March 2.—Bradstreet's Finan- clal Review to-morrow will'say: In spite of the continuance of favorable: factors bearing upon the position of the stock markets here and abroad speculation continues to be limited and dragging. The public here does not re- spond to the remarkable increase in earnings by purchasing stocks at the present level of rices, and in London, while the succession of ritisb victories In South Africa has caused an improvement in prices, it has faited to stimulate any decided influence upon the course of values. It has continued to be a profes- slonal market and the activity by commission Bouses, which shows the extent Yo which the been Intermittent and timid. . The most strik- ing incident of the week was the placing of the Third Avenue surface road In the hands of a receiver. This acticn, however, appeared to relieve the anxiety of (he street as to whether the troubles of that property might not have far-reaching effects in ocertain finan- clal quarters. The fate of the road had been indeed hanging over the market for W fort. courts had at last. taken it In charge resul in'n general rally. in prices Wednerday. - Thirg sold down again later In the week to stili lower fgures and all of the local New York stocks which possess franchises taxable under the new State law were influenced more or less untavorably by the fact that the assess ment of these franchises Is now In progress. The industrial stocks were for the most part heavy and seemed to be affected by liquida- tion of long holdings. This was In some quar- ters attributed to the possibility. of anti-trust legislation being considercd In Congress. There was also In some instances evidence of un- ioading by pools in these stocks. Sugar was & wenk und disturbing feature, the price of the xtock dropping on the unfavorable antici- pations about the next dividend. There was no luck of bearish activity on the part of the traders i1i these und other industri special stock elling pressure of that de- seription also extended to portions of the rail- Toad share list, notably Baltimo » and Oblo, At the tame time ralirond stocke showed u considerable undertone of strength and in some cases. notably the Atchison. which has been bought for foreign account. a moder- | ullish tendency was exhibited ) y b Bradstreet's on Trade. XEW YORK, March 2.—Bradstreet's morrow will say: “to- Stormy weather has re- tarded the development of spring trade, ‘at many markets interrupting telegraph and rail- way communication and naturally checking the movement of merchandise. In prices ag- gressive strength is still the feature of the cotton anid cotton goods market, while retalls remain steady.

NEW YORK, March 2.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will sa Besides the 81 commercial faiures for 39.831,- 048, which were reported to-day, thers were in February six banking fatlures for $62012L and receivers. were appointed for the United States Flour Milling Company With $25,000,000 of stock and $15,000,000 of bonds authorized at its organization April and for the Third Avenué Rallroad Company atter liens for sev- era! millions had been placed upun the prop- erty.. Unless separated irom such evemts com. mercial faliures .couid not be compared with benefit. The manufacturing failures for - 27,638 ‘were larger than in February of 156 or 1895, but more thau half the amount was in two classes, cne clothing and four large lumber failures making & per cent of the whole. The trading falures were larger than in February of last year only; but 20 per cent of these defaults were made 1n five fallures. In most branches the comparison with pre- vious years is - encouraging and an analysls brings vut in sirong light the remarkably low average of llabilities in the smaller fallures which constitute the great majorlty, indicating sound business conditions and unusually sat- lsfactory collections. The rise of cotton to §i4c, .the highest point since January, 18, has done much to stimulate business, drawing from Southern plantations and country towns more than double the quantity marketed last yea: distributing millions to producers, whose pur. chases of supplies are thus increased and swelling beyond all expectation the purchases for export. Heavy selling of cotton by people who had none, but felt certain that %c would mark the Iimit of the rise, had placed them quite at the mercy of holders: But the mar- Kets.both for goods and for cotton have been affected all over the world and the eountry will reap some benefit in a larger excess of merchandise exports over {mports. The market for goods has been pushed to risen_only while - the & 3 per cent since the year began, material has risen over 2> per cen i Sxcept across the ocean, -where everts in South “Africa caused nearly all business to be forgotten, changes in the stock market rank, next in financial interest to-the rise In cotton. It was a revelation of the appreciation in which: American- rallway stocks are held to see them strongly supported, with Third Ave- nue falling to about 50 and Flour Milling dis- missed to the hands of receivers. The small rise in wheat, though the price is quite low, sufficed to call from the farms such receipts, 4,105,661 bushels, against 3,158,437 last year, as to indicate that supplies are not nearly exhausteéd, Exports from Atlantic ports continue small .for the week, flour included, only 1,812,306 bushels, against 4,059,984 last year, and ih four weeks from both coasts exports have been 11,639,260, agalnst 14.823.373 bushels. Though exports ran behind last vear, which were ‘almost unequaled, they have aiready ex- ceeded in eight months those of the full years, and the exports of corn, In four weeks, 12, 635 bushels, against 12,051,053 last year, explai much of the difficulty, corn rising three- quarters of a_cent during the week, while wheat declined 1%c. The ‘fron and steel industry continues the | greatest weekly output ever known, even while men speak of it as waiting for more definite assurance about the future. Price of pig yielded a little, some sales of bessemer Raving been made at Pitisburg for 824 and anthracite No. 1 s quoted here at $23 50. Bil- lets have been sold at $33 at Pittsburg. For most finished products prices are stronger than a week ago, or as strong, bars and sheets being strengthened by large business while only plates appear weaker, 52 10 being quoted for sizes not the widest. Coke is scarce and | higher in spite of the largest output ever known and the wages of hands have been | raised 124 per cent to the highest ever paid. The decline in hides at Chicago confinues, having been over 2 per cent the past week and 9 per cent from the highest point in,De- cember. Leather has declined only 3 per cent from the highest point. Hoots and shoes have yielded very little and many dealers ended their Eastern trip without buying and intend to wait until April as they did last year, when they pald rather less than the price asked "in February. Yet.shipments on past orders have been in February 385,214 cases, about 50,000 more than in 1863 or any other ear. ¥ Failures for the week have been 222'n the United States, against 158 last vear, and 28 im Canada, against 47 last year. — New York Grain and Produce. _— % NEW YORK, March 2-—FLOUR—Recelpts, 15,442 bushels;. exports, 473l The market was moderately active and weak, being shaded a little on some grades.
