NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. —The market for se- N eurities was sluggish and almost stagnant to- TW YORK, April day. Prices ruled below Saturday’'s close, and while there was & brief pause at one time dur- ing the morning In the downward course, due to strength shown by ome or two of the in- dustrials, the sagging tendency of the market | was practically uninterrupted. The trading was narrow and professional, represented nothing more than a natural re- action from Saturday's advance. The supply of mtocks continued very limited, holders ap- parently being content to hold thelr property for higher prices. Neither is there any very active demand for stocks at the present level. The consequence is that the movement of prices is rather narrow. There being no genuine d mand for stock and no real pressure of liqui- dation, prices naturally lose one day what was gained the day before or gain the next day what they lose to-day. There was some sell- ing in this market to-day for Lopdon account, which may have represented liquidation by timid foreign holders. There was some specu- lative activity also, and quite a wide move- ment of prices in some of the higher-priced industrial speclalties. Otherwise the market was in the hands of the room traders. Tho waiting attitude of traders is likely to con- tinue until the occurrence of some event gives a clear indication of the course or probable duration of the war with Spain. The future of the stock market is also de- pendent largely on the course of the money market. There Was nothing in to-day’s develop- ment to indicate accurately what that course will be. There is some demand for currency from the interior, Chicago exchange on New York falling again to-day to discount. There was a sharp advance in the foreign exchange rates, demand sterling bills rising 3% per cent. The bond market was very dull to-day and rices drifted to a lower level. Total sales, 75,000 United States new 4s advanced % per cent to-day, while the 25 declined 1 per cent, the old 46 coupon i per cent and the old 4s regis- tered 3% per cent in the bid price. Total sales of stocks to-day were 145,100 shares, including: Burlington, 13,200; Erie pre- ferred, 3110; Manhattan, 7233; Metropolitan Btreet Raflway, 630; New York Central, 3087; Northern Paciflc preferred, 3929; Rock Island, 43%; St. Paul, 18,47; American Spirits, 330} and declines really | American Tobacco, 16,895; People's Gas, 3266; Sugar, 19,924, CLOSING STOCKS.

Liverpool continued to climb until the close of the futures showed a gain of 51 @6%c per bushel. Duluth and Minneapolis added to the bear's torments by reaching a point Sc above Saturday's close. This mar- ket finally got started, and from around $2¢ rapidly climbed to S3c. May, which had started | only lc higher at §1 15, suddenly jumped with | lc and 2c between trades to $12), the highest price in several vears. The Atlantic port clearances of Wheat and Flour for the day amounted to 600,000 bushels. The world's ship- ments to Europe last week were 7,413,000 bush- | els, against 9,062,000 bushels the week before and 3,823,000 $he corresponding week of ISO7. Russia supplied S08,000 bushels of the total compared with 3,240,000 bushels the week of the year before. The quantity on ocean passage was reduced §80,000 bushels last week. The domestic visible Furrl‘\sed the trade by show- ing a decrease of 3,240,000, agalnst a reduction for the same weck of last year of only 778,000 bushels. The heaviest decreases were at Chi- | o Minneapolls, Duluth and New York. May | dropped back to' §117, but rallied to $120, | closing at $1 19% sellers, a net gain of S%c. After the advance in July to 9c, the market | became very feverish, selling off to 92c, up to | 93%c, down to 924c, ‘then up to 92%c, ‘closing | at @iz, Five minutes after the close S3%c was | paid on the curb for July, Corn was active and strong throughout the | fon. Sales for export of about 1,000,000 | shels, an advance at Liverpool of 1lc and | at’ London were the chief factors. July closed with a net gain of 13c. | | Scarcity of Oats, advances abroad and the | | strength of Wheat and Corn helped the Oats | | market early and contributed to an advance of Tie in May and 14c in July. War | | 21, Provisions ‘were stronz and active. news and heavy outside speculative buying | were the chief factors. The close was near the | top.

NEW YORK, April 2.—The strongest kind of war prices raged in all of the graln and provision markets this morning. Liverpool set the pace with a sensational jump of 4%@5%d | pdvance in wheat quotations, and the bulls on this side, after a week of cringing before the bear element, Immediately secured the upper hand and squeezed the shorts to the tune of | 5%4c a bushel before midday. It was a time of extraordinary excitement in the local whéat pit. Millions of bushels changed hands, and at times the ring was in a state of wild con- fusion. The May option leaped to 115% and July §%c, the latter, compared with 94%c at the close Saturday. It was well along toward the noon hour before the tremendous demand was satisfied and prices eased off a little from the top. Besides the Liverpool strength. the local bulls were aided by reports that Russia was short of supplies and asking big advancec for her wheat. The prominence of that coun- try as a competitor of the United States gav this news great significance. The visible sup- 1y decrease of 3,240,000 bushels was twice as arge as expected, and also helped the forenoon strength, Tater in the day the crowd sold sut a_part of its purchases, causing a cent break from the top, but renewed closing firmness left fnal Jrices 14@s%o nat higher, near monthe show, ing the greatest strength. About 430 loads of wheat, 160 loads of corn and 630,000 bushels of oats were taken for export at all ports to-day. May Wheat sold from $1 11% to $1 16%, olosing at_the latter figure. July ranged from %%c to 99%¢, closing at 99%e. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, April 25.—Sensational advances in foreign and outside domestic markets, a_de- crease of over 3,000,000 bushels {n the American visible Wheat supply and small world's ship- ments caused the upturn in Wheat which all other markets followed. Although Liverpool opening cables to-day quoted Wheat at 34d a bushel advance, this market displayed a halting tendency after the first rush of trading, and throughout the session gave evidence of heavy liquidation on hard spots. While In the first half hour of the session Liverpool had risen the equivalent of 3%c a bushel, New York 2ic, Minnesota and Duluth Gc, Chicago in the same Rye, bushels. Barley, bushels.

MONDAY, April 25—4 p. m. There could not possibly be a whiter city than Cadiz, unless it were built of snow. As you near the coast you see in front of you a white mass which appears to be floating upon the water, just as you are. The first thought of a foreigner is that he is in sight of an iceberg. The | white mass, glittering in the sun and rendered more dazzling by the blue sea and sky, looks exactly like a monster fce mountain partly melted, so that outlines of castles and hills appear upon 1t; but only for a second does the illusion last. for you know there are no icebergs in that part, and you are quickly informed that it 1s Cadiz. No other town in the world presents such a magic appearance. —_————— The expense attending the marriage of the Prince of Wales was about £41,000. THE CALL CALENDAR.
