New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, May 3.—This afternoon’s set- beck in prices was the most violent which has occurred since the present bull speculation set { n. It was absolutely without cause in news | of anything that would do harm to intrinsic | vaiues of securities,” commerce and industry. | A flurry in the money rate coming on over- | extended speculative accounts indicates the whole situation in a nutshell. It is charac- teristic of a boom that it should continue un- abated to the very teeth of such a situation, with every preliminary warning, but pushing onward untii the actual event forci! checked | the advance. The danger has been obvious that the speculation was overrunning the bounds of reason and safety. The buying was admittedly without motive or information be- yond the hope and belief that there Jwould be enough future buyeis to lift prices to a higher plane and so offer profits. There were excepti leaders, in which there were plausible theories and reperts of buying to change control. But in these also the horde of speculators who | have tailed on precipitately to each movement of this kind for several weeks past was a wvery large element in the buying. Increasing trepidation has been felt among commission brokers and lenders of money who assume re- sponsibility for speculative buyers that many of this class were stretching their resources wunduly, dependent as they are on the main- tenance of the prices of securities to kcop their credit good As a consequence thcre has been increasing pressure from commission houses upon their customers to take their prafits and lighten their load. But the buy- ing demand has been constantly reinforced by neweomers and the inroads upon the market exténded. The preliminary figures of to-mor- row's bhnk statement made it clear that only @ weak showing can be hoped for from that statement, and the bankers began calling Joans to recuperate their poeition. “The call 10aD rate ran up to 7 per cent, and the speculators began to manifest acute dis- trese as they found themselves forced o look | ebout for mew accommodations. The extreme | sensitiveness of the situation was made mani- fest in the violence of the reaction by what really was 2 moderate hardening in the money rate.

In the words of the brokers, ‘‘Americans were first, the rest no- Indeed, in this department the trad- ing was nothing less than frantic from start to finish. The oscillation of prices was of the most violent character, heavy waves of profit-taking being succeeded by equal heavy buying movements. New York took a hand in making the mad secsaw swing, but in the sharp collapse ensued. During the day on the board Atchisons | spurted from §7% to 92%, finishing in the street at £3%. Baltimore and Ohio went from | 113% to 116%; Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul all day at about 130%, slumping in the street to 126. The market opinion here is that Eries, Readings and Southerns are the only railway stocks left to take in hand. Steel shares re- lapsed on profit-taking.

NEW YORK, May 3.—Bradstreet's Financial Review to-morrow will say: All records of activity have again been broken at the New York Stock Bxchange, the total transactions having been at the rate of nearly 3,000,000 shares per day all week, and on Tuesday the aggregate reached the limit of 2,400,000 shares. Remarkable advances have accompanied the intense activity and the pub- lic has been buying stocks in a way that is only seen at times of great speculative ex- citement.” That there is a great deal of mani- | pulation cannot be doubted, and to all appear- ances f{urther rallway deals of far reaching importance are in preparation. 1t is, how- eyt ko panlicia ol e ot sl Bh vancing figures whicl mainly responsi for the existing state of affairs. To some extent the demonstrations which have taken place this week would the idea that the culmination of the movement is to bear this out. At the same time the de- clines bad the appearance of constituting what Is termed a healthy reaction. Though it is customary for Wall street to argue that a Loom like the present one will not t, there seems In this case to be an absence.of posi- tively unfavorable factors, The street and the market certainly disregarded the gold ship- ments, which for this week amounted to $3,- 750,000, and which point to the probability of an’ unfavorable bank statement. Fully $30,- 000,000 of the new British consols have been awarded to this country, and a considerable amount of gold will undoubtedly be required. It may be noted that the London market is taking great interest in the boom here, and bas, in fact, shared in it to the extent of buy- ing considerable amounts of United States Steel stocks. [ el R ) B ) SHCA R Bradstreet’s on Trade. l RS N SRR A A LA S LS AT £ NEW YORK, May 3.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: The sanguine feeling as to trade and speculation finds reflection in the enormous activity and stock speculation, which has attracted much money from the usual commercil channels and expanded clearings to unheard of totals. ‘Warm, sunny weather is helping retail trade in the cities and is likewise affording the farmers favorable opportunity to complete crop planting. General business, the country over, must be classed as satisfactory. The iron and steel trades, though reporting some- what of a lull in the cruder forms, continue to furnish the best reports, while the textile industries return the least favorable accounts. Wool is qulet, mills buying only to fill im- mediate wants.' There {s more movement at the West and on the Pacific Coast, however. London prices are higher for finer merino grades and lower for cross-breds. The crop situation at present 1s quite encour- aging. Warm, sunny weather is helping corn and ‘cotton and wheat maintains a generally &ood_condition, notwithstanding reports of dam- age by insects in the Southwest. Grain plant- ing is almost finished in the Northwest, and liberal rains in Californa have helped the situation theere. Iron trade production naturally appears to be catching up with demands in the cruder forms. Bessemer pigiron is 25 cents lower this week and sales have been made of Southern Pi§ 50 cents below the asking price of some weeks ago, although _Birmingham reports schedules aflhered to.

