current trade estimates reg arding the wheat CROP
area are little m,re favorable and somewhat
m ore liza ble to prove profitable the advance of
the season makes the cond tion of growing wheat
better. Cotton has not changed, although the
MOODS IN the lou Invest have doubtless done much
harm The cotton and other textile manufactures
are slowly gaining in business, though PRINT
cloths and most staple cottons remain unchanged
In price and restrictions of output seem to have
given some relief TO the market The buying of
wool by mills is still a notewor hy feature. being
far In excess of current consumption but there is
a much greater volume of transactions between
dealers, and at the three chief markets the sales
for five weeks have been 81, ,725, 200 poun Is,
against 20, $40 in the same weeks of 1892,
when the mills were well employed. Prices are
very strong, both here and at Lon ION.
The iron and steel industry has been staggered,
so 10 speak. by the decision of the Supreme Court
anecting railroads, since IL Is apprehended that
purchases not only OF rails but of cars, Iocomo-
lives and bridge materials may be affected. The
demai d. for rails is still considerable, and
order is pending for TO- 900 for Japan but the
reduction in Mesaba ore with the want of agree
me mt as yet among producers OF hard ores tends
10 encourage the belief In low prices for finish ed
products and so 10 hinder buying. The great
strueg gle between the ore-producing ompaneS If
Mesaoa has not yet so far de eveloped that anybody
can feel confident as to the future cost of iron.
Meanwhile, with pig accommodating, although some
furnaces have opped production, the price of
Bessemer at Pttsburg is a shade lower at Sl0 rs
and gray forge at 50, but there no quotable
chan ges in prices of finished products. although
cut nails only affects selling prices iu Eastern

The markets are still visiting, some saggng
downward and others recovering. There is M uch
disposition to the decision of the Supreme
Court against railroad combinations as an iustru-
ment for depressing stocks yet the buying
has prevented o decline exceeding 81 per share
and for trust siocks 20 cents per share
j he reports of raijr ad earniDgs for the quarter
have been somewhat encouragug, the aggregate
having been on roads within The United States
only Sd per cent sma ler than last year, and the
March returns have bee rather more favor BILE
than before January or February.
The vote OF the House in favor of q new tariff
Dill has made 10 impression in business since IL
has been expected since Nov-mbe that some
measure OF the same general charact er won d be-
come law. If the bill stands with its provision
making new duties applicable April the chances
are that foreign imports and treasury receipts
may be -or lime considerably restricted. The
market for products has been variable and uncer-
tain. Wheat closes q cent lower than last week
and The May option has declined 2 cents and
western receipts for the week have been 2, ISL

Atlantic exports, flour included. have been g lS5 :
