DISCOUNTING The Wall-street circular of Carley, Stokes & Co. says of the New York market: For several weeks past we have been dis- counting war; from this day forward we will discount peace. By this we mean that the general tendency of prices will be upward. Of course in the event of some spectal disaster for a_moment the market would decline, but Buch disaster can only come in any important degree from a large naval battle. When we say the market will now proceed to discount a settlement of our troubles with Spain, we do not mean that it will have its entire advance in the immediate future, but we do mean that the war scare has gone out of the security markets. No reaction here- after will take place, except one of a tempo- rary character when the small traders happen | come to hand, especlally that through British to be overloaded and some false rumor or tem- | porary disaster i made known. THE LUMBER TRADE. Pacific Coast Wood and Iron says: “Despite the war news, the drought and the dull times, the millmen continue to cut lumber and send it into San Francisco and the south. Prices are down and will continue so for the present. The fact there is too much lum- for 00,000 feet, special was plated with a ver made. One orde sizes, to be used in flumes, Humboldt mill and cutting on it will he com- menced at once. Steamers are being withdrawn from the / n routes and will soon be back in the lumber carrying trade, so a large influx ingles may soon be expected, as there are millions awaiting shipment. On the whole, there is a better feeling among the millmen and hopes are entertained of a better state of affairs “The Spanish-American war is having its influence upon Eastern trade circles and the lumber industry is somewhat affected. There D) ent regarding the reva confl are divers opinions the ultimate effect of t, but the general feeling is confident. In fact, fear of a crisis is held by but few, and even the more conserva- tive hold that the prices will advance after a little slump, which may occur early in the scason. A tendency to wait is seen throughout the East and Middle West, but this is only tempora ‘nlike on this Co . the crop prospects on ent are very prom- ising and prices are steady and remunerative. The Ata hipping rates are naturally high, owing to the war risks, and vessels sall with cargoes quoted risk of purchase Rail will take precedence over sea shipments, and an advance of will necessarily pr this important alteration, “"A_resume of the entire lumber industry in the U for over.

NEW YORK, May 2.—Wall street saw a day of speculative activity and furor which has not been equaled before this year. There were many varying phases In the events of the day. The upward surge of prices at the opening was met by enormous offerings to realize which caused & loss of from & third to & half from Wyoming and | | Tlow | mpanied | | to 7s 9%d. The immediate future of the money | net gain of 5-16. the opening gain. The upward movement was then renewad and there were occasional periods of hesitancy afterward, but no serious re- action. The market closed in another burst of animation and very buoyant in tone, with prices, except for a few stocks. at the top level. When the market opened the influential bull operators who bought stocks last week in anticipation of a United States victory in the Philippines stood ready to take their profits. Evidently the operations of this coterie had been largest in Sugar, St. Paul and Burling- ton. They were aware that the news of Lom- modore Dewey’s victory had brought large or- ders to the commission houses to buy stocks, and they met the outside demand by bidding up the prices at the opening as far as lay in their power. They succeeded in effecting a Jjump of 6% In Sugar and about four points in Buriington and St. Paul. Their heavy selling to realize in these stocks caused a reaction all through the market. The accounts of the bat- | tle in Manila left it a guestion whether the | United States vessels could effect the es- tablishment of a base for further operations or whether they would be obliged to make for home. The London Exchange was closed for a holiday and Paris was looked to for a re- flection of the foreign view of the engagzement. There was firmness in Spanish 4s at that cen- ter, the price having gained 6 net by the time trading ceased. These elements of doubt helped the reaction in the first hour. But as additional scraps of information began to official sources, there grew up a better appre- ciation of the scope of the advantage gained and of its probable effect in bringing about an early termination of the war. The volume of outside orders from all over the country showed a large increase as the day progressed, and the demand was so active and confident that the effect of the early re- action was entirely overcome. The Erangers and the internationals showed remarkable strength _as groups, and the majority of these stocks showed net gains of over three points | on the day. Even more striking gains were shown in some special cases. Consolldated Gas rose 8 points, Pullman 9% points ex-dividend. Lackawanna 11 points over Saturday's bid price, and Oregon Navigation preferred gained 4%. 'Net gains otherwise are mostly found within a radius of 1 to 8 points. The scramble to buy at the opening was terrific and simul- taneous prices varied from 2 to 3 points in ugal, Burlington, St. Paul and Manhattan. ndard Oil liquidating certificates were the feature of the outside market with an advance of 15 points. The bond market lsaped into activity and showed notable strength, the speculative issues leading with gains of about 2 per cent.

CHICAGO, May 2.—On the belief that the war would soon be ended prices to-day de- clined on the Board of Trade. Despite higher quotations in Europe traders here sold every- thing freely. Trading in wheat began with the American naval victory at Manila upper- most_in the speculative mind. Traders be- lieved that the end of the war was possibly in sight, and that it would be followed by a cessation of the urgent foreign demand From the start professionals sold July wheat freely lc below Saturday’s close. They did that in spite of the fact that Liverpool started 1d higher, and did not convince themselves of having perhaps too hastily commenced dis- counting the termination of the war untl later quotations f terial additions to the initial advance. Chicago bears amended their original views on seeing the continued foreign strength, and the result was a recovery in the course of an hour of all the early decline. Rumors of the sur- render of Manila caused several sharp hr_!nks later. The visible supply decreased 2,651,000 bushels. Fine weather reports were offset by predictions of frost in the West. July started ic lower at from S3%@4c, improved gradually to 94%c, dropped back to S4c and advanced again to $%c. 1t dipped as low as 9%c. The close was at 94%@343c, a net loss of %o, May opened Yc lower at $120, declined to $1 17T}, reacting to $1 20 at the close. Fine weather was the dominant influence in the corn pit. Liquidation was heavy in all options. July closed 7c net lower. Trading in oats was heavy. Distant futures ruled weak throughout on free liquidation. May closed ¥c lower and July lc lower. The Mantla_victory caused some selling of rovisions and prices ruled lower throughout. @sc; choice, @7c. 32,320; Rock Northern Pacific preferred, | Island, Paul, 65,100; Southern pr ferred, 6063; Union Pacific preferred, 81,280; | Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf, 4290; Ameri- Tobacco,’ 21.250; Chicago Great Wi 0; General Sugar, 104 Western U STOCKS. lectri ; Tennes fon, 4416.
