The re- ts have been neither light nor heavy, and yet we are confronted with an exceedingly dull market. Holders seem disposed to let go and vers are very shy about making offers for hing except strictly choice wheat hay, and at articie has gone off in price 1o some even extent. The market showed every sign weakness on Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday’'s rain, although it did not amount to much, certainly tended to make matters still worse. Reports from most sections of the State indicate that with seasonable showers during the current month this State will have a good average hay crop. As there is 1o rea- son to suppose we will not have the showers so much desired, now that the ice has been broken, so to speak., it is hardly reasonable to expect any material improvement in values in the near Had the rain not come as it ia, we are inclined to think might have picked up a little.” REVENUE COLLECTIONS.

EASTERN MARKETS, NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, March 4—The stock market to-day worked upward under the impetus of s movement until the appearance of atement showing a loss of over in the surplus reserve, and another in the lo unts. Prices im- gave way sharply in many being from 1 to 2 points, and leaving the standard stocks fractionally below yesterday’'s figures. A good tone prevalled on Tondon exchange for Americans, but advices s to the nature of the purchases were con- fileting, intimating that the movement was fnitfated from this side, while others af- firmed it to be confident buying for English y mediately the sston some investment account. There were sharp ad- s early here In the steel stocks, the an- thracltes, Tobacco, Brooklyn Transit, General Flectric and prominent raflways, the latter tmproving some cases. Reports of some of the large bull Interests seemed to lend sup- port to Burlington and the Steel stocks. New York A Was @ Very strong spot, after the appearance of the bank statement, when everything sold off. Many of the early buy- evs threw over stocks and the market closed weak at the lowest. Stocks in which losses occurred for the weck outnumber those which advanced o to 1. The market opened with a show of strength on Monday, and th after sagged until Friday, when a better tone prevaiied up to the appearance of the bank statement, when prices eased off. The more prominent ines were Third Avenue Rall- road, 21: itan, 7; Pittsburg C. C. and 8t. Louis, lington, Central Pacific and Pacific Mall over 4 each. The conspicuous exceptlons to the general tendency were Am- erican Tobacco and American Steel, the former rising 8%, while the latter was up’ 3%. A_false tumor that Admiral Dewey had sunk erman crufser exerted an unsettling influ- = on the market which was not altogether wated by the emphatic denfals of the The underlying conditions were no less than formerly, while there were many evidences of prosperity in commercial and financial circles. The prevailing feeling of confidence was reflected by the advance in the wages of iron and ¢ ous sections of the country. The balance of trade, usually considered dependent so largel upon the foreign demand for cereals, Wwas strengthened very much by the increasing ex- | ports of domestic manufactured articles which are exceeding the imports by about 2 per cent. Indeed, the exports of rticles in value $ 0 for each working was also shown by rease in arings of 40 per cent for the we ed with the cor- responding pe t year. The continued demand for iron and steel products at rising | figures had a stimulating influence on shares | of comp: es con ted with the trade. The gradual contract, in the surplu reserve shown In the weekly bank statement, together with an expansion in the toans, cannot be re garded as remarkable when it is considewd that money has been needed to finance many raflway deals, but mere particularly colossal industrial combinations. The capitalization of such concerns organized within two months exceeds $1,500,000,000. Then large sums were required to care for American stocks-returned from abroad, but there were in- dications that some of these stocks were al- ready beginning to be reshipped to London. hardening rate for money appeared at one time, call money touching 41, but subsequently casing off to 21 per cent. The higher rate were established on_ securities which lack an active market. It is usual for money to .be meving toward the interior at this time, but the teraporary appearance of a higher rate started an influx of money to New York The imrrovement in the money rate was promptly followed by a decidedly easfer tone in the sterling exchange market, which was taken to irdicate the probability of America’s druwing vmon its funds loaned abroad snould the money rates rise sharply. The import of nearly $25,000,000 in gold at San Francisco with- in the last seven months has not attracted much attention in the East. This inflow, how- ever, bas bLeen fully reflected in the weekly bank statement of New York institutions from week to week Scale buying by the ieadars (f the street, together with some commission house purchusivg, absorbed the offerings of mid holders and traders at times when prices were atout lowest.

