Nature of spain's Position wn,
All Guess Work OF the BoIde.t
Sort.

NEW YORK, August 9-The belief was
general to-day that Spain's reply to the
United States proposals was OF such a
character that IL might endanger the
whole negotiations for peace, by its
failure to return straightforward answers
to the questions at issue. This belief
was effective in depressing securities all
over the world. This effect was especial
ly marked, inasmuch as values have
recently improved sharply on the pros
pect that peace would soon be declared.
Holders of stocks were, therefore, in
clined to take profits, in view of the
less favorable outlook. This was true
OF Spanish bonds, which fell, both in
Paris and London. 1t could hardly be
said, however, of United States bonds,
which. nevertheless, showed some depres-
sion. American railroad securities de-
clined in London and in Europe, and
there was selling in New York for foreign
account. Offerings here on the decline
were very large, but there was evident,
also, very remarkable power OF alb
sorption, which he'd prices, with a few
exceptions, almost perfectly steady
through some Of the most active periods
Of the trading. Recent leaders suffered
quite severely, and in this list are in
cluded, especially, Burlington, st. Paul.
Rock Island. Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Sugar, and the Rubber stocks.
Yesterdays proflt-taking followed by
to-day's selling caused renewed fears
among traders that the large dealers
were selling out. The bears were active.
but nervous, all day, and their covering
induced numerous rallies. There were
several individual stocks which showed
sufficient strength to exercise a sustain
ing influence, among them being Ele-
waited, Cincinnati. Chicago and st. Louis.
Chesapeake and Ohio Leather. and Peo-
pies Gas, with the latter rising an ex-
treme three points, but reactlng on the
days final profit-taking. Prices at one
time rallied nearly to last nights close.
and in a few cases above, but the bulk
Of the trading was at a lower level.

ably reduced scale, and prices were moro
firmly held than in the stock market.
