STOCKS LESS BUOYANT
A Renewed Heavy Selling for For.
eign Account.
Absence of Definite War News
Counted Against Contfnu-
ance of Advance.

New York. May 10.-The stock market
was less animated this morning than
for some days. and its tone was less
buoyant- Still, in face of renewed heavy
selling for foreign account and of con-
tinuons local realizing sales, prices held
remarkably well. TIE foreign selling was
estimated at upwards of o,e0O shares. and
was noted in nearly all of the internation-
ally listed stocks. There is no other ex-
planation of the persistent London sell
ing in this market than the extent of the
advance of the past week. and up TO this
time it has found little reflection in local
prices.
The grain market, with the noteworthy
advance in which the rise in stocks has
been TO some degree sympathetic, was
decidedly reacuonary, notwithstanding
large decrease in the visible supply In
general way the absence of definite news
in regard to the progress of hostilities
counted against a continuance of the ad-
vance. Dispatches telling of the move
ment of our troops on Cuba served as
reminder that the termination of HOSTILE
ties is still a matter of the future.
The reactionary wheat market and the
absence of encouraging war news were
the sole influences of the day, and both
of these were of negative character.
The money market made further pro-
gress toward easier conditions in all its
divisions.
Government bonds were steady and
Spanish bonds advanced probably on COW
ering of shorts.
Sugar was again heavy, and Peoples
Gas was firm. The lower priced shares,
notably Missouri Pacific and the Atchison
issues were steady. American Tobacco
in a rather pronounced decline was a
conspicuous feature of the afternoon
market.
The market closed dull and slightly
lower.

else was to be expected after the con-

will take their profits even if the marker
has every appearance of going further
in their direction. In this case, too, there
is the possibility that the advance has
been too rapid. and that a few points

Chicago, May 1O-.People who kept
track of the fluctuations in wheat today
were kept busy. Any discovery of mo-
tives was out of the question. The July
range was 19c., weak at the opening, very
strong just before noon, all to pieces
again in the last half hour, and then up
suddenly about cents a bushel in the last
few minutes. July opened at liz to lis,
touched 125 and closed al ia.
Liverpool acted in a way to make longs
uneasy early. Foreigners certainly took
profits on a large scale here. The crowd
all day kept in mind that the Governments
report was due and the popular theory
was that 1t would be a bear document.

mood.

has been for the last few days, and by
the so-called rich class of holders who
bought at much lower prices. The public
is still on the bull side.
The war situation is unchanged. There
is every reason TO believe now that the
war will be waged with energy from this
on. The Cuban campaign is 10 be pushed
and also the occupation of the Philip
pine Islands. 1t is believed, too. that Ad-
miral Sampson has been ordered to take

the Spanish fleet cannot become the
property of the United States as soon
as was first thought, is. of course disap-
pointment, but the fleet will keep.
The situation in Tobacco is very inter-
esting 1t seems probable that at the
meeting today much of the reason for the
Vagaries of the trust stock during the
last two months may be revealed. There
We're all kinds of rumors about yester-
day, among them one TO the effect that
the earnings will prove 10 have been
16 per cent and another that the rate is
to be increased. This latter story was
given for what it was worth in The Times
yesterday morning. There was much talk
or settlement between the trust and its
rivals. IL is almost certain that the earn
ings of the company have been large, and
there is certainly large possibility that
the rate will be increased. AS to the set
tlement story 1t probably has not much
foundation. At any rate with all the
bull gossip the stock went down, and
more rapidly than any other. It's loss
was three points net. The reason for this
may be that the public became frightened
at the frankness with which the insiders
were giving out their advance informa-
tion, as it has happened in the past some-
times that such generosity has had sinis-
ter purposes behind 1t. 1t cannot be learn
ed, however, that the insiders were SELL
ing Tobacco yesterday.
People connected with the Flower inter-
ests are especially bullish on r. l.
have indicated the reasons why this stock
should sell higher several times recently.
The fact that the Flower contingent is
on the same side of this stock does not
incline me to change my mind though
very certainly the Flower people are not
always right in their predictions any more
than they are sincere in them. The pre-
diction made by the Flowers is that the
stock will sell above par soon, and stay
above par for some time to come.
