Even the events of this week, up to to-day, seemed to fall to convince this element that Spain would retain this attitude in the face of the demands and the show of force by the Presi- Gent. The firmness imparted by the refusal of this element to sell gave rise to the opinion in many quarters that the market had al- ready amply discounted the actual event of war, but to-day’s events apparently convinced the conservative element that war is to be a fact, and demonstrated that the liquidation incident towar had by no means beencompleted. Early in the day New York held above the London parity, and there were occasional ral- lies, oven after the receipt of the news that General Woodford had been given his pass- ports, but reports from the Cabinet meeting | at Washington indicating preparations for au immediate forward movement of the wrmed forces of the United States, showing that war already practically existed, caused selling. Toe brokers on the floor of the exchange mani- fested considerable enthusiasm and the ros- trum was handsomely draped with American flags, but they continued to sell stocks. Some | very heavy blocks were thrown over during the final hours and everything went to show that these were in liquidation of long hold- | ings, pure and simple. Such market leaders as Buriington, St. Paul, L. and N. and Y. Central fell 3 points below last night's close. There was no rally in the final dealings, the market continuing active and weak and clos- ing at the lowest. During the early part of the day seliing for foreign account waa large and offerings were well abeorbed. The num- ber of shares sold for this account is estimated at 36,000. This continued selling of our se- curities by London doubtless had ite influence in the day's advance of 3 in the rate for do- oined in this foreign eelling there was a continued stiffness in the rates for money at foreign centers, reflected | in a further decline French rentes.

F eign demand for cotton and breadstuffs con- tinues very keen and is making exchange all the time. This demand is based on the pectation that supplies may be cut off if war reaks out.

Outside buying orders were more numerous than at any time since 1883 At the end July pork showed an advance of 7c per barrel. Lard and ribs gained 275%@3lc each. July pork opened 3oc higher, but the | advance met with miscellaneous selling and | prices sharply declined. At inside figures, how- ever, the urgent demand prevailed, and as | offerings were made there was considerable competition for them, resulting in a ‘‘run- away market’ and a sharp advance in prices for all descriptions. Shorts bought fresly in wheat. Lard and ribs advanced proportionately to pork, all closina | at_about top prices. There was & revulsion of feeling to-day at the opening among Wwheat traders from the extreme bearishness that prevailed in the last | hour of yesterday's sesslon. It did not last | long after the opening and was succeeded by & fresh spasm of lowness. The strength at the start was partly the resuit of discovering the ridiculousness of the Rothschild canard that scared the holders of long wheat the previous afternoon, and that a state of War virtually existed. In addition to this the Liv- erpool market was again higher. The reac- tion that followed the opening bulge was the re- newad expression of the prevailing sentiment | among the local heavy operators that wheat | 18 very much too high in view of the fine pros- | pect for next harvest. The market gathered | strength from the higher quotations from | Minneapolls and by 12:30 p. m. recovered the early break. Closing cables from Liverpool showed an advance of 1d in spot wheat. July rose to 89i4c, closing at 8¢ bid. May sold be- tween §1 111 and $1 12, closing at the top. Corn deceived the local talent.
