Y., April 17.—The tendency of prices on the Stock Exchange to-day was down- ward, owing principally tothe aggressiveness of the bear leaders, who are claiming that the ad- vance has been carried t0o far, and that a reaction islong overdue. Particular attention was given 10 the industrials, and these and Manhattan scored the greaiest losses. Sugar was sold by a former member of the Stock Exchange, who is also a dealer in privileges, and has calls falling due 1o- morrow at The stock opened at 125%p, broke to 128, and closed at 12315, a net loss of 2 on the day. Chicago Gas fell from 69%4 to 6814 on reports from Chicago that & decision in the matter of opening streets for the purpose of laying mains had been rendered in favor of the Ogden Gas Company. At the decline brokers who usually act for Chi- cago Ges people bovght the stock and a rally to 69 ensued. Near the close, under pressure, the stock feil 10 685 American Cotton OH was heavy and on liquidations the stock dropped 553 to 5416@ 6514 and the common 35 to 12. A Story was current (o the effect that the company could not meet its dividend puyment on the preferred stock, Tow about due. The report was denied, but it was generally undersiood that people closely , con- nected with former insiders were liberal selle Manbatian broke 3 per cent to 10815 on realiza- tions and short selling. The railway Jist started off firm, but the weak- closid weak. ' Net changes show losses of 4@y per cent in rallways and Ya@454 per cent in indus- trial Bonas were lower at the close.

CHICAGO, Irr., April 17.—St. Louis advanced | 1cent for wheat this morning and Chicago fol- lowed with promptness. As to the trading on the | advance it was not possible to detect anything | important, the pit traders rendering prices al: the assistance they received. The improvement re- ferred to took place about an hour after the open- | ing, previons to which the tone and feeling were barely steady and prices not much more than sus- tained. The balls attempted to start a arought scare carly, but were prevented from doing 8o by | the Weather Bureau, which predicted showers for | the winter wheat belt generally. Receipts at Chicago were fifieen cars and 30,555 busbels were withdrawn from store. The North- west had 301 cars against 289 last Friday and 208 avear ago. Liverpool cables were firm at un- changed quotations. The death of Ed Pardridge, | the noted scalper, was announced about the mid- | dle of the session, firmness following. utler & | Co., who formerly traded extensively for him, bought about 250,000 bushels, the “impression | being that that was the remnant of his open con- | & tracts. Closing Continental cables were generall higher. Ixport clearances amounted to 237,107 bushels. May opemed irom 66c to 6534, sold be- tween 651o@6356c and 67c, closing al 6654@ 6634c, Tge Ligher than yesterday. Estimated re- (s’ 0T t0-NIOrTOW Seventeen cars. CORN—The same 0id story was repeated to-da; It was not active, prices followed those of wheat, | and there was no news. Cables from Liverpool | quoted stealy and unchanged prices. Receipts, 239 cars—14 more thun expected. Withdrawals | from store amounted to 59.845 bushels. Export | clearances were light at 75,308 bushels. v opened at 3014@303/sc. advanced to 3054c, closing at 3015, 1ac (0 14 bigher than yesterduy. Lsti- mated receipts for to-morrow, 830 cars.

PROVISIONS—A slight improvement took place in product, due to the fact that the receipts of hogs ‘ere notas heavy as expected, and that prices for them had advanced. The strength of | wheat extended some aid to provisions, May pork | closed 121jc higher, May lard a shade higner, and | May ribs oc higner. Closing Prices. WHEAT—April, 66l4c; May, July, 6734c.

NEW YORK, N. Y., April 17.—R. G. Dun & Co. to-morrow will say fn their weekly review of trade: Failures for the past week have been 223 In the United States, against 241 last year, and 36 in Canada, against 34 Iast year. The sudden change from sleiching to midsummer heal has tested the prevalent idea that good wenther only was necessary to bring general {m- provement of business. Everywhere there has been more retail buying, and in some branches better demand a3 wholesale and at the works has resulted. There is no abatement of the almost universal disposition to deal with unusual con- servatism and not to anticipate future wants. To many interested in iron ore and coke, steel billets, Bessemer pig and various forms of steel it may be disappointing that the forming of the combines ana fixing of prices have not started #gain the rush to buy ahead of needs which made last year so memorable. But It is not easy (0 for- get the lesson which the last year tauzht. Bes semer pig and gray forge are s shade lower at present, as is the average of all iron and steel Qquotations, and obstacles to some_attempted com- Dinations have not et been overcome. Tinpinte- makers are meeting, and some propose to produce steel for their trade at piants of_their own. Their unsold stocks increased in March 18,588 tons more than was reported last week. AL the West almost every town seems to want steel for some building and good orders have been laced for bars by implement and car makers, cavy production of copper defeats heavy exports and 1034cis quoted for Lake and Spelter has broken to'4.10c. “The boot and shoe makers have put some quota- tious a shade lower since leather has fallen below the average a_year ago and hides to the lowest average since November, 1894, having deciined 3 per cent this week. The Northern and North. western demand is backward, though the South has bought freely. “The Silk Associotion states that 40 per cent of the machinery and hands in the country are 1die, partly because of increasing Japanese competi. tion. Several more woolen milis have shut down and some have reduced wages 10 per cent. while many are working only balf time. The demand for goods docs not improve. Wheat rose about be last week, met some reaction. but is a shade higher than a week ago. After remainingunchanged for many days, Tumors either way having no effect, cotton rose a . sixteenth on Thursday. Heavy commer-ial and mill stocks binder most buyers and possibilities of injury to the coming crop re- tard sellers at current prices. ¥ E Paruly because of low prices which were again Totals... the lowest ever known, the voiume:of:business cent larger than last year, is 20.4 per cent smaller than in April, 1893." Railroad earnings for April thus far show & gain of only 2.6 per cent over last year. The stock markey Liss grown stronger on Btories about things done abroad, a few foreign purchasers helping, though trusts weakened on the signing of an anti-trust law by Governor Mor, ton. March imports were $3,129,455 smaller and exports 812,366,107 larger than_last year, and the excess of exports was 89,144,015, NEW YORK STOCKS.

The free arrivals for the past few days haye all been delivered to consumers direct, su that the yarded stock is not increasing. The yards gener- ally are pretty well piled _up and, astusual, there is an oversupply of some grades and a scarcliy of others, siill Consumers can always be induced Lo substitute another fuel instead of the one they us- ually utilize. Newcastle brands are in very light supply and will remain so for several weeks to ‘come, but there are British Columbia steam Ooals. which can be advantageously substituted. There is 0 change of values, as the Coust mines are gen- erously filling all demands and are prepared to name low figures for future deliveries, if they did not shippers from Australia and Swansea would cut seriously into their trade. Freight quotations for Coal from the Colonies and England are weaker. as there is an_accumulation of disengaged tonnage in those sections, and this appears to be the port that most shipowners seek, although pres- ent and future grain {reights are quoied at disconr- aging figures.

The Builion assessment falls delinquent in board to-day. The officers of the Gold Mining Exchange an- nounce that the listing of mines on the Gold Mining Exchange differs from the usual methods of placing securities before the mvesting public. Thé mine must first be examined by the en- glneers of the exchange. If the report is favor- able the property is listed and recommended as a meritorious investment. Unless the mine-owners censent to this preliminary exam ination the prop- erty cannot receive the backing of the exchange. For this reason the securities on this boara offer exceptional opportunities to investors who desire t0 buy shares in bona-fide mines. belng oifered Is treasury The stock now stock, a limited portion of which is being soid only for development pur- Pposes: BOARD ALES.
