New York Jan. 13.-The stock market
was under more or less pressure to-day
on account of bad news from Havana
There was heavy realizing at times and
some heavy attacks by the bears. A num-
Der of large operators recently on the bull
side changed their views and sold stocks
to-day under the impression that the mar
ket would undoubtedly have been much
more serious had 1t not been for the re-
markabe strength and bouyancy of sew
eral of the Vanderbilts. This strength
stemmed the liquidation and the declines
afterward in the general list were
not large when the stocks themselves re-
acted on profit taking. Declines at the
opening were quoted also by selling orders
of commission houses which had accumu-
lated over night.
These were the principal causes to neu-
tralize the undoubtedly serious view of the |
situation in Havana and It's bearing on
relations between the United States |
and Spain which is held in |
Wall street There was no news
to account for the buoyancy of the Van |
derbilts beyond vague rumors of an in |
tended change in the policy OF the admin
istratlon on looking to the reduction of |
the operating stock and an increase In |
the dividends The rise In Lake Shore |
