New York, May 12.-The bulls had the
better of the speculative contest to-day.
| but the edge was taken off the rise In
the last few minutes of trading by a
vigorous bear raid. The continued pur-
chases for London account and the lack
| of strain in either the money or sterling
| exchange markets we're features of conf
dence. Moreover. 1t was announced that
the final 100000 warrant in connection
with the Spanish indemnity would be de-
| posted on Monday In a local bank, which
| announced that all the needed exchange
| had been secured, and this was favora-
| bly, interpreted as to It's probable effect
on sterling exchange. The known move
ments of money, although often mislead-
| ing, were thought TO forecast a favorable
bank statement, as there had been but
few known industrial consultations
financed.
AT times the stock market was very
cratic; there was first recession from
the opening higher level. and then a grad
| ual recovery until near the close. Sugar
moved over radius of nearly 10 points
and closed with rise of 6; Brooklyn
| Transit lost nearly a point net, but closed
| nearly 2 points above the figure reached
| In the raid. American Tobacco lost nearly
| points, after a dip of twice as much.
| Metropolitan dropped to Kiss. jumped
over points, and left off with a gain OF
| over points. The iron and steel shares
| were rather weak, as were the Coalers.
| but the Pacihcs and Changers were strong,
| with fractional advances appearing pretty
| general In the rest of the list
| Immense blocks of high grade mort-
| cages were taken to-day at improved
| prices. and the strength of these issues
| exercised a stimulating effect on the spec
| ulative liens. Considerable activity was
| noted. The market generally improved.
