Stocks.-The insignificant net chan
{ges in most stocks are a fair indica
ton of neglected condition of The days
market. The prospects of early peace
with Spain, the assurance of cheap mo-
ney, and the already secured crops are
not sufficient to induce buyers to take
stocks. Holders are equally aversc to
}selling at the existing level. Such a
market naturally invites aggression
by the bear element, but the profess
eional manoeuvre of selling short some
one stock or group of stocks which is
particularly vulnerable has again and
again failed to make any notable I'M
preston on the general list, which con-
tinues inactive, apparently awaiting
for business conditions to change eth

tually on the grain markets these days.

turn an answer to the Spanish govern
ment through M. Cambon within the
course of the day. The President has
not, solar as can be learned, changed
in any degree his disposition to take
the American people into his conf
dence in dealing with this most diff
cult and delicate subject, and about
the only restraint that is imposed upon
publicity at this stage, is that caused
by the observance of the amenities of
diplomatic exchange. Thus. it Will be
necessary to communicate to the
French ambassador the decision of the
administration before the same can be
known to the American public. This
is the rigid requirement of diplomatic
courtesy, and to fail in this apparently
trivial point would be to invite remon-
STRANGE that might end in the serious
interruption of the negotiations. 1t is
said that the governments response
will be "handed'' to M. Cambon,
whence it may fairly be inferred that
the ambassador is to call in person for
it at the White House as soon as he
is notified that the answer is ready.
The simple matter of handing this
communication to the ambassador
may involve quite important results.
In the event of its being sent to him
or handed to him. this act will be in
the nature of finality, and there will
be nothing remaining for the ambassa-
dor to do but to forward the commune
cation to Madrid. If, on the other
hand, he is invited to the White House
to receive the communication, it opens
up the possibility of a conference be-
tween the President and the ambassa-
dor, which may carry forward the sub
ject considerably beyond the point
specified in the answer of the United
States government. 1t is probable,
however that the action of the gov
eminent will be restricted simply to
handing the answer to the ambassa-
dor, after which, without further dis
cussion, elaboration or explanation,
it will be for Spain to make the next
move. Up to to-day the Spanish gov
eminent has given no intimation
whatever as to its attitude or purposes
beyond the original proposition sub
mitted last Tuesday, though many
public men say the administration full
ly expects peace to result from it's an
swer.
The Universal Peace Union has sent
to Ambassador Cambon letter of cor
graduation on his course in present.
ing to the American government over
lures for a cessation of hostilities
The letter expresses a sincere hope for
a restoration of peace, and that

poses of this movement may be real

semblance cf nu1l1Shuess ont OF corn
to-day. It appeared to he taken for
granted that corn, Ike the belated sim
ner, could be saved at the last hour.
There were millions for sale at the
opening CT the session at 1c bushel
under the previous days closing price.
There was some recovery on covering
and on buying against puts, but the
market did not show strength. Country
acceptances of cash buyers were very
large. September opened A@1c lower
at from 34Ac down to 34c, sold near
the end as low as $3.50 and closed with
buyers at 331ac bid. Lower Liverpool
cables and fine weather in the north
west started wheat lower. The course
of the price Of corn was so decidedly
downward the first hour that wheat
had a further decline in sympathy.
There was very prevalent idea that
while receipts were running light there
was a great abundance of wheat in the
country and the trade acted as II the
world could be fed on ideas. Business
was quiet and narrow. While weak
ness was the main feature, there was
no special slump and the decline was
slow and gradual. July advanced &c
early on a slight covering, selling at
73hc, but the rally did not hold
Atlantic port exports of wheat and
-four amounted to 4C7,000 bushels. Ar
gentine shipped no wheat to Europe

ALL INTEREST CENTERED
In Yesterdays Meeting Of the Cabinet end
and the Possible Outcome of It's Delibera-
tons.

WASHINGTON, July 29-Interest
focused this morning on the approach
ing cabinet meeting. 1t was the gem
eral expectation that in it's results that
this meeting of the cabinet would
prove to be the most important that
has been held, not only during the
---eSent, out III many preceding admin
istrations. Upon the nature of the an
swer to the Spanish overture for
peace would depend the whole future
policy of the United States, for it
would determine whether the nation
shall now embark upon a policy OF
world wide expansion or shall more
cautiously content itself with expell-
ing the Spanish Stag from the western
hemisphere. while at the same time
providing what may be in the end am
pie guarantee for the extension of our
trade in the east. All this means In
substance that in the best judgment
of close observers here the one critical
point is the future of the Philippines
AS near as can be ascertained from
personal inquiry a clear majority OF
the cabinet are disposed to be content
with the requirement of a coaling sta
ton in the Philippines allowing Spain
to retain the remainder of the group of
islands. However, it may be stated
that within the last IS hours the Pres
ident has confined his condolences
closely to the Secretary of State, SO
that the remaining members of the
cabinet entered the White House to-
day with their minds in receptive
condition as to any arguments that
might be presented upon this import
ant proposition, even prepared for de-
lay In connection with peace nego-
tiations, osme significance was at
tached to the fact that the members of
the war board conferred with Secre-
tary Long in his office just before that
official left for the cabinet meeting.
While these conferences are frequent,
there was a disposition to regard this
particular one as having a bearing on
the present negotiations, as Capt. Ma
han and the other naval Strategists
composing this board would be able to
give valuable advice on the strategic
value and necessity of coaling sta
lions in the Philippines, Ladrones and
other points on the highway to the
orient.
Secretary Day has clear idea now
as to what he desires, and when he
left the State Department to-day for
the White House ne had his views
outlined and ready for submission to
the cabinet in documentary form. 1t
may be that the Secretary's presenta-
ton of the case will be so clear and
