LONDON. May 26-The Star claims to
have Information that the French minister
for foreign affairs. M. Hanotaux. Is making
great efforts to stop the Spanish-American
war. 1t says that Russia, Austria and
France are endeavoring to induce Germany
and Italy to join in a representation to
President Mckinley. declaring that the
powers will induce Spain to grant the in-
dependence of Cuba. Should America re-
fuse Intervention. 1t is further alleged. the
powers mentioned would send fleet to put

in the case Of the Island OF Crete, until the
withdrawal OF the Spanish forces and the
constitution of a regular local government
1t is further said that these powers would
justify Intervention on the ground that the
war threatens the general peace of Europe.
The Stars Information is not regarded
seriously here.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
War Rumors Fail to Disturb the Stock
Market.
AFFECTED BY ROUTINE NEWS
Good Demand for Rock Island and
Changers Today.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. May 2G.-The course Of
prices in the foreign markets was only
moderately steady this morning and failed
to give direction to the local trading.
Rumors of the customary vague nature
relative to the movements and purposes Of
the two fleets were in circulation through
out the day, and were followed by mod
crate charges in prices. The market has,
to some extent become superior 10 these
rumors. and routine developments are fur
nishing the incentive to activity
Rock Island was again bought confidently
because of the certainty OF its value The
next dividend, II is thought, will be about
per cent in cash and per cent in scrip.
Upon this expectation is based the pros
pect of substantial advance in price once
the directors sanction the disbursement
The buying of the stock today was con-
Quoted by several brokers, who are usually
employed to assist in the large enterprises
OF the somewhat exclusive Rock Island
clique.
The neighboring granger issues were
strong, but failed to gain materially by
comparison with the leading representative
OF the group. The Traction issues wert
strong during the early trading under the
continued buying for the political faction
now supposed to dominate the prices OF
these shares. Metropolitan failed to re.
tain its early gain and declined IL, per cent
under sales to take profits.
The lower priced issues which are relied
upon to come to the front shortly are tenn
pcrarily inactive. owing to the general hes
itarcy on the part of the public. Once the
war plan becomes definite, confidence may
be restored in the purely speculative issues
which almost invariably come to the front
caring the middle stage of an important
UPWARD movement.
The question of dividend on Union Pa.
cific preferred is being pretty generally dis.
sod fa Gt,a afal. Il
n.ent of doubt has been reduced to a fixing
OF the date for the initial payment. In
some quarters an effort was made to cre-
ate an impression that the payments would
Gegin during the coming month. The bet
lei opinion, however, seems to favor the
early fall as the date of paymer The
stock is taken we'll from day TO day, and is
said to be going into strong as well as
capable hands
During the afternoon the trading element
marketed a considerable volume Of specu-
lative long stock and took profits. Frac-
itonal declines followed, but the market was
never in state OF positive weakness. This
fact was taken to Indicate a broadening
tendency and argues well for the stability
of the financial basis
The continued professional character of
the market will make frequent changes in
tendency probable during the next fort
night Prices are high and need time to
become accepted the daily standard CT
value.
There is no doubt that a higher range of
values has baen established and that re-
cessions from now on Will not run far
without being accompanied BY extreme dis
appointment