G. Dun & Co’s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: The greatest activity ever seen in Wall strest diverts attention in a measure from progress in distributing and manufacturing operations. But while on every hand stock market interests are counseling caution and attempting to yrove that prices are really more than the condition of some of our rail- roads warrant, the fact remains that, without a_brilllant crop outlook and a great activity of general trade, Wall street could hold no such carnival. Labor difficulties are fewer and less threatening than for several years before in the first week of May and prices of merchandise hold well. Stabllity of prices and vigorous prosecution of work at milis indicate the wholeeome po- sition of the iron and steel market. Through- cut the entire range of products of this in- dustry the current demand for immediate de- livery exceeds all previous records, yet makers maintain a conservative position and prices are not pushed up to the danger point. It is in the finishing steel plants that there is the greatest urgency for shipments and full ca- pacity is assured for the next thres months. After July there is a prospect of respite. Judging by the light engagements of pigiron and following the unparaileled activity of the past six months, a season of comparative quiet would not be surprising nor unwelcome. There was a rush to get in orders for steel rails before the higher prices became effective, and the erection of new office buildings provides a great demand for structural material, which is also In considerable request on foreign con- tracts. Dullness is still reported in the textlles. A further reduction to 215-15 cents for standard print ecloths did not accelerate sales, as buyers appear confident that goods will soon be available at 2e. d There is no improvements in woolens and Coates Brothers' average of 100 quotations of wool on May 1 was 17.7lc, against 11.99c on April 1, and 22.76c a year ago. Small conces- sions are reported in a few grades of shoes. Western jobbers are ordering more freely and shipments from Eastern shops are larger than in the previous week or a vear ago. Leather is_quiet, .aside from activity in belting. Further advances were scored in the cereal market, Chicago epeculators being forced to cover May corn contracts at 5ic. Attractive prices brought more liheral receipts at interior cities and also stimulated operations on the farm. traders having forced the next erop options to what seems an unreasonable level, since there is evidence of g large yield, de- spite delayed planting through excessive mois- ture. ‘Wheat also attained a high point, advancing in sympathy with corn. According to corre- spondents of R. G. Dun & Co. there is reason to expect a heavy spring wheat crop this In the principal States a full acreage vear. bas been planted and the weather is_most favorable for germination. On the Pacific Coast and in other domestic spring wheat sec- tions, as well as in Manitoba, a larger area than usual is devoted to raising wheat this year. The marvelously healthy condition of Lusi- ness is best appreciated when it is discovered that the defaults last month were the small- est in ninety-one months, with the exception of May to August, 1899, inclusive. In manu- facturing lines there were but 163 failures, with a total indebtedness of §1997,694, against 178 last year for $4,514,603. As 1399 reported the smallest failures of anv year in two decades, last month’s good showing is made manifest by default in manufacturing concerns 377,975 smaller_than two years ago. Trading failures were 555, for $3,169,823, and banking defaults were $529,000. 2 New York Grain and Produce. NEW YORK, May 3.—FLOUR—Receipts, 13,- 390 barréls; exports, 11,640 barrels.

Chicago Grain Market. CHICAGO, May 8.—The wild course of prices for May corn had lttle to do with gen- eral market conditions. Its manipulated con- dition was more than ever apparent. The July delivery was comparatively as placid as a summer sea, but it was at least an index to corn values when all the product in sight is ot in the hands of one man. But the May op- tion was the center of attraction. Shorts were panic stricken and bid the market up mn tre- mendous léaps from Soc to Géc at the opening to ffc compared with yesterday’'s close at idic. Phillips, wWho controls the market, sold 00,000 bushels to shorts between G6c and 58c. Tail- ing longs, fearing that their leader was about o unload, dumped thefr lincs into the pit and the market broke to 5dc before it was realized that Fhillips was not vet prepared to loose his hold. He sold nothing under Gic, at least not openly, and the market reacted and closed her at oo%c. July opened strong and en- Jjoyed a general demand for a time, but liberal realizing caused a decline. Part of this' was recovered later in anticipation of wet weather ‘West. July closed a shade higher at 4i%c.

The above are the largest weekly deliveries we have had for some time, although there has been but one cargo from British Columbia. The coal shipments for last month were 30 per cent less than April of last year, showing conclustveiy that fuel oil is asserting itself very pro- nouncedly. Prices are well sustained for the moment, although a number of our heaviest coal consumers have been contracting for ofl as thelr future fuel. This conclusion has been ar- rived at after critical calculations, and to in- suve the receipt of their full requirements they have purchased all they may need for the next one or two years from responsible venders. Th selling price leaves a very meager margin for profit. after deducting pipe line charges and fransportation. In fact, as the business is now regulated the consumer occuples a much more preferable position than the well owner. Some radical modifications must be ina: or ofl prosvecting will markedly diminish, except in such localities where the product can reach a market by water, instead of by rail. The late Very seasonable ratnfall should improve outward grain freights, and tend to depress inward coal freights from Australian and English ports.
