Madrid, July 13.-The possibility Of
peace with the United States is being
widely discussed in the newspapers and
by the public. The conservative papers
declare Spain is prepared TO accept
peace provided it implies only the loss
of Cuba. But they assert, Spain would
prefer war a routrance If the United
States should claim Porto Rico, the
Philippine islands or an immense in
demnity which would be impossible for
Spain to pay.
May No Longer Oppose Peace.
The Correspondence asserts that
General Correa, the minister for war,
does not disagree with the other cab
met ministers so seriously as is gen.
orally supposed and in view of the grav-
ity Of the Cuban situation it is possible
he will no longer oppose peace, provid-
ed the conditions are not too onerous.
The public connects the recent confer
ence between Duke Almodovar de Rio.
the Spanish minister for foreign af-
fairs, and the French ambassador here,
M. Patenotre, with the report that the
French ambassador at Washington, M.
Cambon, has been instructed to ascer-
tain the llghtest conditions upon which
peace Is obtainable.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 21.-The course OF
sugar today indicated that the long bear
turn in that stock has come to an emo
for the present. Dealings in this STOCK
continued to absorb an important por-
ton of the total transactions. Cali loans
on the board fell to per cent today AS
result Of the relief from this Inn
portant reactionary tendency the market
was strong and recovered quite general
ly from yesterdays decline. But the
strength was confined largely to spots
and the market is still in the hands of
professionals and reflects no outside in
ferest. There was still some 'apprehen-
sion that the rally in sugar might sim
ply be the result of manipulation direct
ed against large bear account. The
sudden plentitude of money was also
looked at somewhat askance, and with
some the fear remains that further
furry in call money might be possible.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-09-22

The fact that money has been easy to
obtain for several days in almost all
markets but not on the stock exchange,
encouraged this feeling. But the money
on call was unable to withstand the in
fiuence of the various agencies which
have been at work for its relief. The
sub-Treasury had another heavy debit
balance of nearly 100000 at the clear
ing house today, rejecting in part the
presentation of checks for the anticipa-
tory payment of the October LIST inter
est on government bonds. There were
further engagements Of gold in London
for import, resulting in sharp rise of
u to / per cent in the money rate and
of " and u per cent to 21s to 2H per
cent III the discount rate in that market.
The stiffening of the London money rate
hegot dullness in the stock market there,
the heaviness extending to the American
group and resulting in some selling for
London account here. Except in one
or two instances this selling was without
much effect. The coalers, cotton oil, rub
Der, New York air brake and some other
specalties showed conspicuous advances.

Sudden Plentitude of Money
Looked at With Suspicion.
SOME FEAR REMAINED
THAT FURTHER FURRY IN
CALL MONEY NIGHT OCCUR.
BUT THESE FEARS PROVED GROUNDLEss
In The Railroad List Dealings were not Large
but Prices in Number of Cases Ad.
vanced TO a Point Net.

New York, Sept. 21.-There was con-
tinued inactivity in the dry goods market
today. The quota of buyers in the mar
ket was very small and their operations
were confined within narrow limits. The
market gained very little in mail orders,
many road statesmen having returned to
the city after only partially successful
trips. The reports from the South that
yellow fever has broken out temporarily
stopped heavy trading in THESE quarters.
COTTON.
New York, Sept. 21.-Speculation in
cotton today was quite tame. 1t was
purely a local market with consider
able portion of the business done; the
evening up of old ventures. The marker
opened steady with the near months 7
to 3 points lower and the distant months
/ to points higher. After reacnlng a
common decline of ] to 2 poinrs imme-
diately after the call, the market ruled
quiet and varied but little. Liverpool
cables about met expectations Weather
reports were about a stand off. Almost
perfect conditions in the eastern and
western portions of the belt were about
offset by the fact that a severe wind
and rain storm had swept over an extern
sive area in the central portion of the
belt. At Vicksburg and Mobile three
and a half inches fell within twenty
four hours time and private dispatches
claimed considerable damage had been
done to the crop as result. Port and
interior receipts We're only moderate
and considerably under the movement
of even date last year. Shorts covered
in small way on forecasts for rains to-
night and tomorrow in the Atlantic
States where sunshine and warm wealth
er are needed. At the close the market
was quiet and steady at net loss of
l to 4 points.

THAT ELECTRIC LINE
stllI Being Encouraged by Mayor Bell and
 Attorney Henry c. Wood.

The proposed electric line which has been for several months, and is still being pushed by Mayor D. c. Bell and that determined attorney, Mir, Henry c. Wood, of Chicago, has by no means fell through. as we heard upon the streets this morning.
 Only few thousand dollars are needed, and the above named gentle men are striving faithfully to secure 1t and we will vouch for their suc- cess. Although little by little is be- ing subscribed and it's movement Is slow, it will come. and as we have said before, Pine Bluff has gone too far to turn back and begin over again.
 Mir. Wood leaves this afternoon for Chicago, where he will attend to some very important business and at the same time try to interest some capitalists ana induce them to sub scribe the remaining few thousand dollars. He will return to this city about Monday, and make known his success.
