YORK MARKETS, to- NEW Financial. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 24.—Speculation at the Stock Exchange t0-day was strong early in the day and the trend of prices was upward, owing mainly to the fact that quotstions came higher and that the St. Paul statement for the third week of April was unexpectediy favorable. There was a brisk inquiry of local account for all the leading. sheras, as well 48 the speculatives. Tobacco jumped 254 to 73 and the remainder of the list $iuproved anywnere from 14 10 1 per cent. The iranzers were strong and scored the highest figures yet attained. In the afternoon Tobacco reacted to 7014, but this had comparatively little influence, Even when Sugar broke from 1257 to.12134 on heavy sales, bused on the passage of the anti-trust Dill by the Legisiature at Albany, speculation dis- piayed little weakne: Ii sugar bad declined as much at any other time within the past few weeks the market would un- doubtedly have suffered materisl losses. This afiernoon the decline was ouly 14@134 per cent and at the close there was a fractional rally all round. There was little pressare to sell outside of the ranks of the room-traders, and it may be said that the market developed great firmness under the circumstances. Net changes in the rallway list sbow drclines of 14 to 3, while in sugar & drop of 8 per cent was recorded. Tobacco on the other hand advanced 34 per cent. Total sales were 238,500 shar-s. aluds were higher, The sales fogted up §1,- 00 Aichison,, Colorado and Paclfic sixes 3 Baltimore and Ohlo Consolidated ; Chicaco Gas fives, 114 to 9214; s Pacific'sixes of 1895, 115 to 110; Mil wag. kee and Northern firsts of 1910, 134 to 117; Pitts- burg and Western fours, 114 to 75.

In the Northwest there have been heavy rains, and seeding has been backward, but even in that section clearing weather has fol- lowed the recent showers, and from the best sources the information comes thatit is noty t t00 late to accomplish the work of plenting. The siatement by two prominent elevator proprietors that they purpose delivering out about 1,000.000 bushels each on the st of May, did not'tend to help the tone of the market to-d Liverpool cables were firm and %4d higher. Re- ceipts were mme cars at Chicago and 130,308 bushels_were taken from store. The Northwest had 347 cars against 301 last Friday and 5 year ago. In the last hour firmness dev-loped on reports of chich bugs in Kansas and 8 rumor that Thoman would give out a bullish condition on winier wheat Closing Continental cables were | nigher. Export clearances amounted to 1561.780 | bushels. July wheat opened from 6454@bds4c | o 6415@6454¢, sold between 837gc and 6514, | closing at_65Vc bid, Jgc higher (han yes:eiday.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 24.—R. G. Dun & Co. to-morrow will say in their weekly review of trade: Failures for the week have been 238 in the United States against 230 last yvear, and 44 in Canada sgainst 37 last year. Business has been favored by seasonable weather, and the distribution of products has made falr progress, not yet reducing retail or wholesale stocks far enough, however, to materially improve the position of industries, Money markets have grown more favorable as well as the state of foreign commerce, and until an apparently grounaless revival of discussion about the Venezuela difficulty. there was brighter pros- | Missouri Pacific. pects of European investments here. The belief that agitation for cheap money will be permanently laia at rest this vear 1s gaining ground, and in financial quarters causes more confidencé for the future. Prices of commodities are on the whole lower than ever before, having declinea about 2 per cent. since April 1and 17 per cent since July, 1890, or October, 1892. The fall in manufactured prod- ucts is a little less than 1t was April 1, but in farm products greater. Speculation Is swayed by trifling influences when markets are very narrow. The recent advance checked buying of wheat for export, and Atlantic exports for the week were only 1,018,254 bushels, flour included, against 1,768,873 last year, while Western receipts were 2,094,567 bushels against 1,975,408 last year. With generally falr prospects a3 to’ winter wheat the price drojped about 2c, nearly half the rise based on gloomy receipts early this morying. Corn receipts continue heavy and the price is a shade lower. A single enterprising buyer was able to push up the price of cotion an eighth, though the progress of planting gives promise of a largs yield and the Teceipts continue as large as 1593, Cotton goods were bought less freely last week and the Northern milis have taken scarcely any cotton this month. The feeling is more hopeful because retall trade is beter. The situation in woolen £0ods does not improve. The large orders taken for boots and shoes when prices were re- duced fo last year's lowest, more than a montn 820, result {n shipments nearly equal to last year's; in April, thus far, 6 per cent less: but new orders are not Now coming freely except for immediate delivers to fill out broken stocks. Leather is weaker, with heavy sales averaging about 3 per centlower for the week, althouzh higher at Chi- cago. Neither pigiron nor manufactured goods have improved in demagd as yet, thongh further com- binations have raised prices of rodsand of bar iron to $1 20, while sieel barssell at $1 15, and nalls are to be 15¢ higher after May 1. Erokers at Pittsburg are still selling steel billets 60c below the vool prices, though it was {ormed more than three weeks ago, and Bessemer pig_has declined there to $18: gray forge stronger. Structural augles are a shade lower, though some good contracts are ex- pected. Many consumers of copper are working part time and_lake is offered at $10 65. Tin is dull, but a shade higher at $13 04, and lead, with large Western sales, at $3 0715, Makers of tin plates have agreed to maintain prices, $3 70 being still quoted for Bessemer coke, full weight, BANK CLEARINGS.

COAL—Harrison’s circular says: “During the week there have been seven arrivals from the Coast mines with 12,604 tonsof Coal, and three arrivais from Australia with 10,468 tons. There are overdue two vessels from 'Newcastle upon which extra insnrance rates are being paid, as it s feurcd one or both may not arrive. The sales this week for domestic uses have been large, as con- sumption has been materially increased by our stormy weather. There fs no noticeable change ot values, although there 1s & prevailing feeling on the part of shippers to fill orders at a shade less than the quotations of Jast week. ‘The general be- lief is better freights will;be pald for carrying grain the incoming harvest, and this may tend 1o weaken freights from Australia and England. There is I a scarcity of some characiers of Australian, although consumers are substituting others for the moment rather than pay the advance asked for the grades which are in short supply.
