Review OF the stock Market.
s-a6Street's review o. the stock rnarke.
tomorrow viii say:
shortly after noon on Friday the mar
kst received a shock from the announce
ment that the senate foreign relations
committee had decided TO report with
favorable Recommendations Senator Cam
erons resolutions, recognizing the lnee-
peEc'eree 81 Cuba. Heavy POPULATIONS and
married declines ensue6. the market being
apparently without support. save from the
hlylng 10 cover shorts. The violence os
me break, and the attendant eircGn-
stances recall the Venezuela episode OF
last December. and Il would seem that the
street was 10 some extent Influenced by
4 the memories o. that occasion and was
thus. possibly. disposed 10 exaggerate the
danger OF the situation, either as regards
its political consequences or its effect On
prices, either here or IN london.
rha
appeared, sentiment WAS apparently
changing far the better. and prices toward
tbs close OF the week displayed more or
less Improvement. mainly on covering by
the short interests. Information from
Washington seemed 10 minimize the
chances OF anything being done there In
the Cuban matter prior 70 the recess of
congress. Indeed. the fact that that body
VIII suspend It's sessions on next Tuesday
for an entire fortnight coupled with ad-
olaoral Indications that no important leg
islAtion can be carried through at che
short session. was received in Wall street
with evident signs OF relief. Large Specu-
lative interests. particularly those which
receive their inspiration from Washing
ton. undoubtedly took advantage % the de-
pressed state OF the market early IN the
week and covered extensive short lines
The followers, who were mainly recruited
from among home traders, finding tho
market oversold. supplied buying power
which caused the Improvement already
noted. while bull pools In various special
stocks took advantage OF the eircum-
stances to renew their activity though
these tendencies were al reversed, OF
course. by the sudden change in the Cuban
situation on Friday.
Reports that gold is likely 10 go 10 Ger
many next week, though supported by the
strength of the exchange market, partic-
ularly for continental exchange. seemed 10
have little or no speculative influence. The
impression IN banking circles Is that any
gold exports al present would be small
and that. moreover, a further advance In
sterling would bring on the market part
OF the very large amount Of Bills now held
hers on loans. On the street. while these
considerations have weight thew are less
important than the fact that the banks and
the treasury ara both able 70 stand small
drain with ease, and the fact that the
rates for money here compare so favora-
bly, with those prevalent I'm London Is. also
not without its force. London has been
doing nothing in our market The arhl-
TRACE trading from day TO day indicates
a measure Of interest In Americans there
At the close on Friday there was con-
siderable natural anxiety as 10 the view
which the London market would take OF
the latest developments In connection with
Cuba.
