The news of the day was not particu-
larry significant. but as far as it went it
was, perhaps, in favor of Spain. The gen
eral opinion on the street is that the
Montserrat has run the blockade. and that
there viii be other victories for Spain
before the war is over. Also it is we'll
TO chronicle the opinion of the people that
think the United States will have a hard
fight for several months before the war
can be concluded in her favor. Nobody
credits the dispatches that the European
powers or any of them will intervene as
soon as the first battle has been fought
Spain does not desire this and there is no
nation in Europe that would care to sug-
gest it to the United States until the
United States has had enough.

pected on the declaration Of war has not
come, and does not even throw out any
premonitory symptoms. With this re-
markable fact TO start with the average
trader is at sea as TO what is to come
next. The general opinion now is that
the next important move of prices viii be
decided entirely by the events of the war
Any signal victory for Spain would un-
doubtedly cause a slump. Any great vic
tory for the United States would proba-
bly, make prices go up, though this is not
so certain, as nearly everybody is ex-
pecting the war to go this way, and soon.
too. There are careful traders who are
buying stock at the present time on the
theory that the war has been discounted,
and that everything from now on must
be in favor of the United States. The
balance of opinion, however, is that there
is nothing in the situation to warrant
buying except with good margins
The times., 1898-04-28

One of the suggestions as to the general
situation is that while everybody on this
side believes that there is no doubt as
TO the outcome of the war II may be- very
easily, that a first victory for Spain
would cause English and European hold
ers Of American securities to get rid of
them in fright lest, after all, the war
might come out in favor of Spain. Euro

the potential strength of the United

of course. The gossip sent out by all the
news agencies is all Of this character
The fact is that nothing else has any in
fiuence on the market and there is no
need of trymg 10 interest people in any
thing else. 1t may be mentioned. how
ever. as it will perhaps interest somebody
that the rate war seems likely to be set

that the earnings reported yesterday were
not favorable on the whole.
