STOCK MARKET DECLINES
Covering by Shorts Caused Feeble
and Poorly Maintained Rally.
Panicky Decline I'm Spanish FOurs
I'm London and Paris
Markets.

New York, April 13.-The effective SELL
ing of stocks under which the market de-
citned this morning was the foreign arbi-
TRACE houses and their sales were sup
plemented by steady though moderate
liquidation on the part of local commits
sion houses.
The foreign selling was in considerable
volume, in view of the general proportions
of the market and hence was all the more
influential in determining local sentiment
and the course of prices, Intelligent OBJ
servers of the situation need hardly be
informed that the critical state of this
country's diplomatic relations with Spain
was the sole and sufficient explanation of
the days sentiment toward the market.
1t was assumed and with apparent rea-
son, that the passage of the resolutions
reported by the Foreign Relations Com
mittee of the Senate would be regarded by
the Spanish government as tantamount to
declaration of war, and that their adop-
ton by Congress would bring to a focus
the matters upon which attention have
been directed for two years and with
which speculative interest has been
almost exclusively concerned for the past
two months. So far as can now be seen,
the one chance for peace lies in the full
compliance on the part of Spain with the
propositions of this Government.
A panicky decline in Spanish fours in
London and Paris was a feature of the
days situation. The bonds sold as low
as As, against IS ii yesterday. and closed
at a feeble recovery of 3-8
The United States fours of 1925 were
comparatively steady at a decline of
about 1 point. The net decline in United
States fOurs of 1925 since the Maine dis
aster amounts to ! 1-2 per cent, and in
the same time Spanish fours have de-
clined over is points.
The money market was firmly held at
6 per cent for all periods of time accom-
mediation. Bank officers reported steady
demand of fair proportions for currency
from the interior On call the bulk of the
borrowing was effected between and
per cent. Trading was more animated
than for some time, but in view of the
extent Of the declines, the market showed
little actual nervous news nor was the
activity in unusual proportion to the
days declines.
The sagging tendency was unchecked
until 1t was announced ihdt IHe senate
resolution would go over for action until
tomorrow, when the covering OF short
contracts caused a feeble and poorly
maintained rally.
The days declines were fairly uniform,
and the list varied only in respect of ac-
tivity In this regard Sugar Refining
American Tobacco, the granger shares
and Union Pacific preferred We're as usual
conspicuous.
The market closed weak al nearly the
lowest figures of the day.

The most interesting thing in the entire
situation yesterday was the fright that
attacked the holders of Spanish bonds
A veritable panic developed in the fours
and they suddenly dropped TO 49, the low
est price yet. Paris and London sold
heavily. The French holders threw over
wholesale blocks. It is safe and a very
pleasing prediction that they will not be
worth 10 when the United States army
and navy finish the little job they are
soon to undertake.

The appearance Of things Is certainly
more like war today than at any time
since the Maine blew up. 1t is the opin-
ion of nearly everybody familiar with
the situation In Congress that there will
be a resolution passed through both
houses by tonight. And it is the opinion
OF many that the Senate will not con-
sent to the house resolution giving the
President his discretion as to the use Of
the war-making power. If the Senate
resolution is passed there will be action
by the President within a very few hours
and there are indications that Mr.. Nc
kinley will take steps Immediately, no
matter what shape the action of Congress
takes. He wishes to get the matter
through now as soon as possible to pre-
vent further starvation among the re-
concentrates. The chances are very IA
vorable to the firing of the first gun this
week.

Hale Offers n Resolution.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Foraker's
speech Mr.. Hale offered the following
resolution and asked that it be printed
and go over until today:
The President is authorized, directed
and empowered to intervene at once to
restore peace on the island of Cuba and
secure to the people thereof a firm and
stable government. He is authorized to
use the land and naval forces of the
United States to secure this end
Mr.. Lodge then obtained the floor and
made lengthy speech setting forth his
position in this matter He stated that
he was in favor of supporting the EXecu-
tive to the utmost of his ability, and
that while he thought his course set
forth in the message was the proper one.
he was willing to support the measure
reported by the committee.
There was no doubt in the mind of Mr..
Lodge that the Spanish government was
responsible for the destruction of the
Maine, which he denominated as the most
cold-blooded murder ever perpetrated
and which was a question that could not
be settled by arbitration.
The only retribution that was at all
befittng was that the United States
should drive the Spanish flag from the
Western Hemisphere forever, and grant
delay He declared that this would be a
fitting monument to the heroes of the
Maine.
