late themselves over the great fortune
which the greenhorn In wheat announced

fine house, the best horses and dogs. a valet

figures of this week with last week last

crease of 49, $50 in 1895.
The total visible supply is 3,S15,49 bales,

has been much puzzled effort to account
for the firmness of the market in face of
the weeks threatening Developments and
there has been a DISPOSITION TO ascrihe
some secret motive to the buying, popular
ly supposed to be ON inside information
from high financial sources in Europe that
Spain would be forced to recede at the
eleventh hour. But it must be said that
the prevailing conviction in Wall street has
come to be that war with Spain is now in
evitable and still prices do not go mater
tally lower.
Commission houses are authority for the
statement that they have orders TO buy on
a descending scale. This condition stops
the professional bears from operations on
the short side. On the other hand Wednes-
days bulge demonstrated. that there is
supply of stocks ready to offer on any not
able advance The market is thus held in
a sort of stable equilibrium by orders TO
buy below the present level and orders 20
sell above it. Meantime, the amount of
trading which is invited is very small. The
conviction is unavoidable that prices are
near the level of values for existing con9i-
tons since those who hold stocks are not
anxious to sell and those who seek them
are not willing to offer more for them than
the prevailing prices. Prices fell continual
ly previous to the Maine report in the eff
fort to find the true level to discount that
event and its probable result 1t is the in
variable rule that a prolonged price move
ment overshoots the mark, resulting in re-
action. There can be no more convincing
demonstration of a true level of values
than stagnation in the market.
There are varying opinions regarding the
effect of the actual presentation of the
Presidents message to Congress on Mon
day, both as to the amount of liquidation
which will be brought out and the volume
of short contracts which will be covered.
The prevailing belief that war has been ac-
curately reflected in the money market.
The continued stiffness of time money
rates and the disinclina ton to make time
loans is called sentimental as there is no
lack of money in supply, Notwithstanding
the large demands of interior institutions
for the purpose of strengthening their re-
serves. Money for loans on call is compar-
atively easy to secure. Meantime the move
ment of gold from Europe is unabated, a
large part of the incoming supply finding
it's way into the United States treasury an
spite of the current excess of payments
over receipts by that institution. 1t is not
improbable that the continuing withdrawal
| of gold from The loans made abroad has to
do with the possibility of a government
war loan.
The bond market has been dull all the
week and has moved in sympathy with
stocks. United States old As registered

opened point lower and then advanced a
little. August opened at 6OSc, advanced
to SGT, and closed al 6.O5c to 606c, with
the tone Of the market quiet The course
of cotton, in common with the other spec
plative commodities is, at the moment, so
identified with the political situation that
a forecast of its action in the immediate
future would require more or less accu-
rate knowledge of whether we shall have
peace or war. Sooner or later. however,
this question will be eliminated and cotton
will move upon it's merits
In our opinion unless the new crop
should receive setback, its merits will
not warrant higher prices. So far all re-
ports indicate most satisfactory progress. -
