NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, Ma tock brokers had a busy two-hours ¢ exchange to- 5 the short session of the there were no intervals of idleness. market was active through. out and the keenness for the stocks gathered | force as t ion progressed until it had be- come like a scramble toward the close. Occasional offerings by operators content to take their very antial profits were swal- lowed up with element of apprehension which had caused the reaction at close 3 ay cleared up. The release of the Lafayette eliminated thu fear of a_complication with France over her seizure. The reported announcement of the ar- rival of the McCulloch at Hongkong with dis- patches from Admiral Deway relieved the na- tural uneasiness that was beginning to be felt over the prolonged delay in recelving offictal advices from him. Theére was some hesitancy in the trading until an official confirmation had been received from Washington of the g00d news from Manila. The completeness of the victory and the almost entire exemption | from damage of the United States forces em- phasized the new Important bearing of the event upon the prospects for a speedy termida- tion of the war. The depression of some American securities in London before the opening here was ig- nored and the advance In prices was inaugu- rated from the opening. The strong intimations coming from official circles in Washington that important news is expected from Admiral Sampson by Sunday and reports that the Span- ish fleet has been sighted off the French West Indies, aroused an exnectation that the first | step toward the destruction of Spain’s naval | force in the Atlantic was near at hand and could safely be discounted In the market. The continued excitement and advancing prices in wheat gave added strength to the stocks of rallroads running through the wheat belt. The bank statement was also interpreted as di tinctively favorable. The force of the upward tendency of prices was remarkable in the sec- ond hour and the day's net gains ranged be- tween 1 and 3 points for most of the leading stocks The animation and strength of the stock mar- ket during the week has been in strong contrast to the lethargy of the early part of last week. | Professional operators laid in a large supply of leading speculative stocks on Friday and Saturday of last week, In antrcipation of good news from Commodore Dewey In the early part of this week. It is not unusual to see prices of stocks react upon the actual occurrence of an event which has thus been discounted, sell- ing to realize profits. But the professional operators who took their profits on Monday and Tuesday on the news of Dewey’s victory fail- ed entirely to estimate the force and far- reaching results of that event. Their heavy realizing sales were easily absorbed by the large outside demand for stocks and instead of reaction following the upward rush of prices the week has closed with the furor to buy at bolling point and with prices at the top level of the week, with from 20 to 11_points net gain in the active railroad stocks. Some of the specialties exceed even that. .. The week's development in the money market shows that the long process of prsparation to meet the country’s war needs has been com- pleted. It is aiso significant that the gold which continues to come from abroad no longer goes to the liquidation of loans, indicat- ing that the imports of gold are made on cur- rent accumulations of exchange. Business in other flelds feel the benefit of the easy mon:y conditions. The confidence that the progress toward prosperity is about to be resumed Is the real ground of the buoyancy In the stock market, The bond market has fully shared In the activity and strength of the stock market, and prices “are hizher all around.

It be- | came evident as the week progressed that deal- ings in mercantile paper were on a more liberal e, but the increase in the loan item prob- | ably represents for the most part borrowings incident to the revival on the Stock Exchange. While the increase was less than $1,000,000, it must be interpreted as a favorable sign. At this time, when the turning point seems to have been reached, it is interesting to note that the falling off in the loans in New York | banks since February 18 last have been no less | fat muttons, $3 A considerable part of this | represents the liquidation of accumulated sterling bills incident to the heavy gold imports.

It closed at $1 67, a net advance for the week of exactly 50c per bushel. Joseph Leiter has apparently proven himself complete master of the situation, with entire control of the avallable Wheat supply and shorts at his mercy. Another surprising advance at Liverpool to- day started the Wheat market here strong and drove from the minds of local scalpers for the time being all thought of the big reaction they were calculating upon with great confidence the day before. July, which closed yesterday at §101, opened with buyers at from $1 024@ 103, and in the course of forty minutes it sold up to $104% without material setback. Sep- tember in the same time rose from around Sigc and §5c, where i3 hung during the first twenty minutes to c, its closing price yesterday having been S3%c. May started only Yo higher, or at $1 50. The next short to come in, however, did it at $1 6. The advance in May Wheat at Liverpool was equal to 3%c a bushel, and in July Ge The quotations percental a Liverpool showed the price of May Wheat to be bringing the equivalent of $1 54%, July §1 45%, September $1 141z and December $1 03%. Frantic efforts to buy the golden cereal begah again after a brief rest at $1 05 for July and $15 for May. The market got at last where bearish reports no longer influenced it. It be- came a mere matter of disappearing margins with shorts and aggressive confidence with longs. July rushed up from around $105 to $1 06, dropped in two minutes back to §1 05ty and five minutes after it was bringing $1 06%. In the last fifteen minutes of the session It surged up and down in great swelling billows of excited trading between $106 and $1 06%. the closing bell tap cutting it short when $1 06% was the current price. May, after reaching $170, closed at $1 67, an advance of 1Tic for the day. The net gain In July was 5%c; Sep- tember rose to 87%c and closed at 87%c, or 3%c advance.

HAY AND FEEDSTUFFS. The Hay market was very soft and dull, ow- ing to the continued flood from outside sources, but there was no decline. This outside Hay is coming from all sorts of sources up morth, but as the t 1s $5 per ton from Portland it is not likely to beat prices down very far. Some of it from points east of Portland stands the shippers in $11 freight, and of course they lose on such shipments. ' Besides, almost all of this outside Hay is stained and otherwise In poor condition, and dealers do not dread it much in competition with our cholce clean California product. Still, it has its effect. Buyers In Sonoma and Napa countles ave instructions to pay $17@18 for any kind of new Hay, and will take thousands of tons ai these but the farmers will not let go so far.
