Operators almost without exception, maintain their attitude of waiting for the situation in West Indian waters to clear fitself. The report that the Spanish fleet had gone into Santiago and had succeded in getting away again was not generally credited, coming as it did from Spanish sources. But it exercised some depressing effect neverthele: It was probably the cause of the decline in prices after the rise. The rige in Spanish fours in London and Paris showed it was not without its effeot also in foreign markets. There was selling for London which kept up a depressed tone in some of the internationals, New York Cnral and Louisville being conspicuous- sufferers. Rock Island also showed the absence of inside sup- port, but was bid up quickly on the final rules to a level above last night's close. The rally in the market was due to the strong bank statement. Prices rose a fraction above last night's close, and in some cases a point or more. A feature of the trading again was the fso- lated movement of obscure and dormant stocks. Pullman and Great Northern preferred, each with a bandsome surplus to be some time di: vided among stockholders, moved upward. Wheeling and Lake Erie’and Rio Grande Western stocks were quite conspicuously active and all moved strongly upward. Tobacco, Sugar and Leather preferred among the in- dustrials were all in demand. The closing was sfrong at the top prices. The stock market has not moved widely dur- ing the week and it has become evident that operators regard the present level of prices as favoring a fair equillbrium between the conflicting factors in the outlook. On the one eide is the chance of a naval reverse. This is considered remote. But it must be conceded that in Wall street more weight attaches to this possibilty than was the case a week ago. As it is prices are substantially higher, the naturally leading owing to the ex- movement of grain. There were the | numerous indications of a strong industdal and financial outlook which are coming to have more and more Influence in spite of the in- cubus of the war. Rallroad earnings show striking increases not only over last year, but over previous years, and in some-cases all records are broken for this season of the yvear. There is an in- crease also in the bank clearings of the coun- The wholly unprecedented condition of our ign trade balance has also received re- | newed attention, the more so as the heavy ex- cess of exports over imports still continues now, which Is the season when the balance generally turns against us. With a favorable | trade_balance of $514,000,000 for ten months of | the fiscal year, against the best previous | record of less than $300,000,000 for a full year, there is no room left for timid apprehension about the country’s future money resources. Increased activity early in the week in the bond market resulted from large releases of money seeking employment. The demand wa: however, largely confined to the more spec Jative issues. Prices are quite generally higher and held steady, even through the reactions which occurred in the stock market. United States new 4s declined 2%, the old 4s | registered 3; per cent and the bs % per cent in bid price.

The circumstances which have brought about the remarkable changes in the statement are not difficult to understand. The | steady demand for interior remittances has given way to a decided movement to this cen- ter. The shipment to the interior has not | equaled gold imports for some time. ‘Added to this, the Treasury is disbursing large sums of money and until two weeks ago, high rates forced a constant liquidation of loans and sales of accumulated sterling bills. The resuit has been to throw a mass of idle mont into the banks. Fortunately the situa- tion has so much improved that the banks are finding use for part of this money and the ex- | pansion of $7.857,800 in loans for the week Is a | cheering sign. 'What proportion of this in- crease represents mercantile demands cannot be estimated but it is true that some very active buving of sterling bills is again being indulged ‘in. The expansion of averages for the week can | | be traced to several large banks, notably those | which are concerned in_international move | ment, but on the other hand the institutions | making a specialty of country accounts report increased deposits, showing the return to be | from the interfor. ~ Under normal circum- | stances a movement in favor of New York is | only natural in this season and now that the proposed Government bond issue has been de. layed NewYork will probably continue to gain eavily.

CHICAGO, May 21.—The Wheat speculators to-day appeared disposed to leave the entire market here to its chief manipulator and busi- ness was very small except for about forty minutes after the opening and again during the last hour of the session. September ab- sorbed the bulk of the trading. Liverpool worked the improvement here by cabling ad- vances of from 13%d to 2iz:d and it was gen- erally believed on the floor that Leiter worked Liverpool. The excessive rains of the last few days had raised some misgivings about the possible effect on the Wheat crop, especially in sections where the plant is approaching ma- turity. Continental markets were quoted easier, Antwerp being the equivalent of 1%c a bushel and Paris lower by 1 cent a bushel for May | and e for September. Lelter was evidently neglecting to support the Continental markets, but he was attending closely to those at home. Hie brokers bid from $140 to §l 45 for June and from $1 50 to $1 60 for May and incidentally whipped up September when It needed an ap- plication of the gad. July Wheat closed with a gain of 2%c and September i3 1%@l%c high- er. May ranged from $147 to $1 60, the latter figure being the closing price, a gain of 15 cents for the day.
