BRADSrREET'S REVIEW.

NEW YORK, May lS.-BraisGgeet's FL
nancial Review tomorrow will say:
Investment and speculation are still at
tended BIZ uncertainty and hesitation
The market is consequently very re-
stricted aud displays no little irregularity
in its movements The past week. how
ever, has developed increased activity and
interest in the shares list.
The weak element in the market con-
tinues to be the securities OF the bankrupt
companies, the shares of which are
liable to assessment. In view of the
heavy contributions which It seems
necessary To require in many instances
there has been considerable liquidation of
this Class of holdings. The declines thus
produced seem to be independent, OF the
pressure which bear operators have exer-
cised on some of the leading granger
stocks. In the latter Instance the move
menJ was instituted in view OF the severe
cutting of rates throughout the west and
has been conducted In the face OF u
settlement of trouble on the theory thst
the decline of wheat makes it impossible
for the roads to levy IN the futureas high
charges as In the past. This week is tue
third IN succession In which there has bren
no materiai gain In the volume OF business,
and practically no improvement In pros
pect for trade in the near future; although
pleasant weather has favored re- AL lines
la many directions, joboers In staple goods
have not found corresponding Increase IN
demand Continued uncertainty regard
ing tariff legislation Restricts trading In
futures in all staple lines. This is largely
responsible for the reduction In volume OF
bank clesrings.

Railroads and Manufactures Closing on
Account of Mine Strike.

PITTsBURG, May 1S.-The Pittsburg rail-
road coal operators who attended the
Cleveland convention have returned in
decidedly belligerent humor. and it is
likely that the coal strike will be prose
cuted to the end. To decide upon a cou rse
to pursue, Secretary Bailey has called
special meeting of all railroad operators
In this district for Mondey, when the
policy of all railroad operators will be de-
termiped.
Owing to the coal strike the Pittsburg
wire works at Braddocll have closed down,
throwing out $50 men. Furnaces H., l.
and b., of the Carnegie plant, banked
down Tuesday. wore blown out yesterday.
About $50 men are thus Idle. The lack of
