NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, April 12.-With the ex-
ception of rally in prices shortly after
the decline at the opening, the course of
prices was very generally downward to-
day. The course of affairs in southeast
Europe was a potent factor in discour-
aging trading and some private cable fid-
vices received in the street painted more
alarming condition of affairs than was
reflected from the foreign exchanges.
The trend of the market downward
brought realizing sales IN some of the
stocks that have enjoyed the greatest
gains of late.
The bond market eased off in sympathy
with the downward trend of share val
ues, but the losses were trivial aside
from Colorado Midland lists, which re-
acted Z per cent. as compared with the
previous sale. The dealings developed
little feature and were largely confined
to the prominent issues. The sales were
1868, 900. Government bonds displayed
a hardening tendency ON the first call, but
later sagged slightly. The sales were

Chicago, April 12.-The bulls on the
Board of Trade were in high feather
to-day. Prices were advanced all along
the line and the bears were called upon
to settle to the extent of cents in May
wheat, Il cent in corn, Is cent in oats,
20 in pork, ~ in lard and cents in
ribs. The order Of the day in all quar-
tiers seemed to be the covering up Of
short contracts, the result of the recent
hammering process by which the bears
forced wheat for May delivery to 64h

they are responsible and the work done
in accordance with the plans and speci-
fcations. This matter rests with the
proper government officers, who will no
doubt see to it that the work is proper
~ done.
The firms who participated in the re-
cent contest for the locks and dams on
the Ohio river are exerting their inf1u-
enee with the Senators and members OF
Congress to try to prevail upon the Sec
Rotary of War not to award the contract
TO the firm which put in the lowest bid
on the ground that it is not a response
BILE party. AS the bids have not yet
reached the Department and no recon-
mendation frcm Major Bixby has been
received, the matter will not be settled
until the bids are received.
The ribs and framework for the new
government barges to be built at the
Cincinnati marine ways are being saw
ed and work on them will be conlmenc-
ed in few weeks.
The extreme low water which has
prevailed for several months has
brought plainly to notice the big Indian
rock situated at the south side of Buff
fa,o creek, between Wellsburg and
Wheeling. The stone marked an old es-
tablished trail and on it were recorded
the distances between certain points
in the days of Washington.
