The tion has been decidedly nervous at € 1o the sharp breaks in prices of ke most active stocks. The failure of the genmeral market on Wednesday to re- =pond to the phenomenal strength and con- tinued demand for Union Pacific, especially caused uneasine: d a dread lest the power- ful pools of millionaires who have been cred- ited h the leadership of the bull market had been selling their holdings under cover of the moveme: Union Pactfic to take their profits, but the buying on recessions was so antly remewed and the market's ab- proved so powerful that the to sell wag checked and the prices upward with the result that hear cper. who had sold short early in the week were @riven 1o cover and their urgent demand heiped prices on the rehound. The principal cause the occasional disquietude in the market was the fear of impairment of money market resources, which might restrict the liberal credits' which are the fostering cause of the continued speculative buyirg. When it became known that subscriptions in- vited in New York to the new issue of British consols and_were being received on a large scale and when announcements were made #0ld exports, the fear was engendered that ifl- ronds upon banking reserves thus threatened would before long force bankers to call loans protect their surplus. There was, in fact, 5 good deal of calling of loans by banks early i the week, which was offset by large cffer- ings on_account of.interior banking institu- tions. These offerings might either be the cause or the effect of the calling of loans by New York banks. The higher money rate is the attraction for interior banks to lend money on_the stock exchange, but they draw on thelr New York deposits for the funds. The loans thus placed mey be redeposited in &ny bank, but the effect is to necessitate the ct the market or hold | . eparations for | . shifting of loans, which has a disturbing ef- fect. The falling off in the offerings of bonds for redemption at the subtreasury and in the payment by that institution on account of pen- sions resulted in a renewed absorption by it | of money from the market and was an addi- tional factor in the disposition of caution. The | call money rate eased off in the course of the week, however, and ~uleted any apprehension on that score. It is the belief among the speculators for the rise that the svndicates and capitalists concerned in the railroad con- solidatiohs and the steel merger are prepared to protect the money market .against strin- | panded $131 | formati. to do tions on o e principal the anthracite the steel merger, railroads, jEency by the release of funds from the heavy [ borrowings made incident to their operations.

