Wall Street Still BuIIish but Business
Fails to Respond-A Featureless
Day, With Fractional De.

clines in the Majority.
NEW YORK, April 22-The stock market TO-
day was less active and weaker. The dealings
extended to a smaller number of stocks, and
altogether the market had less go in it than for
the past few days, with the exception of the de-
partment where the increase in commission
charges seems to haye failed of the expected
effect
The general temper Of the street is still bull
ish, but to-day there were two selling move
ments, one at the opening with realizing of
profits on the late advances, and later in the
day when aided by the manipulation of money
to per cent the bears made drive at values
and considerable reaction was brought about.
Many brokers continue to discriminate aga inst
the stocks of the cutting roads, the feeling be-
ing general that the bears may at any time
make an attack upon those stocks and sell
them down several points on account of the
heavy losses they must suffer by continuing the
war.
Sugar Refneries continued its remarkable
rise during the forenoon, to-day being the tenth
successive day upon which it has moved up
ward and the extent of the improvement has
reached about 10 per cent. Reaction came
late IN the day, but it was sharp and sudden,
and the decline from its highest point was 2T
per cent while after rally it finally closed az
only shade better than the lowest figure The
other trusts were active, lead being strong on
some favorable news regarding the company's
plans and rumors of new and influential men
in the board,
In the regular list there was little feature
outside of specialties. Chicago Gas again
gave evidence of realizatIons but after hours
it was quiet and held fairly steady
at better than the lowest. There was
foreign buying of Louisville and Nashville.
Erie and others, but not of sufficient magni-
tude to cause any change in the general course
of prices. Richmond and West Point pre-
ferred was strong at one time. moving up near.

Experience in the South.

The experience Of Mr.. R. D. Whitley, an
influential and prominent citizen of Martin

interest by people in all parts of the

violent attacks OF infammatory rheumatism;
on the first of February he had an attack
which settled in one of his knees, and caused
almost unbearable pain for two days. He

Big Clenrings Proof of nm Active Trade
Movement-The Railroad Trouble.
The Clearing House did a land office business
yesterday. Every bank came in heavy, indi-
eating not only prosperous condition of trade,
but wide distribution of paper. Very little
was said about the railroad trouble. The few
who discussed it thought it would be settled
without aStie-up, but even in the event OF this
happening Pittsburg was in good shape to
stand SIEGE The exchanges were s. III, ,55S 96
and the balances S454 444 q. Money was plenty
and in fair demand at the regular rates.

easy, ranging from 3G9 per cent last loan 8,

BETTER PRICES,
Local Securities Strong All Along the Line
No Bad Features.

So far as business was concerned the stock
market yesterday was devoid Of interest but
there was a decidedly bullish feeling on the
floor, and nearly all the specialties were
stronger. Sales were ITO shares
On the strength of the good news from the
mine, noted yesterday. Luster sold up to Is,
with light offerings, and closed steady at that
figure bid. Pleasant Valley sold at 273s and
closed at 271k bid. Two shares Of Philadelphia
Gas changed hands at Sl11 but it closed at 311ss &
bid. Electric and the fractions were strong
and higher. There was sale of Grocers' Sup
ply Company at l0S and it closed at that price,
1t was reported that Mr.. G. L. Magee had
raked in big block of Citizens Traction stock
this being in addition to heavy purchases of the
same last week. There is nothing unlikely in
the story.

A Liberty street produce commission mer-
chant, who will receive carload of oranges
direct from Riverside, Cal, within a day or
two, reports that new freight rates in the far
West are very favorable to Pittsburg's Pa
cifc coast trade, Freights on fruits are now
the same to all points east of the Mississippi,
so that our merchants here are no longer de-
pendent on Chicago and St Louis, as in former
years. The new tariff bill which places duty

ida fruit at the expense of that from the Med.
iterranean. Direct shipments from the Pacihc
cosst to all Eastern trade centers is one of the
new features of trade, the first effects OF wnlcn
Plttsburg has lately experienced, and this ol-
rect trade with California will no doubt assume
larger and larger proportions IN the future.
Hides and Calfskins.
No. / hides are very scarce in our markets.
Fully rs per cent of those offered are gtubby.
which puts them into the No. 2 class. A lead
ing dealer said to-day: Il look to see grubs
running out earlier than usual this season, on
account of warm weather and the open
winter In my opinion cattle will lose their
long hair a mouth earlier than the average
time for this reason. This will be an advantage
to tanners, since they are not only ao4e 70 nahe
a larger percentage of leather from the short
haired hides than the long, but also leather OF
smoother grain"
Calfskins are very plenty, but In spite OF
large receipts are moving freely at old prices.
While prices are no greater than year ago, at
that time they were drug on the market, and
now they are taken as fast as they appear.
The volume of trade both in hides and calf
skins is much larger than it was at this time
year ago. For the first quarter OF l6SO the
quantity handled by our dealers exceeded any
previous season.
