Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
NEW YORK, June 22-Disappointmen
and apprehension We're both reflected in to-
days stock market. The first condition re-
suited in material reduction of the long
account. The second established a prefer
ence for the short side of market destined
FOR time, TO be dominated by uncertain
ties. The Cuban situation is a constant
menace to values in view of a possible u,il-
izing of this subject as a coiInter-irritant
Tor chicago s .redicted silver epidemic. Such
actlon, II Is thought, would reflect more
doubtful politics than good diplomacy and
would complicate rather than improve the
situation.
Fears Of q revival Of the controversy are
strongly marked, however, and notwith-
standing the accommodating arguments
against an immediate recognition of bel
hserent rights are a depressing speculative
factor. The silver platform. or a shifty
eNpedient amounting to one, is considered
as one oil TIE certainties of next months
political convention. The effect of a decla-
ration for silver VIII in ali probability b.
most marked IN the foreign market. Local
Values Will. OF course, reflect foreign dis
approval OF such course. but only tenn
porh hrily.
The verdict in favor of gold at 81. Louis
was too emphatic 10 destroy confidence in
i'H ui uilihdt" Victory. 1be nominee a sill
Yer platform is likely to reflect incompe-
tence in the same ratio as the platforms
reflect impracticability. The elections.
however, are long way off, and nervous
ness will only vary in degree and never
permanently disappear until this question
Is determined by popular vote.
The engagement Of s1.nVD gold for ex-
port to Germany by tomorrow's steamers
WIS not generally eXpecte sand consequent-
ly contributed to the general declining ten
dency In stock values. Under existing con-
oluohs or exchange our market offers
greater Inducements to Germany as a gold
purchasing country thar any other, in
spite of the fact that a commission Is
added to the usual contract. a reduction
OF .'-l6 or cent pound in refined sugars
and the attendant decline of 3 per cent in
the price Of the stock of the American
company were reflected in the general mar
ket.
The continued liquidation of speculative
accounts and the absence of a demand, eE-
cept from the short interest resulted in
marked concessions during the late after
noon.. The reasons assigned for the d.pres-
sion were IN 10 instance of character af-
fecting the present earning capacity OF the
properties in the railroad department The
narrowness Of the market and the credulity
of nervous room element were directly
responsible for the Importance attached TO
the days rumors.
The market is, however one for the pro-
fessional to operate in and not the novice.
Figured value and market value are under
circumstances similar to those now pre-
Sailing liable to defy logic. 1t is such con-
dltions that create bargains, however and
discriminating purchases should reflect but
minimum of risk.

DEMOCRATIC COMMENT
The General Opinion Expressed as to tho
Effect of Whitney's Letter.
Its Object Apparently to Discredit
the Action of the COnven-
tiOn In Advance.

The Whitney letter has provoked much
comment among democrats. The general
opinion among democrats is that the let
ter will not materially influence the action
Of the Chicago convention. The talk about
bimetallism is not regarded as sincere, and
is spoken of as an evidence Of weakness.
1t Is not thought Mr.. Whitney has any
hope of preventing the adoption of free
silver plank, but that his endeavors will
be directed to securing the nomination OF
candidate who has not been very posi-
tive as to the money question and VINO
might be depended on to take position,
after nomination, which will be a modi-
fication Of the platform.
The Effect of the StrnddIc Proposition
T le position taken by Mr.. Whitney in
favor of a straddle on the money question
is understood not to be what he would
have favored had the gold men been a ma
jority in the convention. Whitney and
those he represents are gold standard men.
Therefore any proposition from him to
straddle is regarded by the silver men as
confession of defeat, and an attempt TO de-
lude the opposition into the belef. that
there is a prospect in the east Tor the DEM
ocrats worth playing for.
The silver democrats do not look Tor any
assistance in the coming presidential cam
paign from Mr.. whitney, MI CleNelanu
or those whom they represent. While
reither may vote for McKiney-the tariff
antagonisms standing in the way of that
they arc not expected to support the DEM
ocratic ticket.
Object of the Two Letters.
Both Cleveland's letter, published some
days ago, and that of Whitney, published.
to lay, are regarded as issued not with the
hope of influencing the action of the Chi
cago convention, but with the intention of
discrediting the anticipated action and pro-
nouncing against the party action senti-
rIents which will be useful to the republi-
can ticket, but which they could not ex-
press after the convention without openly
bolting the party.
VIII Work for Campbell.
1t is thought that Whitney will use all
the influence he has in behalf of Camp
bell of Ohio, or for some other candidate
who would accept the nomination on a
silver platform and would afterward apollo
giZe for the platform, making a straddle
in the campaign, if not declaring personal
preference for gold.

