The street is convinced that any loan
that the Government may wish to bring
out will be an unqualified success. There
has been some little apprehension on this
score, but it was understood on the street
yesterday that Secretary Cages inter
view with the New York bankers had re-
suited i'll a complete understanding be-
tween them. There was a rumor that a
measure might be got through Congress
allowing the national banks to take out
circulation up to the par value of the
Government bonds deposited by them to
secure the note issues. This rumor has
apparently no foundation, but it was used
10 good advantage and was believed by
many of the people that are prepared 10
believe anything that is in harmony with
the prevailing speculative tendency.
The belief is gaining ground that set
tlement of the Northwest rate war is soon
to be made. This gave strength to the
stocks affected by it.

STOCKS DULL BUT FIRM

The Opening of HOstiIities Has Had

Several Influences combined yesterday
to put up the market in way that made
the people happy that have been pre-
dieting advances all the time in the last
two weeks. The situation is one in which
it would take a large measure of nerve
to buy. but at the same time there is a
growing opinion among careful traders
that the market is destined to remain
strong and to increase in activity from
this on, as the reports of the United
States victories accumulate. A broker
who has given me several predictions
based on his experience only, and not on
any inside knowledge in particular, pre-
dictions that have proven to be remark
ably accurate, too, stated the case yes
terday TO me In this way:
There can be no question that the
war as a general proposition, was for
time a bear argument, although the in
trinsic value of property was not dam
aged, / am sure. But the several weeks
of waiting and uncertainty before peo-
pie knew if the President would do
anything put stocks down sufficiently.
large amount of stock was sold outright
by timid people and many sold short.
When the war was certain people began
to examine the situation carefully, and
there was really nothing in ii TO fright
en- anybody. There could be but one end
ing to the war, and that was victory
after shorter or longer time. The
United States would get in return for it's
expenditures the valuable trade Of Cuba
for itself, which had been entirely lost
by the continuance of the rebellion. The
United States would also make itself felt
in Europe as nation with a backbone,
and this would have large potential
value. The immediate effect Of the war
would be the rise in real value of many
goods, especially the foods. And so the
people that had sold short took fright
and bought again, and the people that
had got out got in again. The re-
suit has been inevitable. Now the out
break of war has past and there is no
reason to fear. There are more reasons
TO predict advances now than there were
two weeks ago, and | have been predict

penditures in December by Sl,114.s31
This is the first month Of the present
fiscal year that a surplus Of revenues has
been shown. II gives Mr.. Dingley great
hopes. He predicts that during the last
half Of the fiscal year the ordinary re-
ceipts of the government viii equal the
ordinary expenditures. He bases this
prediction on the assumption that the
expenditures OF the government will not
average more than S29,QO0.tO a month,
and the revenues Will average as much.
932,494, and the effect Of the anticipatory
inspirations has not been worked en-
tirely off, so that imports and customs
revenues are likely to still further in
crease 10 the remaining months OF the

the most hopeful that can be drawn, yet
