WALL STREET.

New York, March 13.-The stock market
today displayed decreased activity as a
whole. and the dealings for the most part
reflected adroit manipulation. The gen
eral tone was easier and only three stocks
deserved special comment in regard to
activity. These were American Tobacco,
General Electric and st. Paul. The bulls
received a setback at the outset from the
untdVorable character of the London quo
tations for American stocks and moderate
sales were made for that account in this
market The local traders put out lines
of shorts in a number of the more prom
1nent shares. Interest at the opening
centered in General Electric, in view of
the agreemen entered into between the
General Electric and Westinghouse COM
panies regarding the division of terri
tory and other essential points. Suisse
quently free selling, particularly by Bos-
ton, had depressed the price. The sag
glng tendency in this speciality had a de-
pressing effect on the general market,
ana some substantial declines occurred.
Denver & Rio Grande preferred and
cent The selling of the last named was
most marked and was influenced by re-
ports purporting TO forecast the plan of
reorganization and including alleged as
sessments Of $40 on the preferred stock
and $40 on the common The safe arrival

another advance Of Is per cent at the
close. Around 1:30 heavy purchasing or
ders We're distributed which sent Tobacco
up 3 per cent. from the lowest. The gen
eral stock market steadied in sympathy
with Tobacco and some slight gains
suited. The closing was dull and steady
at general fractional net concessions.
Business in railway and miscellaneous
bonds was restricted to Ss74 600. This mar
ket was sympathetically affected by the
snare speculation, but the losses scored
were light and mainly confined to the

SEEN BY DUN.

New York, March 1S-R. C. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, which
issues tomorrow, will say:

hope. but little actual business, ex-

feeling that the spring of 1896 ought to
bring larger business will not suffice

larger business does not come.
1t is especially noteworthy that
prices OF materials have Varied quite
differently from prices Of snanufa c.
tured products, although In most cases
the advance last fall was commenced
by extraordinary uplifting OF prices
for materials.
Thus cotton is 29.a per cent higher
than year ago, but cotton goods
average only 1917 per cent. Wool is
but So per cent higher than a year
ago, hut wooden goods are on the
whole about 4 per cent lower.
Pig iron is only IL per cent higher
than a, year ago, while finished pro-
Ducts of iron and steel average rs per
cent higher. These comparisons are
important, because they disclose
something OF the grave dislocation of
prices which inadequate consumption
and combinations have produced. The

Wheat Climbing I'm.

"The price of wheat has been
steadily on the increase this year."
says railroad man of the sound.
(which fact justifies the farmers in
planting every available acre to
wheat. This, in connection with
the fact that thousands Of acres of
wheat land have been fallowed, and
only need to be planted to produce
a rich harvest, makes it altogether
natural that the acreage should be
very large this season. And in
view of the large acreage of sum
mer-fallowed land, and fall-plant-
ed grain. it is very probable that
the Palouse country will produce
more wheat in 1896 than during
the preceding year."
