FRIDAY, April ~.
The feeling Of apprehension a. TO the outcome
o. the war with Spain and as to the eject OF
hostilitios upon the money market, which has
held the speculation in securities In check for
some time past, disappeared to-day, ct least
20 far ~ . large proportion Of the specu'
lstive commupity is concerned. This change
was brought about partly By the progress that
the navy of the United States 10 max
ing arainst the Spanish forces. but more
largely by the confidence inspired BY
the conference between the Secretary Of the
Treasury aud the leading bankers OF this city
last wednesday afternoon. The fact that tho
funds required by the Government to conduct
ths war will be drawn gradually from all parts
or Ene country and disbursed practically as soon
a. they are collected insures the money market
against serious contraction and strinEenoy for
some time TO come. This probability. together
with the demonstrated superiority OF our naval
forces ~ compared with the military forces Of
Spain with which We have como in contact. IN
duced many operators 10 change their position
on the market.
Covering of shorts, both here and in London,
gave decided upward impetus to the market
In Sugar Refining and few other stocks there
was effective buying that carried prices point
or more above the final figures OF yesterday.
Sugar Refining supplied about one-third OF the
total transactions. and at slight reaction from
the best price closed nearly points higher
than yesterday. The favorable trade conditions
noted In this column this morning were appar-
entity largely responsible for theimprovc In
Sugar Refining. Phenomenal oarnings by the
Granger trunk lines stimulated operations In st.
Paul, Chicago. Burlington and Quincy. North
vEeut and Union Pacific. Other exeeptional net
advances took place in Northern Pacific pro-
ferred. United States Leather preferred, and
Metropolitan Street Railway. The most dis.
tinctivc feature OF tho market was paucity OF
ofHerings, circumstance that enabled the trad
ing element to bid up prices without encounter
ing serious obstacles Tho engagements OF gold
to-day were $780, 900. making tho total amount
Of the present movement S6s, ,3s9. $50. The clos
ing was In tho main strong. at fractional roces-
0ions from the best prices.
