NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser’s London financial cablegram says There was & siight increase in business in the markets here to-day, notwithstanding the set- tlement, and the trade was firm, easing slightly finally in the absence of official war news. London bought Americans, particularly Nor- folk and Western, for an hour and then left them nexlected. The bank lost £200,000 gold to the Cape and received £500,000 from Russia and £23,000 bought in German coins and £10,000 in bars.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Bradstreet's Financial Review to-morrow. will say: Dullness and. the predominance of professional trading were again the most pronounced features of the speculative week. The conditions which pre- valled in Wall street, however, found their duplicate in the state of the London market, which, though rendered more cheerful by the news of British successes in the recent opera- tions in South Africa, seems, ltke our own, without immediate attractions for the public. Nearly all the developments of the week have been of a favorable character. Large increases the annual reports of several industrial and railroad incorporations have appeared, making in all cases a most excellent showing. The responses to such factors have, however, been limited, and though the street is somewhat impressed with the bellef that the expected passage of the currency and refunding bill at Washington will give a decided impetus to speculation there s an apparent hesitation to act upon this idea. Money, it would appear, tends to work a little firmer for the time being and this perhaps limits the activity of the bull pools and large Interests which favor that side of the speculative account. - The recent heavy increases in the volume of the New York bank loans and the reports of latge de- mands for financial accommodations on the part of mercantile interests in various parts of the country, pointing as they do to ex- tremely active trade conditions, may explain the preoccupation of the public and its temporary indifference to the stock market. There has appeared to be no evidence of bear- ish sentiment and manipulation of that kind has been confined to a few speclaities in which circumstances afforded opportunity for such maneuvering. At the same time the re- #ponse of the market to a succession of favor- able developments has been limited and hes. itating and the falling off in the volume of general transactions shows plainly that for the time being the market has been left to the traders and the latter, on the whole, are afraid to sell it short, ‘while they cannot dis- cern signs of the public interest and support that would Justify them in actively espousing the long side. dent manipulation of large interests in Third Avenue stock, Involving ap. parently on the one hand an effort to create a market for a I holding of the security and on the other possibility of attempts to depress the price of the stock for the ben. efit of purchasers, gave interest to its fluctua- tions. 'The favorable outlook for the coal in. dustry in both its anthracite and bituminous branches accounted for the strength of certain securities in elther group of the voal stocks. The street, moreover, was not to all appear- ances inclined to give much heed torepre- sentations that the trunk line rafirodds are unable to maintain recent advances in rates on grain and commodities or to take stock in the all possible of trunk line hos- tilitles. hand the continued On the other favorable devel concerning the condi- tion of ustries and the results t?. o .l..lloda ‘f.‘:‘:eé"‘?m them 4id nof - t ::%:c“t -muimu support to any tangible Bradstreet’s on Trade. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Bradstreet’s revi of. the state of trads will say: General dls- tributive trade is of fairly good volume al- though affected by weather conditions and holidays. Spring business is enlarging at many markets East and West, the presence of buy- ers being encouraged by special passenger rates. A eoftening of prices of speculatively dealt In staples is to be noted, but the re- actions are of narrow extent. Money is steady as a whole and no higher than a week ago. Bank clearings comparisons are rather less favorable, partly because of less pronounced speculative activity at this time last year. Gains in raflway earnings for the first two Weeks of February are of absolutely phe nomenal proportions, but it must be remem. bered that there iwere exceptionally severe weather conditions experienced last vear. In spite of this, however, it is to be said that east-bound tonnage is of unparallelled” volume, ‘while shipments of spring goods to the country are very large. That rall rates are being badly cut is confidently, asserted. The earn- ings of sixty roads for the second week of February aggregate 37,941,000, an Increase of 30.4 per cent over the same period & year ago. Business ad a whole continues on a large scale, encouraging allke to distributors and con- sumers. Forelgn demand for wheat remains small, American stocks are large, farmers are re- ported holdinz supplies back and crop dam- age scares are discounted by mild weather. The strength of corn has been a feature, for: eign demand being of good frapofllonl and this has furnished a supporting element in the wheat market. General complaint of the low grade of offerings comes from primary markets. High prices for flaxseed are ex- pected to encourage the planting of much land ordinarily devoted to spring wheat in the Northwest. There is a larger volume of business in pig iron at some markets, but less at others and prices of that product are quite steady. The floating of the new sheet combination has imparted strength to that branch of trade. Heavy engagements have relleved the pres- sure in that line somewhere. Structural fron continues active, indicating heavy buflding_operations the coming sprin and summer. Foreign iron markets retain all their old strength and lower ocean freight would, it is