THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review,

New York, May S1.-There was re-
crudeScence OF bear sentiment on the
Stock exchange today in more formidable
array than at any time hitherto since
the spring reactionary period has been
In force. This sentiment met q decisive
check after Mr.. Flowers death when
the most powerful financial interests in
the country combined to support prices
and avert a panic. 1t had but newly in
augurated a campaign last week when
the decision to close the exchange for
three days left the leaders in rather
timid frame of mind about carrying
short contracts over for so long a Pc
riod: Today's slump. in prices seemed
to be distinctly a department of the
tendance at the opening of the stock
market and seeming expectation of a
dun day based partly on the fact OF the
running orders from England. Some of
the stocks which suffered most severely
in the later break showed signs of firm
ness and even of strength in tho opening
transactions. This was notably true of
Sugar. Brooklyn Transit, Manhattan
and New York Central. But signs of
strength proved to be of short duration
and by noon the bears were in complete
possession Of the field. Early declines
were obviously due to manpulations but
as the bears gained courage and assur-
ance and extended their raid they got
richer and richer returns and before the
DAY was over the general process Of
LIQUIDATION of long accounts had set in.
Aside from the spasm recovery of Sugar
in the first hour there was no material
support accorded prices at any point in
the list. Total sales, 66S 400 shares Bonds
yielded In sympathy with stocks, but
were relatively tirmer. Total sales, par

no reason why this meet should not
be successful.

ridiculed. 1t was stated that the Man.
uense was IN first-class condition when
she left this port on Oct. 26 Her en-
gtnes had been thoroughly overhauled,
and her fittings were IN the best of
condition. She was thoroughly pro-
visioned in the cabin, enough supplies
being taken for a six months trip. Her
hold was full of supplies for the sol
diers. and the officials are at a loss to
explain the alleged shortness of the food
supplies. That she was undermined is
absolutely denied, because had she been

not have been issued. AS a general
rule transports leaving this port are, if
anything, oversupplied with working
crews.
Regarding the alleged uhseaworthiness
of the vessel 1t can be stated that she
was thoroughly inspected by the treasury
department and was passed as in first
class trim. Lloyd's local Inspector Capt.
Metcalf, also inspected the vessel and
passed her. The local inspectors of huIls
and boilers made 4 thorough examination
and found her engines in excellent condi-

lethargy. 1t has been resolved to take an
active part in the politics of the country,
and to formulate plan whereby politI-

strength of the order will be given to
that party which comedies with and es-

NOT A CANDIDATE.
Admiral Dewey Again Defines His
Position on the Presidency.


NEW YORK. Nov. 2S.-Admiral Dewey
has repeated his former assertions that
he Is not candidate for the president iaI
nomination to a Washington correspond
ent.
President Mckinley is a good friend
of mine and l hope to see him secure a
second term" said the admiral II hope
my friends will not continue to talk of
my being a candidate. The American
people have too much sense to do any
thing Of that kind. 1t seems to me that
the so-called battle-scarred heroes as a
rule have made poor presidents.
President Mckinley has been a good
friend of mine, and 1 shall never forget
those noble, cheering messages that he
sent me a Manila. 1 have preserved
them ALL and shall keep them as long as
1 live
The admiral expresses much satisfac-
