mum, and there was notable dissemination
to sell. Even the professional bears, who
have really been the only prominent sellers
in the market for period of nearly two
months, hesitated to put out short Ines to-
day in fear of some developments ovsr Sum-
day that would give the market Its long-ex-
ton of news at any time that Manila has
been occupied by the United States forces,
with the expedition in Porto Rico making
posa!s for the conclusion of peace under ac-
tual discussion, the bears do not care to
leave short contracts open over Sunday in a

dislodge offerings of stock. There was, be-
sides. a continuance of the improvement OF

continued to advance on the understanding
that they have become the favorites of one
of the streets influential speculative leaders
Sugar and Metropolitan Street Railway also
showed strength
There was no news or known financial or in
vance In price Of these various stocks. Prices
are fractionally higher all around, rather as
a result of timidity of bears than from ony
actual demand for stocks. The bank state
ment shows that last weeks violent changes
were due to the practical closing up of OPP
erations for the government loan, and this
weeks variations are small. The new bonds
will themselves be available to the banks as
security for deposit of future instalment of
payments to the government on account of
the loan. 1t was the scarcity Of bonds for
this purpose that made necessary last weeks
heavy Withdrawals Of government deposits.
