MONEY MARKET EASIER
The Resumption of Gold Imports
Gives Great Satisfaction.
A BETTER Feeling In Financial Cir
cIes Causes an Active und
Buoyant Market.

New York. May 5.-The apparent re-
sumption of gold imports on large scale
was received today with satisfaction, the
more so as the foreign money markets
were not disturbed in consequence
The cabled advices reported runs upon
the Bank of Spain in all the cities of the
country and Il rise in the gold premium
yesterday from 62.3 to Ill, at which hg-
ure it remained today. Spanish per
cent bonds declined TO the lowest level
vet reached and closed at only slight
recovery at 30 ii. OF course, the advance
in the gold premium at Madrid meant
nothing more than a relative depreciation
in the current value of the notes of the
Bank of Spain.
These circumstances, together with the
reasonable views now entertained in re-
gard to the probable duration of hostili-
ties, resulted in an active and buoyant
market for securities. Advances We're
general in both the bond and stock de-
partments, and What was particularly
significant was the strength OF the new
low rate refunding bonds and naturally
of the stocks which are to be exchanged
for them. The money market was per-
ceptibly easier in all it's divisions, a con-
dition unquestionably rejecting the re-
vised views as to the duration of hostil-
tiles.
The market was strong from the open
ing, and the occasional recession noted
seemed to have no other than technical
explanations. Cabled advices showed the
American division of the London market
| quoted well above the local closing of
| Tuesday and the New York market at
once responded to the London advance.
! The grangers were naturally the lead
ers of the market in view of the tremen-
! dous rise in wheat. Other noteworthy ad-
| vances We're in Sugar, New York Cen
! trail and Manhattan.

said that If a ship could pound a subma-
rine defender into the shape that torpedo
was in and not be injured they were
afraid that II would not do any damage to
a Spanish warship.
After the men had been making un-
kind remarks about torpedoes in general
for some time. Lieut.. MrGregor turned to
them and said that he would show them
what even a battered torpedo could do.
Taking the unattached end of the cable
he spiced it with longer piece of cable.
This latter he attached to one of the
electric batteries at the Hook. He then
threw the torpedo into the water and it
foated out the cables length. Then he
directed one of the men of the engineers
to turn the current into the cable. In an
instant a column of mud and water rose
into the air as big. one Of the laborers
said, as the spre Of Trinity Church and
as high. 1t seemed as if the mud and
water would never stop spouting. There
was EeySer in operation there for three
minutes. The business was all done by
one hundred pounds of dynamite. The
pounding the torpedo had received speaks
well for the casing surrounding the eX-
plosive. Had it been less strong the fate
of the ship which hit 1t, as well as her
passengers, Is not pleasant to contem-
plate.
AS nearly as the engineers can deter
mine, IL was probably the Umbria, Kai-
ser Wilhelm H. or the Normandie which
struck the torpedo. The casing was
thick enough to protect the dynamite
from the shock The intention is TO have
all the casing of the same strength and
thickness. 1t is possible, however. that
there might be flaw in any one of the
castings.
Admiral Erben said today:
These steamboat folks send their ships
| out and in, any time they like and in any
| channel they like, remarking as they
! pass, ITO h with the torpedoes. That
! is all right now. They will blow out the
| other side of their mouths pretty soon.
| We will have some patrol boats here in

out every blasted one of them will be
armed with rapid-fire guns. Then men
to go out behind those guns will have

THE BRooKLYN's SIGNAL GUN.
1t Got the squndrcn's Men i'm Fight
ing Trim Quickly.

Newport News, Va, May 5.-The most
exciting scenes witnessed al Fort Monroe
since the opening Of the Spanish Ameri'
can war took place last night shortly be-
fore midnight.
II was nearly midnight when the sentry
on board the flagship Brooklyn had his
attention drawn 20 brilliant light from
the signal station at Cape Henry. Again
and again the light flashed. and when it
disappeared the last time, the signal was
interpreted as meaning that a feet OF
Spanish vessels, numbering at least two
and probably three ships, was approach
ing
a few moments a big gun from the
Brooklyn doomed a note of warning, and
instantly a scene of orderly commotion
succeeded the quiet In which the fleet
had been wrapped. Men at the fort hur-
ried TO and fro, orders were hastily given
and. as promptly obeyed, and in ten min
utes' time all the sleepy garrison was
ready for the conflict. Trucks bearing
ammunition for the ponderous mortars
on the beach were soon out, and men de-
tailed 70 work the large disappearing ri
fles capable of hurting their 550-pound
missiles for a distance of twelve miles
with deadly effect, waited in their places
for the order to fire to be given.
While Commodore Schley's ships were
ready in thirty minutes for action, they
remained at their anchorage awaiting
further information from the signal men
at the Capes.
The alarm was caused by the appear
ance of a number of merchant ships at
the Capes their masters not knowing
that the harbor was blockaded and
mined.
The watchful signal men at once sus-
pected that a fleet OF hostile ships, per.
haps some of those belonging to the Cape
Verde Squadron. was about to slip in and
surprise Commodore Schley and the gar
rison al Old Point. and accordingly
flashed the signals to the shore.

The opinion IueSday was lhdt the mar
ket might very easily show decline
Yesterday. This view was wrong. There
were one or two small reactions, but the
day as a whole was, eminently bull
dav. The short periods of selling evident
ly started by bears and shorts were
quickly ended by the strong demand at
the lower figures. The total for the day
was a rise of a point with the close ener-
eetic and strong. The appearance of the
market now is Indicative of higher prices
and a bull market for some time to come
unless there is some bad news. As there
is no reason to expect anything of the
kind and every reason to expect even
better news from today on it would seem
to be a very good gamble that prices will
advance.
1t is almost in order now TO talk OF the
things that may be expected after the
war. 1t is to be supposed that there Will
be a strong market from this time until
the end of the conflict, with perhaps d
drop now and then of no especial i'm

their profits. 1t would seem almost GER
