NEW ‘orecast Offictal. YORK )CK MARKET. 1L—Bullish confidence encing stock prices to-day, W YORK, April led in 4 advanced pre: which almost continuously, slight set- backs regularly bringing new buyers. The 4l dealings were in large volume, bringing ie total to nearly three-quarters of & million es. There was continuous support by large optimistic utter- | an Potent allies of higher prices were the ehowing of the vernment crop report in win- wheat, which was better than expected, | Epring weather in the West, abundance of | money at easler rates and Washington advices that & sudden call on the depository banks for the funds to pay the Spanish indemnity was | ot contemplated, but that the withdrawal of Government funds would be gradual as hith- erto. A sentimental influence was the knowi- edge that a Presidential proclamation that we | are at peace with Spain would be issued to. day. The grungers were liberally purchased for Western wccount. The Vanderbilt lssues continued in active request. Local transporta- tion lines continued strong, Brooklyn Rapid Transit making an_extreme gain of almost 9 points. The other Flower speciaities were llke- wise beavily purchased, People’s Gas moving up over 4 points. Continental Tobacco’'s rise of 6% was in part associated with to-day's meeting relative to a new stock issue. Thei Southwestern group was active and strong, as were the iron and steel shares. In fact before the day was ended practically everything was higher, the larger gains being among the spe- clalties. Commission house purchases increased with the strength of the market. London was but a small factor, seiling about half as much 26 it purchased. Call money began with large loans at 8 per cent and gradually easing off 0 2G3 per cent. The ease of money was re- flected in an appearance of more stoength in the sterling exchange market, part of which was possibly due to anticipatory purchases in connection with the payment of the Spanish indemnity. Several foreign exchange authori- ties claimed to have mnoted no such buying hitherto, which leads to the bellef that the settloment was yet to be arranged. The mar- ket closed strong at about the best prices. The bond market followed stocks but to only & narrow extent.

CHICAGO, April, 1.—The Impulse among wheat speculator8 at the start was to sell on the Government crop report, which was regarded as bearish. May opened e lower at Ti%c down to 70%c, and as there was no great amount of wheat wanted to begin with the price declined steadily to 0%c. The de- cline was accentuated by a report from Kansas City to the effect that the Kansas crop had without doubt improved wonderfully in the last few days. The more the Government re- port was considered and analyzed the more the trade was Inclined to doubt If it could right- fully be given a bearish interpretation, and many of the early sellers wanted back former holdings. _May wheat rose from around 70%c to 71%c. In the end the market began to yleld to the little peeping note of improving pros- pects in Kansas and to turn a deaf ear to the rfect howl of distress from* other quarters. iquidation set n on a heavy scale and the market lost the advance about as fast as it gained it.

Fourteen hoxes ot Cherries came in and sold at $1 50@2 per box. Arrivals of Strawberries were 24 chests and brought good prices. There Is no change in citrus fruits, the mar- ket being freely stocked with all kinds, This bids fair to be a fine fruit year. Stocks of canned and dried fruit have run down to almost nothing, and owing to the shortage In the EBastern crop the canners and driers are making preparations to handle more than the usual quantity. The crop bids fair to be spot- ted, as the latest advices report more or less of a drop almost everywhere. There will prob- ably be plenty of fruit, though the crop will hardly be enormous, as many have thought up to the present.

HIDES, TALLOW OW, WOOL AND HOPS. Quotations for new Spring clip of Wool are now given. The market remains very dull. There is nothing new in Hops. Hides are quiet and prices are considered too high in comparison with Leather. The circu- lar of W. B. Sumner & Co. says: “The hide business remains about the same as last quoted. Prices continue at liberal fig- ures and sales are fairly active of certain grades of hides and there id little or no sur- plus stock in the market. Harness and Skirt- ing Leather has been quite active during the pust season and the better grade of hides com- mand liberal values. We are inclined to think that the present figures on hides will continue for some time at least. For the local market we quote: Wet salted heavy steers are in de-- mand for harness and skirting; wet salted me- dium and light steers are fairly active; wet salted cows sell readily; wet salted veal, kip and calf are active and Tule at full rates. “Owing to the dry seasons which have pre- vailed in California during the past year the tallow output has fallen off ana the stocks on hand at the present time are very small, Tallow_has advanced about 1 cent per pound since March 1, and the supplies at present recelved are hardly sufficient for the de- mands of trade.

