NEW YOIIK. March 1S.-Hfnry Clews ,
head of the tanking house of Henry Clews
& Oa. , writes of the situation In Wnll
street :
Wnll street shows little or no recovery
from the collapse Into which It hn fallen
under the Influence of the Cuban situation.
The Investment demand tar securities ,
though encouniKtd by the low avevKO of
prices. Is comparatively nominal. In the
speculative market thorn Is nn absence of
outside active oprutors. The uncertainty
about the final outcome of our relations
with Spain holds general | , uynB | In absolute
suspense and favorable factors appear to
hive little effect. On t.ielr Intrinsic merits
railroad stocks are certainly cheap nt cur
rent prices ; but even Investors defer buying
them , In view of the possibility of serious
Cuban developments. The supreme court
decision In the Nebraska stilt one of the
ino.it Important judgments that has yet
been Klven on the Important question of thr *
power of the states to fix rates of freight
mid which , under ordinary circumstances ,
would nave produced a considerable rlao
In prices passed almost unnoticed and pro
duced no visible effect upon valus , which
Is an expressive Illustration of the absolute
ftagnancy of the market.Meanwhile , a
nerles of factors are adding to the Intrinsic
value of stocks , which , when the market Is
relieved from Its present political trammels ,
will bo likely to find expression In very
much higher prices. Those , therefore , who
fire Independent of margins and arc satis-
lied that we shall sco this Cuban question
settled without war ( should bo able to expect
an ultimate profit on purchases nt even the
presjnt scale of prices.
At liife't the large floating- foreign balance
duo to this country lias proved too ponder
ous to yield to the various arrangements
for postponing Its settlement and gold Is
therefore flowing In from Kuropj In largo
volume. The amount shipped und engaged
for * shipment since the Influx set In Is about
Sl..OtiuXX ( ) ; and the low rates of exchange
Indicate no Immediate abatement of the
movement. It ls > helped by largo supplies
of produce bills ; but the main cause ap-
jie.irs to lie In the fact that this deferment
of settlements has reached the limits of
financial convenience. How far the move
ment may run It would be dlfllcult tu esti
mate. If It were to be measured by the
amount due to IIH the Imports of gold
would bj extraordinarily large , but the
Kuropean banks could 111 nfltord to part with
any very large sum In view of the moderate
wippllcw now on hand and the existing
threatening derangements In European poll-
ties which must be causing a good deal
of liquidation of International accounts. As
wo have , on this side the Atlantic , no pres
sure for money , but rather u plethora , the
probability would seem to be that , so soon
IIH the withdrawal * * bewln to make them
selves severely felt In London , arrangements
may bi made for a further extension of the
credits we are now granting to Europe , At
the same time , It Is to bo considered that
wo have now readied a period when the
proportion between Imports and exports
usually causes the foreign exchange bal-
nnco against us , and the factors contribut
ing to that condition may be expected to
have a certain Inllusnce In that direction
soon , though far from sufficient to liquidate
the balance remaining due to this country.
Borne allowance , however , muct be made for
the possibility that we may have to remit
for war vessels or military munitions pur
chased abroad ; but those payments would
not be Immediate , nor could they be really
eerlous In amount.
It l most fortunate that the trade bal
ance should stand so largely In our favor
In the face of the possibilities of H foreign
war. Wo have now $ I23.000.00 ( > of specie In
In the New York banks and Jica.000,000 of gold
the treasury , which , with the current
Imports of J15COO,000 , after deducting- the
$100,000.000
of reserve gold , makes a total
available supply of $207,000 , < XX ) . To this may
bo added , on a very moderate estimate ,
150,000,000 represented by foreign creditor
balances still due to us ; which , In the face
of war possibilities , plves us a total avail ,
able gold resource amounting to over $250-
000,000 to say nothing of the other stocks
of the metal In this country amounting to
over WjO.OOO.OQJ. These facts i-how an ample
financial preparedness for whatever may
come out of the condition of our present
foreign relations , and Justify confidence In
the financial future from this point of view.
