There Is no disguiSing the fact that many of the large operators through whose efforts prices have recently been ad- vanced have sold out. and now more in- terested in making lower prices than higher incentive for selling was mainly the revival Of the silver question. It is regarded a menace to the business situation. and is being used as a preteXt mark down the prices of stocks. Appearances indicate wavering prices before the market again gets into a position which will form a basis for another upward whirl. The increase Of silver money or its equivalent to the extent of $2, 0OO 900 at a time when money is being required to so great an extent for war purposes IS matter in itself of no very serious moment, excepting for the rdicu- lous feature Tn connection therewith-the idea of calling 1t so much profit for the Treasury. when as a matter of fact the Government stands as having made a loss of over SS0 GOO, GOO in the depreciation from the average price at which the silver was bought and the present is legslatng on the basis that the Government will realize profit of Si2, 000 O0O.'

The pressure upon the ina-- ket from that practically removed by the announcement that the enormous hold ings of cash wheat owned by the defeated wheat specuators had been taken over by pow erful financial interests, who had been able to save 1t from being sacrificed at forced sale. The course of the wheat market very plainly indicated the termination of the crisis but there was no movement to advance prices of stocks Apparently the leaders of speculation have arrived at mutual consent U let the mar ket take advantage of the further manpula- ton for rise. The course of prices was con- sequently downward in a rather ,iNil inaiket Extreme gains of point or over were regis tered In most of the active stocks during he day Sugar was the center of interest and dropped persistently to the last. closing only over four points. The expectation of a favor able vote on the Hawaiian annexation bill was was traded in ex-dividend The authorization of the army for Cuba added to the possioili- ties of setback in the campaign which would also hurt the stock market if it were to occur. This and the approach of the critical period for the crops served to emphasize the waiting dis position of speculation. Fears of tighter money result of the bond issue were also ad- vanced by the bears. But it Is probable that hand the funds which they expect to put into the new bonds. IL is evident that the banks and capitalists are preparing to take all of these bonds they can get; that is, all that are left after the small subscriptions are allotted. 1T they get what they expect the bonds they will Re used for circulation and thus supply the money market. If the popular sub scriptions larger than expected the funds accumulated by bankers and capitalists to buy the bonds will be released to the money mar ket.
