ne relations between this country and Spain
and the condition OF affairs in Cuba, together
with the political and international possibili-
ties suggested by both. seem likely to keep the
market for securities in an unsettled condition
for some time to come. There was absolutely no
news to-day regarding either situation; but that
did not prevent the Street from converting Its
conjoctures and fears into rumors and constru.
ing the last as advices that might come from
Washington at any moment, Tho apprchensive-
ness Of the speculative community led to COM
parhtively heavy selling for both accounts.
Another disturbing factor was n break Of
II points in Metropolitan Street Rail-
way, q movement that. according to prec-
Odunt, has boen impending for several
days. The announcement this morning that tho
company has decided to issue Sl0.o00.0OO Of
new stock. thereby increasing lite capitalization
from ESQ, 300 900 to $40, 900 900. naturally in.
Jducvd sales to realize profits. 1t is understood
that three-ffths OF tho new issue will be used TO
take MP the outstanding scrip OF tho COM
pany and tho remainder for extensions and i'm.
provements; still, II tho present shareholder
can acquire tho new stock at par In tho ratio OF

and although the majority of tho list
closed slightly lower than on Friday, the
finish was fairly steady. A good deal Of encour-
agcmont was derived from the strength Of tho
market for American securities In London and
also from the fact that foreign arbitraRo houses
bought q good many stocks. At the extreme
decline q substantial inquiry for stocks
DEVELOPED. This circumstance was evidently
appreciated by the short interest. which has In
creased materially during the last few days. and
induced It to recover some Of the stocks recently
sold. Tho buying. however. was not sufficient
to carry prices back to the level from which they
had fallen. The closing was quiet and irregular.
