Bradstreets will say:
When contrasted with the records.
where extant of business movements at
periods in the countrys history when
war was the final result of strained rela
tions the temper with which the country
has recognized the outbreaks of hostili-
ties with a foreign power is not only
proof that the dullness and depression of
the past six weeks have largely discount
ed the effects usually witnessed, but fur
nishes a valuable index to the general
point of view taken by the business com
munity as to the outcome of the pending
war.
Perhaps the most notable feature has
been the unanimity with which the quo
tations~ of leading staples have been
marked up.
In the iron and steel industry, new busi-
ness has been rather restricted a con-
spicuous exception TO this however, being
the demand for steel plates, which have
advanced very heavily at the seabOard as
a result primarily of the outbreak of war.

New York, April 29.-The Seventh Regi-
ment armory was deserted yesterday
until evening. Then some officers and
men stood in the hall discussing the
status of the regiment at the present time.
The sentiment of the officers and men
is unchanged. They say that criticism
by other militiamen and in the newspa-
pers is wrong. BY order of Colonel Apple
ton none of the men will speak for pub
lication A long statement was issued
by the colonel himself early in the day.
In it the colonel applauds the men for
their action and says that the life and
unity of the regiment depended upon u
negative vote on Wednesday evening.
Volunteering was no name for the
method of raising army forces that was
attempted in the case of the local mill
tia" he says. at was drafting or i'm
pressment into service. 1t took nerve for
the men of the Seventh to stand out as
they did last night and vote to remain
what they already were-an organization
prepared to serve the very instant that
need should arise. There is no more
responsibility resting on a militiaman
than there is on any other business man
in this city.
The statement concludes with the as
sertion that the Seventh. as the Seventh,
is ready at any and all times to serve the
country

stage since the civil war The issues
raised before the war tribunal are some

The markets course was upward. To-
ward the close of the day there was some
realizing but the total was decidedly in
favor of the bulls. Nearly everybody is
now resigned to the remarkable phenom-
enon of war being ushered in with adj
vancing markets The confidence of the
country in itself is illustrated forcibly.
The chances are now, of course, that
there will be small drop, owing to real
izing If that in the last hours yesterday
was not sufficient, The news of the bat
tie off the Philippines, if it come before
it's effect has been discounted, will cause
a rise There can be no question of the
result of the engagement, After that
battle there is to be soon another on the
Atlantic, which almost as surely will be
(. a great victory. The outlook for higher
prices for some time to come is excellent.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Strong and Fairly Animated
Dealing.

New York, April 2s.-The evident i'm
provement in speculative temper was re-
flected this morning in a strong and fairly
animated stock market. The more con-
fident feeling in regard to the security
market was simply logically explained as
due to the growth of the belief that the
war with Spain will be prosecuted to an
early and successful finish, TO which be-
lief the results of the action at Matanzas
naturally contributed.
Conspicuous features in the days deal
ings We're Metropolitan Street Railway.

fairly large business was also done in
