The market was very slow yesterday
and the prices at the close were the low
est of the day The meaning of this was
undoubtedly advance information of the
intention of the Court of Inquiry TO
report in a few days at the outside.
The two stories circulated were that the
report would come today, and that II
would be given to Congress on Monday
Either Of these reports may be wrong to
the extent of a few hours but there
seems no doubt that it is now or very
soon will be on its way to Washington
1t is a difficult matter to make any
surmise as 10 the course of the mar

full broker said to me last night that,
in his opinion, the whole market is now
a purchase, for q fair rally from last
nights prices. On the other hand, even
if the President still adheres firmly to
his peace-at-any-price policy, and intends
TO diplomatize everything to the best OF
his ability, there will undoubtedly be a
message, and Congress is n most uncer-
tain quantity. If the President had the
entire swing, and could dictate to Con-
gres absolutely, there would be very lit
tie question that there would be no war
But the situation is not this. | look for
prices low, if not lower, today and

Manhattan's rise on the first days of

is very little support in the stock, and
there should not be. Metropolitan is in
the same fix. There are those who talk
very buoyantly of these two stocks and
their prospects in the near future. but
do not back up their alleged belief with
purchases when there is the least sign
of weakness. The talk of the bipartisan
commission and of the things that 1t will
do for these two roads is too much like
the alleged great friendship of Tammany

This was friendship that put a good
many dollars into the pocket of Tam

good whatever.

not been diminished to any considerable
extent, nor is it likely TO be until it sells

the month A fact that is not generally
known and consequently cannot be APP
preciated, is that Ex-Governor Flower
who did more for Gas than any other in
