NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Stock quotations to- day were decidedly irregular, and the move- ment was in some respects & counterpart of yesterday. Prices opened favorably for the bulls a number of stocks, the industrials and the being prominent. Subsequently, values moved alternately down and up, and leaving net changes mixed with losses averag- a point in prominent raflways, accompanied sational advances among the specialties. dispatch from the American naval com- mander in the Far Bast requesting the pres- ence of a battleship for political reasons was considered possible of an unfavorable inter- pretation, but the rout of a body of Filipinos by the American army in a measure offset the advices, London, after some firmness, was a | seller on balance. The International shares » generally fractionally higher in the early dealings, while the advance in Burlington, To- bacco and the steel stocks gave an early ap- pearance of strength. The smart recoveries from yesterday's close failed to hold in the case of the raiiways. Realizings in St. Paul on | its favorable showing for the third week in February left it below yesterday, and Burling- ton lost its early advance and declined further, ending with a loss of % on the reported aban donment of a_general refunding pian. There was considerable professional selling, as well as some realizings and stop-loss orders wers reached. Traders were induced to sell on the | idea that there would be another substantial decrease in the bank reserves to-morrow. The displayed feverishness as the contend- nterests succeeded in elther lifting or de- the afternoon’s trading. Tob: made a max- fmum rise of six points on the rumor that a large operator was short and refused to cover | and the circulation of stories as to the com- pany’s earning power. Subsequently the price Tan off and closed With a net gain of 1%. | There were some very violent advances among | the local specialties, the extreme rise in the case of Third Avenue being 14, Consolidated Gas 12%, Brooklyn Union Gas 8% and 2 points in Metropolitan. The advance in the gas stocks was on the expectation of securing the passage of the law allowing the convenient manufac- ture of gas in contigudus territory which would permit the disposal of valuable new real estate. The rise in Third Avenue was sald to be on the discovery of an unsuspected short Interest existing. The highly favorable condition re- ported in the iron and steel industries and in- timations that the relations of the leading in- terests would be closer led to an extreme ad- yance of 5% in American Steel, with which Federal Steel sympathized to the extent of 3%, its extreme rise. American Tin and New York Air Brake rose 3 points at a jump. Sugar was eomewhat weak at one time on the continuance of dividend rumors, and International Paper ghares receded on realizing following the decla- ration of dividends of 1% on the preferred and 1 on the common. The selling of the active list began with heavy realizing in Burlington and Sugar. The feature of to-day’s bond trading was the active inquiry for San Antonio and Arkansas Pass 45, which improved 4 points. The general market was very irregular, weakness and Etrength developing in many lssues. Total -sales, $5,000,000.

Review to-morrow will say: ter portions. ties and neglected parts appesrance to | | | | | i found traders were disposed to attack values, ant. The fact that the Burlington refunding plan, a helief which was adhered to by a consider- | able number of operators in the face of all | deniale, proved to be a far less comprehensive | plan than had been predicted, also tended to | unsettle the market and bring out offerings of | grangers and other high-priced stocks. Conse- | ) quently when the room traders ralded the | market on Thursday afternoon prices showed | a readiness to yield, and the fact developed that | a considerable number of stop-orders were un- earthed in Friday’s market. Irregularity was prevalent, the standard stocks selling off, while manipulative strength in the industrials, particularly the lower ones, was the principal sustaining factor. There has been a large amount of activity on the part of commission houses, the diaposition to buy stocks extending to specialties and low-priced securitfes, wit less of a resard for investment values and | more inclination to follow manipulation or to accept rumors at their face value than the market has exhibited for some time past.

