A Good Business During the Week, With
Better Prices for Almost Everything-
Gains and Losses, but the Latter


The week was fairly good one in local stocks,

against 2s76 the previous week. The improve
ment in sentiment was as marked as in busi-
ness.
Closing prices yesterday, as compared with
those of the previous Saturday, show advances
in Manufacturers Gas. Pipeage. Philadelphia
Cas- Central and Citizens Traction and Luster.
The only properties on tho active list that
closed at loss were La Noria, Electric and
Airbrake, and these were fractional. The
greatest improvement was made by Citizens
Traction. 1t commenced the week at 5IH and
finished at 62L bid, with sales after call at 6S.
The highest pnint touched by Philadelphia Gas
was lS by Electric IA, and by Luster IL.
Electric was rather nervous all week, and
especially so yesterday, and it moved less freely
than had been expected. This hesitation on the
part of investors was partly due TO bull points

belief could not be learned. Perhaps it had
none. Certain it is there were no developments
here to strengthen confidence or inspire hope.
Eastern manipulators are up to all the tricks OF
the trade and their statements should be taken
cum grano sails. 1t is supposed that MIR. West

much felt there as in Pitrsburg.
New York was strong. The bank statement
proved unexpectedly favorable with an in
crease in the reserve Of over 600 0OO. and this
stimulated the general list. The later dealings
showed the effects of realizations, however,

HENRY CLEWS HOPEFUL.
A Bull Campaign Inaugurated-Whyt the
Outlook Is Favorable-A Higher Range
of Values All Round Predicted-The
Iron Trade as Business Barometer.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHt
NEW YORK, April 25.-Henry Clews, In his
financial review of the week, says; At last the
anticipated bull" campaign in the stock mar.
ket appears to have falrl. set in. For several
weeks past there has been more or less gen.
eral feeling that the prices of securities were
ranging below their intrinsic value, but various
circumstances have arisen one after another to
prevent that conviction from developing into a
concerted movement for rise. In spite of de.
pressing influences the market value of securi-
ties has been steadily maintained, and now that
the causes of depression have disappeared or
lost their influence the conclusion is very
general that the time has come
tor a legitimate ''bull' market There
is more, however, than the disappearance Of
untavorable conditions. N ew conditions of a
come into play. The country has the promise
of harvest OF more than ordinary abundance,
concurrently with poor crops in other coun-
tries which suggests the probability of large
export of cereals at high prices. This means
year of unusual prosperity for the agricul-
tural West and consequent large traffic for the
railroads. 1t is also becoming evident that
last years cotton crop has been estimated far
below Its actual extent, SO that very unusual
surulus may have to be carried over into the
next season, which implies prosperity at the
South also. An exceptionally good harvest
will mean the liquidation of farm mortgages,
the proceeds of Which may be expected to seek
employment in securities which find their
market IN Wall street. Already. these pros
poets are beginning to have their effect upon
the tone of trade at large. The merchandise
markets generally are doing a healthy and
steadily increasing business; and the iron trade
(the best barometer Of business) shows .

A Bear Raid Conducted to Successful Issue

loss Of 25sc in the price of wheat 21sc in corn,

usually bearish. The crop reports were rosy.
the receipts in the North west were heavy, En-

July wheat started at 81 0S5S sold to 81 0s15
up speedily to 81 O9A and then started down
gain. There were brief hats and moderate
reactions at 81 Os5s-the put price-af 81 0s,
at 81 OH, at 81 071l and at 81 o6X. From the
latter figure there was a rally to 81 OF, but this
was lost near the close, which was easy at
practically the lowest prices Of the day. Not
since last November have the bears made such
concentrated aud well-directed attack on the
market.
Corn was as weak as wheat The liquidation
by longs and selling by bears was too great for
the small buying demand to overcome. The
brilliant weather, the prospect Of large receipts
henceforth and the weakness in oats cut right
to the bone of the situation, and holders began
to stand from under. July started at 66Lc,
sold at $3.50, but was OF to 6414c before the
session ended, when prices were Nc higher.
The oats news was all favorable to bears,
who hammered the market throughout the
session. The governing Influences were the
weakness in other cereals, fine crop prospects
and diminished consumptive demand on ac-
count of the approach of the season for past
urage. The course OF the market was down.

brief periods when there were fitful rallies.
Provisions were comparatively dull. July

there was no heavy selling. The close shows
