NEW YORK. May Sin the course
of his weekly financial review Henry
CiewS says:
During the past week Wall street has
retained the features Of steady quiet ap-
parent for some time past There have
been no events OF sufficient momentum
to change tho current Of affairs. and the
interest has conferred entirely in a few
Bpocialties. The reporting Of the tariff
bill by the senate finance committee had
o good effect on feeling in the stock ex-
change, as indicating the removal OF
obstacles TO eIpediting the enactment
Of the measure and thereby aiding the
recovery Of business In industrial cir
ol0s. The change in the duties on sugar
produced q sharp advance in the stock
OF Sugar Refining Company, which,
however. was followed by quick re-
action.
wall street was disappointed at the
Benates rejection OF the Anglo-Ameri-
can treaty. That result had been very
generally expected, and the event there
fore had no effect on prices; It was, new
ertheleaa, deeply regretted as tho loss
OF an opportunity for cementing friend
ly relations between the two countries,
and for encouraging more unreservcd
confidence in American enterprises
among the investing community OF
Great Britain.
Tho prospects Of the cereal crops be-
gin to attract attention, but as Vegeta-
tion Is one or two weeks behind the
usual stage at this season, there IS little
data for forming expectations. So far
as respects the yield OF winter wheat,
the best estimators place 1t at probably
around 100000, 900 bushels, assuming the
conditions Of weather 10 be favorable.

in these conditions; the latest advtces
