There was very little news of any kind
on the street yesterday except OF the
war In this way the day was one of the
dullest for severai weeks. Even the
rumors put out by the cliques. usually at

said of Sugar or the other industrials,
and the railroad stocks that are being
doomed by various manipulators We're
quiet. Manhattan may usually be relied
on TO furnish surmise and fiction when
all else fails, and it came to the rescue
yesterday with several new suggestions
by its friends.
1t is estimated that there is a short
interest of nearly 10000 shares in Manhat-
tan. When Mr.. Gould returns from Eu-
rope, lin a few days, it is, believed that
an important change in the affairs of the
company will take place. The Town

The news of the fall of Santiago reach
ed the street too late to have any great
effect on the market. There was an an
nouncement at half past 2 o'clock that
was almost positive. and IL was acted on
during the last half hour with alacrity.
Prices went up quickly and there was
some new business. But during most of
the day there were unsatsfying and dis
turbing rumors. mostly of surrender, IL is
true, but some savoring of more delay,
and they had the effect of dampening
the ardor of those who had decided that
news of the surrender would come dur
ing the day. Little trading was done
and the results were indefinite. There
is now much surmise as TO the opening
of the market today. Santiago has fall
len and America has won another vic
tory-a victory over the Span
ish army, which has been the
hope of Spain when the navy
fell On the other hand, yellow fever
has broken out and the reports from San
tiago regarding its spread are far from
reassuring In addition TO this. the peace
rumors We're not so persistent yesterday
and there seems to be a possibility that
Spain will be forced to continue the fight
indefinitely by the complications and dis
content at home. On the whole, there
is an impression among careful observ-
ers that the market viii have rise this
morning from high opening, but that the
advance may not continue during the en-
sire day. It is certainly probable, how
ever. that for several weeks now prices
will keep up their present level, with
tendency to advance as the peace rumors
resolve themselves more and more into
definite facts.

The Great At lantic and Pacific Tea Co. of 3S6 State street is one of the few places where the best of such household supplies may be obtained and that, too, for the smallest money. Fancy Elgin cream cry butter at cost is also a bargain which housekeepers do not have to be informed of twice before they take ad- vantage of it. That is just the bargain the Tea company Is offering. In addi- tion it sells the finest laundry soap and has a complete stock of the finest brands of baking powder, extracts, CO., coas, chocolates, etc. Don't forget the bargain and the place, SS6 States street.
