NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest of Exchange News-M Mining Stocks
Metal Quotations-wool Prizes and
Movements-Gr Sra and Pro-
duce-Review OF Trade.

New York. Sept. 6.-To-day's stock mar.
ket was variable and irregular at al
times. but was more or less und ,r the
continuing influence Of the shrinking sur
plus reserves of the banks and ,he sitter
rates for money. General speculation was
almost at a %standstil and the movement
OF the market was confined largely to
special stocks, the trading being highly
professional throughout. The opening was
higher In sympathy with London. 1t
quickly became evident, however. that no
outside interest had been enlisted here
and the professional bears attacked the
list in weak spots.
A number of individual stocks showed
conspicuous strength all day and a rally
In Peoples Gas drove the bears to cover
and made them more cautious. The
strength became general In the late deal
ings under the leadership of st. Paul and
the close was strong at the best prices
of the day and generally at a level above
Fridays close. The fear of Interrupted
traffic through yellow fever quarantine
was a factor in the early weakness, es-
pecially in Southern Railway preferred,
but at the same time there was an ad-
vance of 2s in Illinois Central and con-
spicuous frmness In Louisville on the
prospect Of resumption of havana tranhc.
Baltimore & Ohio was also heavily bought
by the banking interests all day and
showed an extreme gain of 5 points.
Other strong features were Denver pre-
ferred, Atchison preferred. Reading LIST
preferred, Denver & Gulf. the Pacific
Coast Improvement stocks and the
grangers in sympathy with St. Paul on
the advantageous showing in the latter's
annual report. The dominant factor in
the situation. however, continues to be
the absorption of money by the United
treasury on account of subscrip-
tions to the new bonds.
Cali money continued firm, with 3 per
cent. the ruling rate.

main firmly held. Total sales, SO. 44o, 900. u.

WHITE DOESN'T WANT IT
No Doubt That He Will Decline
the Appointment.
AN EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT
The President Has Already Made a
Tender of the Commissioner
ship-The Body Is in No
Sense judicial.

Washington. Sept. 6.-Secretary Day
will probably not resume the discharge
OF he functions of secretary of state
and 1t may be assumed that his connec-
ton with the department save in the
capacity of peace commissioner termin-
ated when he left Washington for Ohio
recently. Upon his return to Washing
ington 1t is expected that he will come
to the state department for the purpose
of bidding farewell to the employees.
There is no longer a reasonable doubt
that Justice White has decided to de-
clin the appointment of peace commits
sioner and that he refrains from maxi
ing public announcement of his purpose
at the request of the president. 1t is
that a very early announce
ment may be looked for, as there is rea-
son TO believe that the president already
mas made a tender of the commissioners
snip and is now waiting an acceptance
before making public that fact.
Arrangements of the departure of the
commissioners are being pushed. Act
ing Secretary Moore, with the assist
ance OF Mr.. Macarthur, is giving a great
zeal or time to the collection of docu-
ments n charts needed by the Ameri-
can commissioners in their work and the
subjects likely to arise in connection
with the negotiations are receiving clos
est. study at the hands of those gentle
men. Especially is this true of the Phil
ippines, which promises to be the bone
OF contention before the commission,
consequently Acting Secretary
Moore is devoting the best share of his
to that phase of the subject.
To establish a clear understanding of
the scope of the commissioner power it
is stated upon authority that his body
Is not in n sense judicial, but purely
diplomatic. The procedure will not be
OF a character where numerical voting
strength will determine any proposition,
but the commissioners on each side are
expected to act as separate units. Should
differences arise they must be settled by
the ordinary course of diplomatic nego.

Yesterday the Ofelia Cuban military
hospital, recently opened at Mariana. in
the outskirts of Havana, was visited by
upwards of 5000 Cubans. Great excite
ment prevailed. For a time it was feared
trouble would ensue If vent was given
to the feelings on both sides, but fortu-
nately nothing happened.
On saturday evening Senior Eduoard
Dolz' secretary Of posts and telegraphs
In the colonial government, accompa-
MED by his wife and the Marquis de
erVer military commander at Mari
ano, visited the hospital. They were re-
ceived with military honors. The Gu
ban troops saluted them with the same
honors.
Reports from Baracoa by wav Of
Clenfuegos say that absolute peace and
quiet reign there and in the vicinity.
Much disease is reported from Guines

nave become epidemic in Havana, which
is natural, and the poor and middle
classes, already weakened by a low
diet during the blockade, fall an easy
prey.
According to a letter from ManzaniIIo
dated last Thursday that port has not
suffered from the blockade. Potatoes
and onions suddenly disappeared from
the market, but since the news of peace
arrived, in spite of the fact that no YES
sci has landed a cargo there, both these
vegetables are again on the market
and selling at the ordinary prices. The
only articles that advanced in price at
Manzanillo during the blockade was
rice, which sold at $40 a hundredweight,
and flour, which sold at $55 a sack. The
general feeling at Manzanillo is uncer-
tainty as to the future of Cuba.
Captain General Blanco has pardoned
and released 10 prisoners who were

Advices from Sagua la Grande state

SOON WORKED OUT.
No True Fissure Veins In the Alaska Gold
Fields,

San Francisco, Sept. Capt. John
McCanerty, ex-collector of customs for
Alaska, and a mining engineer by pro-
f%ession, has arrived here from Dawson
city. His summing up of his expert
ence is that the gold placer ~diggings of
Alaska are short lived and that there
are no true assure veins in that terri
tory, because the country is too much
broken up and because the geological
indications are such as to warrant the
conviction that there is no gold-bear-
ing quartz Tin place" Large broken
deposits" of gold. or bonanzas, may be
found there, but they will be of the ma
ture of pockets, and will not last. The
most surprising opinion expressed by
him is that the present diggings are on
the point of being worked out. and that
many of them have barely paid ex-
penses.
The steamer Portland arrived late to-
night from st. Michaels with treasure
estimated at from 81, 500. 900 to 50. 900. 900.
She brought DOWN a large number of
passengers, most of whom were car
penters. who had been employed at ST.
cha in putting together river craft.
There were about So or 40 miners on
board, nearly all being well supplied
with gold dust and nuggets.
