London Market. NEW YORK, May 17.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: To-day’s session of the Stock Exchange was without incident, with business too light even to test the tone of the market. The present account is expected to be the smallest on record, to-morrow being a holiday, the cen- tenary of the exchange, and aicer that comes Whitsuntide. One failure was an- nounced for £20,000. American shares were quiet but firm. What little*business there was was all buying. New York accepted London prices and there was hardly a ripple thereafter. Arbitraguers went home’ early. CLOSING.

The volume of transactions has fallen off sharply end only. became compara- | tively active when heavy liquidation was in | progress, as was the case on Tuesday. The public has become sold out and has little ap- petite for speculation and Wall street has been adjusting losses and the other complications which resulted from the severe and swift de- cline. There is buying of good stocks by in- vestors on what have seemed to be favorable terms, but these are outright purchases, and even the news which met the street on Wednes day—that a substantial settlement of differ- ences had been made between the parties to the Northern Pacific contest—failed to stimu- late public speculation. Professional manipulation, it is true, “was active in support of the prices after this be came known, but the outside buying was smal and on Thursday the total transaction at the Stock Exchange fell to below 1,000,000 shares, the first time that has occurred for a full day's business in quite a while. The street is again bullish in sentiment. *»— ' = Bradstreet’s on Trade. | | | i * ¥ NEW YORK, May 17.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Aside frum a quite perceptible increase of the spirit of unrest in labor cir- | cles there are few new changes to record in the general trade or industrial situation. Busi- ness at present the country over is of a season- able re-order character with wholesalers in dry goods, clothing and similar lines, but the vol. | ume of pusiness is fair for the season and collections are rapid likewise. The basic facts underlying the situation continue largely of a favorable character. Notable in this respeot is the crop situation, particularly for the cereals, which is in a high degree promising. The hackward spring and lack of rains in soms sections has militated against the growth of cotton, but improvement is noted even in this | respect. L) The industrials are active. Tron and.steel are strong, but quiet us regards new demand for the cruder forms, but the shed products have been heavily ordered and the mills have | sufficient business to keep them busy from one to three months, while a large additional | business is reported in sight. The demand of | machinists is regarded as a possibly disturb- ing feature, but it is claimed that ome-fourth of the men involved have already succoeded in their demands and the feeling is that this matter will be adjusted with less than earlier expected friction. The hardware. trades are reported exception- ally active and some varieties of goods, notably barbed wire, are scarce, Foreign trade continues largely to favor this country and the demand for wheat to replace possible smaller yields in European countries has swelled the volume of export trade, which might otherwise have fallen off from April a year ago because of smaller shipments of cot- ton and of manufactured goods. Despite the talk of rate-cutting and of expectations of a smaller movement of goods as the spring ad- vances railway earnings continue exceptionally favorable, some great systems reporting max- ‘| has not come up to expectations, while on the | local covering, | ing, 3%ec; centrifugal, % test, 4 9-32c; molasses | 53@36c; No. 1 flaxseed, §173; No. 1 Northwest- §810; imum weekly earnings. . Net returns also are of good volume and show that business is being done at a decided profit. Probably the best repbrts as to new demand come from the leather and allied trades, while the poorest, as heretofore, are received from the textile’ industries.