The Increased gas rates gave Gas and Electric more tone, and there was some recovery in prices, though not so much as might have been expected. Sales were made at $T5@75 50. Hawailan Commercial was some- what higher at $il 50. Other stocks remained about the same. On the afternoon call business was quiet. Gas and Electric stock weakened off to $74 §7%. Mining stocks were stronger, though business continued qulet. The telegram from the pump said: “‘Elevator working steadily, keeping the water below 1850-foot level. The water in the winze from the 1750-foot level is 18 feet 5 inches below the station.” At the bond session of the San Francisco Stock Exchange % Hawailan Commercial sold at $91, 10 San Francisco Gas and Electric at $74 50 and §1000 of United States § per cent bonds at $108. Of the British Columbia mines the Rambler- Cariboo paid a dividend of $10,000 on the 1st. Anothcr, the War Eagle, will pay a dividend of §26,250 cn the 1ith. The Payne has declared its regular dividend of $25,000 for the month, payable on the 10th of April. The aver- age shipments from the Payne are about 20 tons of ore per week, which net $50,000 every month, haif of which'is paid in dividends. Be- sides these dividends bonuses are given during several months of the vear. During 1808 there were bonuses for September, October, Novem- ber and December. There will be no dividend paid by the Na- tomf Vineyard Company this month. The Challenge Consolidated reports $1M9 cash on hand April 1. nuthe Consolidated Imperial had $1357 cash on and. The following ore shipments were made by rail from the mines of Eureka district and vicinity in Nevada for the week ending April Bullwhacker mine, 37,480 pounds; Diamond, 30; Eureka Consolidated, 8,280; Leonte, Oriental and Belmont, 724); Richmond, 146,640; Williamsbursg, 4160, The ‘report of General Manager Ross of the Comstock Pumping Association for the past week reads as follows: *The pumping asso- clation has been engaged in cleaning out and repairing the C. and C. shaft below the 1750- foot level. The shaft is in falr condition. The pump compartment is nearly full of air pipes, columns, straps, pump rods and bobs, that are diffieult 'to take out. This compartment must be cleaned out, as the space is required for the second elevator that will be placed In this com- partment before the water can be lowered by the first arranged elevator. The plan Is to place the second elevator in the pump compart- ment at as great a depth as possible; then to start and hold the water at a point that will allow us to break the joints in the elevator that is now at work and raise it to the surface of the water, when such changes as are required can be made in the throat and nozzle, then to lower it Into the water again and submerge it as deep as possible. “When the water has been lowered the pump compartment will be cleaned out to as great a depth as possible and the elevator in this com- partment will be again lowered to the point where the required changes can be made In the first elevator. 1In this way of working the 500 feet of flooded levels will be drained. Judg- ing from our experience in draining the shaft for 150 feet below the Sutro drain boxes, it has been found that if an elevator was designed for the full lift of 500 feet and it could be sub- merged below that poiift it would drain the C. and C. shaft for that distance In from three to four weeka; but It would not be safe to at- tempt such work. The water is being drained from the lower levels slowly, while being rap- idly lowered in the C. and C. shaft, as our measurements taken af the Consolidated Cali- fornia and Virgina winze, the Hale & Norcross incline and the Chollar combination shaft in- dicate. 7 “It 1s quite possible that nearly all of the drainage from the various mines finds its way through the vein and not through the drifts, as our experience with Comstock drifts and levels indicates very clearly that there are but few places where these openings will not cave tight enough to form fairly strong dams. “Since April 1 the water has gone down in the Chollar combination shaft § feet 1 fnoh, in the Hale & Norcross incline 12 feet 6 inches and in the 1750 winze 16 feet § inches, while being lowered 120 feet In the C. and C. shaft. No measurements were bossible In the Osbiston shaft until April 6, when we found the water to be 52 feet 11 inches below the station of the drift connecting with the Sutro tunnel. The water in the C. and C. shaft is being kept down to about its lowest mark, 132 feet below the 1750 level, by running the elevator’sixteen hours during each twenty-four, We expect to con- tinue working in this way until the second ele- vator is in place. The pumping assoclation has been engaged as usual in doing work for the several mining companies, as appears In their Weekly reports.’” STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE. TUESDAY, April 11-2 p. m. Bid. Ask.