TRANSFER OF A THEATER.
Manager james l.. Herman Wants tn
Grand Opera House.


Negotiations are in progress looking to
the transfer of the lease of the Grand
Opera House in this city now held by Mr..
Edward H. Allen to Mr.. James L. Herman
end his associates. who are the proprietors
of the I,yceum Theater in this city and the
Monumental and Holiday street theaters
and Kernan's auditorium in Baltimore
The transfer papers have been drawn up
and are now being considered by Mr. Ker-
nan and the gentlemen interested with him
in Baltimore. There are said to be some
clauses in the document which do not meet
with the approval Of Mr.. Herman, but it is
thought that a satisfactory modification of
their terms may bereached and the trans
fer completed.f RI j
If this is accomplished the Grand Opera
House will be made theater for the pro
duction of the legitimate drama at popular r
prices such as is produce ed at the Holiday
Street Thea ter in Baltimore the same at
fractions being engaged for both these
houses. Therei will be no vaudeville or va
riety features introduced at the Grand if
Mr.. Herman secures it's control and the
Lyceum Theater in this city will be con-
tinued precisely Dit has been in the past.
The Grand Qpera1 House is the property
of the Washington Light Infantry CORPS.
and upon its completion was leased by Mr.,
John w. Albargh at an annual rental of
$4,000 Upon the termination of Mr.. Al
baugh's contract. Mr.. Allen secured the
property at an annual rental of S2OGO
The Opera House has not been altogether
success since Mr.. Allen assumed it's man
agement,and the past season has been par
ticularly bad. This was due in large
measure to the prevailing depression, which
affected theatrical ventures all over the
country, and, to cite prominent tnstance-
caused the failI1e of the great theatrical
firm CT Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau IF the
transfer is effected the Washington Light
Infantry Corps. it Is believed, win be thor
oughly protected in all its interests The
Holiday Street Theater in Baltimore has
been very successful since it became a pop
ular-prfce play house, and Mr.. Herman and
his associates feel certain that similar re-
suits will ensue here II the Grand Opera
House is devoted to business of the same
character under their management,

Attitude of the Others.
The other members of the delegation are
not so outspoken as Mr.. Morgan in their
preferences but it is known beyond any
question that all of them. except Mr.. Hol-
mead, win vote for platform including a
silver plank of the strongest description.
Regarding the national committeeman. it

stands TIE. best chance of being selecteN
for the position, although 1t Is understood
row that Messrs. Boyle and Holmead.
who were formerly believed to be commit
ted to Mr.. Gardner's interests have de-
clined to pledge themselves absolutely to
his candidacy. Mr.. Jordan is said TO have
but one, vote in the delegation. which, is
bis own, it being understood that he will
pursue this course at the request Of the
National Association of Retail Liquor Deal
ers; of which he Is member Mr.. Mat
tinGly will support Mr.. Gardner and Mr..
killcen's action cannot be nrcrhesied.
William Dickson n Possibility.
With this condition in the delegation. and
with the possibility Of deadlock being
reached when the national committeeman
is to be selected, 1t would not be surprising
in the least if Mr.. William Dickson's name
should be presented as the solution of the
problem. He is not a candidate for the
honor. but he is known to be the second
choice Of at least three members of the
delegation, while the other three might. 1t
is believed. come to his support when they
felt that the selection of their particular
favorites could not be accomplished.
