STOCK MARKETIRREGULAR
The Bond Market Firm and Fairly
Active.
Government and Corporation Dis
bursen,enfs Exerted Great In
Huence on the Market.

New York, June 23.-On a very light
volume of business the stock market
scored further general but irregular
recovery today. The latter characteristic
resulted from pronounced movements in
certain stocks, while in the remainder of
the market the changes were limited in
extent.
New York Central, Western Union.
Rock Island, and Brooklyn Rapid Transit
were among the conspicuous features of
the market in respect to strength and
activity. The strength of New York Cen
trail was reflected in the dealings in the
other and lower priced stocks classified
as Vanderbilts. The resumption of
active dealings in this group had a good
effect upon the general market.
In the general market the effective in
iuences were the pending tremendous
corporation and Government disburse-
ments of July l. and the expectations that
peace negotiations would be likely TO fol-
low the downfall of Santiago and Manila
Sugar Refining and Manhattan were the
most striking exceptions 10 the general
tendency of the market. The first named
was strong in the early dealings, but de-
ciined subsequently with some rapidity
on the stock bear arguments recently eX-
plotted in regard TO new competition the
prospects for Hawaiian annexation.
The bond market was firm and fairly
active.
The close was at about the best price

The reply of the President was as fol-
lows:
Mr. Ambassador, have taken great
pleasure in listening TO your address and
in receiving from your hands the letter
by which His August Majesty, the En-
peror of Russia, has accredited you as
his ambassador extraordinary and pleni-

People seemed 10 be tired of the deafness
of the last week and more, and deter
mined to push up the market whether il
deserved il or not. There is no change in
the situation TO warrant the change of
feeling. Undoubtedly the safe landing of
the troops at Santiago had something
10 do with the hopefulness exhibited. as
there had been some fear that there
would be an attack and loss Of life be-
fore the troops could be got upon Gu
ban soil. However, there was no real
victory in the achievement of such i'm
portance as to warrant an entire change
of sentiment from cOldness and skepti-
cism TO fresh buoyancy. The entire day
was a bull movement until the last hour,
when the bears succeeded again in get
ting control temporarily 1t is a diff
cult matter to predict what the next move
will be, as the prevalent opinion has been
that there would not be rally until
some great victory. On the whole per-
haps there should be a continuance of
the advance for today at least, though
do not believe it will be a very large
one.
