The sharp advance that has been ex-
pected by the confident bulls has not
shown itself this week Yesterdays mar
ket looked less like it than any hereto
fore. It was dull after the first hour, and
showed a marked disposition on the part
of the traders to wait for developments.
1t is the general remark now that the
war has ceased TO play any part in stock
speculation. The entire situation appears
to be one of general and special condl-
tions in the stock market and in the rail-
road and other properties in which the
traders are especially interested. In other
words the political situation Is fairly
satisfactory and the street has turned It's
attention to the merits of the stocks
themselves. The result of this has been
a somewhat greater diversity in the trad
ing than was common when the entire
market was Influenced by one condition
Another result is that people are Degln-
ming to look very carefully into the value
of properties and to compare them with
prices now quoted. In many cases 1t is
apparent that under the influence OF the
general boom there has been a tremen-
! dous rise. in the price of many stocks,
| though not entirely warranted by condi-
| tions. The entire street is now consider
| ing the question as to whether the ad-
vance has been sufficiently high or If the
| boom will last long enough to carry 1t
| further Opinions are not by any means
| so unanimous that the advance will con-
| tinue as they were three or four weeks
ago. Indeed, the advance since that
| time has already been large.

| those who now advise caution in buying
where a month ago they were very op-
| timistic They express the belief that

Brooklyn Rapid Transit was the object
Of continued attack yesterday. One broker
made the remark that evidently somebody
is opening the bag every time the stock

The other New York street railroad
stocks were also weak all day, even more
so than Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Man
haitian scored another low point 103 rs.
There has been a continuous drop in this

whatever ii is, seems not in the least to
have been abated. Metropolitan also went

Under the act of congress approved
April 26, 1898, authorizing the president
in his discretion upon declaration of war
by congress-, or a declaration by congress
that war exists, 7 directed the increase of
the regular army to the maximum Of
1000 authorized in said act The same
act provides that in time of peace the
army shall be reduced to its original
footing.
The Importance of legislation for the
permanent increase of the army is there
fore manifest and the recommendation of
the secretary of war for that purpose has
my unqualified approval. There can be
no question that at this time and proba-
bly, for some time in the future, 100000
men will be none too many to meet the
necessities of the situation. At all events
whether that number shall be required
permanently or not the power should be
given to the president to enlist that force
if in his discretion 1t shall be necessary
and the further discretion should be given
him to recruit within the above limit
from tho Inhabitants of tho islands with
the government of which VIC are charged.
Would Muster Out Volunteers.
1t is my purpose to muster out the en-
tire volunteer army as soon rs the con-
gress shall provide for the increase of the

an act of justice and will be much appre-
ceiated by the brave men who left their
homes and employinents to help tho coun-