argued, bring about a great en- largement of our export trade. Copper 1s quieter, but steady in price and tin notes a further advance in sympathy with foreign speculation. Hardware Is improving in_distribution at the West. Business faflures for the week number 163, as compared with 199 a week ago, 120 In this week a vear ago and 183 in 1898, 268 in 1897 and 270 in 1895. The strength of staple values is a feature of Canadian trade. Toronto reports heavy buy- ing of spring and summer goods. Retailers will carry over some stocks of winter clothing. Industrial activity is very marked, Canadian factorles running to their fullest capacity. Fallures for the week number 28, as compared with 35 last week, 39 in this week a year ago, 45 in 1898, 50 in 1897 and 61 in 1896. Dun’s Review of Trade. — e NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review, of Trade to-morrow will say: | Prices in materials are yielding. If not the best news possible for some speculators it is the best that could come for the country eince industries could not long prosper without reaction from the extreme prices caused by actual or supposed scarcity of materials I year. Eome help comes from new iron fur- naces that have opened or approach comple- | tion, some from the famine in India which sends hither shiploads of hides, some from the much-increased stocks of sheep which have weathered the winter and some from the open- | ing of new fron, zinc and copper mines. The causes are many, but the revision of quota- tions gives promise of greater activity in all the chief Industries. The great iron industry has been embar- rassed by prices for pig and billets, which were no’ longer sustained by the gradually ylelding | prices of productsg Considerable transactions | 1 to $150 are now reported at Philadeiph per ton below recent quotations; at Pittsburg 20,000 tons bessemer have been sold and 75,000 tons billets, both iron and steel being re- ported $1 per ton lower. The new furnaces supplying foundry fron have been competing | sharply at the East and small sales of besse- mer have been made for Pittsbury delivery at 50c to 65c below previous quotations. Sheets are strengthened there by the new combina- tions, though it does not embrace some large ‘works, but with this addition of 500,000 tons yearly and its sales to the hoop and tin plate companies the National Steel has secured large and rich mines in Minnesota. Plates are still weak as most consumers are provided far ahead. but the Pacific orders cover 2000 tons and the Chicago and Northwestern has placed orders to the East for 5600 tons bridge work. Rail mills are full, but have taken a small contract for export and better business enables tin plate works which have been idle to re- sume. Cheaper hides and leather enable boot and shoemakers to take contracts for split goods at 2%c less than prices recently asked and some large sales have resulted, giving part of the shops work for some time. Others are getting very few orders and some are stopping or expecting to stop in two weeks. The yleld- ing In split leather began early this month and in hemlock sole a Week earlier and has reached lc per pound, backs and kip and glove grain upper leather are cheaper. Hides at Chicago have again yielded, making 3 per cent fall in a month and 7.3 per cent since December 30. Supplies accumulate and on wharves at Jersey City 250,000 hides were landed from India. Ship- ments of boots and shoes from the East have been In three weeks 28,193 cases, against 43,719 in 1898, the largest previous year. At last it is admitted wool quotations so long held are fully 3c per scoured pound higher than prices in large actual sales last week and since, the decline covering grades between one-quarter blood and lower, which Is in de- mand and scarce and fine fleece graded XX or over. The explalations are many. The fact is that when mills made enormous sales of heavy welght goods and then bought no wool the fable that their stocks were exhausted ceased to have force. In fine medium territory selling at §c scoured and other wool down to the low_grades the fall is general and English markets are also weaker. Goods of fine grades have been opened with much less advance in price than was made in cheaper grades, but cancellations continue numerou Failures in three weeks have been $7.241,230, against $7,120,780 last year and $7,293,439 In 189, but In the previous years they exceeded $10,600,000. Manufacturing wers _$2,856,536, inst $3,043,864 last vear, and trading were 822,930, against $3,237,472 last year. Faiflures for the week have been in the United States 201, against 191 last year, and 33 in Canada, against 40 last year. — % lNew York Grain and Produce.

Other bearish news was merely subsidiary to it. The shipments from Argentine, 2,320,000, were exceeded only twice last year and have not been exceeded often in the history of the commerce of that country. In consequence May wheat opened %c under ‘Wednesday at 67%@67%c. The price touched 67@67%c and later 67%c. Between quotations it fluctuated for two hours. Then the descent began. Under pressure of forelgn selling and bull liquidation, with scarcely any outside de- mand, the price’of May wheat was forced stead- ily down to 66%c, at which the market for that option closed, lamentably weak, and 1%G1%c under Wednesday. Corn was inclined toward firmness, but fin- ally succumbed to the wheat weakness. Trade generally was qulet. Country offerings were fair, but the shipping demand was poor. May closed %@%c down at 34%@34%c. e trade in oats was smail and influenced most of the time by corn. In view of the weak- ness about it the market was remarkably steady. May closed a shade depressed at Z3%c. Provisions were dull. The market early was easy with wheat, later firm with the corn bulge, but again weak with wheat. A firm hog market had a steadying effect. May pork closed 10 12%c under Wednesday, May lard 2%c down ana May ribs Tige lower. The leading future nged as follows: | Articles— pen. High. Low.
