After every rise in prices, manufacturers
have to consider whether hindered con-
sumption with increased production Will
make them difficult, but confidence with
which combinations are formed and ex-
tended still shows prevailing belief that
no danger point is near.
The state of foreign trade justifies con-
finednce rather than apprehension.
The presence of English merchants in
Boston trying to sell English medium
wool. which could be delivered there at
about 32c at the same time that English
buyers were taking a little fine territory
for export and German buyers, 5000
pounds Australian from bond shows the
opposite trend of popular taste in differ
ent countries. Clay worsteds here have
advanced 71ac, and serges SC. which
strengthened the tone Of the wool market.
The wool is relatively cheap here, and
dear abroad, but concessions make the
lowest prices of the year in all kinds,
as heavy stocks carried for years come
into presence of new wool, said to be

The cotton manufacturers has made lit

Notably Quiet in Iron and Steel.
NEW YORK. April 2S-Bradstreet's of
to morrow will say: Favorable weather
conditions find reflection in reports Of
good retail distribution of spring and
summer goods, and in fair filling-in or
dtrs from jobbers. Demand from first
hands for general merchandise is if any
thing Quieter, in keeping with the be

M, -ked, pleasing feature this week be-
inG the practical absence of the unrest,
particularly in the building trades noted
for many years past about May l. While
faVoring retail distribution. the spring
like weather conditions. however. have
been the reverse of stimulating as re-
CARDS quotations of two of the country's
greatest staples wheat and cotton. In
these and in hog products the tendency
OF values has been toward a lower
range. Winter wheat crop advices have
continued irregularly unfavorable, but
good weather, enabling large area to be
planted in spring wheat, coupled with
rather less active export demand, and
denials of damage to European crops, has
weakened quotations of wheat and flour
at leading eastern and interior markets.
Cotton has weakened on better reports.
Rather more is doing on export account,
and bleached goods are specially firm.
The regular print cloth market is steady
and unchanged.
New demands had been notably quiet
in iron and steel this week. The strength
of the lumber markets shows little i'm
pairment Wool. as a whole, is quiet
and steady. A fair trade in boots and
shoes and the slight advances announced
earlier are we'll maintained. Leather Is
firmly held Partially compensating for
the falling off in exports of natural prod
ucts. particularly cereals. is the i'm
mense expansion In exports Of manu-
fsctured goods. Shipments of such
goods in March aggregated over $50, ,000,-
600. or So per cent of all our exports, a
proportion rarely if ever approached be-
fore.

the week aggregated 3,02S2S3 bushels,

STOCKS IRREGULAR.
Speculation for the Week Was of
Narrow Tendency

Speculation for the Week Was of
Narrow Tendency.
NEW YORK, April 2S-Bradstreet's fl
nancial review tomorrow will say:
Speculation this week developed mar
row and Irregular tendencies. The easing
of the money market, larger supplies Of
funds and a noticeable relaxation of the
disposition to reject Industrial stocks as
collateral had a favorable influence.
which was partially overcome by the con-
t1nued uncertainty about the crops and
the evident falling off in the public in
terest. The latter fact was reflected by
the much smaller volume of daily trans
actions and the comparatively frrespons-
I've state of the market to manipulate ad-
Vances in some of the specfalties The
most significant feature of the week was
the decided activity and strength of the
bond list. The recent change in the saw
1ngS bank investment laws of New York
and Massachusetts,, which opens to the
savings institutions of these states the
bonds of dividend paying railroads, is TO
large extent responsible for the move
ment in question, though this would only
account indirectly for the, in some cases.
heavy appreciation in many issues OF
bonds which have on the whole a semi
speculative position in the market The
abundance of funds for investment and
tle temporary diversion OF public buying
power from stocks to the bond list would
seem also to be a factor in the matter.
the effect, as usual In such cases, being
to sustain the general range OF stock
quotations.
THE market, however, was Of an fr-
regular kind. The Grangers were neg
lected, and the same applies to the Pacific
stocks while. on the other hand the coal
shares showed a tendency to participate
In the better earnings which are said to
be rewarding the companies, and the
prospective issue of rights by the Jer-
sey Central. What are termed the
flower stocks, includink Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, Peoples Gas, New York Air
Brake and Federal Steel, were the object
of renewed bullish manipulation, and
sugar refining, though inactive, displayed
a great deal Of strength. Anaconda min
ing shares were a feature, advancing
from 81 to 6Sas on the large buying both
here and in London. supposed to come
from interests which are arranging the
new copper mine combination. Otherwise
London was not a factor in our market,
though foreign interests were buyers of
Louisville and Nashville, Southern rail-
way preferred and Norfolk and Western
selling at the same time with high grade
bonds at the advances in that part of the
market.
1.-THE sharp advance In the price of
silver caused not u little attention to be
paid to the securities of the Mexican
roads, and Mexican Central stock and

Business Has Been Little Affected

hMsInVss Has Been LIttIe AHeCteu

NEW YORK, April 2S.-R. @. Dun &
Cos review of trade will say All ele-
nlents considered, it is rather surprising
that business has been set back a little.
The uncertainty about Samoa, and the
prolonging OF the difficulties in the Phil
ippines might have counted for some
thing. the rising imports and falling ex-
ports for something. But there has been
full faith that foreign difficulties would
soon be cleared away, and the move
ment in exchange is generally conect-
ed within speculative rather than legi-
innate operations, since accounts Of trade
still indicate a large excess Of exports.
