SUGAR In THE LEAD.
Irregular Early Dealings in Stocks
Followed by Firmness

New York, Sept. 21-The stock mar
ket in the early dealings had a some
what uncertain tone. but in the main
it showed more firmness than it has of
late Sugar refining. which maintained
its position as the leader in respect to
activity, was very firm, and its improve
ment removed a weight from the gen.
eral market
The Grangers were moderately active.
and after the initial transactions they
developed strength. The London quota
tons and the disposition of the dealings
for foreign account in this market were
both favorable TO the long side of the
account. A better comprehension of the
money market situation and prospects
was evident, and 1t was responsible for
such betterment as the market showed.
Government bonds were Ia per cent
lower.
At noon the market was strong and
higher. Several in the general list ad-
yanced a point and over, above initial
prices. The same influence which caus-
ed the market to strengthen this morn
ing predominated- The trading was fair
ly active.

The stock market today has been very
narrow, entirely professional, and COM
paratively weak. The dominant factor is
still the uncertainty in the money situa-

there will be better condition of things
in this regard next week London sold
American stocks today. There Is not
much confidence that prices are going
higher Immediately and some of the trad

One of the stories afioat regarding Man
haitian. evidently put out by the very
clever manipulators of the stock, is that
New York Central is trying to secure the
road. Simply as a scheme this idea has
its good points. Would 1t not be possible
for instance, 10 gather in an immense
freight business in the business districts
of the city through which Manhattan
runs: The freight cars of the New York
Central could be run into the
city during the night and
with more stations immense
quantities of freight could be loaded al
most directly with the saving of several
miles of drayage. Brilliant idea of course,
but it is probably safe TO speculate on the
assumption that it will not be accom-
plished Immediately.

Tobacco was weak this morning, after
Il good opening advance. The tobacco
deal is a most interesting one, and is at
tracing a great deal of attention 1t
seems certain that the combination Will
go through, with certain important miss
ing links. The new company is to be
known as the Continental Tobacco Com
pany The deal is the revival of the plan
of several weeks ago, which was abor-
tive. 1t is said. on excellent authority.
that the American Tobacco Company has
induced all the smaller companies to join
it. 1t is equally certain that Light &
Myers and Drummond, the two St Louis
firms, have not yet been drawn into the
new concern, and that these are in reality
the only formidable opponents that the
trust has ever had. Light & Myers
have cut the product of their factories
10 per cent. inprice, and are inserting
in every package of tobacco notice that
they will not be drawn into the trust I'M
der any circumstances. This does not
look like ready and easy submission.

THE BOND ISSUE.
Preparations Substantially Complete to Invite
 Offers.

Washington, June 7.-Preparations are substantially complete at the treasury de- partment to invite offers for the bonds for carrying on the war as soon as the bonds are authorized by congress. There will not be a delay of two days in issuing a circular stating the terms under which the bonds are offered and inviting bids at par. En- velopes have already been prepared ad- dressed to every national bank, the post master at every money order office ana the representatives of several express comr a. nies who have offered to aid In the placing of the loan.
 The circulars announcing the loan Will he nlaced in these envelopes and dispatched d as soon as the exact terms of the act ,s' or congrss are known. It is the present ln- tention to offer s2OO ,0OO 900 in bonds at once, reserving the right to issue an addlliona' s1OO 900 900 under the proposals or the Iliios s itv of the finance committee m case ah au ditional issue becomes necessary.
 The thirty days will probably De gwen for receiving bids before the loan Is ai- lOtted.

In Refusing to Send Un- trained Volunteers

London, June s.-The Times commenting editorially on the fact that the Cuban authorities at Havana permittetd its cor- respondent, MT. Knight to discharge his function in forwarding the dispatch as to Mondays engagement at Santiago, says:
 His ditpatch says that the American fire was damaged. As he doubtless is sub ected to rigid censorship this admission is slgnicant and the statement that the Americans were repulsed at Aguadores' is probably correct The editorial, in sum- ming up the situation, says:
 Spanish obstinacy may prolong the war for many months. The American govern ment is acting wisely and prudently in re- fusing to send to Cuba an army Of un- trained volunteers Little attention need to be given to peace rumors."

APPROPRIATION BILL
For PostofFice Carriers One Hundred and Fifty Thousond Dollars for Rural Free Delivery.

Washington, June 1.-The conference on the postoffice appropriation bill, as report ed to the senate and agreed to by that body today, carries provision for the ap- propriation of $15O0OO for rural free delv- cry. This is a compromise, the house hav- ing appropriated s-OO,O0o and the senate having refused to make any appropriation. The agreement also includes the senate amendment for joint committee or the two houses to investigate the question Of excessive charges by the railroads for mall transportation. The senate receded from it's amendment reducing the total appro- priation for ray of letter carriers rom SEQ 0Ooo to SIP ,0OO and also from an amendment providing against more than four deliveries daily in any city. The tenn porary provision for postoffices at military camps during the war was retained. eTfe amendment prohibiting the letting or con tracts to sub-contractors was eliminated as was that making 1t a msdemeanof TOT railroad companies to refuse to carry the United States mails.

GENERAL BLANC0
Believed To Be Cut Of from Communication
 With Madrid.

Washington. June 7,-Information receiv- ed here today indicates that the French cable between Santiago and Hayu had not been working since midnight of last night. If such is the case General Blanco is cut off from communication from his home government by that source. At the same time 1t Is understood that one of the Eng fish cables running south from Cuba to Jamaica Is still In operation, although the officials find difficulty in obtaining informa ton regarding the working of this cable. The difficulty of cutting off the Spanish from their home government has demon strated the necessity for government own ership of cable vessel, and General Greedy, chief signal officer of the army, said he hoped that hereafter the United States would own such a ship whether the country was at peace or at war.
