EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3-There was no great outburst of speculative enthusiasm in the stock market to-day as a result of the peace news. The market broadened out materially and was confidently strong all day, but ipquiring ob- servers feel considerable doubt whether the peace prospects had much to do with the rise Of much effect Is the generally growing conviction that the dullness of the local money rnarlr-4 is not at all due to sluggish trade con- ditions. but rather to the abundant supplies of money at interior points to meet the require ments of expanding business and the move nent thus far of the crops. Yesterdays gold imports resulted in stiffening foreign exchange and in appreciably easier money rates for time loans. Exchange experts are not able to figure any profit on the gold import operation at the present level Of exchange, and the engage ments must be accepted as anticipatiye of heard in Wall street Is all of expected increase Of trade and industrial expansions. The gen. eral view in the street Is enthusiastically bullish The strength of '+N~ market to-day was taken advantage of to realize profits in some of the recently manipulated industrial speeialties but there was broad and comprehensive demand favorite dividend payers leading.
 Dealings in bonds were also active and well distributed. A feature of the day was the rise to par of the Northern Pacific fours.

Cabinet Minister Believes the
Spaniards Will Evacuate
Shortly After.

WASHINGTON. April 2O.-A member
of the cabinet, discussing the ultima.
tum to Spain and the possibility of
war, said,
eff Spain refuses to evacuate Cuba,
prompt measures will be adopted to
put into force the congressional resolu.
tions. A blockade of Cuba will, so far
rs at present understood, be begun at
once. There is an adequate number of
war vessels in the vicinity to make this
effective. think such supplies as the
Spanlards now control will not last
them more than month. Then steps,
taken with view to increasing the
equipment of Gomez soldiers and fur.
nishing them with sufficient bareback
for food, will enable him to harass the
Spaniards from the rear, which will
materially assist in bringing them to
terms.
"My own individual idea is that it
will probably take two months to bring
about the results which will compel
the Spaniards to evacuate and enable
the island to be occupied by the United
States without molestation."

There is some talk of Hon. Halvor
STEVENSON shying his castor into the
ring for the nomination on the republi-
can ticket for Congress-. While Mr..
STEVENSON would make a model con-
gresham it is not anything to his dis
arrangement to say that Congressman
Eddy is so deeply entranched in the
hearts of his republican constituents
that it would appear highly improb-
able for any other man to defeat him
for the nomination. Mr.. Eddy's cleo
