THE STOCK MARKET.

was quieter in all STOCKS.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
At station indicate maximum Temperature for the
days; those underneath it. if any, the amount of
rainfall Of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours Isobars, solid
lines connect points of equal air pressure; so-
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "high" means high barometric pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather: Glow"
refers TO low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains
Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast rain is probable;
but when the dow is inclosed with isobars OF
marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb-
able. With a ''high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California coast, warmer
weather may be expected II summer and colder
weather in winter The reverse Of these conditions
VIII produce an opposite result.

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, n. Y, pril 24.-R. G. Dun e. Co
tomorrow will say in their weekly review of trade
Failures for the week have been 23S in the United
States against 23O last year. and 44 in Canada
against 81 last year. Business has been favored
by seasonable weather, and the distribution Of
products has made fair progress, not yet reducing
retail or wholesale stocks far enough, however, to
materially improve the position of industries
Money markets have grown favorable as
well the state of foreign commerce, and until an
apparently grounuless revival of discussion about
the Venezuela difficulty there was brighter pros
poets of European investments here. The belief
that agitation for cheap money will be permanently
LAID at rest this year is gaining ground, and in
financial quarters causes more confidence for the
future.
Prices of commodities are on the whole lower
than ever before, having declined about per cent
since April and II per cent since July, 1890, or
October, 1892 The fall in manufactured prod
ucts is little than was April l. but in farm
products greater.
Speculation is swayed by trifiing influences when
markets very narrow. The recent advance
checked buying Of wheat for export, and Atlantic
exports for the week were only 1,01S254 bushels
Western receipts were 2,094,557 bushels against
1875 ,4OS last year With generally fair prospects
as TO winter wheat the price dropped about &c
nearly halt the rise based gloomy receipts early
this morning
shade lower.
a single enterprsing buyer was able to push up
the price OF cotton an eighth, though the progress
OF planting gives promise of a large yield and the
receipts continue as large as 1893.
cotton goods were bought less freely last week
and the Northern mills have taken scarcely anv
cotton this month. The feeling is more hopeful
because retail trade is better. The situation in
wooen goods does not improve. The large orders
taken Tor boots and shoes when prices were re-
duced 70 last years lowest, more than a month
ago. result in shipment nearly equal to last
in April, thus far. per cent less but new orders
are not now coming freely except for Immediate
delivery to ill out broken stocks. Leather is
weaker with heavy sales averaging about 3 per
cent lower Tor the week, although higher at Chi
cago.
Neither piglron nor manufactured goods have
improved in dema&d as yet, though further com
binations have raised prices Of rods and OF bar
iron TO 81 20, while steel bars sell at 81 IS and
nails are TO be 15c higher after May l. Brokers at
Ptsburg are still selling steel billets 6Oc below the
pool prices, though it was formed more than three
weeks ago, and Bessemer pig has declined there
TO Sl3; gray forge stronger Structural angles are
a shade lower, though some good contracts are ex-
pected. Many consumers of copper are working
part time and lake is offered at $40 65 Tin is
dull, but shade higher at $13 O4, and lead. with
large Western sales at $3 071a. Makers of tin
plates have agreed to maintain prices So 70 heing
still quoted for Bessemer coke, full weight.
