NEW YORK, June 2.—A strong advance in prices of stocks on the day of the fallure of an important Stock Exchange house and on the day following a failure of a Clearing-house bank is an anomaly in Wall street. The action of the market was the more notable as com- ing on practically the last day available for the money preparations for the dividend and inter- est disbursements due on the first of the month, which is Monday next. Stock market borrowing made on Friday carries over until Monday. This anomaly in the movement of prices is un- doubtedly due in part to the fact that the bears wwere overconfident in thelr anticipations of the effect of these adverse factors. The early strength in the market was largely due to the technical explanation that the accounts cf the falling firm, which were closed out under the rule, were almost wholly on the short side of the ‘market. That is to say, stocks had to be | bought under the rule to close the contract, | thus creating a forced demand which kebt up prices. The firm’s accounts covered a fair as- sortment of about fifteen of the principal stocks and the total number of shares bought in for their account amounted to 21,300, together with $11.000. par value, of bonds. Apparently the only stock sold for their mccount was Gas and Eiectric Company of Bergen County. On Monday of this week it sold on the ex- chenge at 101%. The first sale to-day of 300 shares was at 30 cash. The next sale was at 32 cash and the stock subsequently sold at 46%. While the settiement of the firm's Stock Ex. change contracts was in progress other busi- ness was almost at a standstill. The expecta- tion among traders was that with the conclu- #ion of the settlement prices would sag off @gein, but after the sales under the rule had ceased to make their appearance on the tape the money rate began to yleld under large offer- ings of loanable funds. Equally significant of the relaxation in the money situation was the sharp recovery in sterling exchange and Ber- lin exchange from their downward course of yesterday. e covering movement In the last hour was most heavy during the day and resulted in establishing a final level of prices which is quite generally a point or more above last nizht. ous stocks in the advance The most consp were Atchison and St. Paul, which gained 2% eech. There were gains of two points or over by Loueville, Erie first preferred, Chicago, In- dianapolis and Louisville, Lackawanna, Denver end Rio Grande preferred and Ilinois Central, Among the specialties there were gains of 3% to 3% by Tennessee Coal, Colorado Fuel, North American, General Electric and American Lin- seed preferred. A more cheerful situation is reported in Burlinston and was a factor in the strength of the market. The bond market was dull, but prices ad- ;:‘:mmgwm sympathy with stocks.

NEW YORK, June vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock market to-day was still quiet, but there was an almost complete change in specu- lative sentiment—a reversal of the weakness and depression of the last few days. Various factors contributed to this changed feeling. Berlin ceased the selling that has been in since the recent bank failures. The the failure of the Seventh National regarded as pretty well dis- counted. The bear contingent ened to re- belief that e e e e e el ings al Y sen orders in Atchison and 'nion e V'l;nls Erie shares were heavily bought by a ronto speculator. The close was buoyant. The best market observers and authorities believe that a recovery is fairly started. As to the immediate outiook it is argued ‘that next month's dividends will accelerate the upward movement.

Renewed banking troubles to many | @id not seem to occasion much disquiet eith- er in Berlin or in London, though the latter market was somewhat heavy on the pessim- istic utterance of the British Prime Minister | about the Boer war and the fading hope of its early termination. Continued fair crop prospects, active business conditions and rall- road earnings which present increases even over the heavy large totals of a year ago, rendered our markets measurably insensible to anything adverse in the foreign financial situation, and Wall street was disposed to con- 1 | sider that when the July payments were com- pleted and the summer investment asserted its influence there would be a fresh series of rall- road and other deals, with dividend develop- ments concerning the large industrial and otaer corporations which would keep up and widen the bullish speculation. While no great activity was hoped for at the moment, the street was apparently dis- posed to regard the future of the market with confidence. The closing of the Seventh Na- tional Bank on Thursday by the Comptroller of the Currency, however, showed that its con- dition was worse than had been concluded, and call loan money rates rose to as high as 15 per cent, though most of the loans were at 6 per cent or a little above that figure, Large banking houses and institutions lent money freely, and there was no general calling of loans. The fact that nublic interest in: the market is relatively small and that stocks are to 2 large extent accumulating in strong hands had its due effect, and prices, though inclined to decline, did so in an orderly fashion. s ; % Bradstreet's on Trade. % NEW YORK, June 28.—Bradstreet’s to-mor- row will say: Trade, crop and industrial developments this ‘week hawe been largely favorable, temporarily, for more money, due to July interest disburse- ment preparations and slight financlal troubles, due to improper business methods, not de- tracting from the generally satisfactory and confident feeling with which the half year in business closes. High temperatures have aided the distribu- tion of seasonable goods at retall and stimu- lated reorder demands from wholesalers, al- though the volunme of business has been lim. ited by the fact that sellers are not disposed to commit themselves largely in view of the unsettled outlook for raw material prices. There is also a better tone in woolen goods, and this is reflected in firmer quotations for the finer grades of raw material. Boot and shoe shipments are well up to the maximum again, exceeding 100,000 cases from Eastern points for the week, while the margin in favor of this year's shipments continues to grow. Export demand for leather continues good and there is reported an active com- tition for goat skins between domestic and orelgn buyers. Iron and steel show few notably new features. The price of Bessemer pig has been definitely fixed for the third quarter of the year, and no doubt exists that a heavy busi ness has recently been done. Foundry pig 1s rather quiet, and, on the whole, is not strong. The machinists’ strike unquestionably hurt this line of businees, but this trouble ap- pears to be subsiding, and the settlement of the tin plate scale, an advance being conceded to its workingmen, leads to the expectation that other branches of the trade will have a like amiceble settiement with their employes. Advices from British markets are that Ameri- can steel billets are being offered at very low prices, which, in view of the “of bil- lets at home, may be taken to indicate that American manufacturers are In the export business to stay.

