A leading authority in New York says: “General business continues in good condi- | tion. High wages are promoting active con- | sumption in all lines of manufactured goods; | and, as distributors throughout the country | appear to be carrying small stocks, the pros- pect is for a good spring trade. At the same time the rapidly increased cost of living is be- ginning to check consumption and may so0n €X- press itself gn more cautious buying in me' wholesale markets.

NEW YORK, April 8.—There was a notable speculative movement in the stock market to- day, which was universally attributed to the operations of an important - combination of wealthy Western men, who were important fac- tors in the comstituent companies going to make up the United States Steel Corporation before it wae organized. In the ordinary ac- ceptance of the term there was no news 1o e: :l:.ln the movement of stocks or the enormous ¥ing which caused it, but the fact was pat- ent that the buyers were possessed of practi- cally unlimited resources to transact business ©on such a scale and also that the faith in them was #0 strong that they were getting their money’s worth. While there was no actual mews accompanying the movement there was an akundance of rumors, which centered mgstly about Louisvilie and Nashville, which was again the leader of the market in point of ac- ity and sustained strength, The rumors reached the stage of an alieged formation of a community of interest project for the whole Southern field, which would supposedly take in the Southern Railway, Iilinols Central and pos- sibly minor competing systems. Thers Were minor explanations growing cut of the an- mounced poilcy on the part of the Louisville and Nashville 1o extend into new territory. which involved the absorption of connecting lines en- tering Chicago. None of these rumors could obtain any official countenance. There . wi some credence for a suggestion that the ma keting of the new stock just anncunced had in. volved the creation of a large snort interest in the market, for the relief of wnich new stock will not bé aveliable as a dclivery until the Zormalities of listing on the Stock Exchange have been complied with.

There are twelve cargoes of colonial due here withni the next sixty days, In all about 32,000 tons. The total tonnage already engaged for coal. will foot up about 93,000 tons (twenty- nine ships); some of these Wwill not reach their loading port (Newcastle) before July and Aug- ust. Coal freights are still quoted exceptionally low, with no perceptible evidence of any early improvement. = Importers are offering the lead- ing brands of Newcastle at very enticing fig- ures, still business Is mot brisk, as our coast producers have to meet the market, and have marked down thefr rates so as to find sale for their output. Fuél ofl still retains its su- premacy at prices which cannot leave much margin to the well owners unless they are very large producers and their property is suitabiy situated to export, besides its character estab- lishes Its value. ~As the summer season is near at hand the demand for domestic coals is becoming lighter, and the chances of introduc- ing colontal household grades will be slimmer. Our transports are the best customers at pres- ent for Australian fuel, as their engineers seem to prefer it to any other that Is offering, ard It is very doubtful if the department will ever convert their steamers into oil burners.” COFFEE—C.
