THE STOCK MARKET
NEWS FROM HAVANA HAD A DE-
PRESSING EFFECT.
Nearly All the Changes show slight
Losses = Some Buoyancy I'm the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES weak.

New York. January 13.-Thc stock market
was under more or less pressure today OF
account OF the news from Havana There
was heavy realizing at times and some ag-
grcssiye attacks by the bears. A number Of
large operators recently on. tho bull side
changed their views and sold stocks today
and the Impression ON the market would un-
douhtedly havo been much moro serious had
II not been for the remarkable strength and
buoynncy Of several OF the vanderbilts. This
strength resisted and steadicd the market.
aud the declines In the general list were not
large, even when the stocks themselves re-
acted on profit taking. Tho declines at the
opening were checked also by the execution
OF commission house orders which had ac-
cumulated over night. These were the prn-
cpal causes for raalizing-tic undoubtcd view
OF the situation of Havana and its bearings
on the relations between the United States
ard Spain, which is held In Wall street.
There WAS no news to account for the buoy
oncy of the Vanderbilts beyond vague rumors
Of an intended change of policy In the ad-
ministration looking to the reduction OF Or
Grating expenses and an Increase in divi-
dsnds. The extreme rise In Lake Shore was
points. and there much in New
York Central and other MEMBERS OF the group,
There was quite a large dealing in some OF
the other higher prices investment stocks.
Manhattan, Metropolitan Traction and Brook
Ign Transit were all strong during the day
and the first and the last named gained =
points or over.
Sugar was the central point OF weakness In
the market and liquidation In 1t was very
heavy. Then the price went down ~ at one
time. and tho bears put out short lines OF the
stock on large scale. Their buying to cover
was the effective cause of wiping out the de-
cline.
The grangers and the recent speculative
gtn "a mi nj ftp gltf
fered by profit taking. London sold this
market. whether with view to taking profits
on Yesterdays purchases owing 20 dis
quiet over the Havana incident, was not clear.
Net changes In PRICES generally are on the
side OF losses.
Dealings In bonds continued large, though
in somewhat reduced volume. and marked
gains we're shown by some of the high grade
bonds.
Total sales, $3.50 200.
The range OF prices on the active stocks to-
day, compared with the closing prices of yes
tcrday, reported for The Post by d. W.
