STOCK MARKET DECLINES
The Weakness in Sugar Was Chiefly
Instrumental.
The Falling OFF I'm the Standard
Stocks Approximated One
Point,

New York, June 1.-THE Treasury's
foreign trade statement for May was sim
ply in line with its predecessors for ten
months of the fiscal year. 1t showed an
excess of exports for the month of $685.
ss0S59 and the excess of exports for the
eleven completed months of the fiscal
year has now risen to s57l ,SS9, 037.
AS concerns the foreign situation there
Is to be considered the heavy falling off
In the amounts that will be spent in Eu-
rope this year by American tourists and
our constantly increasing exports of man
ufactured goods.
The pronounced weakness in Sugar to-
day was instrumental in unsettling the
market for other stocks. The selling in
that instance was attributed to the prob
resolution and the same factor caused a
lively upturn in Hawaiian Sugar stock.
American Tobacco was comparatively
active. The tax on the products of this
company under the new war revenue bill
is now in operation
The declines in the standard stocks ap-
proXimated one point. There was no par
ucular news bearing upon any of them,
although the relative steadiness of c. c.
c. and st. Louis was again attended by
reports that the company was arranging
for valuable connections in the middle
western States Manhattan was also
strong in the early dealings, but yielded
later with the general market.
The market closed weak and fairly
active.

about themselves. Manhattan is talking
of concessions that will permit it to build

is good indication that they will tumble

There is talk of a combination of soft
coal roads that will be greatly beneficial
to them ALL l can learn very little of
the facts, if there are any. Big Four was
strong yesterday apparently on the sup
position that the combination will be es-
pecially fortunate for it.

The weakness of Sugar Refining was
conspicuous yesterday. Sugar sold exdiv-
idend, but, instead of recovering the three
per cent. of the dividend during the day
as has frequently been the case in the
past, it lost steadily. The general i'm
preston is that the weakness of the stock
is due to the belief that Hawaiian an
nexation is now not far away. The ad-
vance of Hawaiian Sugar stock was ap-
parently due TO the same fact. 1t is the
general belief that the Sugar Trust will
suffer from annexation, and that the Ha-
waiian company will benefit by il. There
is a small coterie of observers of the
market and of Sugar especially that be-
lieve this drop of Sugar is more or less
of a bluff. There are some so full of
temerity as to believe that the Trust viii
not care very much if annexation does
come and who hint that the company has
60 per cent. of Hawaiian sugar in its
hands at the present time as a prepara-
ton for this very event.

The times., 1898-06-16

The predominant feeling Of the street
yesterday was bearish and the market
was heavy from the start There were
almost no commission orders and those
were apparently for profit taking. Pro-
fessionaI operators and room traders did
most of the business and they were for
the most part working for a further re-
action. On the whole ii may be said prob
ably that the Street does not feel con-
fident of the immediate future of the mar
ket. The causes of the apprehension are
negative rather than real. In general
there is fear that the army may meet
with reverses in Cuba-if not from the
Spaniards from disease. Ii may be said
also that the War Department is not
entirely free from such apprehensions
either. The prices of stocks have been
pushed up also in anticipation of quicker
victories for American arms than now
seem likely TO materalize. The victories
are sure 10 come but they will be delayed
from all appearances. The army moves
slowly and apparently timidly. 1t may not
be denied either that the fate of the ma
rines who We're killed at Guantanamo
has chilling effect. 1t is the fortunes of
war for men to be killed but 10 many
there is carelessness and laundering Wis
ible somewhere in this episode. There
were those yesterday who freely predicted
that the mark would go lower today and
during the remainder Of the week.

NO DELAY AFTER AMERICANS
ARE SAFELY OUT Of CUBA
Situation Brings Parties Into Accord
and There Will be Strong
1bsIi

WASHINGTON, April BLANK aston
ishmant sat upon the Capitol yesterday
when without other warning than IL
hasty executive session of the Senate the
announcement was made that there
would be no message.
Washington would have marched upon
Havana bodily could it have consulted
only its feelings. The thing that was
supposed at first glimpse to be making
for peace was nearly tile strongest blow
that has been struck for Cuba Llbre
since Spaine bHw up the Maine.
Today the feeling has crystallized
The people are willing to wait until the
last man and woman have got out OF
Cuba, and then not another hour. With
it has come the conviction that of the
halting, hesitating policy Of the admins
tration there is now an end; that longer
to pers evere init would be an insult to
the American people.
It is felt that it is no longer the cause
of Mr.. Mckinley, OF the Maine only, or
even of Cuba, but of civilization itself, of
the American people against barbarism,
that is involved in the demand that
Spain abandon forthwith the island she
has tortured and wrecked past human
endurance.
Every one i" Washington feels that
Mr.. Mckinley can no longer go back,
and that the happenings OF Yesterday
furnish the aptest illustration OF the JUS
tice of any demand he may make in his
message. If hereafter it is changed it
will b. for the worse for Spain.

kinlcy received the Ambassadors Of five
European powers at the Executive Man
sion this morning. The Ambassadors
remained with him for nearly an hour.
Those present at the conference were Sir
Julian Pauncefote, Ambassador Of Great
Britain; NJ. Cambon, Ambassador OF
France; Baron Won Holleben, Ambassa-
dor of Germany; Baron Hengelmueller,
Ambassador of Austria, and Count Vinci,
the Charge d'Affairts OF the Italian
Embassy
The Ambassadors addressed the presi-
dent as follows:
THE undersigned representatives Of
Germany, Austria Hungary, France
Gleat Britain. Italy and Russia, duly
authorized in that behalf, address in the
name OF their respective Governments, Il
pressing appeal to the feelings "i
humanity and moderation of the prcsi-
dent OF the American people, in II cir
existing differences with Spain. They
earnestly hope that further negotiations
will lead to an agreement which, while
securing the maintenance Of peace, will
afford all necessary guarantees fur the
re-establishmcnt OF order in Cuba.
''The Powers do not doubt that the
humanitarian and purely disintertsted
character Of the representation will be
fully recognized and appreciated by the
American natiun.'
The President in replying said: "The
Government of the United States recog.
nizes tie good will which has prompted
the friendly communication Of the repre-
sentatives OF Germany, Austria Hungary,
France, Great Britain, Italy and Russia,
as set forth in the address of your Ex-
ceIlencies, and shares the hope therein
expressed that the outcome Of the stu
alton in Cuba may be the maintenance
of peace between,tle United States and
Spain by affording the necessary guaran-
tees for the rcestabishmrnt OF order in
the island, so terminating the chronic
condition OF disturbances there which
SO deeply Injuries the interests and
menaces the tranquility of the Amcri-
can nation by the character and consc-
qucnccs Of the STR & ,lc thus kept ND at
our doors, besides shocking its sentiment
of humanity.
'The Government oi the tinted
States appreciates the humanitarian and
disintelestcd character Of the commune
|, cation now made on behalf Of the pow~rs
named, and for its part is confident that
equal appreciation will be shown for its
own earnest and unsclfsh endeavors to
fulfill duty to humanity by ending a
situation the indefinite prolongation Of
which has become insufferabe."
1t is understood here that the adj
dress of the Powers was submitted tn
the President merely for its moral effect
upon Spain and upon the Governments
of the world generally. 1t was not all
offer of mediation but simply an appeal
for peace on the general ground Of hu-
manity.

P. M.-Although the city is in terrible
state OF excitement no actual trouble has
occurred up to this time. Great As the
panic is among the Americans, who are
well aware Of the danger to which they
will be exposed when the long restrained

clared, ..
"A report just made, public here that
three American fleets will simultaneously
attack Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
