STOCK MARKET ACTIVE
Manipulations Largely Confined to

Neither Progress of HOstiIities Nor
General Outside Situation Great
ly Affects transactions.

New York, June 27.-The opening of the
last week of the fiscal year brought no
increase of activity to the dealings on
the stock exchange. In the standard
stocks there were a number of irregular
and generally limited movements, and
the days active manipulation was large
ly confined TO the industrials.
Neither the progress of hostilities nor
the general outside situation afforded
many striking incidents. sIt is highly
probable that at any moment there may
come the intelligence of a decisive battle
before Santiago, and while no apprehen-
sions are entertained as to the outcome
of the fighting, speculative sentiment is
naturally concerned with the extent of
the casualties and the general cost OF
the victory.
In the outside situation there was to
be noted a slight hardening of the money
market, which was to be expected in
view of the contraction Incidental to Fri
days large disbursements and the pop
ular subscribing to the Government loan.

cial interest were limited to traffic returns
and the adyices relating to the growing
crops. In the main these were satisfac-
tory, but against their normal effect

The dullness of the last week or more
was pronounced yesterday in the New
York stock market. There was no dis
position TO buy anywhere and not much
TO sell. Everybody in the street is wait
ing for good news of victory, and de-
cisive victory, too before he will embark
on any new speculative ventures. The
story has been told several times hereto
fore in this column, and there is moth
ing new in the situation. Prices are high,
especially in the grangers. War is on and
victory has been discounted in the mar
ket There has been some decline from
the highest prices, but still there are
many that think the market high enough
In face of this there comes no news from
the front of decisive victory for the
American arms. The one new factor in
the situation yesterday was the official
announcement by the Navy Department
that the fleet intended for Spanish waters
is now forming and soon will be on It's
way across the Atlantic. This fleet, while
its mission seemingly promises speedy
ending of the war, cannot but be looked
on by the street as a disquieting element
in the situation. There are possibilities
in the sailing of an American fleet TO
European waters that one cannot fail to
think seriously of. There are possibilities
of international complications that per-
haps have not been present IN equal
measure in any move to the present time.
And so the market was dull and not strong
yesterday The promise for the future
continues TO be excellent. Without doubt
the large chances are that the sailing of
Commodore Watson and his battleships
will hasten the ending of the war Shaf-
ter is now at the gates of Santiago. The
city will almost surely fall within the
week With Santiago will go Cervera and
his ships, the second section of the Span
ish navy: 1t is noticeable, too,that the
talk of peace is almost constant III Eu-
rope for the last three or four days.
European nations are anxious for peace,
and probably will no. wait many weeks
longer for Spain to give up. There should
be a good advance when Santiago falls.
| am not one of those, however, who be-
lieye that there will be any tremendous
boom in the market l do not expect
twenty points rise even when Spain
gives up.

Tobacco and Sugar were both strong

whatever that within few days Hawaii
will be American territory. 1t has been
the theory that Sugar would go down as
