favorable trade conditions, the rate for
long sterling was reduced 1-2c., and
money worked easy. On the other hand,
the apathy of foreigners, who sold small
amounts of stocks during the morning,
and the fear of complications with Spain,
owing to the Cuban insurrection, tended
TO induce caution on the part of specu-
lators generally
