GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. April 1S-Iondon prices
were fractionally irregular this morning a
fair percentage OF advances being recorded
In the active issues Spanish tours declined
TO Al, a new low level.
The local market opened at moderate ad-
vances and ruled strong throughout the
day.
The reason for the advance grew out of
an absolute dearth OF offerings. the short
interest becoming apprehensive in conse-
Quence. During the early trading moder-
ate covering was in progress. the result
being most substantially reflected In Sugar
and Tobacco.
The scarcity OF the shares named was
especially pronounced at times. and served
to deter speculative selling In all parts OF
the list.
The volume OF the days business dwin-
died to fnconseQuential proportions. an
average hours business exceeding in col
UNI. the full record for the five hours to-
day.
The refusal to sell stocks in the face OF
the financial strength of those holding
them. With the loan obligations curtailed
nearly $6o000.0oo since the Maine explosion
and the market inactive at the present level
and totally devoid Of scare symptoms.
there can be no doubt of the inherent
strength of the situation.

not likely to advance materially on the
other hand until Cuban affairs take a more
definite shape.
The days proceedings In Congress look
ing to the adoption of immediate armed in
PREVENTION resolutions were passed over
without special notice
The failure to rec, enize Independence
gave the financial ,'eacc party new hope in
the belief that the Insurgents viii now
teat directly with Spain. Every straw IL
eagerly seized and pressed into service
against the war argument. So strong is
the belief that war will be averted that In
some quarters there is disposition to re-
gard the market as discounting peace in
stead of war.
Actual conflict will prove a sore disap-
pointment undoubtedly. and, rotwithstand-
ing the possibility that the market may
rise on any positive action. il will not re-
tain its high level except under cover OF
dulness.
S;agnation and surprising resistance
characterized the market during the final
trading. There was no stop TO the trading
but confidence in one account and the want
OF II in another preserved the equilibrium.
The patience of the last few weeks seems
destined to be prolonged. meanwhile earn
fngs and merit are making rapid strides to-
ward betterment

In the event of hostilities Q vacancy viii
occur in the Office of the assistant secre-
tary of the navy. now filled by Mr. TheO-
dore Roosevelt, who has practically made
up his mind to enter the military service
as an officer of the New York National
Guard. Mr.. Roosevelt was formerly q
member Of that Organization and in his
younger years received fair military
training, and in his later years has spent
considerable time on horseback in the far
west hunting for big game. Since the war
excitement began he has been most active
In prosecuting the preparations of the navy
and also in arranging plans of campaign.
He has rendered especially valuable serv-
Ices as the head Of the naval strategic
board. in the purchase of warships and
auxiliary cruisers, etc.. and also in util-
izins the naval militia for purposes Of ma
tional defense. 1t is said that his preference
for the military service is due to his great
er familiarity with that branch and his
lack of technical knowledge in the con-
struction and operation of warshfps.
There were several rumors in regard to
his possible assignment, one being that no
had applied for duty under General Lee, in
case that gentleman was placed In COM
mand of military division for the invasion
of Cuba. Another Is that he has applied
for duty in the regular army.
A Star reporter applied to Mr.. Roosevelt
for information on this subject this after
noon. but found him unusually reticent and
non-committal. He declined positively to
say whether the report of his rumored re-
signation had any foundation or not. and
he would not listen to any Of the stories as
to his assignment to duty under General
Lee or with the New York state militia.
There Is. however. good reason to believe
that in case of an outbreak of war he will
transfer his services from the navy to the
army. either in the regular or volunteer
service Mr.. Roosevelt believes that the
situation will terminate in open warfare.
and is known to be DESTROYS of being an &C
tive participant in case it does.

EXPECTED SENATE ACTION
The Resolution as Passed by the House to Be
Adopted.
There May He . Negative Vote at
First, and Perhaps q Verbal
Amendment.

Either by design or blunder there was
some delay about the resolution going to
the Senate after the action of the House.
The resolutions were sent to the printing
office instead of being hurried over in
manuscript
Perhaps no harm came from this delay,
which was not great, since 1t gave time for
number Of conferences to be held between
Senators.
The utmost confusion prevails among
senators. Some of those who have been
standing out for the republic of Cuba are
disposed. in order to save time, to accept
the action of the House. with the excep-
ton Of the striking out Of the words "are
cal republican senator's Thurston, Mason,
Quay. Penrose. Chandler, Foraker and
Gallinger. held a conference with leading
democrats and decided to stick to the fight
for the Cuban republic.
Some of the calmer and more deliberate
ren in the Senate say that the final re-
suit will be the adoption of the resolu-
tions in exactly the form reported by ma
jority. of the Senate committee. with the
added fourth clause. which the House has
already coEcurred in.
The theory Of this opinion is that when a
is made 1t will be voted down by the Sem
ate. Then motion will be made for a con-
ference. 1t is proposed when this motion
is made to amend it by naming the con-
ferees-Davis. Foraker and Turpie-instead
of permitting the Vice President acting ac-
cording to the custom of the Senate to ap-
point the three leading men of the foreign
affairs oommittee-Davis, Frye and Nor
CANAL Of whom are opposed to the recog-
milton of the republic.
Such motion would probably lead to a
struggle. If a conference is secured 1t Is
thought the House conferees will agree 10
reinsert the words ARE and''-that Is, ARE
and ought to be free etc.-and the Sen
ate will yield the formal recognition. Some
OF the democrats. well as some of the
radical republicans, 1t is said, would accept
this.
There are a number Of men in the Senate,
however. who declare that they will fight
for the Senate resolutions in their entirety,
no matter how long 1t takes.
Senator Allison has been trying to induce
democrats and the radical republicans to
yield, by assuring them that If the resolu-
tons. as they now come from the House
are accepted. the President will give notice
to Spain at once, and will take, the first
steps of armed Intervention" tomorrow.
The volunteers. he assured them. would
be called out at once, the troops he con-
centrated and the military and naval oper-
ations started without any delay.
1t Is said that these assurances have had
an influence and that after a negative vote
has once been given by the Senate to a
proposition to concur. enough will come
over to reach an agreement later.