The unanimous action of
congress In vet
ing KX > ,000,000 out of funds In the treasury
for reinforcing the national armaments and
defenses has had a most wholesome effect
upon the public temper and opinion. It has
Klvcn no Ftlmulus to such qualified war
ppirit as has existed , but has produced a
more serious estimate of the situation and
an assurance that. If the worst should come ,
we shall be
well prepared for vigorous
fiction. In a large measures It Is true that
to bo prepared for
war Is to
escape war ,
iTem this vote Spain will learn that our
attitude means more than tallr , that the
whole
country stands behind the adminis
tration and that If Spain drives us to the
last extremity there can be but one result
of her temerity. The action of congress will
also reach Spain Indirectly through the
courts of Europe Each government will
construe It as conclusive evidence that , If
Spain does not bring the war to an early
clore , determined action will be applied by
the United States , and under thosu circum
stances their advice to Senor Sagasta can
only be pacific , while money lenders are
not likely to give her further support ex
cept on condition that she satisfies our de
mands. For these reasons the vote of con
gress Is directly In favor of the maintenance
of peace , and It Is so construed very gen
erally In financial circles.
It begins to Icok new nn If the verdict of
the court of Inquiry In the * Maine disaster
case will be that It was caused by an ex
plosion from outside the vessel the net of
omo person or persons unknown. This will
call for an Indemnity from Spain , the meas
ure ) of which will Involve the value of the
property destroyed and a reasonable sum In
addition as compensation for the fnmlllcp
of the men killed. In the event of the two
governments falling to agree on the amount
of the Indemnity , they may be expected to
ngrec upon some Independent nation to ar-
bltrnto the case , the decision to be tlnal and
without appeal.
After this vexed matter Is out of the way
then comes the main question as to * the fu
ture status of Cuba. The time has probalily
passed for our simply recognizing the * In
surgents as belligerents. Intervention ,
backed by form means a declaration of war
with Spain. The only thing then left Is
cither to urge the Insurgents to recognize
the ne-w home rulegovfrnmont and try It
for a lAhlle. or else fcr our government to
recognize the Independence of Cuba , which
Involves our remaining neutral and letting
the Cubans and Spaniards fight to a finish.
The latter action Is the moat likely to be
adopted. I think.
The General Leo Incident , now happily
closed , might have been worse , as It I *
within the power of any government to ills-
1111SH a consul representing a foreign nation
when It considers him personal non grata ,
nnd to do so Is not a casus belli. Our gov
ernment Is on record aa having * as'crtrd
that right In the care of Sir EJvvard
Thornton , the English minister at Washing
ton. His removal was called1 for , but owing
to the delay en the part of the English
Bovernmcnt In the matter our government
lianded back to him his credentials of of
fice , which was a dismissal. England rec
ognized our right to VIe so nnd It did not In
the least disturb the friendly relations be
tween the two nation * . In the case of Gen
eral Liee , Premier Sagnrta , for reasons set
forth simply suggested to our minister that
Ills recall iwns desired. This was a much
moro courteous act than the general's dis
missal would have been , but If the latter
method had been ndoptetl Instead of the
former It would not have been a cauro of
war. The Importance of the suggestion as
Jt was only that has been exaggerated , I
think , In public estimation.
The most marketable properties In the
world at the present time .are new war
ehlps. While there Is FO much competition
for them It Is a good time for stock opera
tors to bo conservative.
l.oniloii Money Market ,
I-ONPON. March 13. The money rrmrket
Jins tightened considerably nnd an advance
Jn the bank rate Is mooted. The American
demand for gold has excelled all expecta
tion , and In addition to all the bar gold
about 100,000 In Japanese yen has been
bought for New York. This , with the with
drawn ! of eagles , has Induced the Hank of
England to ralao the price of Japanew.
Krench and German gold coins to .6 shll-
llnira 6 pence per ounce. The stock ex
change Is unsettled. Settlement was only
sot over with considerable assistance * of
the "lame ducks. " which , coupled with the
political uncertainty , keeps the market very
nervous. The fhnrp advance n Madrid ex-
rinnice U Interpreted as foreboding a col
lar * unless Paris helps. The situation In
HratU Is also making holders very uncom-
JToKl n ri , generally , wt d -
pressed. Argentines nnd Chilians range
from I'.i to 4 points lower , and llrnzlllans
4 points. Chinese and Japanese show sub-
Mantlal decrenws , while Portuguese nnd
Turklnli are leading the European declines.
