New York, March SO.--Evning Posts
London financial cablegram More eagles
were Withdrawn from the Bank of Eng
land to-day for shipment TO New York,
and the bank has since raised the selling
price by " penny, 10 76s Sd. There Is a
possibility, also, of rise In the bank rate
soon. After a dun opening, the stock
rnarkets here were practically booming
to-day, being led by Spanish As. Americans
and Grand Trunks There is a tendency
here again to buy Americans, and prices
were above the New York parity all day.
The close in the street was trihe under
the best There was a sharp rise IN Kaf-
frs, first on rumors of the death Of Pres
ident Kruger. and then on reports that
the Deutsche Bank has declined the terms
OF loan to the Transyaal government.
Neither Of the reports was confirmed, but
the latter, was credited In good quarters.
The satisfactory termination OF the settle
ment has given fresh heart to the mar
kets. but much liquidation must perforce
occur"
New York. March 30.-To-day's trans.
actions In stocks might fairly be termed a
runaway bul market The overwhelming
conviction OF, all operators on Wall street
seemed 10 ~ Mat a peaceful adjustment
of the controvefsy,with Spain IS probable.
Many OF the minor developments OF the
day which seemed 10 contradict this as
sumption or to threaten the defeat Of this
outcome, were persistentiy and confidently
ignored. There were reactions at times
during the .day. but these were evidently
due merely TO realizing sales by those who
were content 10 take a large profit already
assured The day closed with a buying
movement IN full force and with prices
near the highest level The days net
gains IN the railroad list ranged from / TO
points and In the specialties, gains OF
over points IN Sugar and nearly points
