NEW YORK, June 2 -The Evening London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here continue quiet, the only feature to-day being a sharp rise in Span- ish 4's and a hi eavy Post’s fall in Grand Trunks, the latter due to the poor traffic report. Amer- fcans were featureless. common stock was sold heavily, above the worst. The rise in Spanish #'s to-day was due to bears co’ Spanish Baltimore and Ohio but closed ering on the advertisement by the overnment of a decree which ~com- pels the stamping of bonds prior to the 30th of June In order to obtain payment of the July coupon in cash.

There were plenty of buyers at the concession so readily offered and there was soon enough of it to cause a quick recovery to 67%c.

NEW YORK, June 2.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Reflection of the advanced stage of the season s found in a perceptible quiet- ing down of distributive trade in many parts of the country, and accompanying this have been announcements of the fixing of periods of annual shut downs in many industrial lines, but significant of the changed conditions which now animate and control business, as com- pared with corresponding periods in previous years, are the continued large gains In the volume of bank clearings over preceding years, quite favorable reports from most of the coun- try's leading Industries, notably iron and steel, in which next year's wage scales are being adjusted with unexampled ease, comparatively heavy exports of cereals and the products from most of the leading ports, and rather less than the usual shading of prices common at this period of the year as the result of the advance into the midsummer period. Following ' the demoralization in wheat prices come a more steady tone and the growth of a feeling that perhaps the ‘“‘bear’’ movement in prices may be overdone as was the ‘bull” movement, which culminated & month ago. With the exception of a rather spotted con- dition of the whole crop in different States, chiefly as the result of too much moisture, thé crop situation in the country, as a whole, has rather fmproved. Less is heard of extravagant wheat crops, But the production of a crop of wheat in excess of all previous totals is ex- pected. The iron situation has not developed suffi- clently to allow of any very pronounced fore- casts of next season’s business. Concessions made by employers, however, in this line would seem to indicate confidence in a continuance of a large husiness at least at prevailing prices, which, it should not be forgotten, are in numer- ous instances higher than they were n year ago. The tone of cotton manufacturing has quite perceptibly improved, this being due perhaps on one hand to the placing of large amounts of Dbleached goods at price concessions and to the development In some degree of the Eastern demand for summer fabrics. Less satisfaction is expressed In the woolen goods trade, and businees here is classed _as slow and unprofit- able, with raw wool reflecting _dullness in manufacturing and in unchanged Eastern quo- tations. Cereal exports are somewhat smaller than in recent weeks, but are still in excess of preceding years. Wheat shipments for the Week aggregate 3,799,470 bushels, as against 4,396,000 bushels last week, but compared’ with 2/156,000 bushels in this week a vear ago, 2,263~ 000 _bushels in 1896, 1,946,000 bushels in and 1,975,000 bushels in 18." Corn exports show a very slight falling off, IFMIIIHG for the week 3,002,521 bushels, nst 4,106,000 bushels Iast week, 2,251,000 bushels a vear ago, 1,236,000 bushels in 1866 and 884,000 bushels in 1895. Business faflures for the week in the United States are ahnormal, numbering 220, as com- pared with 207 last week, 215 this week & year ago, 218 in 1896 and 215 in 1895, Business failures in the Dominion of Canada this week number 19, as com; with 19 last week, 17 in this wek a year » 19 in 189 and 28 in 1895, r DUN'S REVIEW. NEW YORK, June 2_R. G. Dun & Cos ‘Weekly Review of Trade will say in to-mor- row’s issue: Very little of the new business seen, in proportion to_the aggregate, has been caused by the war. Not any, discoverable by ordinary_ tests, has been prevented by war. Neither has the collapse of the wheat specula- tion caused the excessive relative decrease of shipments, for exports continue remarkably large. Gold comes or does not come, as Wwe want it, the world's markets being evidently at our command. An offering of bonds by the Government brings out at the start bids for more than three times the amount offered, while the popular subscription ~already for three-quarters of the amount exhibits in strong light the confidence of the people. Wheat ceased to fall and begins to rise in price because foreigners’ needs are not yet satisfled. Atlantic exports for the week were, wheat and flour {ncluded, 3,246,205 bushels, against 1,445,947 last year; Pacific exports, 517,- 152 bushels, 'against §7,050 last year, and the demand is not of a speculative character. The world's need of grain is greater than ever and 213,821,567 bushels of wheat and 207,317,483 bush- els of corn have gone abroad alréady, with a week to spare, far more than was ever before exported in one year. After falling to 80c for cash and 7i%c for July wheat rose to 83c for cash and T for July, with foreign demand. Corn was steady without much fluctuation, exports being 2,574,723 bushels for the week, against 1,660,922 'last year. Of other grain ex- ports have been unusually heavy. The industries, at the season when stoppages are to be expected, maintain production sur- prisingly. There are very few interruptions on | account’ of iabor and wage scales for the com- ing year have nearly all been amicably set- tled.” The iron industry is very dull at the East, with the complaint that prices do not rise, 'but at Pittsburg and the West the works are getting more business constantly and are even competing so sharply that prices are slightly lower for bars, cut nails, steel rails and gray forge, while Southern iron is also offered lower there than at the East. The enormous demand from agricultural re- gions for implements, fencing, cars, raflway equipment and all sorts of bullding {8 the new feature of this remarkable year. Minor metals are fairly steady, with tin at 15.2¢c, lake copper at 1L7c, with 22741 tons produced in the United States'and 6486 abroad in May. and lead is strong at 35c, with only moderate transactions. S Wool 18 stronger a shade, 100 quoted by Cates Brothers, averaging 18.20, against 18.8ic Tune 1, but - because- of Western demands, Which ‘are relatively 4c above prices which manufacturers will pay, excepting to fill im- medlate orders. ~As the future of the trade is in doubt, though with more hopeful prospects, sales of ‘wool have been, in three weeks, only 11,695,300 pounds at the three chief markets, against 20,555,100 in the same weeks last year and 23,728,200 In the same weeks of 1892. Cot- ton has weakened 3-16c, with excellent crop prospects, but a larger ‘demand for goods is scen, though not as yet enough to cause any advance in prices. Reports of distribution are generally encouraging. Failures for the week have been 26 In the United States, against 216 last year, and 11 in Canada, against 24 last year. BANK CLBEARINGS.
