With the replenishment of available | Tesources to-day. the speculation was revived | in an unbridied manner. There were few spe- | cide influences to be detected in the trading. The completion of the Burlington \eal of | courte had a notable influence on sentiment, although Burlington, Great Northern and Northern Pacific heid a comparatively incon- &picuous place in the trading. But the air | wes thick with rumors of measures to be | taken by rival railroad systems to offset the Burlington @eal. The movement in Union Pacific and in the Atchisons was distinctly traceable to this influence, aided by rupple- mentary rumors of coming dividend incre: The British export duty on coal was a fi " the buovant ulift of the seaboard bitu- | us coal carriers, as it aroused hopes of a growth in our export trade in coal.

The ex- press stocks moved upward in company on the belier loser assoclation was in view as the = of yesterday election as directors of the United States Express of officlals the other companies. Belief in a merger Southwestern railroads was a_potent factor in that section of the market. The buoyancy of Amalzamated Copper was _accounted for Ly rumors of further absorptions %y that com- pany. Hope of dividend increases was a wide reaching factor. The smelting stocks were strong on this expectation. In a large number of stocks there was mot even an attempt to sssign @ motive for the large buying, which was palpably based on the all-embracing ex- of of pectation that the price of the stock would go | up because others had done_so. cont: 1o the general movement of the mar- ket was the heaviness of the United States Steel stocks, the preferred falling at one time nearly & point below last night. partly accounted for by the circulation by the bears of a rumor that J. P. Morgan was suf- ferif_ from heart trouble, but the stocks did not Tecover with the aufhoritative statement that Mr. Morgan was in good health. This rumor helped to account also for the midday dip in the market, which was effectually over- come. The strength of the market was so gen- eral that it is only worth while to speclfy a few of the more important met gains.

Leadville Con ol London Market. NEW YORK. April 15.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The budget has been well received by the pub- lic generally. The coal interests are furious and the sugar people are somewhat sore and indignant, but the markets were unconcerned and the public does not seem to care much. Indirect taxation did not affect the stock trad- ing except in consols, which dipped to 943 in anticipation of the new loan, but they quickly rallied to % on heavy bidding by big houses | for the new issues, running it up to % prem- fum: this although the only conjecture heard is that the pyice of the issue WIll be 94%. Business on the Stock kExchange was, generally speaking, on a moderate scale. The American Gepartment was the feature of the day and an astonishing feature it was. The dealings were on the largest scale that we have had here for a long time. There was furious bid- ding from start to finish, with prices rising steadily, except where they went up by leaps. It may be described as the first day of the London boom in American stocks. The public here seem suddenly to have got tired of sitting on the fence and they have jumped down and gone in_at last. The special favorites were Union Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul, the Atchison issues (on the hope of a & per cent dividend on the common) and Mis- sourl and Kansas Pacifics (on the Tts of the Gould deal in the Southwestern rallways). But the purchases were wiid and 1 throughout the session and everything dealt in here was taken. JINANCIAL Pacific preferred, 88; Northern Pacific preterred, 1003;; Grand Trunk, §%; Anaconda, 10%.

Sales of Bessemer pig at Pittsburg have aggregated a large total, some of which is for July delivery. Special activity in bars is noted at Chicago and sales of this and similar material are nearly 200,000 tons for the week. One implement manu- | facturer Is reported to have alone taken 50,000 tons. Ralls ore also active and the week's business is figured at fully 100,000 tons. Wire rods are §3 to $ per ton higher at Pittsburg, the latter price being for prompt Celivery. The other metals show little change on the week. Wool has been dull but steady. Large buyers are out of the market, but smaller manufac- turers are buying some. Territory wools are in chief request, but rather more has been done in Austgalian wools at Boston.

