The STREET is CONFUSED
At Sea In lis Estimate of Market
Probabilities.
The Foreign Exchange and Money
Markets We're Unaltered in
Essentials.

New York. March According to the
precedents of the weeks speculation, per-
haps today's stock market should have
been strong. Yesterdays declines were
unquestionably the result Of short selling,
and the day began without any conclu-
siye additions to the information regard
ing the Maine disaster, the definite facts
concerning which may be conceded as
likely to determine the immediate course
Of prices. 1t is safe to say that specula-
tive Wall Street has seldom been so con-
fused in its estimates of market proba-
bilities as it is at this time. The abso
lutte reticence of all having any clear ac-
quaintance with the evidence in regard
to the loss of the Maine, the patent fact
of the extensive belligerent preparations
making by both this country and Spain.
and the great possibilities of the ques-
ton at issue constitute "a problem that
spectators in stockSi educated in 9TH
er schools. find hard to solve. Inasmuch
as the speculation today came well nigh
to standstill, the quality of reasonable
ness at least may be accorded to it.
Price movements We're in response to the
backing and filling of the few large op-
orators active in the market and to the
ln-dnd-Out ventures of the room traders.
The larger number of commission houses
We're idle, and the dealings for foreign
count We're upon the smallest scale for
several weeks.
There was nothing in the days situa-
ton to divert attention from the diplo-
matte question. Among other companies
reporting earnings, the ST. Paul and Rock
Island companies made gratifying state
ments, which received scant attention.
The foreign exchange and money markets
were unaltered in essentials. the latter
being unaffected by a considerable shift
ing of loans as result of recent synd-
cate operations.
The general market changed it's tone
during the day, rejecting the professional
operations referred to above In respect
of activity. Manhattan Railway. Sugar
Refining and the grangers were the con-
spicuous features. New York Central was
depressed in the early dealings on ac-
count Of the announcement of the legal
difficulties in the way of the absorption of
the Lake Shore road, but it rallied when
they were smoothed out by the days leg
islatiVe action at Albany. With that ex-
ception the market was fairly steady at
the opening, but il soon developed irreg-
ularity and uncertainty of tone.
The close was firm, chiefly in sympathy
with the pronounced strength of New
York Central.

Wall Street waits breathlessly for any

The stock market has never before in
history depended so absolutely on Wash

eagerly. This is a great chance for the
astute Washington broker and trader.
The evidence is very strong that the
chance is appreciated. The dealings of
houses with connections here have been
large and successful and the local Off
ces are crowded with the speculatively
inclined public. 1t is probable that the
market will move temporarily back and
forth good many times before it gets
into the right swing up or down on the

other casual remarks like that of Sec
