The president's message calling for an appropriation to relieve destitute American citizens In Cuba proved far less hostile in tone to wards Spain than the dealers in securities had apparently persuaded themselves that it would, and the market strengthened upon Its publication, recovering some part of the loss that ensued uppn early intimations that the message was forth coming and that its tone toward Spain would be extremely provocative. With the exception of a' few weak spots In the market ; due to causes peculiar to the stocks affected, the market was strong all around today, and even the intima tions from Washington that early action In the senate on Cuban belligerency was probable did not weaken the tone of speculation. The traders have apparent ly persuaded themselves that there, is much less danger to values in action by the government in Cuban affairs than they have felt during the previous agita tion c-f the subject. The dealings on the exchange, however, still continue almost wholly professional and exceedingly re stricted In volume, and the movements of prices reflect little morethan board room maneuvring for short turns and no very definite opinion of the general con ditions, - The renewed uneasiness apparent on the London exchange over the truculent atti tude of Turkey toward the great powers was reflected here to some extent at the pening, but the weakness was overcome early In the session. The easier tone of fce exchange market both on London and Paris was a factor in strengthening the market. It does not escape notice that the- flow of gold into the United States treasury keeps up steadily and that in the intervals between the with drawals for shipment the treasury's gold reserve tends immediately toward re plenishment. . . -v The prospects of large grain erops, whieh had th effect of weakening the wheat market; tended the other way in the market for railway shares, the grangers especially being in excellent de mand, notwithstanding the small east bound shipments reported, and rumors of rate cutting by western roads and re crimination on that account between the roaos. une-tnird or the transactions on the exchange were in Chicago Gas and Sugar, thfr former leading the market" in a buying movement, which advanced the price 2 on the day.

Early strength in the coalers, amount ing to a rise of 1 in New Jersey Central. was followed by heaviness and the gains were more tnan wiped out. General electric seems to have beep caught with out support by the bears and was sold down 2, only the fraction being regained The Gould shares advanced on covering, but developed weakness later in the day. Fractional gains were very general through the "list, London x sold some stocks on arbitrage early, but, later, be came a buyer and it is estimated, bought some 10,000 shares more than were sold.

Up to tha present moment no word has come to the department of state from Mr. Cal houn, who went to Cuba as special counsel for the United States In the Ruiz case. It is known through Gen eral Lee's dispatches that he arrived safely,- but from the special counsel himself not a single word has been re-i celved at' either the White house or the state department.

Mr. Rockhill is still at the state de partment by request of the president, aiding his successor In the work of the office.
