which permits the fires to go out over night

RECURRENCE OF BEAR SYMPTOMS.
Probable Action on the u Qucs-
ton the princinnI Cnusc.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Bradstreet's Finan-
cial Review tomorrow will say: Dur
ing the early part of the week the New
York stock market, while dull and professional
in the character of the trading, displayed a
decided tone of strength. For the last few
days, however, it was inactive and marked by
an unsettled and declining disposition, though
on Friday covering of shorts gave a frmer tona.
The first demonstrations would seem to be n
continuous effort. referred to last week, on the
part Of speculative interests to discount n pos
sble improvement in the general trade situa-
tion, coinciding with the beginning of the spring
season. This was at the time regarded as some
what premature, and the absence of public sup
port or foreign participation would have neces-
sarily arrested the further progress of the mar
ket before very long. 1t. would not seem, how
ever. that the bearish tendencies, watch again
asserted thernselvs, derived any positive char
ton in Washington in regard to the Cuban ques-
ton. The street, in fact, appeared to disregard
the adoption of the concurrent resolutions favor
ing recognition of Cuban belligerency. The ac-
cCptance by the house of representatives of the
senate's form of this measure On last Monday
was indeed almost without any effect on the
ton by the president. possibly OF a message to
congress, taking an advanced ground in regard
to the relations of theiilinited States toward
Cuba and Spain, vase what disturbed the mar
ket, inducing caution and conservatism In some
quarters. and affording opportunity for the pro-
fessional speculative elements in and out of
various portions of the stock list. The latter
class of operations were in several Instances
in concessions Of a general character. At the
same time, some effect was produced By the
crop news from the west the decided impression
that winter wheat throughout a large area Of
agricultural territory IS IN a decidedly bad way
pointing to decreased earnings of a number of
important roads, which depend for traffic upon
that class of grain. II, cannot be said that the
street has been particularly sensitive to the
renewal of gold exports, sd.