Dun & Com- pany’s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: It does not follow, because bad banking methods have cavsed one of the smaller New York banks to close its doors, with attendant circumstances, that created discussion in Wall street, that general business is in any way af- fected by, or at all responsible for, the trouble, The country is undenfably prosperous and with prospect of an abundant harvest to supply our own needs and increasing Huropean deficien- cles, the situation 1s ‘viewed with confidence. A few more labor disturbances have arisen, but others have been settled, notably the dispute over the tin plate scale, Some disagreements in the coal reglons at times assume a threatening aspect, but the troubles have been local and do not affect the mining industry, Reports from the country epcak of a continued active move- ment of merchandise with the jobbing trade and embracing nearly all lines. . The flscal year closes with conditions in the fron and coal industry in marked contrast to the situation at the corresponding date in 190C. Quotations were then receding rapidly with- out stimulating activity, idleness was the rule at furnaces and mills, and wage scales weie under serious discussion with ll'lphloz‘lrl‘ and labor o zations far t in _their views.

Con- struction proceeds at an unprecedented pace, that structural material, bullders’ hardware and kindred goods find ready purchasers. Rail- way facliitles are inadequate to hahdle expand- ing traffic and shops are crowded with orders for new freight cars and other equipments, Footwear forwardings from Boston have av- eraged over 100,000 cases weekly for two months, ralsing the total for the half year to 2,338,521 cases, according to weekly records of the Shoe and Leather Reporter. The largest previous . tatal for the corresponding months was in 1900 and fell 164,151 cases short of the current year. rts to Great Britain are a most satlsfactory factor in the present move- ment. Some of the Eastern shops are so well supplied with contracts that deliverles cannot promised before September. al manu- facturers are running on short time or closed for stock-taking. Stocks in dealers’ hands are light. which give the market a strong tone. Leather is active and firm, with hemlock sole in good demand. Upper leather is selling read- ily. Receipts of imported dry hides are light and prices well sustained. Wheat prospects are further improved throughout the entire producing reglon. More satisfactory to the producer than evidences of a banner yleld is the failure of quotations to show commensurate decline, for there is good profit at the present prices. In four weeks Atlantic exports, flour included, aggregated 13,663,000 bushels, against 10,480,076 bushels last year, and 8,934,638 bushels in 1599, while Pacific exports were 3,505,400 bushels, compared wigh 2,853,978 bushels’ in'1900, and 2,- 445,740 bushels two years ago. Gains are more conspicuous in the woolen goods division, because depression has lasted long and been severe. {s the raw material gradually sought a lower Jevel. mills restricted purchases In_anticipation of better terms ex- cept where orders for goods were secured. The clothing trade is now seeking men’s wear wool- ens and worsteds and buyers find stocks light. Values have not vet hardened, but there s lit- tle thought of lower prices, “either for goods or raw wool. In knit oods jobbers are taking stock. after which activity is expected.

Liverpool showed little change. Argentine shipments since Janu- ary 1 were reported at 26,035,000 bushels, against 52,185:000 during the same time last year. Chicago declined again under small transac- tions. Some shorts covered at the decline and the selling pressure seemed off for the moment. The weather throughout the West was gener- ally favorable. The seaboard reported a good cash demand. Offerings in the Southwest were less than expected, as the farmers are not satisfled with current prices. Kansas City wired that about one-third of a corn crop was expected in that region. In this market futures were again lower and spot prices were weaker.

The quantity received this ‘week is equal to our average consumption, hence tke amount in yard, at present mot very large, is not being disturbed. The quantity of foreign coal due here the coming month (July) is about 15,000 tons, less than four days’ actual consumption; thus it can be clearly seen that fully $0 per cent of the coal at present con- sumed by us must be drawn frgm the coast collieries. Singular to say that with about equal to 1,000,000 tons of coal displaced by the introduction of fuel oil this year, we are yet consuming almost equal to the amount of coal imported up to date last year. Coal freights from Australia and England are being some- what reduced, still- the high prices for coal that are being maintained at both of these sources will permit of only light shipments. Fuel ofl is being freely shipped; low prices still | prevail. Protective _associations are being | formed for the improvement of fuel ofl values, | but so far with very limited success. Contracts for delivery for two and three years ahead are being freeiy made at prices which must cer- tainly leave a particularly small margin of profit to the producer. The present high out- Boing rates on grain should enable ship-owners to send vessels here with coal from foreign sources at very low rates of freight. The out- | look for the future is still lower rates will rule.”” OILS—California Castor Ofl, in cases, No, T5c; pure, $1 30; Linseed Ofl, in barrels: bosied $lc; raw, T9c; cases, 5c more; Lard Oil, N winter strained, barrels, S0c: cases, Sic: China Nut, 53@6dc per gallon; pure Neatsfoot Ofl, bar. rels, 6c: cases, T0c; Sperm, pure, 65¢; Whale Oll, natural white, 37%@42%c per gallon; Fish Ofl_in barrels, Jc; cases, dlc.
