WALL STREET,
SATURDAY. Nov. 29-6 L, M.

Tne STOCK market to-day was SJTOug, tnOuSu
nuctuating in character and obedient TO the many
tumOrs which were intended to give 1t effect
Chief among the latter those referring to the
settlement of the virgnus difficulties through the
Castelar, government; but there are many who
know that CASTELAR, represents but mere minority.
Is only fgurehead for lew and cannot control
the masses OF either Cuba or Spain, who, in their
ignorance and braggadocio, would still insist on
war. 1t needless to say that there
Is still q strong war feeling or that
our people are generally awaiting national
reparaton, although 1t may lead to aght Castelar,
may have his place in our respect as a republican
Spaniard but the murdered Fry and the dead men
for whom he pleaded hold our American hearts by
stronger ties than those OF mere respect.
THE MONEY MARKET
to-day was active at the rates or per cent cur
rency and gold. Discounts remain unchanged.
Foreign exchange closed steady, with prime nomi-
nal rates, at 1919 for sixty days and 1887 for
short sight. The New York banks show gain of
t710.0OO and now hold $36 420, 900. Much of these
gains, however, are due to the savings banks,
which have been compelled to dispose
Of their securities in order to meet de-
mands upon them by poor depositors, who,
suffering from the nardships OF the time, have been
compelled to withdraw their humble store. The
aggregate has been very large, and tine fact is no
favorable comment upon the existing bank siJua-
tiOn. 1t Is to be further borne in mind that the
season is at hand when drafts must be made from
the West for the payment OF the outlay incident to
the movement OF the pork crop. Money there
fore, ought to be- in the parlance OF the street,
''easy," nor can the banks boast OF much real
strength.

rates paid for carrying to-day were as follows:-
1854, 1-l6 I, g. and per cent gold. The final rate
was per cent. The market was largely affected
by the Kaleidoscope rumor OF the day, but the
opinion is still strong, as is Indicated by the price
OF gold, that we shall have either war or imitation,
or both.
