EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 12-The natural reaction from yesterdays buoyant tendency in Wall street was supplemented to-day by some posi- tive elements of depression and as a conse- quence prices generally ruled below yester- days level all day The speculative world ap- parently took serious view of the affair at Cardenas In spite of all assurance that the loss incurred trivial from military stand point the shedding of the first American blood had a depressing influence which no amount of reasoning could destroy. There was also a conviction that the Spanish Cape Verde fleet had certainly returned to home waters. 4 re- action in Spanish 4s in London and Paris also dissipated some of the impression that the re- cent advance foreshadowed a move toward peace by Spain. The absence of authoritative reports from Admiral Sampson and his fleet induced some hesitation among dealers in stocks. There was in addition depressed mar ket for Americans in London before the open ing here. and there was free selling of the in- ternational stocks for London account during the early trading. It was not surprising. in view of all these conditions that some of the recent buyers of stocks should have been in clined to take profit and that the bears should be encouraged to attack the market. Cover portion of the losses. but net declines are a point in many of the prominent stocks.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
