Henry Clews says of the situation in
his weekly letter:
I'VE have had another week of dull
ness in Wall street. At the moment, the
elements of really active market do not
| appear to exist. This is one of the
months OF recreation; and although COM
paratively few are indulging in European
travel, the Summer hotels are full of
visitors, including an unusual representa-
ton of the financial class The operators
in stocks appear to have reached the
conclusion that, after such an excited
market as We have had during recent
months, a reaction or quiet was to be
| expected. They have reasoned that the
army campaign is not likely to reach
any additional victories during the hot
months, but may be, reasonably expected
TO culminate in an early peace. as the
military campaign and the Wall street
movement run on parallel lines, we may
not expect any buoyant activity in either
for the next few weeks.
1T is mainly for these. reasons that the
large July interest and dividend disburse-
ments have had no marked effect upon the
market This source of reinyestment
might have been made the occasion for a
rise in prices had few strong operators
chose To turn ii to account; but that class
OF spectators seem TO be still out of the
market and hoping for a lower range of
prices. Nevertheless there has been dur
ing the week an important investment de-
mand from this source, which has fallen
mainly upon the gilt-edge dividend paying
stocks and railroad bonds. In the latter
the transactions have been conspicuously
large, with the result of a general ad-
vance in prices. In anticipation of the
government loan, holders of railroad
bonds sold out freely. with the intention
of reinvesting in the new bonds; and now
that they see the Government issues di-
vided between the popular subscriptions
and the financial institutions they have
had to repurchase the class of securities
with which they had parted This has
some significance for the future of stocks;
for rise in corporate bonds is always
conducive to higher prices in the share
market.

lively stagnant and speculation is lifeless,

who, with the remainder Of the country
Insist that the Philippines must be held
by America. are inquiring what the
new idea Of these important financial
gentlemen means. 1t is noticeable, and
frequent subject of comment, that
the financiers who now talk Of holding
the Philippines merely as a war in
demnity are the same persons who
wished to settle the Cuban question
previous to the war by the payment
Of large indemnity by the Cubans. or
by the bestowal of autonomy upon
them.
The clear and very evident meaning
of these first propositions of Wall Street
was the saving of the Spanish bonds
to their European and American hold
ers- The thought suggests itself i'm
mediateiy to the people who remember
this that there must be similar mo-
tive behind the new attitude of the
Street toward the Philippine question.
The determination seems to have
been formed entirely within the last.
month. A campaign of education has
been begun, and il is the opinion of
observers in the Street that it will be
maintained vigorously. Mr. Clews in
sidiously makes his suggestion Of hold
ing the Philippines to secure an
indemnity, as if it were an actual
proposition, and one that would be
most Objectionable to Spain. In this
way, he endeavors to belittle the very
evident fact that America, almost as a
unit, wants the islands to be held
permanently.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Clews and
the other persons who are working to
lose the Philippines to America will
have much success in gaining converts.

Sugar is one of the stocks that has
not declined during the week. Curiously
enough, the stock of the trust was the
one stock thet the average trader ex-
pected to see decline sharply. The an

lowed by drop of several points in the
price of sugar. Instead of this while

The Vanderbilt roads have been strong
during the week. The mystery of this
is as great as that of Sugars strength.
1t may be well. however, TO point out the
fact that Now York Central is now high.

Episodes of tie war are becom

as the handspring Of a gag. They
are popular because they are usu-

permost in the minds of most men,

We overheard one this week,
which was pretty good one. Two
of our citizens were on the bond
of an official several years ago-to
their sorrow. They each had to
put up about $1,000 apiece for
friendships sake. These two citi-
zens were talking over the war one
day this week, when one of them
eagerly asked the other:
"Do you remember the time we
had to put 81. 900 apiece to make
so-and-so's bond good7"
