STOCKS AND BONDS
ONLY FEW SPECIAL STOCKS
SHOWED ANY ACTIVITY.
but Speculation IL Contingent
Upon the strategy Board.

New York, May 2G.--The movement Of prices
worthy Of particular nctc in the stock market
today was confined to few special stocks,
as was also n large part Of the activity in the
trading. The majority OF the list was some
what duh and neglected This in part
que to contradictory movement OF the Few
stocks that showed pronounced ACTIVITY, but
also to some skcpticism over the reportel
presence of the Spanish fleet In the harbor ot
Santiago de Cuba and the consequent sealing
up. the fact OF the matter Is that the market
has been expecting for some time a sensa
uonal naval victory and It's failure TO respond
to the more prosaic results of SUCCESSFUL
naval strategy is disappointment to bulls
and gives some encourage meut 10 the bears.
There were. however, positive elements OF
strength In the market when served to lit
prices at ono time quite materially above last
nights close. The mainatay OF the market
was Rock Island, which rose at one time ga

rectors to act on the dividend ana the various
rumors as to the rate Of the dividend and as
to measures for the distribution OF the sur
plus were motives OF the buying. Late
profit taking in this stock had no small part
in the final reaction in the market. Its carly
rise was supplemented by buying for Lon
uOn account of the international stocks and
by commission house buying OF the graugers

TIL feature of the Liverpool news was the
falling off in spots sales, there being 5000
bales. Against this fact, however. reports
from primary spot markets showed continued
iitmness based on export and home congump-

factor was the crop advices from the cotton

b. W. Hunter Co. received the following
from their New orleans correspondents;
A very steady spot market together with
continued buying by prominent New York
firm, were the principal features in the ad
vance of today. The market opened about
unchanged from yesterday, but good de-
mand was apparent from the start. This
continued throughout the day. and while there
was no sharp advance, it was continuous the
close showing net gains OF I to points on
distant months and 6 to on near positions
There was u general improvement in the spot
markets. our market being quoted up l-I6
with sales OF 1900 bales, and nifty to arrive.
Liverpool was very inactive, opening un-
changed on distant months ana y up on
near months With same quotations on spots.
