Consul Géngrat Jernigun Urges Closer ready Ficlations With the 2 Bow ery Kingdem. ‘Corsul ere Jernigan at Shanghai, Chira, gevteA some space in a report upon the foreigh trhde df China to a quotation from the,gepert of 1804 of Mr. Kopsch of “he im Chinese customs service. The latter says that there is no indication of recovery from the retrograde movement in the staple artigles of import from gold standard countries. This he ascribed to the appreciation of gold enhancing price and curtailing demand, which also char- acterized the trade of 1893. Of the export trade Mr. Kopsch said “Steadier, but lower, exchange benefited esrerts, and enabled shippers of India pro- uce to lay it down in gold standard coun- tries at unparaileled low cost. Several ar- ticles now find market abroad which did rot formerly leave China, and the present Ligh price paid for gold bars entitles that commodity to rank after tea and silk in vgeegrate value of any article enumerated in the table of exports.” The Consuls Comments. Commenting upon this, Mr. Jernigan says: “It certainly cannot be expected that the consumpticn of foreign fabrics will attain to the level recorded when the ex- change was high unless the gold value of silver improves and tael prices are thereby reduced to rates within the means of east- ern consume It is true that the imports show an increased value of 10,740 taels over 1803, but in a great measure the value of these was enhanced by the further ap- preciution of gold.” Mr. Kopsch is then quoted upon the sub- ject of the importation of piece goods, in vhich he says the imports advanced ins nificantly, but not sufficient to show that “the fall off caused by the appreciation of Reports from in- gold had been arrested.” land marts shew that the sale of M chester goods has been restricted, though the demand for army supplies had created a slight abnormal demand. Porstibilitics of the Wool Trade. ‘The North China Daily News, an En- glish journal, commenting upon the re- port of Mr. Kopsch, says the export trade in all branches is benefited by the low rale of sterling exchange, and that under ex- isting conditions there is every prospect that Chinese wool, “when imprdved in quality, may become a formidable rival to the Ausiralian product, as the wool- growirg resources of China are still unde- veloped, and with silver at the present price China would defy competition from all gold-siandard countries. Continuing, the News speaks of the tea trade, saying that it h roved Very remunerative, “for, her price had to be paid here the tall.in exchange covered this, and as there as no correspondin; fall’ in gold prices in England and the United States the trade in China reaped the benelit.|, Speaking of other export the News says there has been an increase in raw white silk, a falling off in yellow silk, while that of refuse silk surpassed all records. Straw braid trade continues to expand. Exparts in cther directions have increased,, The value of the gold exports amounted, to 12,771,000 taeis, equivalent to 2,044,025 pounds, which is ‘far in excess of the pevioys years, due to the disposal of gold haarcings, which the high price led the holdexs to.dispose of.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evering Star. NEW YORK, May 17.—The early trading in today’s stock market reflected some hes- itancy on the part of the trading element to continue purchases at the present level of values. Lower prices in London, and some selling orders in this market, were responsible for the cautious character of the first hour's transactions. Prices did not yield materiaily during this time, however, the only result of the above conditions be- ing a somewhat restricted volume of busi- ness. Finding reactionary tactics unayail- ing, pric rere bid up later in the day for substantial gains in all departments. The Grangers were the most prominent features of the regular list, and were ad- vanced on good purchases for both invest- ment and speculative accoynt. Advices from the west are uniformiy encouraging and evidence of prosperity in that section is daily multiplying. The large short in- terest in Northwest, accumulated during the long months of large decreases, has been steadily reduced during the last few days as the result of such rapid improvement as to warrant the assurance that the next dividend of that company will be paid at » has been a decline at the ports of | the regular rate. The stock advanced well over par on pur- chases, in which both accounts were rep- resented. Burlington added 1 per cent t initial figures, the announcement that the regular 1 per cent dividend had been de- clared aiding the movement. The other members of this group were in good demand at liberal advance: Among the specialties Tennessee Iron and Consolidated Gas were conspic- uous as the result of a preponderance of buyers. Sugar opened strong at a fractional ad- vance, and subsequenily gained 1 per cent on purchases by friends of the property. This steck has probably more figures to substantiate its recent advance and ex- plain its maintenance of the same than any other industrial im the list. Distillers was strong at a gain of 1 per cent, due to continued purchases by brok- ers identified with the movement so con- spicuous during the early part of the week. There was some irregularity in other parts of the industrial Hst, but no significant de- velopments were rep-'g 1. ‘The tone of speculat..n during the after- noon reflected a return of confidence among traders, and brought out a new supply of commission orders. The market is appar- ently sensitive to nothirg but the most op- timistic features of the situation, and stub- bornly contests every attempt at depres- sion. It is therefore not unlikely that the sold- out bulls composing the reactionists’ party will again be induced to abandon their ef- ferts and join the triumphant element. The effect of the Supreme Court's deci- sion on the income tax cases, now gener- ally conceded to be against the validity of the law, is variously construed by bankers. The best opinion seems to be that if con- sidered at all the announcement will be as favorably construed in a speculative sense as it will undoubtedly be in popular es- timation. Final figures were generally the b of the day, as the result of a good out- side demand. ————— WINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘The following are the. opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices cf the New York stock market today, as re- perted by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
