THE MARKET INACTIVE
Pending the Settlement of Cuban
Question Speculation Waaes.
That Markets Only Relief Is In
Importation of Gold.

New York, March 1o.-Today's trading
was almost altogether for professional
account. Seemingly public interest in
the market need rot be looked for pend
ing more exact information in regard to
the issue of the Cuban situation. Today's
additions TO the information in that re-
spect were limited and not conclusive. 1t
is known that within short time the
report of the Board of Inquiry upon the
loss of the Maine will be made public
and that the consular reports upon the
state of affairs in Cuba will soon be in
the hands of Congress. The sympathy
of the majority of both houses of Con-
gress is too well known to admit of much
doubt as To what their subsequent action
will be. The speculative community has
exalted this general question to a place
of such Importance it is not remarkable
that pending its settlement inaction
should characterize the dealings in the
market and that such outside interest
as appears in the dealings should have on
the selling side. In the forenoon foreign
houses traded moderately in this market
the reports on balance resulting in the
purchasing of about 10 coo shares. The
price movements then and until late in
the afternoon were very limited and ir-
ington were circulated in the afternoon
and they were attended by heavy selling
by houses with close affiliations at the
national Capital under which declines
were general. After dropping sharply
Spanish government bonds enjoyed
fractional recovery. Bonds were very
strong, recovering sharply from the last
reported sales. Foreign exchange was
again notably weak and that market evil
IDENTIFY finds its only relief in the Inn
portations of gold
The extreme conservatism of the ST
Paul management was apparent today in
its action in declaring only per cent on
the common stock for the first half of
the fiscal year, and an extra dividend of
one-half of one per cent. It's action was
accounted disappointing. particularly
when the temper OF the street disposes
it to pessimism.
In the morning advances in American
Tobacco and General Electric made these
stocks conspicuous and the first named
resumed its upward movement in the
closing dealings. Before the close money
on call was offered at one-half of one
per cent. the lender being a large dealer
in foreign exchange. This circumstance
induced some covering of shorts, which
caused temporary fractional rallies, but
the close was weak at nearly the lowest
prices of the day.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1898-03-11

The market Is doing nothing except wait
for the crisis that everybody now expects
within Il very few days. There is little
business, and such as there is has no in
dication In il of the belief of the street as
to the result The report of the Court of
Inquiry may be in at any moment now.
But there is a feeling that the President
may take some action before the report
is received This may be today. If the
independence of Cuba is to be the Pres-
dents advice, and the consular reports
are To be turned over in full, and after
ward the report of the court finding
Spain guilty, is also TO be given to the
Congress, war cannot be avoided no
matter what may be the private belief of
the President on this phase OF the ques-
ton. II, on the other hand, Mr. Mckinley
intends to recommend that the Cubans be
given their freedom with the payment
for II in millions. to be guaranteed by
this country, ii is certain that neither
Spain nor the people of the United States
would consent. Cuba more than either
would laugh at the suggestion. War
would come that way, too. 1t is very evil
dent, however, that the President still
cherishes his deep dream of peace. 1t is
also certain that Mr.. Hanna has the same
idea. Despite these very hopeful Admin
istration ideas, the stock market will not
go up very far on them. The street is not
sure of war, but 1t has its very grave
fears. The only sure advice is to sell
There is the certainty that there will be
developments that will send the market
lower even in the very remote event that
war is aVerted.