Wool is slow of sale at the East, but quite ac- tive at the West, where quotations are sald to_be relatively below those of the Bast. . Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 3,984,965 bushels, against 4.- 178,872 bushels last week, 5,175,422 bushels in the corresponding week of 1900, 2,212,206 bushels in 1599 and 4,064,832 bushels in 1898. From July 1 to date this season wheat exports were 185, 080,078 bushels, against 174,594,598 bushels last season and 206,694,856 bushels in 1898-99. Failures for the week number 192, as against 193 last week, 15 in this week a year ago, 168 in 1899, 211 in 1898 and 245 in 1897, Canadian failures for the wWeek number 24, against 26 last week, 24 this week a year ago, 18 in 1899 and 36 in 1895. -— % Duw’s Review of Trade. —_— % NEW YORK, May 17.—R. G. Dun & Co. ‘Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow Wil say: Crop reports continue in the main favorable, and an easy money market tends to encourage business enterprises which looked aghast at the collapse of stock speculation. The calmer tone in securities s welcomed in all directions. As against the favorable departments referred to there is but one adverse factor, and the labor iisturbances in several quarters are not considered likely to be a long drawback and Ppromise not to very generally affect the trades involved. Less urgency for early delivery of iron and steel products was reported at manu- facturing centers. With mills assured of ac- 4ivity beyond the middle of the year and some uncertainty regarding the labor organizations' attitude on the wage schedule, there is a dl position o let new engagements walt as long as possible. Unusual activity is seen in agri-+ cultural supplies and some noteworthy ship- ments were reported during the week, while makers of this class of machinery purchased freely of bar iron. Structural shapes are in such active domestic demand that little at- tention is glven to available foreign contract Coke production is still enormous, as.is nat- ural, with iron furnaces operating at the great- est weekly capacity ever recorded. Forwardings of boots and shoes. from Bos- ton for the last two weeks reach the excep- tional total of 207,307 cases, or 48 per cent more than in the corresponding weeks of 1900, and since January 1 shipments exceed last year by 12,147 cases, while the increase over all pre- vious years was much more. Both wheat and corn continue to sell at more than 10 cents a bushel above the price at this date last vear, and the fluctuations in specula- tive options are much wider. Contracts in May corn have been closed at phenomenal prices; owing to clever manipula- tion at Chicago, next crop's options are sus- tained beyond the prices warranted by encour- aging crop reports. More forelgn inquiry for corn increased Atlantic exports for the week to 2,458,081 bushels, against only 1,211,244 in the previous week, but the movement is still far below the figures of a year ago. Wheat goes out in greater volume than a icar aso. but our shipments are comparatively Failures for the week numbered 177 in thd United States, against 177 last year, and 19 in Canada, against 30 last vear. = # I New Yerk Grain and Produce. — NEW YORK, May 17.—FLOUR—Receipts, 9765 barrels; exports, 5848 barrels; steadler, but quiet.

The market seemed to have broken | away from its contemplation of the weather map and was in position to attach more im- portance to an advance at Liverpool. Trade Was on a moderate scale, the demand coming mostly from shorts, and during the remainder of the day prices were weil above yesterday's el. Following the opening the firmness was augumented by moderate primary receipts, heavy seaboard clearances, big local shipments and the expectation that the visible figures Monday would show an imposing decrease, July gradually. worked up to 72%c and al. though selling was freer at this price, it closed firm, Sc higher at TI%@7l%c. May Wheat was in demand for the Eastern account and also scored an advance. The bull interest in corn was moderately active in the wheat pit, ap- parently buying for investment. Continental crops were reported improved. In the corn pit Phillips and his party were the ruling factor, A continuation by Phillips of liquidation of May gave rise fo reports that he was nearly, if not entirely free, of the enormous load of corn which he had bought to put himself in control of that de- livery. His sales to-day approximated 1,000,000 bushels, and the price dropped from 5ic to 50c, and at the close was 4c under yesterday at 50tc. Meanwhile he was buying July corn on a heavy scale. July closed a shade lower at_4a¥e. Oats were dull and easier in sympathy with corn. July closed l4c lower at 283zc.

Horses now at yard. e are diminishing, as spring is approaching Tt is singular that the coal demand sustains ltsel? so well, when it is known that the deliveries here of fuel oil are so liberal, supplanting tully 25 per cent of coal consumption. It is very evident that the fuel being utilized this year— in the shape of coal and oil—is comsiderably larger than any preceding year up to date. Oil is a disturbing element in establishing fuel values, as at the present asking prices there certainly can be no profit to the producers. The principal aim of each company Is not what is the best available price, but who can sell the lowest. The quantity pumped does not justify this sacrifice, but I presyme it will continue until there-is some unanimity of ac- tion.” OILS—California Castor Ofl, in cases, No. T5c: pure, $1 30; Linseed ONl, in_ barrels, bovied.
