NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, April 9.—Operators In stocks maintained a strictly walting attitude to-day. he extreme variation In prices reached a point or over in a good many stocks and the market took on some show of animation in the first hour on the upward movement, but the purely fictitlous character. of this advance was dem- onstrated by the relapse in the second hour. The day's net changes are hardly perceptible in man mixture The market was without any more significance than yesterda: The total sales of stocks were less than 100,000 The fact that the London exchange share: osed left New York without the initia- ,m that quarter.

Meantime the amount of trading which Is invited is very sm are n r the level of the value for éxisting conditions since those who held stocks are not anxious to sell and those who seek them are not willing to offer more for them than pre- vailing prices. Prices fell continuously -pre- vious to the Maine report in the effort to find | the true level and to discount that event and | result. It is the invariable rule prob that a prolonged price movement overshoots | the mark, resulting in reaction.

The loss in deposits was due to the continued interior movement, and to liquida- tion_in loans, although , the shrinkage of $8.067,900 in this item ~whs undoubtedly con- nected In part with sterling exchange trans actions by which the gold import movement is sustained. The higher rates for money have also operated to reduce the loan account, and every decrease counts since the banks are doing very little business -in-mercantile chan- nels. The movement toward the interlor as- sumed. heavy proportions _through . the sub- treasury. The decrease of $3,789,300 in cash was even less than expected, but while the receipts of gold for the current week were nearly $,- 000,000, the increase was but $1,320,800. The bank which is the largest Importer of specie appears to have reduced its gold holdings over $4.000,000, and its deposits about $5,000,000, the | latter being one-half the loss reported by the sixty-five clearing-njuse institutions. The coming week will decide to a great extent the future rates for money. Under present condi- tlons the movement to the interfor. will con- tinue, and as the banks have been called upon for 10 per cent of the Union Pacific money now money. On the other hand a pacific solutin of the Cuban crisis means an abnormally cheap money market. NEW YORK GRAIN AND PRODUCE. NEW YORK, April 9.—FLOUR—Receipts, 11 barrels; exports, 16,M0.

CHICAGO, April .—With the exception of a little activity around the opening, trading in Wheat was so dull as to be hardly worthy ‘of among traders to await Monday’s developments at Washington before committing themselves very much, and this and the absence of any incentive in the way of. cable quotations con- fined trading almost altogether to a slow and narrow scalping business. The opening was steady in July at $4%@s5c, compared with yes- terday’s closing price of Sifc. There was evi- dently still some nervousness among shorts on account of vesterday's heavy buying move- ment, but the demand from this source soon died away. Most of the speculators in the pit | were bearishly inclined on account o{_lhe: ble crop reports from Ohio and Ken- tuc As the Government crop revort on | Monday is expected to be favorable there was a little selling pressure put on the market for | | a short time after the opening, resulting In a decline to S4%c. This was removed and buy- ing stimulated somewhat by New York advices | | to the effect that foreigners were good buyers liberal acceptances of yesterday's Q the vrice slowly recovered to . the highest point of the day. After this | advance the market gradually sold off again to $414@Si%c under realizing, and for the rest | of the session did not move o efther w: September followed July closely In the matter of fluctuations. There was a little revival of | st in May, which has been practically at | a standstill all ‘'week, and a number of trades | were made in it at §1 06, a cent above yester- | day's price.

Light arrivals again this weck, still we have ample for all immediate requirements. Prices of fuel for family uses have been let down somewhat; this is mainly | attributable to coal freights weakening from | shipping points in Washington and British | Columbia, as they are now back to their nor- tained in the coal trade; in this the owners of sailers have been disappointed. In January, | when coal freights were marked up $1 to $125 per ton, colliery agents were forced to follow, ut the difference in their delivery prices here to consumers left them no greafer profit, as the carrier received the entire difference, Steam grades remain unchanged, as any at- tempt to mark these up would be checked by | offerings from Australia. Engagements from | Swansea are multiplying, thirteen charters have been made from theré in less than sixty days, but there {s difficulty in getting coal as | the “colliery proprietors and operatives have | some digagreements to settle, so for the mo- | ment the men are out on a_strike.
