STOCK MARKET ADVANCES
The Speculative Disposition Dis

Retreat of the Spanish Fleet Re-
sponsibIe for Influx of Buy

New York, May lin a war time stock
market it is reasonable that prices should
respond promptly to the Developments of
war. Hence, so far as it was possible to
ascribe definite cause to the mornings
rapid advance in prices, 1t was the news
of the return of the Spanish fleet to home
waters TO which the influx of buying or
ders could be attributed. The retreat of
the fleet was not iilogically assumed to
indicate an early cessation of hostilities
and this inference was, TO some extent,
indorsed by the pronounced recovery in
Spanish fours in the London and Paris
markets
Foreign dispatches also intimated that
the Spanish government had succeeded
in making a new loan, the advance OF
funds, according to the report, being con-
ditional upon an early termination OF hos
tilities with the United States. Foreign
spectators We're disposed to draw the
same conclusions from the developments
of the war as were assumed in the local
market London reversed its speculative
position of the past few days and was
a buyer of stocks in this market
In short, the prevalent speculative us
position made every circumstance OF the
day distinctly bullish factor.
The market advanced steadily through
out the day. the reactions being insignifi-
cant in view of the extent of the rise, Ihe
remarkably favorable agricultural situa-
ton noticeably turned the major specu-
lative interest toward the grangers, which
led the market in all respects Allowing
for the dividends paid in the meantime
the average prices of these stocks reacn-
ed a higher level than was attained III
the general advances of last Summer.
Practically the whole market advanced
the list varying only in respect OF move
ment and activity.
The market closed firm at about the
best prices of the day
The market at noon was strong active

The HARVEST OF WAR.
Railroads Getting the Benefit of the
Movement of Troops.


Movement of Troops.
The railroads are already beginning 10
reap the harvest of the war. The move
ment of the troops to the Gulf points,
with all their accompaniments of pro-
visions and equipments and the great
shipments of mules and wagons to the
South and to Washington will cost the
Government millions of dollars. A large
part of this will be profit to the railroads,
as the movement is not to be so rapid
that the ordinary traffic will be disturbed
in many instances.
The question Of rates has not yet been
determined in the East. The Government
proposed TO the roads that the rate for
troops be half the regular fare or one
cent a mile and for equipments half the
regular freight charges. This PROPOSE
ton was made TO all the roads that We're
expected to compete for the business. 1t
has been accepted by nearly all the West
ern roads The contracts have not been
made in the East except in a few in
stances and it is not known whether they
will accept the rate or not. but there are
indications that there will be some diff
Guilty in making the arrangements at
those figures.
The statement has been made that the
railroads accepted the one cent rate dur
ing the last war. This is a mistake The
regular fare then was three cents and
the half rate given made the war fare a
cent and a half.

was the cause of his visit or not 1t was
learned soon after that the Ohio regi-

Major Dick, who has rendered the Han

During a greater part of the early day
the influence OF London was against the

hard to understand, in view of the sftu-

that London has sold enough stocks dur
