NEW YORK MARKETS,
Financial.

NEW YORK, y. Y, April 12.-Operators at the
Stock Exchange were inclined to take more
hopeful view OF the situation to-day, owing to ad-
vices from Washington relative to the attitude Of
the administration on the Cuban question and the
belief that Congress Will adjourn at an earlier date
than has been expected. Incidentally the ease in
money, the fact that the foreign exchanges have
recently yielded under pressure of commercial
and loan bills and the satisfactory earnings re-
ported by many roads have had the effect OF stmu-
lating the bullsh feeling with entire absence of
excitement, and on moderate volume of trans
actions the market ruled strong at higher range
OF quotations throughout the session.
The industrals were he real leaders. A further
