NEW foRK, April os.-The general out
look Of trade may DO considered extremely
favorable. Tho grain market Is irregular
and somewhat unsettled, with quite break
in leading descriptions, in tho curly part
Of the week. The market closes weak in
all descriptions. III lard and pork no ina.
terial change in prices. Cotton very quiet,
with fluctuations within range Of very few
points, market closing firm. Wool stock
is getting pretty well reduced and desir.
ablc lots arc mostly exhausted. Petroleum
unsatisfactory; prices have been tending
downward and the sudden drop Of II con.
siderable amount has excited temporary
activity In the trade.
Freights dull. Arrivals OF butter light;
the market has not suffered any further
decline. The finest western creamery can
still be placed ut 3ec. Cheese very dull.
The lumber trade for April was not up 10
expectations, and ruled dull. In boots
and shoes IL reasonably good business Is
being done for the season. Manufacturers
are busy Oh old contracts, but duplicate
orders come in steadily; dealers buy some.
what continuously. The leather business
is fully up to the average; prices are well
maintained md stocks moderate. Hide

immediate wants; prices continue to nd.
