The slight increase In the volume OF
dealings In stocks today would by no
means warrant the term animation, but
It conveyed an intlmation that business
IN wall street Is not entirely deHd.
Amy striking development In the sltua-
tIon would lead TO an outbreak OF ac-
tlVlty in speculation, The morning ad-
vance was occasloned by nothing mora
than the covering OF short contracts put
OUT By the small traders yesterday.
The assertion that the Madrid cabinet
had determined upon negotiations for
peace was used 70 advance prices and
IL was rather significant that they held
firm In spite OF t.te demonstrated unre-
liability Of me report and i'he decline In
Spanish Is in London and Paris. Re-
assuring official utterances from Wash
ington regarding the yellow fever sit
uutlon and from the Metropolitan Street
Railway authorities regarding the eff
feet or the temporary suspension Of
part of their lines pending reconstruc-
zion removed the principal clements OF
yesterdays uneasiness. The foreign
crop prospects are scanneG with the Ut
most attention, as the price for our sur
plus breadstuffs Is felt TO be the pivot
Of the situation. The ruling price OF
cash wheat Is almost on a parity with
that Of year ago. But at that time
exporters were doing a hand to mouth
business, because OF what they regarded
the prohlbitive price OF wheat. To-day
the farmers are holding back the new
crop through feeling Of dissatisfaction
at the price offered. The foreign ex-
change market is also showing the eff
fects Of grain bills coming forward and
is heavy in tone and dropping towards
the gold import point after net import
of gold for the year OF aboub 800, 900, 600,
New York banks contine to lose TO the
sub-treasury and New York exchange
ut Chicago to-day fell to 20 cents dis
count. But money continues easy and
rates for time money are quotably
lower.
The demand for Denver & Gulf frsts
on reorganization prospects continued
to-day and there was distinct awak-
enlng Of activity in some OF the other
speculative bonds which moved SO con-
splCuousiy last week. Prices in u NUM-
Der of othsr cases are notably higher
Total sales $2,G000OO.
