New York, Nov. 12.-Early the stock
exchange was characterized by weakness
| and under free sales the leading shares
| receded AC11k per cent, while Manhattan
| dropped "a per cent. to 9S&. The selling
| was caused by sensational rumors from
| Washington in regard to Cuban affairs,
it having been intimated that a war with
| Spain was on the cards. Con.SrvatiVe
| operators and commission houses gener~
ally were not much impressed with the
s-1, 1s~at he
and the bulk of the selling was for the
account of timid marginal holders and
| the smaller room traders. When the SELL
| ing abated the market drifted into dull
ness and speculation ruled quiet until tile
| last half hour, when the market devei-
| oped renewed strength. The advance i'll
| prices was accompanied by greater ac-
| tivity, showing clearly that the DISPOSE
ton is to trade on the bull side OF the
| account. The improvement was the re-
| suit of semi-official advices from Wash
ington and Madrid, which set at rest, so
| far as stock operators are concerned, the
| disturbing reports circula ted during the
morning session, of a war with Spain.
Another bull factor was the greater ease
| in money, time loans being quoted at 41@@I
| 5 per cent. and prime mercantile paper a..
| sac per cent. American Spirits, common
| and preferred, led the list in point of &C.
| tivity and advanced, the common rising
| 2Sh to 80. These stocks reached their
| highest figures after the announcement
of Judge Showalter's decision In the mat
| ter of rebate vouchers. In the late after
noon trading Sugar, the Changers, Louis
vile and Nashville, Chicago Cas- Manhat-
| tan, Reading, Western Union and Northern
| Pacific were all conspicuous at the
| higher range. The rise in wheat, Just at
| the close, had a stimulating effect. Spec
ulation left off strong. Net changes show
| gains of AQ% per cent, outside of Ameri-
| can Spirits stocks, which gained 21a93A
per cent. Total sales were smaller than
on yesterday, amounting to 29l, 1856 shares,
of which $500 shares were American
Spirits, 2S,3OO Sugar, 1920 St. Paul and 25,-
800 Reading The bond market closed
strong in tone. The transactions footed
up $1,919,000.
