Tha possibility that tho destruc '2, lion of tha Mains may not haTo beta entirely accidental aroused apprehensions that ' ' mulled in liquidating sales and also In & ' sentures for short account Tho esgernett of, 'r tho Strut for news, partlciilailyfrom Wash $ lUKton, regarding tho Malno anUodo waa nn f iisunl, and though very lew facta were ob K tnlncd, tha Sttoet came to tho concluilon toward 1 tho cloe o of business that the reaction In prices L had about run Its course. Tho majority of jf (locks closod. lower than yesterday, with ja the principal declines In Metropolitan Rail' fi. war. Manhattan Railway, Northern' Paclflo pre- ferred. New York Central, Union Pacific, Sugar tf Reflnlng, and In the less active stocks, Console 5 dated Gas, Pullman's Palnco Oar, General Eloc Jp trie, Illinois Central and People's Oas. As a mat- ter of fact, the entire list reflected a disposition W to llquldnto speculative holdings, and the same flf considerations that Influenced tho selling ap- ipeared to deter purchases. Still, at the oxtremo decline good buying appeared, and this, togother with tho covering of shorts, rallied tho market In a fitful war. The ease with which prices yielded Indicated that tha market was ripe for a reaction and that the catastrophe at Havana and tho sus picions which It aroused simply precipitated a selling movement that might have been brought about by some other cause. . The market Ignored an Increase of -1 fc. of 1 cent, in a quarterly dividend If, on C, D. and Qnlncy. That stock led the list In Oi respect to activity and olosod Va V cent, lower ft, than yesterday. The indications are that dl ' reotors and their friends who knew In advance V of tho contemplated Increase In tho dividend $.', hare, as usual, taken advantage of the $ information in the stock market. In other words, the increase in the dividend has f been discounted by those who are urual- j ly described as insiders. The purchase of Jt tho subsidised portion of tho Kansas Paclflo system by the Reorganisation Committee had " no eft eot upon the speculation in Union Paclflo 3 nnd allied securities. As a matter of fact all con- rft federations that would ordinarily affect prices Vj, Were outweighed by the destruction of the j& steamship Maine and by the possibilities ms j?. Rested by that disaster. In the final dealings ,lS the covering of shorts and moderately confident ! buying for long account ltnpartod a fairly firm rff, tone to the market. Final prices were frao- j ft ' tlonally above the lowest recorded. A feature '.B- of tho market was a sudden demand for Oregon vf Bbort Line stock that lifted the prlco 3 points. fit Kew Tarfc ltett zckaaaa Bala Vets, lO.