Home railways nre distinctly lower , and
Americans have lost heavily , mainly on
Wnll street selling. Ixiulsvllle & Nashville
railway Miarcs fell S i points , Union Pacific
preferred 5 points , Chicago , Milwaukee &
HI. Paul 4 points , Eric > sts 3i points ,
Northern Pacific preferred 3 > 4 points. Union
Pacific 3 > i points , Atchlson , T6tickn &
Santa Ve adjustment 3U points. New York
Central & Hudson Itlvcr 3V4 paints , Norfolk
& Wcftern preferred 3 < i points , Illinois
Central : ! points , Missouri , Kansas & Texas
2dft 3 points , Wabash Income 3 points ,
Atchlson. Topeka & Santa Fe preferred 23i
points , Denver & Illo Grande 2 % points ;
Northern Pacific ordinary 2 % points , South
ern preferred 2 % points , Denver & Itlo
Grande common , Erie common , Missouri ,
Kansas & Texas common , Norfolk & West
ern ordinary nnd Wabash preferred shares
from 1 point to 154 points. Canadian rail
way shares suffered small decreases , nnd
Argentine nnd Mexican railways went from
2 to 2 ! $ points' lower. The Saturday Review ,
referring to the flotation of the joint stock
company which will take over the business
of Sir Tnomas Johnstono I.tpton , says : "Tho
quotntlons on the shares represent nothing
more than n Rumble , nnd the calm exami
nation of the piwpectus compels the con
clusion that the company Is overcapitalized.
The actual dividend on the basis of the
profits of 1M7 will be only n little over 4
par cent. Snares bought In the market at
the present premium of % show , therefore ,
u yield of only 216 per cent. "

NEW YOIIK , Mnrch 12. Tito Financier
says : So fur ns relative strength Is con
cerned the New York clearing house banks
ara In u stronger position now than nt the
close of business one week ago. The policy
of retrenchment seems to have been rather
generally followed by thi larger Institutions
and the loss of $10,392-00 ! In loans , ns shown
by the statement of March 12. corresponds
closely with the reduction of HO.u3S.riOV In
deposits. Early In the week the liquidation
In loatip was a marked feature , as n num
ber of the banks were below their reserve
requirements nnd desired naturally to In
crease their cash holdings. The unsettled
Block exchange conditions havn also con
tributed toward the falling oft rhown In
the averages. The banks appear to have
lost SU.-IKMOO In legal tenders , but the re
ceipts of the flrut gold Imports swelled the
specie Item $3,93STCO , so that the actual loss
In cash for the week was only $736,700. The
reserve requirements , owing ; to the de
crease In deposits , were reduced $2G3JG23 ,
und taking from this the actual loss In
cash , the result Hhows that the banks have
added $ lS > D7i25 ! to the excess reserve re
ported one weak ago. There Is now en
gaged or en route to America over $12,000,030
In gold nnd ns this will llnd Its way Into
New York banks , excepting , of course , the
? . > 00.000 odd for Chicago , the outlook must
be regarded as reassuring- will b seen
that this center can stand : i heavy drain
without weakening the position of the local
bunks , although why there should bo a
continued movement of funds to the In
terior , with bunk reserves at nearly every
principal center heavier than usual , Is a
matter that cannot bo explained easily. The
local money rates durlrffr the week have
reflected nn easier feeling , falling off some
what at the clos ? . Many of the larger
banks seem to be out of the market on
commercial paper , but out of town Institu
tions , which ore not affected by the with
drawal of money , have been doing consid
erable business at this point. It is , of
course , Impossible , In view of foreign com
plications , to predict how money will turn
within two weeks , but It will require a
very severe crisis Indeed to bring the mar
ket to n n acute stage. A continuance of
gold Imports would operate against Its ex
istence for more than u brief period of time.

CHICAGO , March 12. The break In Wall
street made another bad "quarter of an
hour" In wheat today , causing July to break
about 2c. TIncre was another struggle In
May between the l.eltcr nnd Armour Inter
ests , but Lcller managed to maintain the
former' price , loiter applied to the directors
for a marginal price on May wheat , which
tended to relieve the tension toward the
close. The day's decline In July was llic.
Kvcrytblng else on the lloor nSowed weak
ness. especially .provlslonn , declines of 7HS
" 3c being recorded In that market. Coin
closed u shade lower and oats lost U < 3sC.
