Bills of Fare in Fashionable Restau-

The question has been mooted over and
over again whether the ENGRAVING of

ton our cooking was coarse, barbaric. This
is an open question. but no bill Of fare

THE WEEK REVIEWED.
New York, March 4.-Bradstreet's finan-
cial review tomorrow will say:
EARLY in the week speculation devel-
oped a tendency to recover from the de-
preston which in the preceding week
had resulted in a sharp break in prices.
The relations of this government with
Spain have continued TO be the prom
inent factor in the situation, and though
there has been a subsistence Of fear about
war the tendency is to wait for develop
ments and there has been an evident
susceptibility to bear attacks, one of which
made on Friday, caused a sharp recess
sion and a weak close. The public parted
with its speculative holdings on the break,
and the market has been to an increased
extent in the hands Of professional opera
tors The investment market has also
shown a susceptibility to the same class
OF influences and while railroad bonds
have been firm and recovered moderately
from the depression, the transactions in
that department of the market are very
reduced in volume. Such improvement in
values as the stock list has exhibited
seemed largely due to covering by the
short interest, and a rapidly manipulated
rise in prices at the beginning Of the
week appears to have pretty well elimin-
ated the bears Large interests have ex-
tended some support TO the markets and
stocks seemed to have passed rapidly into
strong hands, though the disposition has
been to wait for developments regarding
Spain and Cuba rather than 20 resume
active manipulation. The market was
greatly relieved by the easing of OF call
loan rates Little attention was given 10
the ACCOMMODATING hardening Of exchange
and the suspension of gold imports, with
a total movement of about $4,000 900 gold
from the other side. London. though still
inclined TO buy moderately at the begin
ming of the week, has since realized mod
erateIv on the stocks which they have
purchased on the break. The gratifying
character of the news about general bus
mess and the directly favorable character
Of railroad earnings creates an underiy-
ing bullish sentiment, and the street
a. large shows more or less confidence in
the ability of the market 10 respond TO
favorable developments in the foreign sit
nation though cautious and restricted the
character of the trading by professionals
has caused narrow and frequent huctua-
tions in prices"
