Amount Inc. Dec.
As Seen hv Dun.

New York, May Pr. G.. Dun &,
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Unmistakable evidence of improve
ment comes in the general increase of
commercial loans, mostly for eastern
merchants of companies, though some
well-known houses in the middle west
appear with considerable rediscounts
from the south. Not for a long time
have commercial loans been fully half
the whole.
The distinct change gives proof that
new business has been larger than
many have supposed. Receipts of
money from the interior exceed ship
ments 81, 500, O00 mostly from the middle
west Exports of gold have no inf1u-
ence, and only signify the willingness
of Russia TO pay a price for the gold
needed.
The excess of merchandise imports
to answer demands for half a year to
come involves a greater excess of ex-
ports when the anticipatory movement
ends and crops begin to move, which
fact renders large outgoes of gold less
likely, and gives a stronger position in
international markets. Meanwhile there
is a continuing increase, distinct
though gradual, in the volume of bust
ness in demand for products of manu-
facture and considering the time of

Bradstreet's Review.

New York, May 21-Bradstreet's re-
view of the stock market tomorrow
will say:
Irregularity in prices and a complete
" professional speculation have been
witnessed in Wall street this week
Tie discussion of the Cuban question
in congress has kept the public out of
the market and caused London TO
avoid our securities for the time being
though prices for Americans there SYM
pathize in small measure with the bet
ter feeling resulting from the armistice
between Greece and Turkey and the
prospect of peace in the Levant Fa-
vorable crop reports from the west
gave strong undertone to the grang-
ers and induced covering of short con-
tracts in that group, although the I'M
certainty about the Cuban develop
ments at Washington evidently pre-
vented large interest from taking the
initiative on the bull side. The tariff
has been, for the time being, obscured
by the more interesting developments

On Wall Street.

New York, May 21.-The stock mar
ket was relieved today of some part
of the pressure of heavy liquidation in
the coalers, and especially New Jersey
Central and in Chicago Gas, which has
been the heaviest drag upon it for sew
eral days past The latter stock showed
some strength today on a renewal of
faith in favorable action by the Hi
nols legislature on the consolidation
DILL New Jersey Central also recovered
about points from the lowest of the
day In quite heavy recovering move
ment. The underlying strength OF the
market was thus allowed to assert it
self TO some extent and was helped by
some special strength in individual
stocks with the result that the dav 5
trading brought fractional gains all
through the list. But while the ten
dency OF prices was upwards the mar
ket was lacking in buoyancy and was
dull and apathetic; the dealings being
in the strictest sense professional and
very small and the variations outside
a few special cases very narrow. A
feature of the market for the last few
days has been the small volume of
dealings in Sugar. Efforts have been
apparent at different times recently to
repress any marked upward movement
IN this stock since the tariff bill has
dealings in dropping market would be
a natural consequence OF this policy
