has been growing tendency to weakness
in prices in consequence OF the slack de-
mand. The light stocks in first hands have
prevented any serious decline, but acca.
sional concessions have been made to in.
tluence sales, and 1t is generally admitted
that lower prices would have to be accepted
in order to induce buyers to take hold in
advance OF actual need. Manufacturers are
very Indifferent. Their products, as rule,
ere selling low,and profit margins are very
small. A good many OF the mills
were stocked up by liberal pur.
chases during the excitement in the
wool markets late in February, and as the
course Of the goods trade since that time
has not been as satisfactory as expected
and no advance has been Obtained to offset
the increased cost OF the raw staple, there
is not much In thepresent condition OF the
markets, either for wool or woolens, to en-

There Is general complaint Of depression
in all branches Of the yarn trade, except
worsteds, which have thus far been kept
well sold up. The carpet mills are getting
few orders. A good deal Of foreign wool
lias been received, and it is expected that
additional orders will DO filed at the ap.

$4,000 bales.

No improvement has yet been recorded
in the iron market. Pig is dull. Buyers
are reluctant to purchase, and dealers in
some instances have made slight conces.
sions, though thus far without material
change in sales. The arrivals Of Scotch
pig have been about 600 tons, and the sales
about 500 tons. Prices have not changed
as they have not also with respect to Ame-
rican pig iron. Manufactured is dull. There
is some little improvement in bar in some
quarters, but at mill prices are firm, mill
owners preferring TO stock 10 making
concessions. There have been some in
quiries for Bessemer pig. Steel rails
are dull at former quotations. Ordinary
weights are held out for SSS for future de.
livery at the mill. Nearby delivery for
different weights command from $50 to $40.
The continued dullness Of trade has been
made, with the tariff changes, the basis OF
arrangement between the western mill
iron owners for reduced scale OF wages
for mill employees, to take effect June lst.
The latter will meet to-day to arrange
their own views as to what wages should be
paid. There is talk OF strike from the

on Record.
A special dispatch from Gowanda, New
York, says: The death and burial of f.
Il. Stebbins, for twenty years editor of the
Cuba Patriot, caused a sensation in West
ern New York, and will go down as one of
the most curious affairs of the age. Steb-
bins was what might be pronounced an
lngersollite. For years he has been diving
of consumption, and for months he brood
ed over his approaching dissolution. He
was impressed by The refusal of Charles
X, Ihorne, Dr., the actor, to have any
religious services held over his body. and
prior to his death he eXacted from his
family the promise that no minister of
whatever denomination should be allowed
to hold religious service. He was a
member of Lodge No. 553, knights of
Honor, and asked that she ceremony
should be conducted by the lodge. lie
desired the knights, in following his body
to the grave, to sing "Marching Through
Georgia." repeating the song when the
earth fell upon his coffin. On leaving the
cemetery they were to sing sGGOod-Bve.
My Lover, kBOod1pye." Stebbins died
last Friday, the funeral taking
place here yesterday, Twenty-eight
knights in full regalia attended the
funeral. They sang she songs requested,
both in going and coming, and created q
sensation in the quiet town, the citizens
of which did not understand how such
songs could be tolerated at a funeral.
The mouTners did not seem toamind the
strangeness of the obsequies. The scene
at the grave, when the earth clattered on
the box and the Knights started up the
old war-song, was impressive. AS the
