The market was exceedingly unsettled
at the opening, and trading was fever
ishly active. Violent changes were
shown in both directions, opening gains
being wiped out rapidly, and, on the
other hand, opening declines were re-
covered swiftly Sugar was run up
points on the opening sales, but in a
few minutes of trading, lost all the
gain. Brooklyn Transit vibrated over
a range of 21s. In the international
list. Kansas and Texas preferred sold
down 2la, and number of gains of a
point were shown at the opening, in
response to the better quotations from
London: but st, Paul was forced down
Ia from the best, and unsettled that
department of the list quite materially.
The advance at other points seemed
to be pretty well held.
The trading during the first hour
was marked by great excitement and
wide fluctuations in prices. The bears
returned again and again to the at
tack and managed to get an opening
here and there. The iron and steel
stocks were the most vulnerable points,
Federal Steel dropping S1a and the pre-
ferred ga. Standard stocks were bet
ter held relatively Northwestern slid
off points on light offerings, but re-
covered. Coverings by the shorts pro-
duced a general rally before II O'Clock,
Sugar, Brooklyn Transit and Tobacco
gaining to 4 points. The average
rise in other specialties was about
point. I1@cQveries in the leading rail-
ways did not exceed fractions as a
rule. The attack was renewed on the
New York Traction stocks. Liquida-
ton in Metropolitan Street Railway
dropped to 1924 and New York city
specialties slumped sharply. Large
losses otherwise were confined to OBJ
scure properties, notably st. Paul pre-
ferred and San Francisco preferred,
which fell "a, and Big Four preferred
Az points. The market was quiet for
a while, but aggressive buying sent
prices up in a sensational manner Re
coveries from the lowest extended to

in Tobacco, 31a in Kansas and Texas
preferred. and in Metropolitan Street
Railway, Brooklyn Transit, Third Ave
nue.. Federal Steel preferred, Repub-
lie Steel preferred, and Great North

other stocks gained from 1 to 215, with
the division about equal between rail-
ways and industrials. Bonds were
lower for the majority of issues, but
the exceptions included some leading
mortgages.

Gomez Is Poor.

To the honor of Gen Maximo Gomez 1t must be said of him that while he has had many opportunities to get rich he is today poor man. He can hard 3y scrape money enough together to pay his modest current bills. Not long since an agent of the United States government was dispatched to Cuba 60 consult with the general as to the best means of securing the disband ment of the insurgent forces and their return quietly to peaceful avocations. The negotiations eventually reached point where it was deemed best for the Cuban leader to send a telegraphic message to President Mckinley.
 You frame the dispatch and send 3t," said the envoy, "and I will be back in an hour"
 At the time appointed he appeared. 'f'Bid you telegraph the president of the United States?' was his first ques- &ion.
 Gen. Gomez hesitated a moment and then replied: No, I haven't. I have prepared the dispatch. but have not put 1t on the wire. Here it is. Read 1t oyer"
 The visitor complied, and after read Ing the paper through handed 1t back with words of approval and the voiced suggestion:
 ssYou had better send 1t right away. :"
 The grizzled old veteran of a haf- efozen revolutions flushed through his swarthy skin clear to the roots of his hair, twitched his fingers nervously, stuttered and stammered and then with bowed head said
 "Senor, I would have sent it ere this, hut the truth is, l did not have the money and didn't know where to turn to get it. I am deeply humiliated to have to confess my poverty, but am obliged to do so lest you place wrong construction on my hesitancy."
 There was no further delay in get <iug that dispatch off to Washington, and the visitor separated from the ven- .erable warrior with greater respect for him than he had ever felt before. The incident satisfied him that whatever might be his faults, Gen. Gomez was at Aeast personally an honest man.
