The amount OF business done was al
most the smallest In the history OF the
exchange. and q large proportion OF the
email total was made up Of Tobacco.
This stock continued TO reflect the cor
test between insiders and shorts. and
the Indications all went to show that
the shorts were In distress. After fall
ing more than point the stock mounted
In an eccentric way points, and closed
a point below the best. The buying of
the morning, which advanced the gen.
eral list, was based on Ia presumption
that the differences al Washington on
the Cuban question added to the
chances OF a peaceful solution by delay.
Ing war. There were slight advances In
the price OF Americans In London be-
fore the opening here, which helped on
the rise. The selling was due to the
action OF the house OF representatives In
receding from its resolution, and con-
curing In the senate resolution, after
eliminating the recognition Of the Cuban
republic. The feature OF the market Is
the small floating supply OF stocks. This
makes an ideal market for professionals
operations on account OF the ease with
which prices move. But it!is evident
that the present market Is buttresSed
with buying orders below the present
level of prices. Any considerable i'd
vance is met with large selling to renl-
ize It Is this that produces che almost
unyielding steadiness Of the market. A
one poInt turn seems to DC about the Ut
most that the professional room traders
are able to accomplish. The gold re-

companies generally hold out Tor per

to the interior continues, but It Is
regarded as very significant that out
side banks are beginning to loan money
here. The expectation OF government

to hold their reserves, and the marked
weakness OF government bonds to-day
