Confusion Created by Wild Move

Sugar Refining.

New York, May 1S.-The general stock
market suffered In some respects today
through the wild movements in Ameri-

in Sugar refining. Both stocks We're not
only active but both declined, the latter
without any particular explanation apart

The general market was extremely ir-

notably that of the st. Paul but later
these practical influences were submerged
in the confusion created by the manipu-
lation of Tobacco and Sugar refining.
The granger shares, Peoples Gas and

WANAMAKER's CANDIDACY.
Sails Into the Republican Machine
Methods.

Philadelphia, May 1S.-John Wanamaker
in one of the recent speeches of his cam
paign for governor read a letter to his
audience from an applicant for a postmas-
tership, who complained that he was re-
quired to pay the congressman in his dis
trict $1,000 to get it.
Mr.. Wanamaker asked his audience
what they thought of it and incidentally
mentioned that ''the Quay machine had
sunk Pennsylvania politics to pretty low
level of infamy when postoffices in the
State were sold like farm produce
Congressman Hicks of the Blair County
District asked Mr. Wanamaker to explain
his remarks or publish a retraction, leav-
ing an inference in the public mind that
Mr.. Hicks was the congressman referred
TO. Mr.. Wanamaker wrote him an an
swer today and mailed it. The answer
merely gave the name and address of an
attorney in Philadelphia who will act
upon any question of Mr.. Wanamakers 6

PHOTOGRAPHS OF GUNS.
a Bill Making 1t Criminal to Print
Pictures of Defenses.

The House took up most important
bill this morning-the one in reference to
photographing any guns which would
give the strength of any fortification Of
the United States. II was introduced by
Mr.. Bennett and found many advocates
and many opponents.
Mr.. McEwen of New Jersey moved an
amendment making the provisions opera
tive only during The war. The bill pro-
hibits any one from printing, publishing,
photographing or reproducing any infor-
nation of our fortifcations. 1t makes the
offense punishable by fine OF $4,000 or
Imprisonment for ten years. or both.
Mr.. Bland of Missouri claimed that the
bill was unconstitutional in that 1t inter-
fered with the liberty of the press. He
said the bill would prohibit even an OFF,
cial of the Government giving informa-
ton of fortifications to Congress.
Mr.. Hull, who was the chief defender Of
the measure, was violently attacked by
friends of the press. He claimed that no
newspapers could find out anything what
ever about the defenses of Gibraltar. The
matter was rushed along and put on its
passage, but stopped by a motion to re-
commit to the Military Affairs Commit
tee. The motion prevailed.

The Navy Department embargo on the

The Navy Department embargo on the
news is felt in the stock market very Sc
riously. The people who supply the mar
ket with news" have heretofore sent
large quantities of rumors from the Navy
Department The Oregon has been en-
the point of capture and the Spanish feet
has been augmented by all the vessels of
Spain several times in the last two
weeks. All this kind of thing is under
a cloud since the department announced
very positively q few days ago that ii
would give out no more news and went
further than that and gave out none. If
is known how even III the street where
are the most gullible people in the world
that there is no news The news bu-
reaus have even given up the job of
sending out much of the rumor that can
have no possible foundation. The public
is taking this dearth of real information
in earnest and not trading because it
does not know what the facts are with
regard to the Spanish and American fleets
or the situation in general. There was
not much business from the public" yes
terday
The bulk of all the trading was from
the professional element and IL Is doubtful
if there was much in the way of profits
in the business. The range Of prices yes
terday was rather downward than up
ward, though there was nothing much of
movement in either direction. This is to
be attributed probably to the fact that the
naval battle has not yet been fought The
result of this engagement, If there is TO
be one is not yet sure, mo matter how
much people may say there is to be an
other Manila. The Spaniards may strike
the American feet at some weak point be-
fore the elaborate plan now under con-
sideration has been arranged. On the
whole 1t would now seem good advice not
to embark on any bull campaign until the
result Of the fight is learned. Even a
moderate victory would probably send of
the market The expectation of the ordi
nary trader is that the victory of the
Americans will be overwhelming.

change market rushed up f-2 cent again

THE OREGON is SAFE.
Rumors of Spanish Privatecrs Caus-
ing No Uneasiness.

It is believed that news was received at
the Navy Department yesterday from
the Oregon, though IT is impossible to Sc
cure any definite information from the
department. It is understood that she
will sail Immediately for the north out
side the Windward Islands in the direc-
tion of Puerto Rico, and then to join Ad-
niral Sampson. She will thus almost
surely avoid the Spanish squadron.
There are stories in the dispatches from
Europe to the effect that Spain will prob
ably give letters of marque to cruisers as
privateers. 1t was realized several weeks
ago that this guerilla sea warfare might
very possibly commend itself to Spain
and be attempted. The Navy Depart
ment will not bother itself much over
this problem until the Cuban invasion
has been successfully inaugurated After
that and after the Spanish feet on this
side of the Atlantic has been disposed
of, the protection of American commerce
will be taken up.

tuations fairly typify the markets situa-
ton. A cool and experienced head is
needed to unravel the various threads
which just now draw the price of Amerl-
can exchange in one direction or the
other. How conflicting these elements
actually are may be judged from the fact
that yesterdays advance in rates oc-
CURED in the face of distinctly lower
London discount market. 1t is probable
that loans on sterling bills are still being
largely negotiated here, and that this was
the governing force in today's exchange
rates The problem of food exports will
continue TO influence profoundly the
movement of exchange; for the obvious
fact remains, after considering all other
influences, that the net trade balance in
merchandise for the fiscal year TO date
is larger by s214, 100000 than in the same
ten months Of 1897 and S305, ,000, coo greater
than in 1892.
These figures, being only differences.
are in no large degree affected by the
usual offsets, such as drafts by Ameri-
can travellers in Europe, and remittances
against profits accruing to foreigners on
American investments. Indeed, these very
offsets must be smaller this year than
they were, say in 1894 or 1892. The steam
ship companies can inform inquirers as to
how the Summer exodus TO Europe,
since the war broke out, compares with
other years; while as for the familiar
coupon remittances." Europe could
scarcely have pursued its policy of whole
sale liquidation of our stocks and bonds,
since 1890, and left the annual income Of
its American property undiminished. II
