est point ever touched. buying of cotton goods is more hindered than many are willing to admit by the idea that other goods, not equal ly overproduced. may likewise decline in price The stagnation in wool is something remarka- ble, the total sales at the three chief mar kets having been only 1, ,ls2 IA pounds, against g,oeo, oO0 last year, and in the nrst nalL a od April only 3.3S5 044 pounds, against 22r ooO pounds year ago. Manufacturers are still waiting although somewhat encouraged py They have ample orders for the present in most lines, though not in all. Wheat rose ol2 cents and held 212 cents for the week. although Al lantfc exports for the week have been 3,04o, 02l els last year, and Pacific exports s2l,86s bush els, against 212,056 last year. The total from both coasts for two weeks of April has been L. 379 lS6 bushels. against 3.057 4S2 bushels last year. The receipts from Western farms snow some decrease for the week but for two weeks are only about 600 000 bushels smaller than year ago. Meanwhile, 1t Is astonishing that receipts of corn continue remarkably heavy. for the week more than 1000 GOO larger than last year, and for two weeks more than l.. have been l,653o31 bushels against 2,70s, 73S bushels last year and for half of April 8, 146, 6S1. against 6,032, 0l5 bushels last year. Such ex- traordinary exports of corn go ar to show that means of a speculative character. nor likely to diminish speedily. The official report shows that exports in March were 15. 45s,575 bushels of wheat (four included) against 1901. 122 bushels last year, and in nine months from the principal ports. 16S 9os, ,73o bushels. against 132 676. .463 last year. Meanwhile, the exports of corn in the nine months have been l3S,905,- 934 bushels against 135, 2S1 last year.
 The volume of legitimate business Is enor- nous Meanwhile failures are remarkably small for the week: there have been 254 in the United States against POT last year. and IS in Canada, against 30 last year.

BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Bradstreets to-mor- row will say: The effect of the prevailing un- certainty in foreign affairs is reflected in further perceptible quletng down of general trade, so far as future engagements are con- cerned, ir nearly all parts of the country While there is a little more activity to be noted In the demand for seasonabe staples at the West and Northwest, where better weather has helped retail ard wholesale trade alike rather more quiet is reported at the East and at the South Atlantic and Gulf ports where the interruption to business has become par tlculariy serious, owing to the foreign con- troversy. The least notable effects yet ex- hibited are found in the Central West where distributve demand and movement are report- ed of seasonable character the only changes noted, in fact, being the strengthening of money rates and the dscourangement of new enterprises, such railroad building Tn the iron trade business continues of large vol ume, but the bulk of this is claimed to he on account of orders previously booked and new business, where noted, is for small individual lots. Price weakness is more marked also than for some time past. A feature of the week is reported to be the gradual getting together of the n-Bessemer iron purchasers who follow ing the example set by other branches of that which will include nearly all the mAnufactur- CTS of foundry pigiron between the Alleghanies and the Rocky Mountains. Wool continues dull at nominal prices at the East, and the activ- ity in dry goods is confined chiefly to goods needed at once. Cotton goods prices are steady. except for print cloths and talk of curtailing production is continued. Low-price wooens continue in most active demand in this branch of trade. A heavy export demand is reported and prices are considerably higher. The price situation is one of comparative steadiness Foreign impres sions as to the situation in Cuba are reflected In sharp advances in wheat. four, corn and lard and other food products Declines are to be seen in Bessemer pigiron steel billets coffee sugar and lead while, as compared with week ago. the price of oats pork beef, molasses, copper, cotton wool and the manufactured products of both of those staples are generally steady and unchanged

cHIcAGo GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, April 15.-Trade in wheat started with the usual jump in May and new high prices were made for that delivery May closed yesterday at $1 11h but opened to-day at all the way from s1 F to q 14 and in two minutes time it had been bid up to s1 15 Not since 1892 has wheat reached such high level sharp break to s1 10 followed. fol- lowed by quick rally to s1 111k After that all interest near the close was centered in the avalanche. July opened at S7sslS77sc, com Hundreds had 1t for sale at those figures and S65sc was recorded. There the market rested
 but only for few minutes. Liquidation was redoubled and it estimated that at least 5. 00O, GOO bushels dumped the market in the hour and a half which followed the opening, chiefly for Letters account, and the enormous cash sales, the last week must have materially reduced his line of holdings
 The Liverpool market was S@%d lower before this market opened, but apart from that no realization for the weakness could be gath cred from the news. The heavy holders were the recent large advance, and their action brought nearly all the small '.tailers'' in with their lines of long wheat After the July price had got down to S61sc the market again 230 the decline was very gradual But in the last half hours trading liquidation was re- stunned again and this time May also suffered
 though more from lack of support than from an extensive offering. It was evident then that the early bulge in May part of a quidate his July holdings and it undoubtedly did act as a steadying influence during the first tremendous flood of wheat. The market became very weak toward the close and the

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Professional traders
 bought stock this morning, causing an advance
 in prices of a point or over in the speculative faVor1tes, but most of these takings were sold
 again before the expiration of the days ses-

 course and leaving net changes in almost all
 cases insignificant, but with small gains pre- dominating. The party on the exchange which
 espoused the bull side yesterday found cause
 for encouragement in the advance in the price
 Of Americans on the London exchange this morning. Other European Bourses also showed firm tendency for Americans and Spanish 4s rallied from an early depression before the opening of trading here The cause of this strength was rumor that the powers had
 intervened between the United States and Spain and that the Cuban insurgents had agreed to an armistce. This runor seemed to have great force in foreign circles and effected a sympathetic rise here at the onen
 ing, which was assisted by the professional manipulation Reports from London indicate that there has been extensive dealing in on tions on Americans in that market and to-day;s demand was in large part from the sellers oS these options for the purpose of covering their contracts Whatever credence attached to the intervention theory abroad it was not deer.nd @ important in this country, and the buying move ment was quickly exhausted.
