with the late "Pittsburg Phil' years

carried 100000 Manhattan Elevated

Securities Are Up.

AS a result of these rumors the
market for both Russian and Japanese
securities showed unusual strength
and there was a decided feeling of
buoyancy among holders of bonds.
Even German investors, who have
shown little interest heretofore, were
buyers, and the Berlin bourse there
was a strong upward tendency.
Another thing which would seem to
give credence to the reports is the
fact that the transiberian telegraph
line has been so busy for the last three
days with government business that
no private messages have been sent or
received. This would look as if Gen
eral KurOpatkin was being consulted
as to the plan for ending hostilities.
Another thing which has a strong eff.
feet on the opinions of the displomats
is the fact that Russia has within a
few days cancelled large orders for
supplies and ammunition here and on
the continent This is known to be
true in spite of half-hearted effort to
discredit it.
1t is declared in well-informed cir.
cles that both powers are willing to
end the war if it can be done without
humiliation to either. The greatest
difficulty in the way is the question Of
indemnity.

be the demolition of the Notifications

that port free to the commerce of
the whole world. Port Arthur must
remain in the possession of Japan,