Wheat Btnrted ns If u rally after th ; weak
ness of yesterday were to take plaoc. Hold
ers were encouraged by the steadiness
shown by foreign markets , especially Liver
pool , In the face of yesterday's tumble In
prices here. It was also known that Letter
had placed additional shipping orders of
nearly 150,000 bu. Offerings at first were
comparatively of small volume , whlls quite
a good scattered demand was apparent. Bids
wurc made for July at the opening nt SS',4 ®
.SSHc. This wan Uc over yesterday's closing
price and the buying demand was enough
to Hdd another small fraction to the price
In n very short time. The market held fairly
steady for sometime nt around that price ,
but finally the weakness In Wnll street , giv
ing rise to apprehensions of liquidation In
everything else , brought longs Into the mar
ket to unload. It als } resulted In an almost
total cutting off of support and professional
shorts , taking advantage of that fact , ham
mered the prlca down rapidly. For about
tlfteen minutes the market was excep
tionally weak , July selling down without n
stop to SGc. a break of 2c from the high
est point. The decline brought a good
many ttop loss orders nnd considerable sellIng -
Ing was also done through fear of another
attack on May by the big bears. In this
holders were agreeably disappointed. Plenty
of May was offered , but there was nothing
like the concerted attempt to break the
market which took place yesterday , and
Letter's brokers had comparatively little dif
ficulty In keeping the price nt $1.04. An
other Influential factor was the New York
bank statement. The market , utter getting
down to S Gc for July , gradually grew
qulJter. The steadiness of May had a good
effect on the nerves of the July holders and
brought some of the early sellers back.
Shorts who had big profits on the break
also covered freely and the price gradually
crept back to 80c. Then for sometime al
most a holiday dullness prevailed , with
fluctuations frequent and narrow. Late In
the session a good deal of excitement was
caused by a formal application by Lelter
to the directors for a marginal price on
May , which was done , he said , In order to
relieve the tension. Tills action had a favor
able effect on the market nnd resulted In n
further advance In July , that delivery
finally getting up to S7c , where It closed.
May closed nt $1.04. After the session closed
It became known that Lelter had sold
2,000,000 bu. of contract to Counsulmnn &
Day. The price was not stated , I.elter
merely saying It was disposed of at "mar
ket price. "
Corn was weak -with wheat. There was

CATTLE There was a pretty fair run
of cattle hero for a Saturday , the receipts
footing up more than Chicago and Kansas
City combined. Included In the receipts
there were several cars of calves on their
way west which were not offered for sale.
The majority of the cattle on sale were
corn fed beeves , with a light sprinkling of
butchers' stock and feelers.
Beef Steers For a Saturday the fat cattle
market was In very good shape , although
the offerings were fairly liberal. Uoth
shippers and packers were on deck with
orders and the desirable bunches of cattle
soon changed hands. The prices paid were
fully steady with yesterday's market.
Butchers' Stock With only four or tlvo
loads of cows and heifers In the yards It
could hardly be ? ald that there was enough
to make a real test of the market. What
there were sold rendlly nt steady prices.
Among the offerings there was one bunch of
heifers good enough to bring $4.10.
Stock Cattle In the stocker and feeder
division there was the usual Saturday's
quiet. Both offerings and demand were light
and the amount of business transacted \vas
comparatively small. , As regards valuss
there was no quotable change.
HOGS Today's receipts of hogs weie the light
est since Monday , apd lighter than a week ago
by $09 head. The 'market opened weak to Co
lower , that Is. with tiie bulk of the good loads
celling at $3.75 , an against 13. SO yesterday. A
rmall sort or fatbacks sold nt $3.00.
The market was not very actl\e at any time ,
and before many loads , had changed hands It fell
flat and far a time , nettling- was doing. The
buyers would take the Hogs If they , could get
them at their own-pr6e. ! whlch'Mvas $3.70. Sellers
did not feel like making the concession , and
there matters stood for some time In the end
practically everything wag sold , the late sales
being principally at $3.70 and $ J-72't , with a few
at $3.75. The average of all the sales was Sc
lower than yesterday.
The hog market of the past week , as well as
the markets for many other commodities , suffered
considerably from the vrar talk , A lack of con
fidence In the future course of the market per
vaded all branches of the provision trade. As
n natural resurt , the hog market gradually fell
for lack of support , and It was the low week
rlnce the middle of last month. The week
opened with values about where they left off
the week before , hut the tendency from that
date on was steadily lower , excepting a slight
reaction on Thursday. At the close of the week
values were 7',4o lower than at the close of the
previous week.
SIIEICI1 Only four loads of sheep and lambs
werfl offered today and they brought Just about
steady prices. The demand contlnuea active for
desirable mutton sheep and yearlings and offerIngs -
Ings of such have met with ready sale all the
week at strong prices. At the same time lambs
have been In such large supply all the week
that the market has had a downward tendency.
