The strong prospects are that the market
will open OFF this morning and continue
on its downward course without breaks
during the day on account of the failure
of the Senate TO ratify the arbitration
treaty 1t is possible, however, as mas
been the case before several times lately,
that after receiving news which the street
considers inimical the market may open
off badly, three or four points even, and
then work up or remain stationary during
the remainder of the day. This .!atcer
game is one which the manipulators have
worked very successfully. The recent
fluctuations OF wheat on the opening of
the war are one example. 1t will be re-
membered that wheat jumped UP several
cents early one morning, but could get no
higher and closed lower for the day
There is really no reason why the market
should drop on this failure OF the arhitra-
uon treaty. Certainly everyone except the
street and perhaps a few of the ministers
and college professors, will be experiencing
heartfelt joy llday tomorrow over the sand
of the Senate. But there can be no ques-
ton about the temporary effect, at least, of
the stock market The market even went
off yesterday quite considerably, partly on
the fear that the treaty would not be
ratified.

Resides this foreshadowing of the action
of the Senate the other causes for the drop
yesterday are assigned TO the people W no
wished to realize on their profits, and in
the case Of sugar to the fear that the pres
ent very favorable tariff schedule on sugar
win not become law. Sugar was sold
viciously all over the exchange. Moore II
Schley, Ladenberg, Thalinan & Co. and j.
S. Bach were among the sellers. 1t is the
fact thatthe adoption by the Senate Finance
Committee of the sugar schedule and their
draft of the tariff bill does not suit the lend
ers of the House, and their view is still an
open one, with its conclusion subject to
variety of changes. The market will prob
ably fluct uate, with no very decided
changes except for short periods, until the
tariff bill becomes a law. The probable
tendency, except for the tariff, would be
upward on account of the nearing date for
the payment of dividends ,anditmay bethat
this dividenddayw have its effect anyway.
