Dradstrcefa nnan- clal review tomorrow will say : Active nnd exciting speculative conditions this week replaced the dull and dragglns tendency which had for some tlmo ho'd possession of ( he market. Theie has been great It regularity In the movement of prices nnd nn exceptional range of iluctuatlons. Developments In connection with our re lations to Spain hnvo been the controlling factor to the excision of everything , else , prices respondlns with readlnp.ss to indica tions of n favorable outcome of the negotia tions between the governments and react ing on any developments or rumors of an exciting kind. IJecoverles on Saturday and Sunday list and ngaln on Wednesday , t"iouih largely due to covering by the overgrown short In terest. seemed to attract renewed public participation while Hurope has also been a consldetable factor In the market. Throughout the week there was evidence that powerful llnanclal Interests have been active In the movement. There has seemed to bo some apparent justification that people - plo of that c ass both hero and abroad have been In possession of knowledge of what was going on In a diplomatic way and that their operations , based on uch Information , have been very Influential in swaying the course of speculation.

THINK THE CHANCES OF PEACE ARE BRIGHT Siilntnncc of Ileply < United S nlo 1'rupoMo to llvul with Direct nnd Ulliulnate the United Stilton. MADRID , April 1. The opinion Is ex pressed from an authoritative source that it la believed nn agreement between the gov ernment ! ) of Spain and the United States lias been reached , including the Mnlue and the reconcentrado questions , nnd also a means of arriving at a durable peace in Cuba. It Is also stated that the Cuban government ami Captain General IJlanco are In com plete accord and that the peninsular govern ment will assist In this work of peace. Thoso. who are best Informed here believe peace is assured unless President McKln- ley's hands are forced , making Mm depart from the calm attitude he had assumed throughout the crisis. It is further semi officially asserted that the Spanish govern ment , "believing tnuy correctly Interpret the sentiment of justice and the lofty alms" of the president , assert that Spain "will not hesitate to do everything necessary to pre- eervo peace without other limits than na tional dignity and territorial Integrity. " Tfio views from an authoritative source already bulletined to ttie Associated Press from Madrid are the substance of au official uoto on the subject published hero today. The Spanish government takes a bright view of the relations with the United States aud belleveti pcaco is secured. The im portant nowspapcra comment on the note In this strain , but inquiries made last evening of the United States minister , General Wood , fad , failed to secure anything confirming the optimistic Impressions prevailing here. He has so earnestly becci the frlenJ of peace throughout tuat hla silence now causes mucli anxiety in diplomatic circles. General Woodford waa buay e.t the United States legation until late- lost nigh : . The eubstanco of jestcrd.iy's proposals of tbo Spanish government , the Associated Press correspondent learns , Is : 1. That the Insurgents should nsk for an armlstlco and not the United States ? . 2. That the request for an armistice should be dealt with by the autonomist cabinet of Cuba and without the Intervention or good olllces ot the Unltoa States. It is curious to note how llttlo lutcceot the general public took la yestcrday'ii Im portant conference. Only a few reporters witnessed the arrival and departure of the conferees. General Wcodlord was the first to emerge , and , smoking a cigar , ho walked qcnt'.y to ills residence. The ( nlnUt ra coon followed and drove separately to thtlr homos. When Informed of the propose 1 govern- inent nitasurw 'or the relief of tile rero-i- ccntrados ttie queen regent annouiRtd ifc-t she would appoint a woman's comm'ttej ' , over which she will personally i-rc-ilde : o take charge of and educate the orphans of the war , both Cubans and Spaniards. END OF DEBATING. The most Important comment on the sltin- tlon this flfternoai Is that of the ministerial journal , El Liberal , which may be looked upon as undoubtedly reflecting the position of the Spanish government. The paper ra.vs : Wo have done all we can to remove a pretext - text for a rupture. If President McKlnlcy ictuses our concessions , we , with a qulst conscience , will await nny trials which may come nnd defend our honor nnd our right1 ! . The entire nation supports the government. This \\.is the meaning of yesterday oven- INK'S enthusiasm. Ulcii and poor uro workIng - Ing together. No one asks whether the sum collected goes for war ships. It sulHc.2s to krvDw that It will be employed to resist any foreign pressure. Spain must no longer Uve under the continual menace and unrest of the last three years. There mint be no more debating- haggling. Even rupture Is preferred. Intervention Is do facto e\en now. We desire nnd appeal for peace , but the limit of our longsuffering Is at nn end. We will not be the aggressors , bul we will defend our rights with traditional tenacity and bravery. The latest phaseof the situation this afternoon la a report that the pope Is urging Spain to offer an armistice and also thai his holiness urges the Insurgenty to adept It. The note , which was transmitted to Washington , In addition to the proposition In regard to an armlstico and the concen- trades , expiesses regret "at the accident to the Malno In Spanish waters" and offers to arbitrate the matter. \VOMU.\ UPHOLD THU i'HESIJJUNT Co m m ended for Wine Stand lit I'avoi ot IIuinnnHy.

Thi In Ideality to n nation Is very grea has n war. General Walker has said to mi that he considered the present overworn the commercial spirit of this country due the fact that so many men of the Idea perished In the war , both north and south leaving the mechanically-minded or bus ! ness-minded men In the ascendant. The race also suffers physically , as the army takes not the lame , nor the blind , nor the delicate son , but the strong , well-developed man. flow For those reasons , women are vitally In terested In peace and Its attendant train blessings. Hut they are even more In terested In upholding the causa of human ot before alt commercial considerations.
