 Stock Market Under Pressure on Account
 of War News From Havana.
 New York, Jan. 1S.-The stock market was under more or less pressure to-day on account of the news from Havana. There was heavy realizing at times and some aggressive attacks by the bears A number of large operators recently on the bull side changed their views and sold stocks to-day, and the impress sion on the market would undoubtedly have been much more serious had it not been for the remarkable strength and buoyancy of several of the vanderbilts. This strength arrested the liquidation and steadied the market. The declines ,afterward in the general list were not large even when these stocks themselves reacted on profit taking. The declines at the opening were checked also by the execution of commission house orders, which had accumulated over night. +ASIC NoS Ao HSWS u aCCuuHL lOE tLe buoyancy of the Vanderbilts beyond vague rumors of an intended change of policy in administration looking to the reduction of operating cost and an increase in dividends. The extreme rise in Lake Shore reached four points and there was as much In New York Gen. tral. Other members of the group gain ed all the way from to joints. There was quite a large dealing in some of the other high priced investment stocks, Pullman rising 2 points and Great Northern preferred points. Some part of these transactions was probably de- signed to test the volume of offerings, which would be invited by an advance in prices. Manhattan, Metropolitan Traction and Brooklyn Transit were all strong during the day. the first and the last named gaining two points or over. Sugar was the central point of weakness in the market and liquidation in 1t was very heavy. The price was down 2A at one time and the bears put out short lines of the stock on a large scale Their buying to cover was the effective cause of wiping out the decline. The grangers and the recent speculative fav- orites, Union Pacific and Northern Pa cifie suffered from profit taking. Lon- don sold in this market, whether with a view of taking profits on yesterdays 8 purchases or owing to disquiet over the Havana incident was nor clear.
