Review of the Market.
Henry Clews' Weekly Financial Review"
issued today, says:
Affairs in Wall street show no marked changes
from the conditions noted in our
advices Of last week. Comparatively
little 'long" stock has come on the market.
snd the ''bears" have found that. though prices
yielded under their attacks. they quickly re-
covered Upon their attempts to cover their
sales. Among holders there is a firm under
tone, but no disposition to force an advance
under existing unsettled conditions
The weak point in the market continues to
be the gold movement. about which there
is still much uneasiness. The thing
especially feared liz not any real
trouble in the treasury finances calculated to
seriously affect the government credit. Wall
Street has no misgivings that the United States
can suffer from impairment of public conf
dence or from any inability to take care of all
and every form Of its obligations.
The thing feared is that the reserves of the
banks may be SO drained by the exports of
gold as to compel further reduction of loans
and discounts and a consequent selling of Sc
curities held on speculation.
The Secretary appears to expect from the
banks q measure of support. SO far the banks,
in meeting the export demand for gold,
have as far as possible avoided draw
ing upon their own deposits in the
treasury. and have preferred to demand gold
for their greenbacks and treasury notes OF
1890, the effect of which has been to drain the
treasury's own stock. Really. therefore, the
banks are largely responsible for the present
low condition Of the gold reserve.

RAILROAD BUILT FOR o.

Remarkable Achievement Of An Obscure
Financial Napoleon in Texss.
From Austin (Tex , Letter.
From south Texas came q man who built 600
miles Of railroad with Is bill and faith, and
the bill was . borrowed one. He moved up
from Corpus Christi to San Antonio with all Of
his possessions hesped up on q two-wheeled
cart. He got charter to build railroad from
San Antonio to Arkansas Pass He graded .
mile Of it, throwing good deal more than one
shovel Of dirt with his own hands The receiver
Of another road loaned this indefatigable builder
enough old rails for mile of track. In . distant
part Of the state was purchased an ems inc winch
had been condemned six years before and
sent to the shops to be wrecked for scrap iron.
Two old cars were picked up somewhere else at
a bargain. And that old engine. draw those
old cars, steamed into San Antonio. On engine
and cars in bold lettering was painted in lamp
black, "S. and A. P.'' With one mile of old
rail track and with the equipment of the old
engine and the two old cars Uriah Lott started
the Arkansas Pass system. There has been some
tall fnanciering in the history Of railroad build
ing in this country, but there isn't anything
which, for dazzling pluck. quite approaches the
story Of the building Of this 600 miles of road
in south Texas.
To the one mile Of track three were .dded-
three miles by dicker for some second hand
rails which a street car company had bought
from q nsrrow-gauge company. Gu this basis
q credit trade was made with q Pennsylyania
rolling mill for ten miles of rails. When thew
arrived there wasn't enough money in the
treasury to pay the freight Butitwas got some
how. Ten miles Of track gave the Foundation
for bonds which built forty miles more, ana 90
tbs system grew into its present proportions.

cALMER FEELING IN NEW YORK.

The Governments Action Restores Conf
dence to Wall Street.
NEW YORK. April PA calmer air pervaded
the subtreasury and its neighborhood this
forenoon. The positive knowledge that
the government had met all demands in
gold yesterday, that there had been
no discrimination between treasury notes
and greenbacks, and the apparently firm
belief that that course had been adopted
in obedience to the wish Of Presi-
dent Cleveland in pursuance Of the fixed
policy of the government to maintain the
parity between gold and silver, evidently
had soothing effect. and there WAS a good
deal less sensational talk around than there was
yesterday. This was also. of course, partly due
to the fact that gold is not a rule, drawn on
Saturday for shipment, although there was
an exception even to that rule today.
At 10 80 clock it was said by Mr. Muhle-
man that 500, 900 gold had been ordered today.
As an Offset to this. however it was said that it
was known that 100000 in gold was going to be
sent into the subtreasury. There were also ru-
mors that rome Of the gold taken yesterday
might be returned to the Treasury on Monday
if the situation should be further improved.
The actual condition of the United States
treasury could not be accurately stated here
this morning because it was not known how
much had been paid out or received at other
subtreasuries.
Gold was shipped today to Europe on the
steamships La Champagne and Elbe The
former carried $4,000, 900 Of the precious metal.

Four Dead Men Tied in . Boat Adrift In

LONDON, April PA dispatch from Ymui-
den, Holland, states that fishing boat that has
arrived there reports having seen adrift in lati-
tude Sc north, longitude east boat which
had painted on its side name which as far as
could be made out read "Naran." In the boat
were four dead men, their bodies being tied to
the seats.
high sea was running at the time the boat
was sighted and this prevented the fishing YES
sci from running close to the drifting boat. It is
conjectured here that this small boat came
from the Inflated Naronic. which sailed from
Liverpool for New York on February ii last
and has never since been heard from. No date
is given on which the boat was seen.
The position where the boat was sighted is
little to the westward OF the middle OF the
North sea.
NOT FROM THE NARoNIC.
LONDON, April 22.-The vessel Cameo, which
arrived at Newcastle today, reports having
picked up in the North sea boat containing
the bodies Of Eve men. This was
doubtless the boat reported, to have
been sighted BY the fishing boat
thar arrived at lmuiden. The supposition that
the boat belonged to the Naronic proved to
have been without basis. 1t is now known that
it came from the Noranside, a coasting vessel
which sailed from Blyth April II for Neufahr-
wasser.

The Disaster to the Pennsylvania and Mary

BALTIMORE. April 22.-The announcement Of
the disaster to the Pennsylvania and Maryland
steel companies, made late yesterday afternoon,
has had a very depressing effect throughout the
financial circles of this city. The firms we're
regarded as being the largest and financially
the soundest industrial enterprises in the coun-
try. As one fnancier expressed it. "the failure
of the Bank OF England would not have occa-
stoned much more amazement than this diff
Guilty Of the Pennsylvania and Maryland Steel
companies"
The paper Of the companies had during the
past four months been on the market, and it
was considered gilt-edged, and was bought up
freely by Baltimore banks.
The estimates Of the amount of their paper
held by Baltimore banks differ widely By
some the amount is placed at $500 900, while
others say it is much less. The amount is SO
distributed, however, that the banks holding
it would not be seriously affected
II they should lose it all. The bank officers
say they expect to receive 100 cents on the
dollar and the suspension Of payment will only
be temporary.
