New York. April 12-Today's stock mar
ket was hstless and the movement of
prices exceedingly sluggish. AS heaviness
was the prevailing tone however, and the
net results are in nearly all cases losses,
1t is evident that the prevailing sentiment
in Wall street is not hopeful. Doubt and
uncertainty prevailed in all quarters, and
reports from European bourses indicated
the same uncertain feeling in every mar
ket in the world as TO the outcome of the
controversy between the United States
and Spain.
IF THESE WERE SUBTRACTED.
If the transactions in a few speculative
leaders were taken out of today's market
the dimensions of the trading would APP
pear almost ludicrousiy small. Even such
speculative faVoriteS as the grangers
showed comparative apathy. There was
movement in Tobacco which carried the
price up nearly seven points. the motive
being the reported settlement of the con-
troversy in the trade of the plug tobacco
The advance in price was also said to be
directed against an outstanding short in
tereSt- There was large buying of the
companys scrip also and a resulting rise
or per cent Sn its price. Rubber pre-
ferred was lifted three points on very linn
lied transactions.
IN RAILROAD LIST.
In the railroad list Northwest was the
only prominent stock which showed
gain, though Rock Island was at one time
a shade above yesterdays closing Open
ing prices here were not as low as the
London parity, and there was selling in
consequence for arbitrage account. The
market showed slight degree of anima-
ton in the first hour on buying, attributed
10 Washington. The bull theory was that
dinerences in congress would beget delay
and that delay added TO the chances of
peaceful settlement. The volume of the
buying was not impressive and it had
ceased before noon. For the rest of the
day the market was to- all intents and
purposes lifeless. and the closing sales
were the lowest of the day.
The bond market was intensely dull and
showed slight recOVerieS in some cases
from early weakness. Total sales. $500 coo.
