Wheat Rervons and Lower—Cornt¥asier—$ther Grain Steady. FINANCIAL. ‘The stock market yesterday was active, and " transactions well distributed throughout the “list. Early in the day efforts were made to tight- en money, but with no perceptible effect upon Prices, The gains and loases were pretty evenly divided. Transactions in the Elevated proper- ‘ties were large, and closing prices were in favor of buyers. Metropolitan advanced 2 per cent, and Manhattan 3}, the latter under continued buying by brokers who a day or two since were large sellers, The appearance of the bank-state- ™ment, which was not regarded asfavorable, made ao apparent change in prices, and the market . closed with all the firmness that could have beon anticipated. 1 i Canada Southern at one time fell to Gl, but re- covered to 62% atthe last moment. The Wabash Stocks were neglected. Missouri, Kansas & Texas fairly active, without any material advance. ‘There were fewer rumors of a startling char- &cter, and nothing to indicate the course of the qarket next week. It is not improbable, how- ever, that the market will be active, as it is be- Meved an easy rate for money must soon prevail, Government bonds were active and ‘strong: 38 of "BL, 105%@15X; 5s, 1034@1034; 448, 108K 100}; 4s, 1064@106%; District of Columbia 2656, BEL é Foreign exchange, posted, 4854@4884; actual in New York, 48{@485 and 4874@488. The same figures ruled in Chicago. Documentary, $24. Business at the banks fs still heavy, though the clearings were less than for the first two aaysof the month. They were $5,345,000, mak- ing a fraction over $22,000,000 for the last three days. Though nobody expected any friction, both bankers and customers breathe freer when the settlements of the first of the month are bver. The market for money is reported by some of the banks a shade casier. With them deposits Bre increasing, and they prefer to find use for them even at 6 per cent, while the lines of some of the others and even larger banks are all about out, and 7@8 per cent are the least figures they will accept, and in almost all cases 8 per cent is required. No customers are, how- ever, turned away. They can get all the accom- modations they want by paying full rates. New York exchange is gradually working Qrmerand higher. The price for the day be- tween banks was 2Sc per $1,000 discount. ‘Trans- actions Mmited to the actual wants of buyers. Some sales were reported near the close at par, but we did not learn as to the amounts, ‘The price was steady for the day, as given above. Orders for currency are not heavy, and coun- try customers are readily supplied. Receipts and disbursements about equal.

Besides the listing of the different funded loans, 8 table 4s given showing the amount of bonds past due and not presented for payment, and on which interest is stopped. Of the old debt that matured Jan. 1, 1837, $57,665 has not been called for, and the interest on the debt amounts to $64,174. Large amounts ere outstanding due previous to 1860, The total amount of debt matured on which interest is stopped is $9,022,965, on which there is due for interest $881,558. There can be uo doubt that a large percentage of the securi- ties for this.debt have been burned, sunk in: rivers or the ocean, or otherwise lost, and that yo means are left to recover this large amount of money from the Government. - The amount of debt bearing no interest con- sisting of legal-tenders gold and silver certifi- cates, etc., is $391,007,28. Of thissum $15,095,297 is fractional currency, perhaps at least three- fourths of which is lost.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Trinine, New Yors, April 3.—Operations in stooks to- day were dull, but at times quite feverish. The market opened steadily and an effort was made to work up stocks without adding to the load the bulls are already carrying. About 11 o'clock a sharp decline sctin without any pressure ap- parent, however, to break prices. Coal stocks ted in the weakness, Jersey Central going off over 2 percent. The weakness extended throughout the entire list, but the dealings were not at- tended with excitement. Fresh orders were quickly sent in to purchase, and the market was rallied up tonear the opening prices. At noon the bank statement appeared, showing an unexpected loss in the reserve of nearly $1,300,000, which induced a fresh selling move- ment that was again met by free support from the bull party, and, after considerable fiuctua- tion, the market closed strong and generally at the bighest prices of the day, but was excecd- ingly dull, notwithstanding money, after ruling sharp through most of the day, was eased off to # per cent. acitic Mail is showing symptoms of another advance, but in el neds to the general list the immediate outiook is towards a decline. Man- battun stock eciigar somewhat to-day, TT on iether seine is has been ascertain suffering a deficit of more than $3,000 daily. There is a steady buying in St. Paul & Minne- apolis by_a strong party on greatly improved eurnings. Dlinois Central and Western dividend- aying stocks generally are stubbornly held, but in regard to stocks which are dependent on future prospects there is a growing feeling of asiness. ithe stringency in money contributes greatly to interfere with operations for eral and steady use. Gould is still bearing: market, and appears unwilling to join the bulls except ut mucn lower prices.

Some people think thore is a cornerin April whent at the seaboard, and the New York early quotations showed an advance of 3@3%¢ on spot wheat to about 2c on futures; but thoy were not sustained, and the“ news” referred to was supposed by some to have been sent for effect. Tho later feeling in whoat was weak, while other grain exhibited little change. Mess pork closed Se higher, at $10.4744@10.50 for seller April and $10,60@10.62% for May.

Boots and shoes were in fair demand, and hats, caps, and millinery were moving on a generous scale. Jobbers of groceries reported a fairly satisfactory business in progress, and the prices of most lines were again steady. Dried fruits were quoted as before, excepting Valencia raisins, in which there was 4c advance. Fish were firm, as previously quoted. The but- ter market was quiet and less firm. Cheese was held at previous figures, fine grad¢s being firm, under limited offerings. -There was a fair in- quiry for oils at about previous figures. Pig- iron remains dull and unsettled. The now busi- ness is principally in the shapo of small ordersto supply immediate wants. ‘Tho lumber market was fairly active, prices ruling as heretofore. A few boat-loads are ar- riving and sell slowly. The milis are starting up, and manufacturers will probably be forward- ing green lumber in another week. The wool market was steady and stocks are much re- duced. Hides wore firm, being in good demand, and the receipts are moderate. Tho sales of seeds were only fair, being chicfly of Hungarian and timothy, and both were firm. Hay was firm, especially the higher grades, for which’ there were outside orders. Potatoes sold in small lots at former prices. Poultry was tirm under small receipts, and eggs were stronger. ‘The grass meadows are reported to be looking rather poorly this spring. It is feared the drought last summer killed so many roots that the yield of hay per acre this season will be much smaller than usual. Aletter. from Southern Nebraska states that the farmers have about finished sowing spring wheat, and arenow sowing oats. They need rain badly.
