THE STOCK MARKET FIRM
Operators Reluctant TO Pursue an
Aggressive Policy.
The stock Market for Securities
Comparatively Dull During
the Entire Week.

New York, May 21-The weekly bank
statement shows several important
changes. The banks have gained in law
ful money over s7,250 coo, the greater part
of 81 in specie. This increase, which is
much larger than had been generally ex-
pected, IS the result of imports of specie,
heavy disbursements by the Treasury and
a moderate return movement of cur
rency from the interior. OF equal i'm
portance is the increase of nearly $S.OOo,-
600. which shows that the banks, feeling
confident of their position, are now ex-
tending liberal accommodations 10 merito-
rious borrowers.
Today's stock market was quiet but in
the main strong. During the first hour
prices yielded fractionally under mod
crate selling by small holders who were
reluctant TO carry their ventures over
Sunday. There was. however, no pres
sure to sell and operators for short ac-
count appeared to be reluctant to pursue
an aggressive policy. During the last
hour the quiet but substantial buying
that has been feature of the market
for several days past became effective
and in consequence, the majority of the
list closed higher than yesterday.
The transactions We're not large; in
deed in no stock did they exceed 10000
shares. There was, however. fairly good
distribution of business, and several
stocks that have bee neglected for some
time past received attention at advanc-
ing prices. Among these were American
Spirits, Standard Rope and Twine, and
the Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks. The
last-named, as well as the stocks of the
other Ohio soft-coal carrying roads, were
favorably affected by the progress that
is being made toward the reorganization
of the b. & o. road. That company, ow-
ing TO its bankrupt condition, has been
largely responsible for the decentralization
Of the bituminous coal industry of Ohio
during the last two or three years.
The market for American Spirits and
Standard Rope was influenced by the i'm
provement in the conditions affecting the
industries in which the two companies
are engaged.
The market for securities has been
comparatively dull all the week. The
closing was strong, at about the best
prices. As compared with the final
prices Of last Saturday, the majority OF
stocks are higher.

STOCK GOSSIP.

Yesterday I'm the market was character
fzed by nothing else so much as its dull
ness. The short day is usually not pro-
ducrive of much activity but the utter
lack Of interest exhibited yesterday was
noticeable The situation is unchanged
In word and there are very few who
care TO risk money when the uncertainty
of war is the factor to be gambled
against. II is as well again TO point out
here however. that the lethargy Of the
market and the apparent fear of specula-
tors is not in any way indicative of un-
certainty over the ending of the war,
but only over the length TO which 1t may
be prolonged. A dragging war with moth
ing being done by the Administration to
end IL IS a tax on the faith of anybody.
The feeling now may be best described
perhaps as one Of certainty that no mat
ter what the Administration does il can
not lose the war in the end. And so
although the market is duh and there is
no buoyancy in the trading there is very
little selling and the prices do not re-
cede. The range of prices was rather up
ward yesterday though there was very
little change. II is probable that if there
has been a battle before tomorrow's S
opening and It has been a victory for the
United States the market will open up
and see an advance Of three points or
more. On the other hand If the American
fleets have not caught the Spaniards there
may be q drop before the upward march
of prices begins again. On the whole
am Of the opinion that the chance is for
a drop.

Bank clearings for seven of the prin-

Financial Chronicle show an increase OF
32-2 per cent. over those of the cores
ponding week of last year. The total
clearings for the entire country for the

Ladenburg, Thalman & Co, Mr.. Hibbs's
correspondents, have this to say of the
Standard Rope and Twine issues:
Activity of the Standard Rope and
Twine issues is ascribed to the improved
outlook for the company. The recent ad-
vance in the price Of Hemp has increased
the value of the raw material on hand
some $4,000, and the company is said
10 be about 100000 better off than ii was
this time last year. This being about the
beginning of the busy season, last year,
there was a small deficit from operations.
There is So 900, 900 stock. s.. .955. 900 first

There was a story yesterday that the
Manhattan Railroad Company has offer
ed a contract for the electrical equipment
of the entire system of its lines to the
General Electric Company. 1t is said
that officials of the electric company are
now figuring on the specifications. There
is Of course the probability that there
may be truth in this story, but also there
is a large chance that il has been put
out for its effect on the stock Of one of
the two companies, or both.

The Boston Globe says the earnings Of
the Burlington thus far this month have
been the best on record for the period
covered. The same may not quite be said
of the others of the granger group, per
haps. but at any rate the earnings of them
all We're excellent. This group has one
Of the best chances to earn money of all
the railroads during the coming year.
There are two or three matters that must
be taken into consideration. however, be-
fore one buys Burlington or Rock Island
at this time because of this rosy pros
pect. One Of the chief of these is that
the prosperity that is coming has already
been discounted to a large extent, and no.
body can be quite sure how much this
has happened.

PRESIDENT DOLE AS McKINLEY'S
REPRESENTATIVE.
Cabinet will Continue to Act as the
Heads of Departments Until Con-
gress Passes Special Laws.

The government of Hawaii will re-
main as it is until Congress acts.
The commission is to recommend
legislation to Congress.
The Republic of Hawaii will go out
of existence with the raising of the
flag. But President Dole will con-
tinue at the head of affairs here as
President McKinley's personal repre-
sentative. He may receive an ap-
pointment as acting governor, but as
yet has received none and is entirely
unaware of what President McKinley's
intentions are.
With regard to the Cabinet, its
members will continue to act as
heads of departments until Congress
passes new laws.
Minister Hatch said this morning:
"There will be no change at present
as far as | know. Everything rests
with the President and Congress.
There is little doubt that President
Dole will act as President McKinley's
representative. but in what form his
commission viii come, whether as
acting governor or special commissi-
oner, I wnow nothing. There will he
no change in the departments until
after Congress acts. Really all know
is that we are annexed. and represen-
tatives of the United States army and
navy will he here in short time to
hoist the flag"

MCKINLEY.
Thurston has the Pen With Which
Mckinley Signed the Annexation
Resolution-Waterh Talks.

The identical flag that was pulled
down from the government building
by order of Commissioner Blount will
be put up again by order of Admiral
Miller, when the formal annexation
ceremonies take place. After the res
olutions were signed by President
Mckinley, l.. \. Thurston was warm
ly complimented by him on the grand
work he had done for the cause Of
annexation and presented with the
gold pen with which the resolutions
had been signed.
Mr.. Thurston took advantage of the
opportunity to ask President McKtn-
ley's permission to hoist the same
flag over the Executive building dt
Honolulu that Blount had hauled
down, telling him how it had been
sold at auction and bid in by Lieu
tenant Lucien Young, and afterwards
presented to him.
The President readily accorded the
permission, after being assured that
the flag was in good condition. "An1
