The uncertainty OF events on the
foreign market and in the progress of
the war. and the uncertainty as 10 the
character of the bank statement tomor-
row. are calculated to induce traders to
continue combining their operations to
scalDing transactions. The short inter
est is so extensive and houses are car
ryJng so few stocks that this favorable
technical speculative condition of itself
Is likely to have Steadying influence,
but there is no inducement from the
present situation and outlook to enter
into any extensive operations on the
bull side. Extensive fluctuations either
way. therefore, are hardly to be ex-
pected before the end of next week.
American stocks in London are idle

There are various factors that serve
to check trading at the moment, but
there is nothing in the situation affect

warrants uneasiness over the investment

there are many factors which suggest
the holding Of good securities for higher

The quiet now prevailing at the thea

calm before a storm. There IS every IN
dIcation Of the immincnce Of the re-
sumption OF fighting on a large scale as
the proximity Of the two armies makes
1t impossible for them TO much longer
defer a renewal OF the battle The corr
respondents az the front are strangely
silent concerning the coming develop
ments. but from the slight movements
reported and the continual reconnoIter-

ed as certain that Cen Kuropatkin has
a perfectly free hand accorded him by
his elevation To- the post OF commander

Marshal Oyama Is reported 20 be FORTH

at noon today the admiralty announced
that Vice Admiral Rojestyenskys re-

be much longer delayed. This admiralty
does not offer any explanation Of how

Intention Of the British government to

contrary anything IN III nature OF un-
reasonable delay will occasion new rep
reservations. However, the admIralty's
statement conveyed to Ambassador
Hardnge today is regarded as reassur-
Ing and altogether the situation IL
considered TO have entered on a dis
tlnctly better phase, though the acute
stage cannot be regarded as having

thought Great Britain can reasonably
demand more inasmuch as Emperor

an apology for the unfortunate affair
