Wall street receives favorably the
new phase in the negotiations looking
TO the conclusion of peace with Spain.
sagasta's appointment of the ambassa-
dor OF France as Spanish envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenlpotentiarV
and the frankness and cOnclllatory tone
OF NJ Canton in his intercourse with
the President have greatly modified the
suspicious that Spain might be merely
temporlzlng for other ends than peace;
and this has brought a decided access
sion Of confidence into the market for
securities. And vet this turn In events
has limitations as to It's eject upon
financial interests. 1t may safely be
accepted as implying that Spain ear
nestly desires peace and Is prepared TO
accent terms far more humlliatlng and
costly than She has hitherto professed
10 be willing to consider. But, at the
same time. II Is not TO be overlooked
that the Standard ls anything but direct
in his dealings, full OF punctilio and cir
cumlocutlon, cumming In his evasion OF
unwelcome conditions, and not TO be i'm
plIcItly trusted until his signature ends
all possibility OF quibbling. II Is there
fore to be expected that the road to
peace may prove circultous and longer
than first hopes may suggest; and this
possibility throws an element OF moder-
alton into the hopes with which Wall
street greets the new situation. OF
course, there are important reasons why
Spain should expedite peace as much as
posslble. The longer she delays, the
greater will be the successes OF our
armies in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, the stronger our position in nego-
tiation, and the more complete her hu-
initiation. It Is difficult. however, at
this distance, 20 Judge exactly Of the
motives that mag be influencing Span
ish diplomacy. She has to hold the
confidence OF the masses as far as pos
sIble: to avoid undue disappointment
and chagrln to her Inundated armies;
TO conserve her broken credit; and, like
ourselves TO keep In view the political
complications OF an election a few
months ahead.

An important factor In the situation

careful estimates are for pt0duet OF

doey not look like any scarcity OF the
precious metal, especially considering
Inc prospects of new supplies anu the
Increasing use Of other forms OF money:
Certainly there will be no scarcity OF

ton to our own increasing output ana
the KlondIke supply we are likely TO

can be settled By returning our secur-
