HHk 8- THE SUN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1898. HHWt 1,," . I ,91;? vinanoiax. Aim commercial. LfKnisaKFi WKDNrsDAT, Fab. 0. HfflH&. There was a furtbor falling- off to-day 'n Jth KBui transactions In both stocks and boruli. ItwM HrflsaflnvV aott pronounced In ths lost nnmod. There wai K'HH alio In many cases n further reaction In prices, HHSI, In gplte of an advancing markot early In the BJHHRf day, which resulted larpolr from a renorralof KfHS'i yesterday's support from London. Wall street BHr.t takes such a lively Interest In the Cuban KHKV situation, with Its possibilities of a rupturoot HK' diplomatic relations botvreen this country and HjaHHE? Bpaln, that It scorns Inclined to Ignore, othor ssBIiWmI v? circumstances alTectlng tbo course of prices. isiWsHBHwv" At tha momont ln0 authenticity of the Do BsBD Wmo letter, tho dobates In tbo Scnato ssiV-.Bl9fr' relative to tho Cuban Insurgents, and tho Hl'SHw j developments from day to dny at Havana cn- K m' t, eross the attention of tho speculative commu- B' M; ' ? lty to such an extent that comparatively little iBEr Wh i ') ,9 ,1'1 nDOUt wuat '" taken place In tbo socu- Hyi W- ! rlty markot within the lost six weoks. In that V 'wii h period largo amounts of bonds and of high- Br, 'Mi,, i grade stocks havo been absorbed by rich In- iVjp V restore, and campaigns that presumably iVli' sw ' ) txiv6 boen succcs8ful UKTS ucsn conducted Hi nil ' 'i" In n comparatively small number of stocks H 9mti ' & offected by specific considerations. Conspicuous sH itMk- ' S nmnnir theia are MetroDolltan Street Railway. Hj ,JK ' '? ' New York Central. Manhattan Railway, North V jH' & em Paclflo and Union Paclflo Issues. The K "S7 j market has been far from a general one, for a Hr HW j Tery largo percentage of the securities listed on sK "1 ' . tbB Slock Exchange have not participated In Hi f(B;f , tho movement. It seems fair to Infer, thoro WL HK $ fore, that easy monoy and satisfactory railway K ttiK i tralllo returns havo not brought the genoral B tHf ' f publlo Into the market. The most encouraging HI imi ) development so far this week Is the appearance K tlBjj ", of London as a buyer. Should tho demand from Bj rW.-t , '' that quartor continue, a revival of looal Interest H1 ''Hi' " I In a number of stocks that havo heretofore been Hi , HI , 4' tpeoulatlvo favorites might reasonably bo ex Hj -9W if pectod and might counteract tho extensive re El 'Hf nlltlng of profits that has unquestionably taken H Si .U placo. H 'Ik' h Tho first hour of business was enlivened by a sK Hfl 'if rlB0 ot "earlT 0 points in Metropolitan Street H; K (j! Hallway. Although thero was a sharp reaction Kr K from the highest figure, the stock retained Bn HI f nt tho cIo0 ot business all but ono point sH 'Hi B ' tno oxtromo advance. The movement H lift- .y was attended by rumors of an Impend- N 'H? I' ,nff ocrlp Hldand of 33 V cent, and H -w k also by reports ot a raoro complcto alliance than Hi ?HI & At Pre,ent between tho company and Its only Ht BV v, competitor In oporatlng surfaco railways, nsmo- Hl Ht ly, the Third Arenua Itallrond Company. Ncl- Hi JK ' ther of these reports has yot boon confirmed, H3, ' V but thero aro indications that thero Is n good H, H j deal of foundation for the first If not for tho H& B ;' second. Sugar Itoflnlng showed a littlo more K '-Wg f(,- Tltallty than It has of late, and tho Orangor HI: !Hx stocks were very firm under tho influenco of a il iB' recovery in tho price ot Northwestern. Union Hm -Hf ' '' Paclflo Issues wero bettor, on advices from Hi H ' Washington of an Impending compromise bo- H' :WR, I', tween the Reorganization Commlttco and Hji H .j tho Government in the Kansas Paclflo mat- U Ak 'S ter. Tho Qovernment has, according to all Rj' He- '4 accounts, made Its final preparations for bid- ski iV V ding In the subsidized portion of tho Kansas H, nV- Sf Paclflo system at tho foreclosure sale noxt Tues- H, HVj ! day. But It U significant that the special K H$ -J! counsol of the Qovernment goes to the sale K K S" ' with authority to treat with the Reorganization HjBf fi Committee. It Is also Interesting to note that the K) K tv "" prloo of Kansas Paclflo consols, which are a lien wtf HH ' upon the entire system, but subordinate to that ' . Hi h; ot the Qovernment upon the Eastern and mid- LRT 2 (U divisions, have advanced rapidly In prlco . k ix within tho last week or more, and the mar- HP '"'' 'or tnom to-day was not adversely ; i Hl ' affected by ovldcnco that tho Government jBt' y,i! Intends to carry out Its programmo re- K ;y irardlng ths subsidized portion of the road. Ei HK; f i Manhattan Railway was conspicuously heavy !' Bi 5 throughout, nnd, as it rankod second in respect ',; Kf-, 'rj to activity, its course had quite a littlo off oct ,; Hg !M ttpon speculatlvo sentiment. New York Cen- T K?- S ra' -wa9, a's0. ono of tho 'airly actlvo 4! aHi ?? - stocks that closed lower than yesterday, fVnHSF "' although it Is positively asserted that the ij;- Ky g: collateral trust mortgago which the com- x Hk & pany Is now about to exocuto to secure ;" Hf. ?' absolute control of tho Lako Sboro Railroad Is l1. jH- fe being drawn In a manner that will secure to the By jHt- '1 purchasing company all of the net earnings of y H 'if the Lako Shore system In excess of 7 13 cent, Kr iK:' iv upon Lako Shore stock. In other words, Hfei the mortgage will not contain a sinking ii MtS I;-1 fund provision. Aftor selling off sharply '' IB? during the afternoon hours, tho market 'i Hvi ! rallied fractionally Just at the close, on B'' rUif1 prlvato advices from Washington, which proved S Hf ''J? to bo incorrect, that the Administration would f; KI ,-,- take no notice of the De Lomo letter and would W', Hif 'W be satisfied with a donlal of its authenticity by Kr S tho alleged writer of It. ?
