New York, April 12.--The Evening Posts
London financial cabegram says: 1.-THE
stock markets here were stagnant to-day.
business being scarcely resumed after the
holidays. Such speculative position as
existed has been adjusted previous TO the
Easter holidays, and there was no incli-
nation TO reopen commitments pending
developments. The apparent reason why
prices here were slightly under those at
New York is that there is no bear ac-
count here whereas II Is believed one ex-
lists in New York. Americans were sold
little from the continent. Brazils were
fiat on a further fall in exchange. The
settlement to begin tomorrow Is likely to
show very small account, but contain
goes may be high, becarse of the rise in
money. Gold is easier at us lid"
New York April 12.-The days stock
market was listless and the movement Of
prices was exceedingly sluggish. As heav-
mess was the prevailing tone however,
and the net results are in nearly all cases
losses, 1t is evident that the prevailing
sentiment in Wall street Is not hopeful
Doubt and uncertainty prevailed in all
quarters and reports from foreign bourses
indicated the same uncertain feeling In
every market in the world, as to the OUT
come of the controversy between the
United States and Spain.
III transactions in a few speculative
leaders were taken out of to-day's market
the dimensions Of the trading would appear
almost ludicrously small. There was a live
ly movement In Tobacco, which carried the
price up nearly 7 per cent, the motive be-
ing the reported settlement OF the contro-
yersy In the trade over the plug tobacco
business The advance in the price was
also said to be directed against am out
standing short interest.
There was large buying of the compa-
ny's scrip also. and a resulting rise of
per cent. IN the price. The market showed
a light degree of animation in the first
hour Of buying attributed to Washington
account
Both the money and exchange markets
were dull and steady to-day at the recent
level, but about $lS50,000 additional gold
was engaged for import. The movement OF
currency TO the interior was undated.
The bond market was intensely dull and
showed slight recoveries in some cases
from early weakness. Total sales amount
