NEW YORK, May 1.-THE bull cam
paign inaugurated yesterday on the Stock
Exchange promised well during the
early part Of the session to-day. but be-
fore the close the advantage gained
earlier had all been lost, and prices, as
a rule. were lower than last night, not
only in the Specialties. whose weakness
stopped the advance. but in the standard
stocks. and those which had led the adj
vance as well. At the opening the bull
contingent had TO face a series of de-
clines for Americans in London. but the
tendency OF the London market after its
opening was upward, and the declines
there were ignored. prices here opening
higher all along the line. There was d
fair volume of orders to buy, which had
come to commission-houses overnight as
a result Of the strength displayed yester-
day, and there was no selling for London
account to amount TO anything. The
stringent measures adopted by the gov
eminent to stop. the publication of news
Of naval operations has proved highly
efiicious, and Information seemed TO be
entirely lacking in Wall Street to-day.
This tended to beget some feeling of ner-
vousness and doubt, which helped on the
reaction.
MONEY LOWER.
The money market was quotably lower
to-day, and sterling exchange IL cent
higher all around, but the easier money
conditions had no effect on speculation.
The weakness of wheat doubtless had
some sympathetic effect.

moved very narrowly. but were well held

SPANISH SHIPPING
Not to Enjoy Preferential Treatment In

Not to Enjoy Preferential Treatment In
Cuban and Porte Rican Trade
Washington, December 14.-Spanish
shipping is not to enjoy preferential
treatment in the Cuban and Porto Ri
can trade under the terms Of the peace
treaty. Something of that nature may
be brought about in negotiations that
must follow between the United States
and Spain as part of the project for
the restoration of commercial relations,
but so far it has not been provided for,
although the Spanish commissioners
made special request that the privi-
lege should be accorded. The text of
the treaty has not yet been received at
the state department. The document
is so long that the expense of cabling
the text would be too great and would
not be warranted in view of the fact
that the government already possesses
a sufficient accurate outline Of the ar
ticles. The American commissioners
are expected to sail Saturday which
will bring them to their homes by
Christmas. They will bring the treaty
with them and it is believed that uls
document will not be published before
it is delivered to the department. Of
state, Notwithstanding the Madrid in
timation that it is to be printed as a

arms and while the cheers rang out,
cried like little child.
OF all the many conciliatory speeches
which have been made since Grant
said: "Let There be Peace" nothing
has more deeply stirred southern au-
dience than the simple words Of Pres
ident Mckinley this afternoon.
No sooner had President Mckinley
concluded than there were loud cries
for Wheeler and when that little man
got up his head scarcely higher than
the speakers desk, the audience once
more gave vent to wild enthusiasm.
General Wheeler referred eulogistically
to the efforts of the president towards
preserving peace as long as the coun-
trys honor would permit such efforts
and of his masterful policy after war
was inevitable. General Wheeler paid
tribute to Admiral Dewey and added:
"The army in conjunction with the
navy was ordered to attack and de-
stroy the Spanish forces at Santiago.
In four weeks that order was Obeyed
and it's purpose accomplished. The
proud Spanish nation stood suing for
peace from a nation which month
before it had held up to ridicule and
scOrn."
Calls for Brigadier General Young
brought that officer to his feet with a
short speech regarding the conditions
of the army camps in the south. He
said that no troops in the world were
better, more regularly fed and treated
than were the troops in South Carolina
and Georgia. General Lawton was
loudly cheered but refused to make a
speech. He simply thanked, on behalf
Of his men at Santiago, the legislature
and people of Georgia for their tribute
to himself.
Secretary Alger refused to speak and
the legislature dissolved.
The president held a private recep-
tion in the senate and afterward pub
lie reception on the steps of the ro-
tunda- There hundreds of southerners
crushed and jostled each other in their
anxiety to shake northern presidents
hand.
Many had come from miles distant
and when at 2:15 o'clock p. m, the
president left the capitol there were
still hundreds bitterly disappointed be-
cause they had not been able to make
their way through the surging throng
to get second hold ON his hands. The
days festivities included a unique
floral parade which was reviewed by
the president and a reception tonight
to the distinguished guests at the Cap
itol City Club.
Tonight the members of the Capitol
City Club opened their club house to
the president and Mrs. Mckinley and
the guests of the city. The occasion
was notably brilliant. The receiving
party consisted of a number of Allan
ta's women and large number of club
members. The decorations were flags
and American beauty roses.
| The late arrivals today were Hon
Evan Settle, of Kentucky, who will
speak in the place of Congressman
Bailey; Richmond P. Hobson and Mis-;
! Hobson, and Governor Voorhees,, o
New Jersey.
