New York, April 5.-The strength
Oh yesterdays market resulted in a
material reduction in the short inter-
est donated by the loan crowd after
the close or business last night. War
news, like the winter weather. seems
10 be starting all over again. There
IS growing disposition to believe that
the controversy between the United
states and Spain will be amicably adj
1usted without any open warfare, al
though some interests will be required
to restore peaceful relations The
President apparently has both the
Senate and the House under control
and his message to Congress which
authorizes him to take effective steps
as in his discretion a speedy termina-
ton of hostilities between Spain and
Cuba to require the removal of Span
ish military and naval forces from the
island and to secure complete indie
pendence for the people, if passed,
gives the President full power to act
and means peace. The market during
the forenoon acted as peace was in the
air. IT was difficult, however, TO form
any Judgment as changes from great
strength to apparently great weakness
were accomplished, in several in
stances arbitrage houses reported a
very uncertain tendence in London and
a marked indisposition to trade on a
large scale either way. All advices
from abroad pointed to a belief that
war is going TO be averted somehow
If anything, sentiment averaged
slightly bullish, for this reason Ches-
apsake and Ohio earnings for the
fourth week of March decreased $27.-

crease of $S6,337 is shown. At the

Stochs-To-day stock market was
almost utterly stagnant and there
were minutes at time during the ses-
sion of the exchange when no quota
ZION for any stock was recorded
Small as the total volume of business
was. most of it was made up of trans
actions in a few of the leading stocks,
Sugar and the Changers absorbing the
largest proportion. The dullness itself
was expressive of the prevailing sem
timent of waiting and of extreme
doubt. Not only were reports very
conflicting as to what would be the
tenor Of the Presidents message TO
Congress tomorrow, but opinions as
to how the message would be received
and disposed of differed widely. There
was practically nothing left of yester-
DAYS anticipations that sentiment
would grow in Washington against
warlike measures. There We're, in fact,
significant reports that the organized
pressure which has been exerted upon
Congress during the last few days
against hostile measures has rather
defeated its purpose by awakening re-
sentiment. Wall street counted much
on the effect of these united represent
tations to Congress.
Prices show small losses throughout
AS a net result of the days trading.
The ouinion is still tenaciously held
in some quarters that hostilitles may
he averted Such hopes as TINS as
were entertained to-day were based on
the possibility that Spain would be IN
duced to yield to demands of this gov
eminent by the representations OF the
none and the Europeans powers. An
expression Of the prevailing uneasl-
ness was the decision by the stock eX-
change governing board to keep open
for business on Good Friday.
The money market continues to re-
feet the stress of our relations with
Spain as forcibly as in the stock mar

AN INDUSTRIAL PARADE.
The Republicans PsrfeCfing Press
 Shown to the City.

It is a pity that The Republicans new perfecting press could not nave been here on the Fifth of July. It would have added a great deal to the patriotic and industrial parade. But it formed a parade all of itself yes terday About half past six o'clock in the morning the business of remov- ing the fifteen tons of machinery from the cars to four huge trucks was begun. It was not until half past nine that the work was completed. At that time the Pioneer band was taken to the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix freight depot and the procession, the trucks decorated with placards de- scriptive of thc;,' burdens, moved to Washington street, thence to the cor ner of Washington and Third, down Third to Jefferson, down Jefferson to Center, from Center to Adams, and then to The Republican office, where the industrial parade ended and the more serious business of removing the machinery was begun.
 Everywhere along the line of march the streets were crowded Not one in ten had ever seen even a disjointed perfecting press before, and so much valuable machinery had never before been seen in the streets of Phoenix at one time.
 There was one man in whom the sight awakened an old memory, Su- perintendent J. w. Darlington of the territorial prison. Said he: 'I never expected to see press of that kind in Arizona. I was here twenty years ago when Gosper and McClintock brought the first press to town for the Herald. It was a Washington hand press and was thought to be a big thing. It's long stride in the news, paper business from a Washington hand press to a perfecting printing machine
 "Yes." said a bystander, "but mighty little of that stride has beer taken by the Herald. The Herald isn't as much of a paper as it was when l Gosper and McClintock started it.
 The people of Phoenix felt a grea deal of pride, almost proprietary, il the new machine, for it seemed t' i them to be an index of the growth o1 the city. The volume of the ma chinery became more comprehensive when it was unloaded. Even now ths sidewalk in front of The Republican office. is obstructed with it. Th' whole afternoon was spent in putin. the framework together and that ism

half finished. Then come the thou- sands of shafts, wheels, rollers and minor pieces. A great many people called at The Republican office yester- day to see the work of building, and others came last night to see how far it had progressed and when it would be done.
 q see," said one visitor, that the other papers in town don't feel much pride in your new press. I notice the Herald intimates that a press of this kind isn't needed It boasts that it has one that will print and fold every paper, daily aGS weekly, in the city ,
 "Yes,' observed another visitor, 'hut I also notice that it doesn't say how long it will take to do it; I sup pose the Herald press could print ev- cry paper published in New York in one day, but before it got through, the original Herald pressman would suc- cumb to old age and be succeeded by his son, then his grandson, etc. The Herald doesn't limit the performance of it's press to any stated period. fear that the last papers off would not contain 'today's news today"
 "The Herald's statement about the capacity of it's press," said another visitor, reminds me of an old Ohio farmer who had a mare of whose speed he had high opinion. One day neighbor took issue with him. The old farmer grew excited. I'll bet a cord of wood,' he exclaimed, that that mare can trot mile in spite of he'll This statement. like that of the Her aid lacks the essential element of time to make it comparative"
 ' Did you notice." said another by stander, that the Herald also says that it's press has been doing duty five years without ostentation? Well, that's right. Why should the Herald's press become ostentatious over the Herald's circulation?

A guard of ten men was stationed at the property prepared to resist all at tempts of interference by union men.

THE general passenger agents have bulled

they did during the Worlds fair, yet you
will find passenger men all over the west
today telling you how admirably the Worlds
fair rates were handled. The great error
with the campaigns for lower rates here
has been that they have been mis- s-directed.

rates from nearby points instead of from
remote points the situation would have
been better today. The great bulk Of the

Union Pacifc,s Benutiful Folder.

On account of its immense popularity
second edition of the Union Pacific's hand
some folder on the Transmissssippi Exposi-
tion has been issued. The folder is really
a book Of seventy pages, beautifully illus
trated with colored pictures Of the exposi-
tion grounds, buildings and interesting
groups along the Midway, about the state
buildings and elsewhere on the grounds
The new edition is even superior to the
first A number of new pictures are no.
ticed, and great deal more space is de-
voted to the Midway attractions, with the
result that every show there is pictorially
represented. The most notable addition in
the new folder is section devoted to the
Indian congress, with a set of fine views of
Captain Mercer and his big chiefs.