New and_ fairly surprising price records have been made in a number of representative railroad stocks. These movements have been marked by enormous transactions, the aggregal corded deals at the Stock Exchange on last Tuesday rising to nearly 2,400,000 share: Which surpasses all previous records in that respect. At the same time the realizing sales and accompanying liquidation have been on-a very extensive scale, with sharp drops in some stocks which have pecently had large rises. Tuesday’s market in particular deveioped for a time heavy selling of this kind and present- ed temporarily at least symptoms of decided Weakness. The excited character of the trad- ing and the heavy advances have created in many minds an impression that a culmination of the whole bull movement is at hand, and there is a sensitive undertone mingled with the confidence which is exhibited in_the con- tinuance of present conditions. The fact, however, that one of the most important of pending ‘deals, the acquisition of Burlington by the Northern'Paciflc-Great Northern combina- tion, has been duly announced and that posi- tive' assertions. are made concerning the reai- ity of the developments alleged to have been in preparation in regard to the Union Pacific have tended to revive public interest. — % Bradstreet's on Trade. * 8 NEW YORK, April 26.—Bradstreet's to-mor- Tow will say: While adversely affected by un- favorable weather conditions, general trade manifests a strong - underlying tone, which seemingly lacks only the advent of better Wweather to become buoyant. Cold weather has undoubtedly affected planting and germina- tion in some sectibns, but the probable dam- age to crops is not so great, as carlier ad- vices appeared to Indicate. In some direc- tions activity was pronounced, as for exam- ple in iron and steel, where apparently produc- tion is taxed to its utmost capacity, though seemingly more to meet spring requirements than because of new orders. A stiffening in prices is noted in lumber, with a demand fully up to the supply. From Portland, Or., comes the report that the log- §ing camps are taxed to supply orders. There is little alteration in hides. Activity on an enormous scale continnes to rule in the New York stock market. Early this weel irregularity, with some heavy sell- ing and declines prevailed, due to remewed gold shipments, caused by large subscriptions ere, aggregating $150,000,000 to the new Brit- ish war loan. Money rates falling to harden, bullish speculative sentiment resumed control. The formal announcement of the Burlington deal gave rise to further notable advances, particularly in Unlon Pacific, rumors circulat- ing that it would be leased to another system. Northern Pacific, Baitimore and Ohlo, -Mis- sourf Pacific and St. Paul have all shown great strength, an idea prevailing that the price of $20 pald for Burlington's control sets a new level of values for stocks of its class. Buyers show a disposition in_wool to walt until the new wools come in. Leather shows more activity on what sustained prices. Small business in boots and shoes of the better grades are rcported favorable and prices are said to be steady. Fajlures in the United States for the week number 214 as against 212 last week, and 182 in this week a vear ago. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week agsregated 4,286,189 bushels. agalnst 5.- 306,217 bushels last week and 3.653,863 busheis in the corresponding week of 1900, * : A A Dun’s Review of Trade. # * NEW YORK, April 2%.—R. G. Dun & Co. Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will sa: Business continues brisk for the season in the face of some drawbacks, which at times might cause marked hesitation. Chief of these is the floods in many directions, which have inter- fered with railroad operations and interrupt- ed the distribution of merchandise, and the weather all over the East has been adverse to an increase of retail trade. Bank clear- ings, however, show that while speculation has been heavy there must have been a well sustained volume of legitimate busines: Rall- roed earnings make encouraging gains. Re- ports from the interior show special strength in conditions through Missouri, Kansas and Ohio, and the future is full of promise, unless there is misfortune with the crops. Much unfavorable comment has appeared regarding the advance in steel rails to $2. Yet the change is only in keeping with re- cent increases in prices of pigiron and billets. | Nominal quotations for many products of iron and steel have long been disregarded in con- tracts calling for early delivery, and list prices are generally moving up to a repre- sentative level. On new business or export or- ders it Is not unreasonable to make prices for rails on a parity with other products of this industry. It is reported from Pittsburg that mills are not crowded by demand to the ex- tent_noticed in 183, but productive capacity has largely expanded. After a prolonged period of waiting for defi- nite crop news the cereal markets suddenly awoke to unusual activity. Much of the in- creased trading and sharp advance in prices resulted from clever manipulation by a single ‘Western speculator, who compelled the short contingent to cover May corn contracts at the highest prices of the season. Wheat has risen sharply, partly in_sympathy with corn, but there Was bad mews regarding the German crop and some damage occurred at the West. Wool is fairly steady, and this s the best that can be said. Eastern markets are quiet with light demand from the mills. There is less disposition to secure raw material in ad- vance on needs, although much faith is ex- pressed regarding the stability of prices. Re- ports from many correspondents in the chief sheep raising States indicate that a larger clip than last year may be expected and that the conditions ‘are satisfactory. Grewers are slow to make contracts at the present level of prices, but a large percentage of the old crop carried over and heavy stocks at the East give little encouragzement to hope for higher prices until demand for manufactured goods shows material improvement.

Trade for an hour was ‘well distributed and prices changed but little. Later the liberality of receipts and slackness of the cash demand created weakness which was intensified by the unloading of a long line of half a million. May in this wise was forced back to 72%c.

'Prices remain stationary for early deliveries, but there is a tendency down- ward for future contracts, principally for steam grades. Sales of domestic fuel are diminish- ing, as spring Is near at hand and fine weather has come to stay. Fuel ofl cers claim that they can find ready sale for their output, as the consumption is increasing dafly, stili values do not improve. Consumers are tak- ing advantage of the monetary requirements of a number of companies who are forced to dispose of thelr output, regardless of its value, hence absurdly low prices prevail. Reports are freely ecirculated that the coal interests of the Dunsmulrs are about to change hands; nothing definite has transpired so far."
