Stocks and Bonds.

New York, May 23.-The varying
fluctuations of the price level on the
stock exchange today reflected a con-
dition of uncertainty and good
deal of mystification of the specula-
tive mind The mystery continued to
center around the source of the effect
i've and imposing selling of yesterday.
1t became evident very quickly today
that neither the impairment OF mar
gins nor the nervous feeling aroused
by yesterdays weakness had resulted
in any considerable accession of the
selling pressure Public sentiment
was made almost Immediately of the
suspension of the Merchant Trust
Company and professional bear trad
ers followed their invariable rule OF
huying stocks to cover short contracts
when the bad news which induced the
short selling mas come out. When the
urgent demand from the shorts had
been satisfied the scarcity of any other
buying became conspicuous and hest
tation and uncertainty overcame the
speculative mind again. Immediate
news of the day had little to do with
the course of prices. An easier tone in
the grain markets gave an admoni-
ton that yesterdays crop scare was
probably overdone, and today's
weather reports from the grain belt
were better The difficulties of the
Merchants Trust Company have been
generally understood for some time
and their origin in old standing condi-
tons deprived the incident of any
power for violent effect. TIE ease of
money was unaltered but sterling ex-
change continued to advance. The
market was practically in a torpor
during the latter part of the day and
practically all of the days gains were
yielded under very light pressure Of
selling. The closing was easy and
some of the market leaders were be-
low last night.

Good and evil are all CANNON and

the things we do because it is impos-
sible for us to do anything else.

buying and a little bull support, based
on high cables and continued rains IN
the belt. But there was active sellnS
at the advance for both accounts ap~
parently, encouraged by expectations
of a bearish weekly report at MID
day and the reports of unsettled con-
ditions i'm Wall street under which
prices worked off to the closing prices

CUbA-BRITAIN PACT
MAY NOT Be RATIFIED
Islands Business Men Say Treaty
Gives England Best of the
Bargain.

The pending treaty between Cuba and
Great Britain, which was signed last
May after the definite favored-nation
clause had been eliminated as a result
of representations made by United
States Minister Squiers, may not be
ratified after all. although Cuba's sec
rotary of state. O'Farrell. seems to be
strongly IN favor of the treaty.
TT. foreign relations committee of
the Cuban senate does not seem to be
impressed with the belief that the
treaty is just the thing TO advance
Cuba's interests. To ascertain the opin-
ion of the business interests of the ISL
and the foreign relations committee re-
quested the Havana Chamber of Com
merce and the Central Economic Assoc
citation to pass upon the commercial
value of the pending treaty
Both associations were unanimous
in the opinion that the treaty gave Great
Britain the best of it; that 1t granted
greater privileges to British warships
and merchantmen than are accorded
the ships of the United States. Also,
IL is asserted, the privileges TO be
granted are not permissible in view
of the relations between Cuba and the
United States
In the judgment of the two associa-
tions the treaty is held TO be inimical
to the best interests of Cuba and the
United States. This opinion, however.
is not shared by Cuba's secretary OF
state.
