Conditions Shown by the Dealings on
Wall Street

NEW YORK, March 15.--The movement
of stock prices today was confused and the
market very puzsilng Decidedly lower Lower
an unsettled tone at the opening. Prices
partly responded to the London initiative,
but did not go further than the London
parity. A furious buying moven ent quick
iy developed. which lifted the level of the
whole market strongly above last night S
closing. The buying was most conspicu-
Gus in the local and industrial specialties,
but there was a lack of strength in the
railway list, the Changers being especially
strong. Heavy realizing met the advance
and wiped out large part of it when the
first hour had expired. This was the most
then ensued slow and laborious recovery,
which developed higher prices than the
first spurt And yet this second advance
also was wiped out in practically all cases
except some of the specialtes, and the day
shows net losses in most of the standard
stocks extending to point or over in some
cases. Thus almost the extreme range of
the market was traversed four times dur
ing the day. There was very little in the
news to explain these conflicting move
ments. Wall street opinions of the politi-
cal outlook were, on the surface less APP
prehensive. The movement of Spanish
fours in London and Paris, which partly
recovered after an early decline, reflected
a growth of similar opinion here. But this
was probably derived in part from the
strength of the New York market and this
morning London sold freely here on the
morning advance, and there was heavy
realizing besides, attributed to very power
full bear market interests. A number of the
Industrial stocks rose over two points, and
a number of the railroad stocks at one
time showed net advances of over point
The retrograde movement of prices seems
to be dissociated from any news of the
day. as were the advances. Realizing Of
profits offers the only explanation.
Prices for foreign exchange moved to a
lower level today, in spite of additional en-
gagements of gold for import. Besides
the engagement of gold for import from
Europe to New York, shipment of 81, ,000,-
600 was announced from Australia for San
Francisco. There was no easing of the
local money rates in response to these
movements.
The bond market was strong up to the
closing, when prices eased off in sympathy
with stocks. Total sales, 81 100, 900.

against 99s at the regular close, and I0O5s
the highest for the day. There was no at
tempt made to check the decentralization
of values. Wheat bought earlier in the
day was hastily unloaded on the fast fall
ing market, and bear traders, encouraged
by reports that Letter had sold a million
bushels of May wheat, hammered away at
values with a vigor that has net been
equaled since the middle of last week. At
o'clock the market was in quieter mood,
with prices a fraction up from the lowest,
but still in very unsettled condition.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, March 15-wheat started a
little easier. Cables showed slight de-
clines and Liverpool reported receipts con-
sderably in excess Of normal require
ments. These were side issues, however,
the main reason for the shading of prices
being the large additions to the contract
stocks, about 337 900 bushels being added
to the stock in town today. July opened q
shade lower. at 865s@S6N and, while offer
ings were plenty, the demand soon became
so strong that prices gradually advanced
and the market was strong for over two
hours following: Besides the natural in
clination Of traders to play for a reaction
after the recent decline in prices. strength
shown by outside markets, especially in
New York, had tendency to drive shorts
in, and the urgency Of this class of buying
indicated that the market had been rather
oversold. Reports of continued drought
and unpromising outlook In California was
bull help. July advanced to SSc May
received the usual strong support from
Letter, although 1t hardly needed 1t. There
was some short demand in this delivery,
resulting in an advance to LOS. After noon

lions of bushels of July on to the market.
AS the shorts had previously been pretty
well hlled up, prices dropped like a shot
to S6h. The last few minutes Of trading
were characterized by extreme nervous
ness and weakness. With almost no sup
port of consequence, July sank to s5M. and
closed weak at S5M. May rested at 1.04

De Wolfe Hopper appeared at the Fifth

AT the close of the second act there was a
grand march on the stage supposed to be
by the Spanish soldiers. 1t was led BY the
Seventh regiment band. When the Spanish
flag was brought on it was received by the
audience in silence, but there was no hiss
ing. When the United States flag came on
and the band struck up Sousf>s STARS and
Stripes Forever" the audience stood up
and cheered and shouted for several minu :
es, waving the small American flags
which had been given the audience as they
entered the theater by the thoughtful press
agent.
At the close of the act the curtain was
| rung up dozen times, and Mr.. Hopper and
his wife were loudly applauded. Finally
Mr.. Hopper made brief speech, in which
he said that while We all thought that war
with Spain was a very remote possibility,
