WALL STREET TRADE REVIEWED.
Erndstrcct Sizes III Events OF the
Week on the stock Exchange.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Bradstrcet's FL

nancial Review tomorrow VIII say:
Transactions on the stock exchange this week
were absolutely professional. and the market
has been more than usually irregular In its ten
denotes. Large financial interests are inclined to
wait upon events. while the factors which in
nuenced the smaller traders were OF an uncer-
tain and changcable character. The principal
Items were the Cretan question and It's relation
to European money and security markets,
and the revival Of the Cuban discussion In Wash
ington. As to the first of these. the earliest de-
velopments Indicated that the powers would
probably interfere between Greece and Turkey
and thus prevent n breach OF the peace. This
checked anything like a panic in the London
and continental markets. but the later infurmn-
ton concerning the lack of a definite program
on the part of the powers. and the recalcitrant
attitude of Greece. seetns to be a wet blanket
on the entire European financial situation. Lon
don's influence has. consequently, been a negative
one. At home the discussion Of the Cuban situ-
alton in the senate, and the rumors concerning
the attitude of the American consul general at
Havana, General Lee, together with the news
paper and rumors on the subject, were
used with bearish effect, even IL the street on
the whole displayed less susceptibility to such
disturbing Influences. This, however, may be ac-
counted for in a large degree by appreciation of
the fact that the advent of a new administrn-
ton and the expiration OF the old congress in
n few days limits the probability Of any serious
action in the premises. II may be also mentioned
that the certainty of an extra session of congress
Immediately after March 4. at which revenue
measures will be agitatcd, has a tendency to
limit the disposition to do anything. and it Is
sentimcntally, at least, n bear factor.

BRADsTREEr's WEEKLY REVIEW
Few Cities Report Change in Volume
or Tempe of Trade.
NEW YORK. Feb.

NEW YORK. FeD. B.-BradStreetS to-
morrow will say:
The placing of orders for nearly 500, 900 tons
of steel within the past three weeks is the most
important influence for improvement in general
trade since the November election. The con-
tracts for steel rails, taken since the break in the
price. together with expenditures necessary to
lay these rails, means tho placing in circulation
OF no less than S3j. 600. 600. The amount Of sales
of rails for export has been exaggerated. as or
dcrs placed abroad were due to English mills
being temporarily engaged on other forms Of
steel. The rush for rails appears 10 be about
over and the outlook is for higher prices. Con-
sumption o. ~ ssem r ig iron Is in eyclss II Pre-
duction, and wire and wire nail mills are run
land have started up. Manufacturers are buy
wool. The recent improvement In cotton goods
is maintained.
AT most cities there has been no change in
been quiet, and while expectations favor an
early Improvement. progress thus far has been
somewhat disappointing. The most marked gains
are al Chicago and st. Louis, where visiting mef-
chants have made relatively heavy purchases Of
dry goods, clothing ana groceries. Iobbers at
Cleveland, Cincinnati. Milwaukee and Louisville
In some Instances regard the outlook as more
favorable. Unfayorable weather on the South
Atlantic coast and at the northwest has inter
rupted business and reports from Galveston and
Nashville are that the movement OF merchandise
has been Disappointing.

The disposition of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-


CATTLE-Since Monday the receipts, of
cattle have been very liberal until today,
when there was a big drop IN the number
arriving due undoubtedly to the fact that
the week is nearly at an end. Almost
two-thirds of the cattle here were stockers
and feeders, a good many of them being
westerns.
The supply of beef steers was very meager,
only ten to twelve loads of corn-fed steers
being offered for sale, some of them pretty
decent cattle. The market was just about
steady with yesterday.
Cows and heifers were also In very light
supply, and the trade was soon over with,
the cattle selling about like yesterday.
quite a good many stockers and feeders
were on sale and the situation in that de-
partment of the market was not so favor
able to the selling interests. The extreme
cold weather, combined with the fact that
1t was the last OF the week, and that Oper-
ators had quite II good many cattle on
hand, rendered the market slow and lower.
Buyers, too, seemed to realize all of a sud
den that they have been paying pretty
stiff prices the way beef cattle are selling
and they wanted to take off about 1Oc.

The market opened active and steady, with
prices from 3 to 7 points higher, following ia
vorable Liverpool cables and estimates of small
receipts at the ports. Private cables ascribed the
advance abroad to better, European political con-
ditions and decided firmness in spot markets.
Trading was active, with Liverpool the principal
buyer, and selling by southern interests and
local traders for trading. A further advance Of
from 2 to 3 points followed the opening, and at