G. Dun & Co.’ ‘Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Favorable crop reports, heavy bani clearings, record-breaking railroad earnings, a large dis- tribution of spring and summer goods and easy collections give the business situation an en- couraging aspect. Wall street speculation does not yet discount any approaching reaction in commercial lines, and the money market seems fo have turned the corner, at least for the present. Cotton and woolen goods retain their gain of last week, though partly on account of the idleness of many mills. The wool mar- ket is steady, notwithstanding the absence of demand from' large producers of goods. Aside from the uneasiness caused by labor ‘controversies, no setback has appeared in the leading industry. Conditions of supply and demand are similar to those existing for the past few months; in some lines purchasers are increasingly importunate, while in others there is slightly less urgency for prompt shipment, but in all hn-m‘_%.u of lll:n and lfifi m:.fi“h!;c. ture requirements are in excess of a Te stocks. Recent evidence of large grain crops has brought agricultural implement makers the market fc or bars, and many have con- | An- other feature was the greater activity in struc- tural material for bridges and buildings, while the large tonnage of steel rails already placed did no(ggrevent further orders. The recent ad- vance in plate failed to diminish business. Faith in the future is evidenced by more plans for the erection of new mills with enormous capacity. Shipments of boots and shoes from the East declined’ to 86,547 cases, nst 94,433 cases two weeks ago, but there still appears a good margin above the movement a year ago. Con- tracts are unevenly distributed, many shops having orders for some time, while others are seeking business. The general situation Is more satisfactory than a year ago, however, for then not a third of the capacity was be- ing operated. Prices on shoes are maintained, but the reduction in boots has become general. I ders and some idle shops have resumed. The leather market has met with further reverses, especially in the light-weight division. A bet- ter quality of hides is offered at Chicago and quotations tend upward, although tanners are not buying freely. | The outlook for this year's crop of cotton has been ascertained by a careful canvass of the Southern States. Planting averages about two weeks later than usual, owing to heavy rains. While there isfreason to anticipate a large | acreage cancellation of many orders for fertil- izers shows that the sharp decline in cotton prices had the beneficial result of restricting operations to some extent. Planters have en- countered some difficulty in securing sufficient labor owing to the great demand in other industries, ard it is expected that the cost of planting and picking the current crop will be greater than usual on this account. Geor- gia mills are running full time, while in other Southern States there is much reductlon. Failures for the week numbered 206 in the United States, against 184 last year, and 21 in Canada, against 17 last year. New York Grain and Produce.

Argentine shipments, according to the Board of Trade cable, were much less than they were a year ago, but Liverpool ignored the figures and registered a decline. The cables, with the assistance of excellent weather and undimmed crop prospects, had the best of the argument at the st May opening %@%c to %@lc lower at 10%@70%c. A re- port that the English weakness was due to selling of wheat bought in anticipation of the imposition of an import tariff on breadstuffs gave the bulls some iope and they succeeded in working a rally to 10%@7lc during the first hour. During this periv there had been some outside interest in the market, but it was soon withdrawn and even the local trade be- came dull. Lacking support May gradually ‘worked back to 70%c. The corn strength caused some covering and May reacted to 70%c and closed soon after in a fairly steady condition, %c under yesterday at 70%@70%c. Corn_displayed considerable firmness, which seemed to be based chiefly on the aggressive attitude of the bull leader. Aside from his support little corn was wanted. May closed %c higher at 44%@44%c. Oats were dull. May closed a shade down at_25%@25%c. Provisions were fairly active. The market opened firm on light hog receipts and sym- pathy with higher prices at the stockyards.

PORTLAND, April 13.—There was an easfer tone to the wheat market to-day on account of improved crop conditions and lack of further crop damage reports. One or two sales were reported at interfor points on the basis of 38¢ to 58%c for Walla Walla. This is about 1 cent better than opening quotatlons in this city and can hardly be regarded as an accurate re- flection of this market.

WHEAT—Liverpool was dull and Paris lower. Chicago opened lower on the weaker cables and the demand was chiefly to fill shorts, The weakness at Liverpool was ascribed to the fact that an import tax was no longer threatened and this is expected to decrease the buying de- mand there. The lower cables also brought in a geod many selling orders. Minneapoli millers were out of the market and the eleva- tor people were only fair buyers.

Harrison's circular says: *‘During the week there have been three ar- rivals of coal from British Columbia, 8300 tons; three from Washington, 8338 tons; three from Oregon, 1270 tons; oné from Australia, 1425 tons; total, 19,834 tons. The arrivals continue Iight, still 'there is ample in stock to mest all immediate calls. Business generally is fair, principally for steam-grades, for which t! e is active demand. In my circular of Feb 234 ult, I referred to the probability of an export tax on coal by the British Government; this has been realized to-day, as cables are here stating that an export duty of one shilling per ton has been imposed. This will materially affect California shipments, 24 cents per ton added to the present asking prices for coal will put a quietus on exports here. Swan- sea is about the only port at present from which we derive any British coals, and we will_doubtless still receive an occasional ship- ment_from there. Every change lately gives the Northern collleries a stronger hold on this market, except fuel oil, which has come to v, and iIs drilling new recruits into its ser-. vice daily. This will eventually make the price schedule for coal, and the year 1602 will cause a revised . price list, where values will b lower than those now ruling here.
