NEW YnRk- Anril 23--Rrndslreet,

NEW YORK, April 3.-Bradstreets FL
nancial Review tomorrow will say:
Saturday and Monday last were signalized by
heavy selling and considerable declines on the
part Of the foreign houses and by bcarish mani
festations by the local traders. The declaration
OF war between Turkey and Greece was the cause,
and II was assumed that when the London and
continental markets rcopencd on Tuesday after
the Easter vacation they would lie In more or
less panicky conditions and that American stocks
would he thrown on New York in large quanti-
pointment to the bears. Both London and the
continent took the news Of war calmly and APP
parently concluded that the disturbance would
he limited to the original combatants or soon
ended. Spectators in London who had sold
our stocks on the opposite theory Of course made
haste to cover their short contracts. and the
local bear contingent also purchased with haste
resulting in the marked recovery in prices duiing
Tuesday and Wednesday. The exhaustion Of the
short interest in International stocks caused a
slackeninE in the movement toward the end Of
for by manipulation directed against the bears,
the anthracite stocks, Jersey Central In particu-
lar gaining considerable ground.
on Thursday. however, Iondon's demand for
Americans to cover shorts fell off entirely, and
the market there devoted itself to n rise in the
Kaflr mining shares. The absence of further
foreign support, with the circulation OF runners
that the area Of disturbance In the continent was
spreading. had of course AM effect on this mar
ket and prices yielded toward the end Of the
week, there being also more or less renewed ac-
tivity on the mart of the bear traders.
The proceedings throughout were purely pro-
fessional, and 1t would seem that large interests
generally hold aloof from the trading until a
more equitable set of conditions appear.

large auction sales OF cotton goods last week,
buyers continuing to supply immediate needs
only.
The tendency toward more settled weather has
stimulated retail demand, more particularly at
the northwest, notably for dry goods, hard
ware and millinery. The general tendency Of
the Mississippi food to subside has created a
better feeling, but not even the recent agricul-
tural department census records all the damage
done. Country roadways have begun to inn
prove, which benefits Interior merchants.
The only large cities reporting an increase In
the movement Of merchandise are st. Paul,
Minneapolis. Milwaukee and Kansas City. where

there has been no material gain in industrial or

CATTLE-Tleceipts of cattle were un-
usually large for "A Friday, there being
seventy-eight loads reported in, a gain over
Il week ago of i2J head.
The market as a whole was not very pro-
ductive of new or interesting features,
values on all kinds OF cattle being about
steady.
While there were quite a good many corn
fed beeves in the yards there was nothing
choice or fancy to put q high top on the
market. Still the most of the cattle were
good, such as are selling at $4.3ou4.5O. The
prices paid were the same as prevailed yes
terday and the market could hardly be
quoted otherwise than steady. The cattle
were all sold in good season and the yards
cleared.
Less than half as many lows and heifers
were on sale today as yesterday. Still the
market was not particularly active and it
was some time before a clearance was
effected. As was the case with beef steers
the cow stuff sold at about steady prices.
Stockers and feeders were in liberal sup
ply. but the demand was good and the mar
ket firm. Representative sales:
