ANCE OF ATTENTION.
Business On the Decline, However,
Was the Most Animated of the
Day-Distrust of Spectators En-
gendered By Senate Debate-Bond
Market Held Firm.

New York. Feb. 1S-The tone of the
speculation was doubtful and hesitating
in Wall street today, and a large prepon-
derance of the days dealings were in SUI
gar and the grangers. Nearly 60 per cent
of the total transactions We're in these
stocks. Coupled with the fact that the
total sales OF all stocks showed a marked
decrease in the recent average, the large
proportion absorbed by these SDecialties
formed significant commentary upon
the condition into which the market has
fallen. After the opening weakness due
TO London and some other exchanges had
been overcome. il looked as though the
strength radiating from the grangers had
prevailed in the market, but the increaS-
ing weakness OF sugar, coupled with a fall
in the prices of local New York special
ties in the final hour. was a decisive fac
tor in driving prices below last nights
level.
SENATE DEBATE.
The radical utterances made in the
course of the debate Drecipitated in the
senate on the Maine disaster also engen-
dered distrust in the minds of spectators,

curities were strong on rumors, that the
reorganization in prospect would bear
easily on them.
