lo THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, APRIL UU, 1880—TWENTY PAGES FINANCE AND TRADE. A Dull and Spiritless Stock Market Yesterday. Quotations Show More Inclina- tion to Decline than Ad- Vancée , Foreign Exchange Quiet—New York Exchange Higher~Local Fi- nances. The Produce Markets Moderately Act- ive, and Generally Stronger—A Decided Reaction. April Deliveries of Grain—Produce Move- ment During the Week. FINANCIAL. Speculation in stocks was dull and lifeless. The bank statement showed a elight improve- ment, but it gave no tone to the stock market. ‘Although the manipulation of money and the manufacture of depressing rumors seemed to be temporarily remitted,stocks showed no elasticity. . There was a gradual settling of prices all day, with brief alternations of strength, and the week closed with no apparent promise of speedy recovery. There were a few exceptions to the general tendency. Metropolitan Elevated Rail- way stock advanced 134, to 9434; Sioux City com- mon 1%, to 45%, and the preferred 1, to 794; and Minncapolis 2, to 60. The only coal stocks that made a gain were Reading, which went up X, to 6S, and Jersey Central %, to 78%. Union Pacific made %, 10.89%; St. Joe ¥, to30; Wa- ‘bash preferred 34, to 68; and Northwestern com- mon %, to 95%. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy was quoted, ex- dividend of 20 per cent, at 127; Rock Island tost 3s. to 187; New York Central %, to 1234; Mich- igan Cen! 34, to 92; and Lake Shore %, to 108%. Erie opefed at 4414, sold down to 44, and closed at 443g, The preferred ranged between 05% and 68, at which figure it closed. St. Paul opened at 815, s0ld as high as 8% and as low as $1i4, and closed at 8135. Wabash common fluctuated between 42% and 415, closing at 41%. Ohio & Mississippi sold down from 37 to 3033, sclling finally at 364. Pacific Mail sold up to 42%, but closed with a loss of 4, at 41%. The coal stocks were weak. Hudson advanced from & to 83%, but fell back again to $23. Lackawanna moved within the narrow ranges of 91% and 913;. Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central declined ¥, to 15%; Iron Mountain 3%, to 5643; Western Union %, to 106%; Nashville & Chattanooga 1, to 81; Canada Southern %, to 6045; Northern Pacific %{, to 25%; the preferred , to 5233; Manhattan Elevated 13, to 28; Mobile & Ohio ¥, to 23; and Chesa- peake & Ohio \, to 23. Tho feature of the afternoon was a raid on Kansas & Texas, which sent it fying down from 423; to 3014, with a subsequent recovery of %, to #9%. Gould is reported to have been selling the stock short. Northern Pacific has been remarkably steady in the face of the Congressional report against the extension of its land grant. Holders of the stock refuse to be terrorised by this action, as they hold that the road, with the land grant al- ready secured, is worth what the stock isselling for. The course the: House Sub-Committee recommend is in startling. contrast with the policy of Canada. An Ottawa dispatch of April 6 states that the Government announces that it will expend $10,000,000 on the Canada Pacific Railway this year, and the same next year, in or- der to finish the missing link and in order to complete the 200 miles westward from Winni- peg. It will then expend $5,000,000 annually, and will finish the whole line within ten years. Although the public are buying very few stocks, operators are almost unanimous in the belief that higher prices wili soon be made. There are a few exceptional prophets of evil ‘who point to the steady downward movement of grain, cotton, lumber, iron, and othec com- modities asa sure index of the tide that must take stocks in the same direction. Erie second 6s opened at 913, sold as low as 90%, and closed at 9%. Railroad bonds, in New York on Thursday, were influenced to some extent by the the course of the stock market, opening weak, and ad- vancing sharply under a brisk inquiry. Eric consolidated seconds feli off from 91 to 90%, and rose to 914%. Kansas &,Texas firsts rose from 101 to 101%; and do seconds, after selling down to 60%, advanced to 61%. C.,C.& I.C. in- comes declined to 87; and Boston, Hartford & Erie firsts to 55,—closing at 38 and 56 respective- ly. Iron Mountain first preferred incomes rose to91; St. Paul & Sioux City firsts to 101%; Ches- apeake & Ohio currency 6s to 43. Union Pacific sinking-funds declined to 1143. Foreign exchange was dull. The posted rates for sterling were 486 for sixty-day bills and 489 for sight. French bankers’ bills were 5183{ and 515, and German bankers’ bills 95 and 95%. Actual rates for sterling were 485 and 488. Com- mercial sterling was 4823{@483; French commer- cial, 6213; for Paris and S3% for Antwerp, Mar- seilles, and Havre. Commercial marks were 94 and 9133. Business in Government bonds was quict. A scarcity is reported in the supply. The District of Columbia 3.653 were 924 bid, and 93% asked. ‘The United States 4s were 107 and 107%; the 4%s, 308% and 10914; the 5s, 103% and 1035; and the 65, 10553 and 105%. Chicago bankers reported increasing receipts of currency, with New York exchange quoted at so@ie per $1,000 premium. Discounts are quict ut &@8 per cent. Bids were received yesterday for the $2,158,- 600 4% per cent bonds to be issued by Cook County. There were twenty-three bids, aggre- gating $2,500,000. Most of the bids were for part of the issue, and ranged from parto 100%. Ger- hard Foreman bid 100% for $100,000. There were two separate bids for the whole issue. The Corn Exchange Bank, through its Cashier, Mr. Orson Smith, bid 99, and Mr. Charles Henrotin, offered par. The whole issue was allotted to Mr. Henrotin. The bonds run twenty years, and the interest is payable semi-annually. ‘The clearings of the Chicago banks forthe ‘week are reported as follows by Manager D. BR.

