EW YORK, April —The stock market was quite active and animated to-day, com- pared with the lethargy and sluggishness of yesterday. The day’s business was not by any means large, a there were prolonged periods in of dullness between the spurts of activity. There was no outside interest in the market of any importance and the buying was due to the initiative of one or two prominent oper- at who distributed orders with a liberal hand all through the active list. . This leader- ship invited more or less following among the | gmall room traders. The buying was based | the confident assumption that the ap- proaching naval engagement ‘off the Philip- pines would result in favor of the. United e Bull operators expressed them- fident that such a victory would for a 5 point rise In the active The slight decline at the opening, to the heaviness of the L don market, which _did at_an fall to the parity e quickly overcome. The ers were conspicuous in the trading and led the advance in the sailroad list. No doubt the distinctly easier tone in the money market had something to do also with the awakening of the speculative spirit. There ling of confidence that the needs of States Treasury can be met without inconvenience to the money market. Call money was quite abundant to-day and loans due and were ‘made as low as 13% per cent. Shipments money continued to the interior, but in small volume. There was some increase of activity in the | bond market, but it was confined almost en- tirely to the 'speculative issues, which showed higher prices in sympathy with stocks.

Some persons say the order is really for o Spain. In connection with the recent rise in Amer- other grain and hemp, I learn that those here concerned in the movement are now insuring their profits at Lloyds, The charge of wheat ranges from § to ten guineas. The Bank of Spain’s return shows the effect of the recent run by a decrease of £1500 in the silver reserve. The minimum local proportion of the bullion to notes required by the Bank of Spain is 33 per cent. The present figure 1s 37_per cent. . Spanish exchange is selling at 45 pesetas to the pound sterling, the lowest on record. The difficulties in the West Australian mar- ket are coming to a_head. Two failures were announced to-day. Thirty-two brokers are in- volved and the debtor appears to have nothing to offer. Heavy losses must fol.ow and per- haps a scandal, but this affair is not likely to have a lasting effect. CLO: NG.

CHICAGO, April 28.—Traders in wheat had an exciting time during the first hour to-day on account of the violent advance at Liverpool, but there was an evident indisposition on the part of many to allow excitement abroad to unhinge thelr own judgment at home. A quite general impression prevailed among traders that foreigners were becoming hysterical over the supposition that Spain may interfere with the export movement of American products. But another portion of the trade Interprets the wild advance abroad to the sudden discov- ery by foreigners that there Is not enough wheat and flour available anywhere to keep them supplied until the next harvest. The rea- sonings of these two factions is what caused the market to fluctuate violently until the bears appeared to be on top. The advance of 8@10%c for July _and May at Liverpool and smaller rises at Paris and Antwerp were said to be the result of American covering, but ex- porters sold several cargoes of northern at 31 44 and private cablegrams said English_mil- lers were bidding excitedly for wheat. July, which started 2}2@3%c higher at 97}@95c, de- clined rapidly to %c, rallying just as quickly to Yithe. This range was covered several times. When July was selling around ¢ near the close a private cablegram from Argentine reported an increase in the estimated wheat vield of that country to 40,000,000. It caused enough selling to break July to 85, the low point of the day, but a quick rally to S5%c fol- lowed. July closed at the last-named figure, o net gain of %@%c. May sold between $1 21@ 124, closing 1%c net higher at $1 223, Corn started strong with Liverpool, which closed 1@2d_higher.

Mining Stocks were dull and not materfally changed. The Bulllon assessment falls delinquent in board to-day. Local securities sold well as usual, with a number of variations, up and down, in the favorites. The Geyser-Marion Mining Company of Utah | has declared a dividend of 2 cents per share, amounting to $60%, payable May 2. The Montuna Limited Gold and Silver Min- | ing Company has declared a dividend of 6% cents per share, amounting to %5040, payable May 16. The Rescue Mining Company of Park City District, Utah, has levied an assessment of 10 cents per share. The Channel Bend Mining Comvany of El Dorado County has levied an assessment of 2 cents per share, delinquent on May 27. The Virginta Chronicle publishes the follow- ing account of the work in the Alta mine and at the Company’s mill: The Alta mill with ten stamps dropping is pulverizing 25 tons of ore from the mine daily. The last assay from bat- tery samples showed an average value of gold, §15; silver, 21 fine ognces. The Whiffley cor centrators’ are doing good work and since the pulp from the concentators is being run through the pans only 4 small percentage of the battery assay value escapes. The stopes in the mine are looking well and are yield- the usual quantity and quality of ore. John Landers, president of the Alta Company, wiil arrive here Tuesday to look over the situation. In the Belcher mine, on the 120 level, no work was done in the crosscut during the past week. On the §50 level the joint Belcher and Crown Point west crosscut from upraise No, 118 now out 43 feet, having been extended 1i feet for the week. The face shows quartz giv- ing low assays. There was hoisted from the Beicher mine during the past week 53 mining carloads of ore of the average car assay of $18 59 per ton. The official letter from the Justice mine for the past week says: “The winze from the face of the southeast drift is now sunk a total depth of 40 feet. We have been engnged most of the time since the last report in timbering | and making other necessary repairs. During the week we have hoisted 615 tons of ore from the north drift on the % level. The car sam- ples of the same averaged $26 78 in gold and $14 91 in silver; total, $41 69 per ton. The report of the New Idria quicksilver mine for 1897 shows the treatment of 15,310 tons of ore, ylelding 3600 flasks of quicksilver. The financlal statement is as follows: Receipts Working expenses 381342 Dividends .. 30,000 $128,929 111,342 Surplus 17,587 The reduction works were in actual opera- tion only seven months. The ore territory is large and promising. The dividends are equal to 6 per cent on the capital. The surplus is $28,245. STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE, THURSDAY, April 25—2 p. m. Bid. Ask. Bid. Ask.
