L York, May 6.—R. G weekly roview of trade says has been much retarded thronghout the western states by unusual and continued rains. The movement of products is thus de- layed, but it is believed temporarily; seeding 1n many quarters is intorrupted, though on the whole fairly advanced for the season and distribution of goods is checked. A some- what betier tone appears at the south and business at the east is fairly active for the season, although in some lines dull and de- pressed. Money is overywhere abundant. in part is smaller than Business. most of because the demand usual, but this 1s in a measure due to the un usual conservatism of trade, buyers making many small purchases instead of larger pur- chases and waiting more carefully for actual distribution. This is pecvliarly the case in the dry goods and boot and shoe trade. The orders at any one time have been in most branches moderate, but they have been re- peated again and ugain until the velume of business is large. Shipments of boots and shoes from the east were 6 per cent bebiud last year for tho earlier months of 1502, but have been rapidly catohine up, and are now but 1 ver cent less than last year to date. 1 Stocks of woolens throughout the country are believed to bo unusually light. ana while clothiers are slower than usual, having been occupied beyond the usual time \with their spring trade, a groat business 1s expected. “lannels are improving and the unprece- dented distribution of dress goods helps the manufacturers, Sules of wool this vear at_the three great markets have been 932,832,576, agaiust 87,100,- 720 last year. a gain of 7 per cent. tnquiry for cottons is large aud imoroving, western stocks being small and trade in priuts fair for tha season. “T'ho iron trade shows larger tran but no better prices.

Market Duil and Narrow—Some of Tts pecinl Features, New York, May 6.—Braastreet's weekly Wall street review: The past week has brought little change in the position or ten- dencies of speculation. The actual market has been dull and narrow, being too hmited in action even for successful bear operations. While the first days of the week noted a de- cline 10 excbange aud a consequent tem- porary cessation of gold exports, the beliet that the outward movement would continue was general, and, as is natural, constitutes a bar to the development of bullish senci ment. The anuouncement that gold been engaged for shipment by today's stoumer was Lherefore no surprise, the stroet being satistied that the demand for gold at continental centers would not be sausfied uatil considerable further amounts were drawn from this country. On the ofber hand, the ease of the mouey market cou- tinues to bave considerable influcuce upon the tempor of spaculation. It certainly limits the ability of bear traders to depress prices, inasimuch as the prevalent low iutorest rates at whicn stocks can be carried make tolders very stubborn about parting with them, Unsuccesstut Bearish Movements, Bearish manipulation has continued during the week, but it was not on the whole suc cessful, Tl inception of a suit by the goy erument against the American Sugar com pany of course produces a docline in that stock, accompanied by consideranle liquida- tion of long holdings. Attacks upon near portious of the list were, however. less ef- fectual in point of results. Reading and othier prominent tradiug stocks were suo- jected to tae bearish pressure, but the effect of this in each case svemed 10’ be to incruase the outstandiug short interest to an extent which forced the bears themseives to cover their sales, thus ziving momeutary action to the markel and @ fictitious strength to the prices. Friday’s market, though dull, was in fact stronger in tone than that of any preceding day, reflecting the disuppointment of the bears that the gold shipments weroe not larger. Several causes combined to render such teudencies more conspicuous. The most Inportant among them was the apuar- ent chacge in the atitudeof the London market in respect to “*Americans. "’ Monday was a holiday in Loudon, but this brought considerable buying orders from that quarter, and though tho forelgn ele- meut malnlysold, auring the latter part of the week the prices were very much de creased.
