NEW YORK. April 6.-opening prices
this morning reflected the general belief
that events Of unusual significance would
be recorded during the day. Declines vary

ing the first hour. but buying against short

prices recovering rapidly in consequence.
At the advance the market became stag

Washington advices on the Presidents
message were received. Around delivery
hour advance Information to the effect that
the message would be still further delayed
inspired a sharp advance. the short interest
being forced from their position by an ag-
gressive bidding up OF stock.
The short executive session OF the Senate
was followed by a general buying move-
ment in Wall street. The fluctuations dur
ing this period of active trading were eA-
tremely wide and clearly indicated a panic
among the short interest Advices through
out the day were either vague or Incredible
and were followed by very modest trading
The reported postpon= =ment of the mes

necessary incentive 20 activity. but did not
Materially increase its breadth. The best
Informed interests in the street have all
dfof& preuicled Just such a turn In affaire
as was recorded today.
No action is expected from Washington
or radical character. and Spain, ii 10
thought, will yet determine just what is
to De done with such a strained situation.
The most money is on the side of peace
both locally and in London, and this fact
leads 10 the belief that some phases of the
situation have either been misunderstood
or entirely overlooked. In q narrow mar
ket many things are possible, and IL Ia
probable that many such surprises as that
OF today may intervene between now and
the date Of final settlement.
Rumors of Havana dispatches being re-
sponsible for the delay were numerous
during the afternoon and the market was
orce more suddenly reversed.
Wall street has abandoned all other IN

the changing phases of the war crisis Re-
liable and early information is deducted
from the actions Of the larger houses.
The public Is holding aloof, and nothing
beyond traders market seems likely.
The action Of the governing committee
in deciding to keep the exchange open on
Coed Friday may be taken to indicate the
extreme tension now prevailing In financial
circles.