This excess of cash to is a decrease of about $4,000,000 since the clos- ing week in January. In the same time the loans have expanded $54,333,00 and deposits more than $:3,000,000. As a five weeks' record this advance has never been equaled. Had | the interior called for funds in the usual vol- ume the present surplus reserve would have | been very much less than reported. Conditlons, however, are such that receipts until within | a weelc or two have been sufficlent to counter- | act in large part the increase in the reserve | requirements. Now that the movement from | the interfor fs temporarily less, the constant loan and deposit expansion is having its full | effect on the surplus money on hand. But when the full scope of the operations of the t month is considered, it is to be said for the banks that they are making a wonderfully strong showing. They have met the demand for funds for new trusts, financed the return of American securities for Europe, supplied an unusually heavy stock exchange demand and absorbed the large volume of paper incident to the present trade revival. The current statement, therefore, while in- | teresting in its chenges, must be regarded as reflecting a culmination 'of previous conditions. | The reduction of $4.251.200 in specie is less | than the $5,000,000 decrease reported by one | | bank and is due to the smaller interior receipts and operations with the sub-treasury covering | the past ten dayw, the previous week's state- | ment not having shown these losses fully. The | increase in loans 1s heavier than expected, but in this item also more than the current week's | business is included. The cash decrease oper- ated to reduce deposits and the total expansicn was only $,236,700. This is less than the in- crease of $.000,000 reported by the Chase Na- tional, showing a real decrease on the part of | the remaining sixty-two banks. The financing | of new trusts had a great deal to do with the deposit changes, The slight advance in rates, which the statement forecasts, will probably | bring & great deal of money to New York within the next two weeks.

May closed at i2%¢, a loss ot Hc. Corn receipts were considerably heavier than expected and the dry weather led lo the ex- in the near future.

Harrison’s circular says: “During the weck there have been nine arrivals of coal from ‘Washington with 19,478 tons; three from Brit- ish Columbla, 9218 tons; ane from Oregon, 430 tons; three from Austraila, 7242 tons; one from Cardiff, 2874 tons; total, 9,262 tons. The ar- rivals this year to date’ are slightly in excess of the deliveries of 159, and the generous amount at hand this week will supply all im- mediate requirements. There is no change to note in prices, and trade generally s reported £00d in the fuel line. The outlook for & rain- storm is now more encouraging, and the few light showers we have had this weck are bringing buyers and sellers closer to each other, S0 that business for future loading grows more promising. Several new names have been added to the loading list in Aus- tralfa, which now numbers nearly as many as last year This is astonishing with the pres- ent high freights now ruling for coal. There will be a serious decline in all forelgn coal charters, if our anticipated stormy weather should visit us. ““The Coast mines are reaping a harvest again this year, as over 80 per cent of our fuelis furnished from those sources, and the delivery price here leaves a generous profit. So long as they are freed from labor troubles and accl- dents, the Northern mines are valuable prop- erty.’ It {s now a long time since the Coast collieries have had any serfous setbacks.” SALMON—Alaska Salmon is quoted at $1@ 105 per dozen f. o. b. on_carload lots.

Equitable Gas and Market-street Railroad were weaker. Mining stocks were quiet and quotations stood about the same as on Friday. Since the hydraulic pump in the C. and C. shaft etopped, at 11 p. m. on March 2, on ac- count of the breakage of a sectlon of the dis- charge pipe, the water has risen to a point 35 féet below the 1750 level and is still slowly ris- ing. The duplicate plece, made of gun metal, which is to replace the broken section of pipe, was shipped by the Risdon Iron Works Friday. It is expected that the pump will be repaired and the lowering of the water resumed by Monday morning. The Morning Star Mining Company of Iowa Hill, Placer County, has declared another monthly dividend at the rate of 33 per share. The official report of operations in the Stand- ard Consolidated mine of Bodie for the week ending February 25 states that 16 inches of fair ore is showing in the top of raise 4 on the 150 level and 42 inches of the same quality in the top of raise 1 on the 31§ level. Raise 3 on the 315 level has 36 Inches of ore in the top and has been stopped temporarily. Ralse 4, same level, has 16 inches fair ore in the top. The east crosscut, same level, shows several streaks of low-gradé quartz. The usual quantity of fair to good ore was extracted from the stopes on, the 150, 270, 318, 470 and G582 levels. The stopes are looking fairly well. Hay, tons . At the mill 374 tons of ore was crushed during the week; aver- age assay of vanner tailings, $1158; tons con- centrates produced, 11; plate amalgam pro- duced, 2180 ounces; assay value, $3 26 per ounce.
