ARE BOTTLED UP.
Market Had Been Expecting a Sem

Great Spurts-Leiter Gives Support
to the Wheat Market.

New York, May 2S.-The movement of
prices worthy of particular note in the
stock market today was confined to a few
special stocks, as was also a large part
Of the activity in the trading. The ma
jority of the list was somewhat dull and
neglected. This was in part due to the
contradictory movement of a few stocks
that showed pronounced activity, but also
TO some skepticiSm over the reported
presence of the Spanish fleet in the har-
Dor or Santiago de Cuba and its conse-
ouent bottiing up The fact of the mat
ter is, the market has been expecting for
some time sensational naval victory,
and its failure to respond to the more
prosaic results of successful naval strate-
gy is a disappointment to the bulls and
gives some encouragement to the bears.
There were. however, very positive eie-
ments of strength in the market. which
served TO lift prices at one time quite ma
terially above last nights close The
mainstay of the market was Rock Island,
which rose at one time 212 points. The APP
preaching meeting of the directors to act
upon the dividend and the various rumors
as to the rate of the dividend and as to
the measures for the distribution of the
surplus, were motives of the buying. Lit
tie profit taking in this stock had no small
part in the final reaction in the market.
Its early rise was supplemented by buy
ing for London account OF the intefna-
tional stocks and by commission house
buying of the grangers. The local trac-.
ton stocks enjoyed their season of
strength, as well
Great Northern preferred rose an ad-
dftional four points to LII. q new high
level. on the accepted belief that dis
tribution of the new stock in the retire
ment of the debenture bonds is immi-
nent. Realizing in Rock Island and the
traction weakened the market and almost
wiped out the earlier gains in the gen
eral list. Net changes are, in consequence,
small.
There was no marked activity in the
bond market, but prices were firmly held.

CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS.

The committee on claims decided to re-
commend adversely the petition of Frank
Harigan for the deposit in bank of S772.9
due him on June 10. 1899. so that he may
receive the interest earned. The contrac-
tor also desired 10 discount the claim and
give a bond in lieu of the 10 per cent re-
tanned as a guaranty for the sidewalk
pavements constructed by him, but the
committee concluded to abide by the con-
tract. which permits the retained percent
age to be invested in bonds. The Culmer-
Jennings Paving company recently OBJ
tained a concession from the council by
having $6.Si6.13 deposited with Mccormick
& Co. to the city's credit the company
to receive the interest earnings on the de-
posit, and only last evening did the COM
mittee learn that the contract permitted
investment of the retained guaranty per-
centage in Understanding bonds only.
