FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, March 31.--Bradstreet's fnan-
cial review tomorrow will say:
Expectations of a more active and higher
money market were verified, call loans hav-
ing touched u per cent this week, while
much of the borrowing of money at the
STOCK exchange has been at to 8 per cent.
These tendencies however, have been no
obstacle TO the development of a strongly
bullish speculation in stocks with advances
in different parts of the list carrying prices
in some instances to the highest levels yet
reached The leaders in this movement
were the Vanderbilt stocks, with certain
specialtieS and industriais, though other
portions of the market were more or less
favorably affected. Signs of active man
ipulations by large interests were abuud-
ant, but the fact that the market had taken
an upward course and that leaders of Wall
street were quoted as saying that fears
about tight money were needless had
decided effect on the speculative public.
Commission houses were large buyers, and
the daily volume of transactions, swollen
as it was by the increased public partici-
patton, was considerably over / 600 600
shares on Monday and the two succeeding
days. This evidently involved the transfer
of large holdings of stocks into the hands
of marginal spectators and prepared the
market for a reaction. Money naturally
became harder as the end of the month
drew near, and the fact that the stock ex-
changes are closed on Friday created
disposition to wait. On Thursday money
rose to II per cent, while the news of the
trouble at Samoa caused some temporary
fear of international complications. The
result was a decline, which in some stocks
almost took the form of breaks, though
before the day ended the leading manipu-
lated stocks were rallied sharply and the
close was generally steady at recovery.
London has shown a disposition to pur-
chase the Vanderbilt stocks and other
specialties, but has not been prominent
factor in the speculation here. Our mar
ket has disregarded the decided advance in
foreign exchange rates and attributed the
rise of demand sterling to preparations for
the remittance of the SIC, 100000 which the
United States treasury is to pay Spain for
the surrender of the Philippines. AS for
the money market, the prevalent i'm
preston in Wall street has been that
firmer interest rates are temporary and
next week will be marked by the return
to New York of the funds which on the
completion of the April disbursements will
no longer be required there Among the
incidents which contributed to increase the
bullish feeling was the fact that the Feb
ruary revenue statements of number of
important railways, while exhibiting de-
crease in net earnings, fail to show such
heavy losses as have been expected.

sellers position on later deliveries. Prices
OF material are flrm with further advances
at the west in rails. Copper and lead show
some return of strength after the recent
weakness. Lumber demand, though inter-
fered with at retail, shows ell the old
strength of prices.
shrinkage in Dry Goods
There is some shrinkage in the dry goods
demand at New York, but there is report
ed a rather better outlook on wooden goods
Talk of combinations in the wooden manu-
featuring trade has softened wool quota
tons at Boston. Philadelphia reports steel
plates nearly double the price when the
present movement began and the
strength of quinine as not being impaired
Bad weather in general complained of at
the west as hurting distribution at RETAIL
but st. Louis reports little apparent dam
age to winter wheat, and that large orders
for cars and railway equipment generally
are being placed. Spring trade at Chicago
is the best since 1892 and surpasses that
year In many lines; tanners are preparing
inventories necessary to going into the new
combination and iron and steel are still
active, though with less snap than here
tofore. Southern advices are fairly cheer
full. Iron is firm at Birmingham, though
there are reports of immense future in
creases in the southern fields output. Bank
clearings for the week aggregate 81 ,901-
1000. a gain of less than 1 per cent over
last week, but of &c per cent. over last
year.
Past reports of prosperous trade condi-
tons find confirmation in the smallest
number of failures, for the first quarter,
reported for seventeen vars past, while
liabilities are lighter than for twelve years
preceding. The percentage of assets to liza
bilities, too, is as low as that reported in
the most prosperous years. The total num-
Der of failures for the first quarter of 1899,
as reported to Bradstreet'S, was 2,779! TWEEN
ty-one per cent smaller than last year, 81
per cent less than in 1897, and 13 per cent.
smaller than in 1892 while liabilities ag-
gregated $31 ,221 $685. 10 per cent. less than
In 1898, so per cent less than in 1896, and 20
per cent. smaller than in 1893 Increases in
failures over year ago are noted in New
England, due mainly to a large number of
embellishments in Massachusetts, but the
only increase in any group of the states
is noted in the far west.