The slight hardening of money which made | Sjoux Falls, its apvearance in the last two days has not passed unnoticed and perhaps alded In caus- ing more conservative views to become preva- lent, while it must also be noted that the ac- tivity of the iron and steel markets and the generally cheerful nature of reports regard- ing those industries are looked on as argu- ments of some force for the continuance of bullishness on the industrials. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE. NEW YORK, Feb. 24—R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade will say to-morrow: The situation is without precedent. Busi- ness has never been better on the whole, and in some great Industries the gain is astonish- ing. Exnorts surpass last year's as much as though the excess over imports then han last year and smaller than in efther of six years past. Stocks are stronger, the average for the active rallway securities being a little higher imports, was heavy. Fallures are smaller and for trusts much more, owing to the e traordinary advance of $48 75 in Tobacco. Pa ments through exchanges show a greater vol um son, and nearly’ one-half larger than in th best of previous years. The outgo of bread stuffs and cotton continues heav: not last Popular Impressions have to be reckoned with because they control events. Yet at every point of danger except one the signs are in every respect favorable. The upward rush of 16.5 per cent in the prices of pigiron since January 1, and 17.6 per cent in prices of iron Boes ‘Indeed raise a ques. tion whether exports of such products may not | be temporarily checked, but if they could be entirely stopped, as they are not, the balance | due this country would still be large. The crush of demand for finished products, at a time when nearly all the works are crowded by orders covering production until July 1 or “ | later, causes many to refuse to contract be- yond that date except at higher prices, and a rise under such circumstances may prove the one thing needful to sober buyers and to bring into the list of producers other estab- lishments heretofore idle. While a fairly large capacity of production is still in reserve, the demand now pressing for cars, vessels, bridges, & pipes is partly to anticipate an expected rise in prices. The best sign is that the great producers appear to be anxious to maintain thelr hold on forelgn markets, al- though just now unable to take orders for and steel ‘products, bufldings an future delivery. all grades of goods. scarelity of . 3,279,735 bushels, against 4,656,793 last year. The exports have been so heavy that many doubt their con- tinuance, and yet graln comes from the farms and then goes abroad as It such doubt ad The Western receipts during the past three weeks have been 9,375,473 bushels, against 7,835,426 last vear. Fallures for the week have been 181 in the United States, against 233 last year, and forty in Canada, against thirty last year. BRADSTREET'S ON and filling between 72%c and 78%c for May until ths last hour of the session the market be- looked for a while as if it was going to break up in little pleces when ru- mors of considerable export business having been done commenced to be circulated. Soon it became known that 500,000 bushels of wheat held in New York by a Chicago firm had been sold for export and that 200,000 bushels of Kan- sas wheat had been disposed of to be shipped by way of gulf ports. New York wired also that late London cables bid 6 more for wheat than the price at which th ings vesterday. That changs lexion of the market, and from being list- ess and inclined to go lower it became very ng and quite active. May mounted in a few minutes from 72%c to T3%e. and before the end it brought 73%c, with the latest trading at %@TI%C.

It was an average day iIn local securities. The leading variation was an advance in Ha- wallan Commercial. The mining stock market is purely a pumping proposition at present. If the water is being lowered prices go up, and if there is any halt in the operations they immediately go down. The depression of the past two or three days has been due to the temporary cessation of pumping in order to make some alterations. The capacity of the pump with 100 miners’ inches of water for the first 1ift is 12,700 gallons per minute; with 150 miners’ inches of water it is 19,000 gallons, and with 200 miners' inches it is 25,440 gallons per minute, but owing to the limited capacity of the drain boxes in the Su- tro tunnel only 3600 gallons per minute will be pumped for the present. Yesterday's telegram read: “'Stopped pumps several times during the past twenty-four hours’ for the purpose of test- ing. The water rose four feet, but was quickly lowered, and now stands 53 feet and 6 inches below the 1750-foot level. The market was weak In the morning, but made a general recovery in the afternoon. The Orleans Mining Company of Nevada County has levied an assessment of 7 cents per share, delinquent March 14, The Granite Hill Mining and Development Company of Nevada County has levied an as- sessment of 2 cents per share, delinquent March 15. The official report from the Standard Consol- idated mine of Bodie under date of February 18 says that raise“No. 1 on the 150 level has ten inches of fair-grade ore in the top, and has been stopped temporarily. They are still rais- ing from the 316 level to connect with the 150 level, and the raise has 36 inches of ore in the top. Tha south drift on the 315 level has thres feet of poor ore in the face. The east crosscut in the Black ledge on the same level has passed threugh a low-grade vein ten inches wide. Stope No. § on the 150-foot level in_the Moyle vein shows 14 inches of good ore. Good ore is also being stoped from the Fortuna vein on the 582-foot level and from other points in the mine. During the week the new mill ran smoothiy and crushed a total of 3l tons of ore; average assay vanner tailings, $10 11; concentrates pro- duced one and a half tons; no assoy value stated; plate amalgam produced, 1895 ounces; value per ounce not stated. s STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE.
