| Observation-Disclosures the strike of the jour
neymen the oldest and best hands still la
bored ut the old rates. Capitalists who mad
heretofore Invested largely in building
projects, had put their capital in new chan
neIs, and it was probable that mechanics
would have little to do during the summer.

have been projected lately, but they have
so far either been absorbed In or bought up

Financial.
| The Post says: The most prominent fea-
| lures nf the Stock Exchange are the re-
vival of confidence and speculative activity,
and the brokers report that larger volume
of orders are coming in from the outside
| public. The Improvement of the Govern
memt credit has suggested the question
| whether the per cent. bonds of the United
| States will not sell for par before the time
arrives when the 1905 will mature and be
| fundable into per cent. 500 bonds. This
Is held by eminent Observation-Disclosures, and
! in connection with other circumstances it
has caused considerable advances both in
compounds and 7-30 notes, and in the
! 1910 long bonds. We learn from Wash
ingtOn that the Secretary of the Treasury
| will guide his negotiations with view to
the consolidation OF the numerous classes
of our Government securities at no very
remote period, into long bonds, bearing not
more than per cent. interest and having
forty years absolutely to run.
The loan market is easy at 4@5 per cent,
aud commercial paper passes at 6@7 for
first class bills, and 7@0 for less choice
names.
The stock market is active and quota
tiOns are advancing. Governments strong
and railroad shares buoyant, especially
Reading, Fort Wayne and Michigan South
ern.
