad, Liverpool closing with galns in futures of from %d to 1%d. A cargo of American wheat sold in London to-day at | $120 a bushel. Minneapolis and Duluth report- ed 153 car loads, against 181 a week ago and 260 last year. Chicago received 166 cars, against four a year ago. The stock of contract wheat in Chicago regular elevators was reduced 741,000 bushels last week and now amounts to 4,000,000 bushels. In private warehouses the stocks wheat of all kinds was returned as 620,000 bush- els. Liverpool reported a large consumptive business being done, millers having a large sale for their flour and continental buyers out- bldding the United Kingdom for Indian wheat Newe of this character created an extremely nervous temper in the pit. July broke c_on | realizing immediately after the opening, but continues | elowly recovered from §7%c to S7lc, where it held for some time. A sudden bulge to 57%c followed the announcement by Leiter that he had sold 300,000 bushels for export. New York exporters followed with sales of 500,000 bushels. July declined to 87l%c on scalp- ers’ realizing but rallied to a close at 8T%c, a net gain of lc. September gained %@¥c.

April 19.—The wool market here continues very dull, and the actual business | has been the least of any week yet reported. The fact of the matter’is that with war look- ing very probable there is less dsposition on the part of the manufacturers to buy wool than since the trouble first began. Dealers as a rule are accepting the situation as it is, and where they see no one desiring to buy wool they are not trying to force business, although a buyer with cash could probably get conces- §lons from present prices quoted on mnearly all kinds of domestic wool.
