the Condition Of Business.
CANCELLATIONS ARE ONLY MODERATE
Wnr scare Has Not Affected orders.
ms Much M Expcctcd-The staples
Are Nearly All Higher.

New York, April 90 .--Bradstreet'5 will
say tomorrow: There has been some dis
position apparent Of late to attribute con-
siderable more to the fear Of impending
hostilities than seems proper. Reports
have been given in the press o. large
volume OF cancellations in different lines
OF trade, all due, it is claimed. to the fear
Of strained relations. Special and wide
spread inquiry fails TO show anything like
the reported volume oil cancellations in
the different lines OF trade at various
cities. with the sole exception Of the
wcolen goods industry. These cancella-
tions come chiefly from wholesalers all
the percentage is given as 80 to 70 per
cent \ number OF mills, however,, ure
said to have smut down and the evil OF
Overstocking is thought to have been
largely averted Caruul inquiry would in
dictate that fully so per cent OF the can
cellations have been due to clothing houses
giving larger orders than they really re-
CURED.
The general trade and speculation this
week have exhibited most OF the charac-
teristics which have become popularity as
Eceiated with the near approach OF nos
tilities, but trade conditions are being
chapel to the new order OF things. There
is increased activity in many special lines
at the seaboard accompanied by excited
and heavy price advances, but the
prospect OF war has not had nearly as
much effect as was expected. Commercial
news this week shows much activity in
staples, such as wheat, corn. oats floui,
coffee, sugar, most pork products and cot
ton. A reflection CT this active demand.
which had its rise. so Ear as wheat and
cotton are conserved, among foreign buy
ers who wish 20 anticipate any possible
interruption. OF supplies, is found in the
OF prices. which for the first
line for many weeks past, shows = general
upward tendency.
The advances in coffee. sugar and rice
ire directly traceable to war influences,
marking desire by domestic buyers TO
protect themselves against any possible in
eruption OF supplies or the anticipated
ewing of taxation to meet the increased
outlays OF the government
The cheek to export trade at some ports
otably at the South. is reflected in tom
,orarily smaller shipments of wheat, corn |

Big slump in Spanish Fours-Ameri
Cnn Securities Asn Wenl

New York. April 22.-- Bradstreet's finan-
cisl review tomorrow will say: On the
whole the speculative world has received
the serious development Of the present
week with calmness. Spanish is declined
from 42h on last Saturday to under 81
The fear of decided trouble in the Paris
market, where SPANS securities are large
iy held and dealt in. seems to have been
Principal depressing factor in London. At
the same time Americans were weak there
and the selling of them for London account
was the chief source of pressure in this
market during the first part of the week.
Traders hero who took advantage of tho
market seemed very nervous and We're de-
cidedly prompt to cover their snort con-
tracts On any ruiuors Indicating that Spain
would withdraw from its poscition or that
the course of action mapped out by con-
gress might be delayed
The market, in spite of the yery baIIip
erent aspect of affairs, had several such
rallies mingled with its dullness in tho
early days of the week and London's Of
icrs seemed to be well absorbed It might
be noted, however, that railroad bopI;
in which there has been no specula.i.,n and
no short interests, wore relatively higher
than the stock market. the course OF which
