The outside public apparently became
frightened and at the opening there
was quite large volume Of selling or
GERS awaiting execution. To strengthen
the pellef IN lower market, London
sent decidedly weak range for Amer
lean securities, and with even the pro-
iesslonal contingent@inc to lean
toward the bear side, the opening de-
clnes extended from y to ~ per
cent, the stocks of the local corpora
lions being relatively the weakest.
The depression however, did not come
IN the nature Of a surprise. Satur-
days manipulation appeared made
quate to eliminate the entire short in
terest from the market, and some short
covering soon after the opening re-
suited in substantial rallying. prices

urday's close. Trading lapsed into
dullness, and the grains were soon
lost. There continues to be good buy

Stocks-The only feature discernible
in to-day's stock market was its dull
ness This dizziness was the exact re-
Election, however, of the doubt and
hesitation which prevail in all finan-
cial circles over the next probable de-
yelopment in the Cuban question. APP
parently there was a limited volume
of sales for short account at the OPEN
ing which resulted in sharp declines
TO practically the low point of the day.
There were lower prices made in some
few stocks later in the aimless drift
ing OF the market. Business was. how
ever almost stagnant after the OPEN
ing until near the close, when there
was sharp rally in prices apparently
due to the rebuying of stocks sold at
the opening. There was no spirit or
animation in the rally and prices drift
ed downward again at the close. There
was only a small volume Of stocks Of
fering all day, but the demand was al
most nothing and the result is that
the prices are lower all around, losses
reaching a point in some of the lead
ing specialtieS. There is every indi-
cation of a large outstanding short in
terest in the market, but in the pres
ence of the possibilities in the politi-
cal outlook this interest is very per-
sistent in declining to cover. 1t is the
prevailing belief that early develop
ments at Washington will include the
report of the Maine naval board of in
quiry and a Presidents message on
that and Cuba. This keeps purchasers
out of the market and on the other
hand the large short interest warns
the bears to proceed with caution. The
consequence is semi-stagnation, such
as was witnessed to-day. Such selling
as there was was attributed to Wash
ington account, and there was some
selling also by large individual opera
tors. London was a seller, but not to
a large extent. The list Of stocks and
bonds that moved at all was a COM
paratively short one, the market being
very narrow. Foreign exchange stiff
ened slightly to-day and no engage
ment was announced of gold for i'm
port. Discounts in London and Ber-
lin were reported slightly easier The
outlook here favors easier money on
account of the gold importations al
ready arrived or on the way. Banks
are not yet disposed to make time
loans and great caution in the buying
of commercial PIPER is also mani
fest

Chicago March 21-Cables from
Liverpool showed about 3sd loss, and
the local market opened off sympa-

the principal early influences were the
