THE MARKET UNSETTLED
Cuban Situation Affects Stocks
UnfayOrably.
Stand OF the Government on the
Kansas Pacific Matter Also
Caases Weakness

New York, Feb. 7.-Somewhat unex-
pectedly, the Cuban situation was re-
yived in consideration today, threug n
the advices from Madrid respecting the
tenor of Spain's reply to the representa-
tlons of this Government upon the ne
cessity Of bringing the rebellion to a
close. The market was naturally unset
tied, and its general influence was fur
thered by the intelligence from Wash
lngton in regard to the attitude assumed
by the Administration on the pending
sale OF the Kansas Pacific property.
These matters constituted the actual
news of the day, and there was nothing
to offset them. apart from the more or
less stereOtyped features Of the situation,
traffic returns and low money rates
Their effect was shown in an increase in
the irregularity which marked the trad
ing last week
The trading in stocks was upon a
fairly active scale, and very large
business was done in the bond depart
ment OF the market, The features there
being the Atchison issues and Kansas
Pacific consols. The latter were sharply
depressed at the opening Of business, the
decline being naturally due to the infor-
ibiabIpli lildt lilS WOULD ask
for further pOstponement OF the sale
of the property and for the appoint
ment of receivers i'm its interest, but they
later rallied
In the stock market the price move
ments were irregular and, except in
few cases, were not extensive. Stocks
advanced in few instances, notably
in Norfolk and Western preferred and
Metropolitan Street Railway, and some
OF the stocks classed as speciaIties were
marked up sharply
Foreign banking houses had fairly lib
eral orders in this market, and on bal
ance were buyers to a small extent, per-
haDs.
In the stocks actively dealt in. there
were few noteworthy changes. The
United Pacific shares lost ground on
continued realizing sales. which were
materially heavier on the Washington
advices noted. Other active features
were the granger shares, Northern Pa
cifc, New York Central, Michigan Cen
tral. and General Electric.
In the last hour the general market
showed rather more pressure. and had
more uniform tendency toward weak
ness