There was some demand for grain to fil April contracts, and rather large deliveries during the day, chiefly in wheat and corn.’ After the date of this writing, winter-stored grain delivered on April con- tracts must be billed with a deduction of %o per bu from the selling price. Tho April shorts were anxious -to deliver Saturday in order to \BVoid this 4c deduction, and this accounted for the increased demand, It is believed that nearly if not quite ali the April contracts are now squared up, and some uperators axpect to see the difference between April and May wheat widen out with the opening of business this week. The shipping movement was rather slow, but receipts of grain were small and few fresh receipts were offercd for sale. Provisions shared in the strength exhibited by broadstuffs. Mess Pork closed 17%c higher, at $10.22 seller May and $10.45@10.47% for June. Lard closed 20 higher, at $6.9744@7.00 seller May and $7.06@ 7.07% for June. Short ribs closed at $6.25 for June. Spring .wheat closed about Ic higher, at @L14 for April and- $1.13% for: May.. Corn closed Xo higher, at Silke for April. and S6c for May. Oats closed %¢ higher, at 2%¢ for April and 30%c for May. Rye was easier at 68@03:4c seller the month. Barley'was quoted weaker at 75c for April, and 53@5t0 for do extra 3. Hogs were active and stronger, closing at $4.35@4.55 | for Nght and at $4.25@4.75 for heavy. Cattle were active and firmer at $2,50@5.50 for poor to extra. § The demand for staple and fancy dry goods is a trifle less active; but the movement is still of large proportions, and values remain as firm as before. Groceries met with a good seasonable demand, and the general tenor of. prices was stendy. Coffees and sugars did not display much strength, the former especially be- ing weak. Boots and shocs, hats, caps, and millincry were moving on- a generous scale and wero fairly steady. In the dried-fruit market no new features were developed, Fish also were unchanged. There was a dull and drooping market for butter. Sales were light at a decline from the prices current at the beglining of the week of 3@5c. Cheese remained unchanged. Bagging, tobac- co, leather, and coal were quoted as before. The pig-iron market was demoralized. There was next to no demand, and prices were 60 unsettled that auy quotations that might be given would be valueless. : ‘The lumber market was moderately active at the former range of prices. Cargo offerings were again small, but are expected to be sufi- ciently large this. weck to establish a market. Wool was quict and unchanged. Seeds were slow and easy, but not quotably lower, and hides and broom-corn exhibited no change. The de- mand for hay was fair at former prices. Green fruits were selling to the city trade rather free- jy. Poultry was steady and eggs ensicr. Lake freights were quiet. Chartors were re- ported for 60,000 bu corn at 50 to Buffalo, and 44,000 bu wheat atc todo, There was some inquiry at 4};0, but carriers were not willing to make the concession, Lake marine insurance ‘was quoted down to $1.00 per $1,000. ‘ PROVISIONS. HOG PRODUCTS—-Wero moderatoly active and de- eldedly stronger, with no special change in the reports from other cities, but a tirmor feeling here in hogs, and the market sympathized with wheat. The ro- ported free movement of stuff by Jake imparted a little more confidence to speculative operators, and the fact that those freight ravesare Iess than the rail tariffis giving alittle more Mfe to the demand for shipment, ‘The hog packing since the close of February is re- Ported to be 495,000 head, ngainst 252,000 for the same time last year, and 316,000 to do in 1828.

Numerous brilliant openings having oc- curred during the past week, Chicago’s trade emporiums were thronged with elegantly- attired ladies to witness what great capital, cultured taste, and the latest freaks of Dame Fashion had provided for spring apparel. ‘The openings were eminently successful. Never before have our merchants invited patronage with such 3 profusion of costly fabrics, the products of rare workmanship. ‘The special exhibition on Wednesday last, at the fashionable millinery emporium of W. H. Uagedon & Co., 42 and 44 Madison street, was the occasion of a large attendance of Indies, who feasted their eyes upon the tempting array of beautiful goods so artistic- ally arranged for display. The admiration of all was elicited by the exquisite materials and their artistic combinations. Flowers, rivaling Nature in their delicacy, beauty, and brilliancy, delighted the beholders. Special shapes, made only forthis firm, includea new turban in chip, Milan, braid, or silk, larger and more becoming than the old. shape; a close bonnet and turban of Tuscan lace, with fancy brim; and a bonnet of rare Tuscan lace with'cashmere -lace border. A close bonnet with fancy brim, scarf of polka dotted satin serge and garniture of gilt lace, has the satin crown covered with delicate open lace, which is a marvel of urt, and is made a specialty by this house. The high standing of W. H. Hagedon & Co., and the unvarying excellence of their work, insure them a recognition as foremost in their line, The costumes which were exposed in a re- cent opening settled all questions that may arise in reference to the styles that will pre- vail during the remainder of the present sea- son. A number of these robes were from Paris, and the work of some of the most re- nowned modistes in the French capital. ‘They were generally intended for the haute toilette—whether for home, dinner, reception, visiting, or evening wear. 5 Jewelry of California manufacture, made from quartz and mineral ores, mounted in solid gold, is new and odd. Henry Ward Beecher, in one of his pleas- ant talks with Laicus, has lately declared his admiration for precious stones. This senti- ment is shared by a good many.

Giles, Brother & Co., 99 State street, at their diamond opening this* week.
