AT light continued warm; — EASTERN MARKETS. New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, May 8 —Stocks recovered from vesterday's weakness to-day, although there wes uncertainly manifest in the prevailing sentiment. A more cheerful feeling over the anthracite outlook is responsible for eonsider- able rebuying by short sellers of yesterday, who professed confidence last night that a trike could not be averted. The hesitation which developed in the market was due to & consid: e extent to the action taken by the mine workers' convention, which presents an entirely new phase of the situation. The ac- tive coalers reflected no misgiving after the announcement of the miners’ officers to arbi- trate, but they fell into comparative duliness. The high-priced coalers offered tbe anomaly of early weakness, while the Readings were advancing and a strong recovery after the de- mand for Readings had largely died out. The whcle market fell into duliness in the latter part of the day while waiting for the announce- ment of the reply of the anthracite operators 10 the offer of the miners. The result is that the day’s transactions are not much over half those of yesterday. Outside the Readings the principal activity was in St. Paul, Union Pa- cific, the Jocal tractions and Southern Railway, Union Pacific and St Paul were bought heav- ily for Western account, the attraction being attributed to crop conditions. The referee’s decision upholding the constitutionality of the New York franchise tax law induced some ac- tive liguidation of the stocks of New Yorik ublic utilities, but they were well supported nd rallied. The advance in Louisville and uthern Rallway met realizing. Reports of n apparent contest between the two interests for control of coal lands increased the dispo- sition to sell, Tilinols Central becoming strong in contrast to its weakness vesterday, while the other two stocks were advancing. There were evidences of strength among minor stocks which are supposed 1o be the subject of manip- ulation by speculative pools, although various rumors contiued 1o circulate of their pective absorption or merging. Tennessee Coal 10 Colorado Fuel were under pressure. st mamed, however, recovered to well above lest night. International Power fell § points L-low the last sale price, but fully recovered There was a sale of St. Lawrence and Adiron- dack at 52, compared with the preceding sale t 138% This sale was before the coliapse of the Webb-Meyer stocks.

Chicago was firmer at a fractional advance, Receipts were diminishing, and there was a good cash business, but the market was heavy and i need of better public support for a per- manent advance. The strength was largely sympathetic with the firmness in corn and oats. There were large withdrawals of wheat and corn from public elevators and the crowd was bearish apd short. A prominent South- western rallroad man estimated the Texas crop at from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 bushels. This market was higher on call, but qulet and unchanged on the spot.

Bickford’s circular gives the receipts at this port thug far this year at 83,102 bags, against 120,174 during the same time last year. The sales from first hands were 53,118 bags, against 76,963. The stock in first hands, May 1. was 43,311 bags, against 71,719 last year. The world's visible supply, May 1, was 11,382,903 bags, against 7,359,112, The circular say: ““Deliveries from first hands from April § to the present writing were nearly 18,000 bags, considerably above the requirements for act- ual consumption during this period, but dem- onstrating a healthy market even if a lower one, for meanwhile prices have sagged every- where. Receipts in Brazil govern the imme- diate situation and continue heavy, the world's visible showing a further increase during April of 135,000 bags. In this connection the mild crops, now coming to market, must be counted as factors, and for some weeks to come, but indications are that receipts from those quar- ters will end more sharply than usual. New York prices for Brazils are about %c per pound lower during the past thirty days. The decline here has fully corresponded on current grades while higher priced coffees have suffered more severely in many instances. ““To-day’s first hand stock consists of S467 bags Costa Rica, 401 Nicaragua, 11,03 Salva- dor, 25,774 Guatemala, 2563 Mexican and 2374 bags of other kinds: in all 50,762 bags.”” To-day’s first hand asking prices are: Costa Rica—14@15¢ for strictly prime to @13%c for prime washed; 10%@11%c for good washed; 11%@13¢ for good to prime washed peaberry; 10%@llc for good prime peaberry; 104 @llc for good to prime; 9@9%e for fair; 53%@7%e for common to ordi- nary.

The Pacific Selling Company has announced prices at §150 for tails and §$1 65 for flats, At these rates, however, mo business has as yet been reported, except that which was done some time ago, subject to opening prices. New York Jobbers ook upon these rates as too high. On the Sacramento the run is not nearly so large as last year at this time. Mail advices from London state that the market for salmon is steady, with the con- sumptive demand improving. ' From Liverpool it is reported that the good inquiry from the country still continues, and there is a large and steady demand.
