London was first a seller and then be- | came a buyer and there was considerable local | sélling on the long account which showed profits. The profits In the active shares were slight, but some of the specialties made wide exchanges. Be- fore noon the market had steadied ltself, the buy: ing movement had become more pronounced prices had begun to move upward, and this was | the temper of the market when the announcement was made of the declaration of the regular 1 pe cent quarterly dividend by the Burlington di tofs. This action, although entirely expect: had the effect of bringing new buyers into the m Xet, and, coupled with the statement that this com- any and the Chicago and Northwestern Company Fiad” successtully floated bonds to the amodne of $2,320,000 and $1,500,000, infused new life into the stock market. The Grangers were of course most prominent in the advance which followed, but the general list | with some unimportant exceptions shared in the improvement, and the market with an occasional reaction continued 1o advance to the close, the final dealings being strong in: tone.

'CHICAGO MARKETS. _CHICAGO, Tr1., May 17.—There was no weak _8pot In wheat at the opening. Itstarted with buy- ‘ers_and sellers from 694@69%4c, or from 34c to 13450 per bushel higher than it closed yesterday. It~ was absorbed in immense quantities, and be- tween 6914@6914c, but was poured forth with equal liberality at the same time. Commission houges who had been among the most prominent “buyers for a. couple of weeks had for the time ap- ~peared with unlimited selling orders, and the gen- cral- impression was-that it was long wheat they were disposing of. Several houses disposed of 1,000,000 bushels apiece in the first half-hour of ‘the session, and 100,000-bushel lots changed hands rapidiy. But the market was gluttonous, and not ouly. gobbled it*all up but climbed to 70¢ while it Wwas taking on the load. The latier price on the ad- vance was only realized Tor one 5000-bushel lo. -At B87%4c & big give-and-take business went on for & minute or two. 2 g That was'the culmination of the morning bulge.

Wheat was worked from here by water to Detroi, and many country millers ordering anywhere from five carloads to 10,000 bushels each of cash wheat. Thié crop damage reports _received were quite con- vincing 1o unprejudiced minds and those in the end were.in the majority to judge from the action of | the market after the morning break. About ten minutes before the close July wheat was 2 cents above the price it closed at yesterday. Foreign niarkets were higher, but seaboard advices were “that-the price ruling on this side was from 3¢ to 4¢ * per bushel above & working export business.

THE WOOL MARKET. BOSTON, Mass., May 17.—The Boston Com- mercial Bulletin will say to-morrow of the wool market: The market would be dull were it not for beavy sales of Australian wool. The Americans are now substituting Australian crossbred for American medium wools. The Australian costs 25@26¢; the Kentucky wool about 20c more than the scoured. New Territory wools are selling on a basis of 30c for clean and fine medium. There is very little call for short wools, except at the very best. The woollen goods market is very dull. American exports of all kinds of wools manufac- tured have declined in value from $552,428 10 #498,258, comparing the first nine months of the current year with the past fiscal year. STOCKS IN LONDON. NEW YORK, N. Y. May 17.—The Evening Post’s London cablegram says: The stock markets were better to-day, in sympathy with further im- portant rise in Americans, which were bought largely by the Continent and also by professional operators here, and to a small extent to the public. The New York Central shares are said to be partly placea with insurance offices here. Prices closed a small fraction inder the best. There was a slight revival in Kaffirs. It is believed the Chinese loan will be 40,000,000, perhaps in two instaliments. CALIFORNIA FRUIT SALES, $615 $6 30 isaighis, Spring Paent CHICAGO, IrL., May 17.—Porter Bros.

NEW YORK, N. Y., May 17.—R.G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade, which issues to-morrow, will say: The severe cold snap. with extensive frosts and in some States snow, has fortunately done little damage to the great crops, though much to gruit, but has considerably retarded retail trade. The best news of the week is the advance of 10 per cent in wages in the Carnegie Works. followed by the Jones & Laughlin establishment, and evidently implying a similar advance by many other con- cerns. The Tllinois Steel Company is starting its Turniaces without granting the demands of the em- ployes. No advance has been found practicable in the foreizn competition are very different, and about 10,000 workers are still idle at Olneyville, where lh&kwm‘ku should consume 600,000 pounds per week. In other departments of labor troubles are not serious' and the demand for manufactured pro- d“\%‘l! ‘:ncrenn.u th materiil and steady enlargement in do- mestic_trade, there is still great wantof employ- ment in the interior for money which comes hither, 83,500,000 during the padk week, and with the millions distributed by the syndicate on bond account, stimulates speculation. Accordingly, wheat has risen' § cents, although the reports of Injury by frost do not appear, upon sifiing, to concern any considerable proportion of the growing grain. Western receipts Tortwo weeks of May have been 2,917,305, against 2,600,298 last year, and_Atlantic exports 3,059,484 busheis, aguinst 4,565,101 last veur, belng reduced by the advance in price loas than would. be expected, be, cause of generally current reports of decreass. of acreage. With ouly six weeks of the crop year 1eft the stocks in sight constitute a heavy surplus, if 10T a8 large as some Western statisticans estimate. Corn has advanced only Yac, being. apparently injured more ihan wheat, but the acreage gives Promise of vield of 2,000,000,000 bushels, © Cotton is Ve stronger. Wool is remarkably hea the three chiet ‘marke(s, b, or two weeks of May 11, 4 ound; inst 11,767,750 in the same weck of 1892, the st year of full demand. In that year the sales of do- mestic were 5,962,000, and this year 5,881,750 pounds. - Bessgmper {9p 448 Xisch (o #1140 at Fittsbure, for the past week at ,588,750 pous nd S with gray forge to $9 65. Finished products are in larger demand, but as yet not enough larger to cause any general advance in prices, and proposals of combinations in merchanvs steel, structural iron, cast pipe, wire rods ard cut nails, with the existing combination in steel rails, show that the ‘market does not rise of itself. Failures during the past week have been 211 in the United States, against 219 last year, and 37 in Canada, aganst 26 last y BRADSTREET’S REVIEW. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 17.—Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: General trade conditions throughout the country continue in the main quite favorable. Activity in speculative and in- vestment circles has exceeded that in merchandise lines, but gains made in the latter have, in nearly all instances, been retained. Woolen manufac- turers, even with orders for months to come, are not anticipating wants, s prices for wool at the in- terior are above a parity with quotations at the seaboard, and lower prices are looked for. Heaviest transactions continue in Australians. The weather has retarded shearing. Rhode Island woolen manufacturers say the demand is largely for the cheaper grades, Business at Pittsburg has been stimulated by the advances and greater activity in iron and steel, but Philadelphia does not appear to_have fully shared in this. The most noticesble improvement is at ‘Baltimore, being in dry goods and shoes. Among Southern cities an improvement intrade is reported from Memohis, in groceries at Chat- tanooga, at Savannah and particularly at Gaives- ton, where business is said to be fairly satisfactory and the outlook favorable. At New' Orleans the volume of business is smaller. Exports of wheat from the United States and from Montreal this week (flour counted as wheat) amount to ounly 2,397,000, against 2,085,000 bushels last week, 2,420,000 bushels in the week one yearago, 3,885,000 two years ago and 3,608,- 000 ‘three vears ago. On the Pacific Coast, California_and Washington froit and grain crops have been favorably in- fluenced. BANK CLEARINGS. NEW YORK, N.