No 0hanre in COTTON

New York, March 31.-There has been no
material change in the cotton goods mar
ket today The demand in all departments
has ruled moderate but were not any more
readily met in leading lines than before.
Stocks continue very light In all hands.
Fall lines of cotton goods continue in free
demand and firm in price. Wooden and
dress goods are in steady request Bur-
laps are scarce and firm, but the demand is
quiet.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW

New York, March 31-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
There is quieter tone in several lines of
business this week, independent of the re-
duction In volume of distributive demand.
resulting from continued unfavorable
weather conditions in a large section of
country. The strength OF quoted values
however, fails to show that any material
slackening of underlying movements have
as yet become apparent In leading lines.
Less is doing naturally in leading eastern
textile markets on the current seasons
found in the readiness of buyers to place
orders for fall delivery. While leading
western markets note that the edge has
been taken off demand and that bad roads
and weather combined have retarded retail
distribution and hence affected collections
In some sections, results of the first quar-
ter's trade with wholesalers have been so
good that their sanguine cheerfulness as to
the outlook is especially notable. Indus
trial conditions continue most fattering,
with advances in wages still a prominent
feature in steel, iron, machinery and allied
trades. In some lines of manufacturing, 1t
is true, talk Of projected or possible COM
binations had made for some uncertainty.
Notable In this respect has been the glass
trade, In which, however, plans for COM
binations seemed to have temporarily fail
I'D OF accomplishment. Iron and steel are in
less demand at nearly all markets, but this,
in some measure, appears to be the result
of scanty stocks or possible supplies offer
ing and not so much of any curtaIlment of
needs of small consumers. Larger con-
sumers, with supplies secured ahead, are
reported waiting to test the strength of the

A Speedway FnvnrIte.

The New York Journal of yesterday con-
tanned large half-tone picture of Darrell,
2.07A the mare formerly owned by Potter
Brothers of Greenfield, in whom many
horsemen hereabouts are interested. The
picture was accompanied by the following
sketch:
Few devotees of the. Speedway have dis
played the enthusiasm or attained the sue
cess of DR.. II. II. Kane, the owner of the
beautiful mare, Darrell, 2.074. Darrell is one
of the bright, particular stars of the great
racing road. The "brushes' in which she
has come off victorious are innumerable,
but one will be long remembered.
This was when in last October she went
up against the famous PAGER Bumps, who
held the worlds record to wagon Of 2.03f,
and unfortunately died last week, and
Robert j., 2.O14. 1t was the last brush
that Bumps, who had been brought on
from Chicago by his owner, c. K. Billings,
ever had, and Darrell was the winner
against the two famous horses.
Darrell is what is known as "straight-
line yacer" and shows none of the rolling
movement that made the old-time PAGER
but in pure trotting lines, by Alcantara, 8
son of George Wilkes, out Of Alma Mater
and on her dams side goes back to the OLD
Ethan Allen-Morgan stock, whence sht
gets her beauty. She was formerly owned
by "Nick" Hubinger, and as a race mare
though she showed good form, was un
fortunate.
DIR. Kane has a great stable of roadsters
Besides Darrell he owns William E., 1921
a son of Onward, that can take the meas
ure of nearly all the horses seen on thu
Speedway; Honest John, the veteran
PAGER, who though his pedigree is virtually
unknown, can hold his own in any COM
pany, and Laura W., green mare, who
promises to make a great name for her
self at least on the Speedway if not on the
/ rooa track

Offices Will he Consolidated.
Postmaster Webster has received letter
from Congressman W. w. Grout, stating
that he has succeeded in getting the post
office department to order the consolida-
ton of the West Brattleboro post office
with the Brattleboro office and the estab-
lishment of a station in West Bratteboro.
The details of the order have not yet been
received, but it is expected that an extra
carrier, possibly mounted carrier, will be
appointed to give the West Brattleboro
patrons free delivery. The West Brattle-
boro station will be where the present post
office is, and the present postmaster, j. L..
Stockwell, will be appointed clerk to take
charge of the station. In case a mounted
carrier is appointed there will be two de-
liveries each day in all parts of the town
where there is now but one.
