Stocks and Bonds.

New York. March 3O.-To-day's transactions in
stocks might fairly be termed a runaway bull mar
ket. The overwhelming conviction Of all operators
on Wall street seemed TO be that a peaceful adjust
ment Of the controversy with Spain is probable.
Any Of the minor Developments of the day which
seemed to contradict this assumption or to threaten
the defeat Of this outcome were persistently and
during the day. but these were evidently due mere
ly to realizing sales by those who were content to
ing sales were absorbed without at any time reduc-
ing the level Of prices to last nights close. or even
the top figures Of the day under renewed buying.
The day closed with such a buying movement in
full force and with prices near the highest level.
The days net gains In the railroad list ranged from
/ to 3 points and in the specialties gains OF over
5 points in Sugar and nearly I points in Metropol-
itan Street Railway were scored. Some of the
shorts put out in Mondays bulge were covered to-
day, and perhaps helped on the advance materially,
but the leading influence in the market was a ram
pant speculative buying movement. London was
credited with being a large puyer here. but for
eign exchange failed to reflect the fact. the tone Of
exchange being firm This might be due to slightly
easier time money, which was no less significant Of
the prevailing confidence in peaceful outcome than
the strength in stocks. Prices Of Americans in
London had risen before the opening here. bur
cabled reports said that this was due to buyinx on
New York orders. Spanish government bonds also
showed strength in Paris and London, but this was
called a reflection Of the strength Of American Sc
curities rather than the cause Of Ii. Early reports
from Washington that Spain had agreed TO free
Cuba for 5000, 900. 900 indemnity, gave the first pow
OF the senate foreign relations committee from re-
porting any Of the warlike resolutions in its custo-
uy n inc Ieiuhai o te mouse TO interrupt the
progress Of the presidents negotiations with III.
Spanish government were interpreted as favorable
factors. No account was apparently taken OF the
implied suggestion accompanying these actions that
the presidents demands upon Spain were sufscien,Iv
frm and far reaching to meet the objections OF those
who had threatened TO oppose him in congress. The
underlying conviction in financial circles was ,h,t
whatever these demands may be. Spain would aae
cede to them and thus avert hostilities.
The bond market was by no means as active ,s
stocks. but the tone was strong and some not.hIa
gains in prices in sales were made.

Wool Dead Dull.

Boston. March 30.-The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter will say tomorrow Of the wool market:
The wool market has been 50 quiet that IL may
almost be said that there is no market. As II
looks at present. however. 1t would seem that a
turn for the better has taken place in our
foreign relations and that the market will not again
experience such dullness as has lately characterized
1t. Much Of the dullness in the trade may be at
tributed to the state of the money market. Very
few manufacturers have been seen in the market.
Another cause Of the dullness is believed to be the
Increased use Of cotton. shoddy and other substi-
tutes.
The London sales report heavy buying by France
and Germany at advancing prices. No sales have
been made as yet for American account. Prices are
almost purely nominal.

Dry Goods.

New York. March 3o.-The dry goods market is still
in an unsettled condition. the war talk and IN
satisfactory sales OF cotton goods having demoraIized
1t to no small degree. Trading was light in the
extreme. Buyers in the market are few and mail
orders are not heavy, although there has been some
improvement since the early part of the week. Job
bers report a light week so far. with little or no store
trading, and unsatisfactory results from direct mail
orders or salesmen's efforts in most departments.
Collections continue fair. The domestic demand for
staple cotton goods is universally poor. Export goods
are also quiet although there are continued deliv-
cries on previous orders for China and other Eastern
markets. The steady demand, however. comes from
South American ports. Print cloths are bid for at
&c for extras. but manufacturers will not sell.

ket has been had since our last review. A marked
increase in the receipts and better quality of the
hogs coming in caused packers to squeeze prices. and
q decline of 10c per cwt- was established for the
week at most OF the Western centers. Provisions
along with grain suffered from apprehension Of war
and consequent interruption Of the export business.
packers arc more cautious and were prompt to take
advantage of the increased supply. Receipts here
for the week ending yesterday were s.451 greater than
the week previous and 1s.05s larger than the same
week last year. And in Chicago there were also
much better receipts ard there as here a decline Of
1oc per cwt. was made during the week. As to the
future all depends upon the arrivals. The supply

A very good market has been had the past week,
both for sheep and lambs. Ard az the arrivals were
lighter than the week previous. prices ruled come
what better. Killers were all steady buyers through
out the week and a good demand was had for stock
ers and feeders to go back to the country Some
fancy spring lambs sold yesterday at IS. 90 per cwt..
and a choice bunch OF Colorado lambs brought s.. 50
per cwt- While the season has much to do with tile
strengthening uo of the market, yet the fact that
the receipts were near II. 900 short OF she arrivals for
the same week last year must be given much credit
for the strengthening up Of the market.
