The times., 1898-06-17

The stock market yesterday was an in
tensely discouraging affair to the bulls.
After the great drop of the day before
there was a fairly brisk opening with ad-
vancing prices. The bulls believed there
would be fine squirt and that prices had
determined to advance again. After this
opening, however, came a lull and recess
sions SO that at the end of the day nearly
the entire gain had been lost again. In
one or two cases there was a fair ad-
vance net, but on others there was loss
from the opening prices.
After this fiasco it is perhaps needless
to speculate over the reason for the ad-

vance, which was only fash in the pan
after all. Such movement could be pro-
duced by fairly active market fakir
even on the suspicion of reason. How
ever, there were reasons that might have
pushed the advance If there had been
any real disposition for an advance The
news of the settlement of the Letter
wheat trouble is Chicago was encourage
ing. II IS believed that there will not be
any further beginning of panics or this
deal at least. as there Is every evidence
of strength in the present combination.
The news from Guantanamo was fine
also, and showed the stun of which the
American fighters are made even better
than some of the more conspicuous acts
OF bravery that the war has witnessed.
alton of the new Government loan were
also calculated to give strength TO the
market. The offers of the two syndicates
mentioned at length in this column yes
terday could not but give confidence TO
the street that the credit Of the Govern
ment is superb. 1t was very clear, how
ever. that the trading was largely pro-
fessional in character. and that there was
very little, If any investment buying.
This absence Of good buying took the vim
out of the professionals, and they let the
drag come and the drop in prices. It
would be risky to venture any suggestion
today and tomorrow. 4 majority of the
street critics, perhaps, are OF the opinion
that there will be an ADVANCE.

Gov. Dyer has hoped that an additional

then have beeu equipped as light bat

This, however, seems to be impossible
for the present. as Senator Aldrich states
that HIS efforts toward securing ths addi'
