Wool sales for the week have been larger
S,S59 1853 pounds, owing to sales of over
10000 900 pounds OF Australian in bond for
export, and heavy speculative purchases OF
territory. The wool year ends with heavy
stocks on hand and prices about 10 per cent
lower than last year, British prices averag-
ing about IL per cent higher for Australian
fine, but about 10 per cent lower for En-

sales of foreign have been 81, 1,725,503 pounds
for the year, against 80 264, $50 in that year.
The market in goods is little stronger,
with an advance in clay mixtures, but in
general is waiting for the outcome of new
combinations, and about some of these there
is stirl doubt whether they will be COM
pleted. The worsted combination has gone
into operation, but without interfering with
deliveries of goods under previous orders.
The cotton goods market is the more steady,
because some strikes still limit production
a little. but is quite encouraging and active
and in some staples has further advanced.
Failures for the week have been l58 in
the United States, against 23S last year, and
twenty-three in Canada, against twenty

TRANSVAAL RULER OBDURATE
Dom Paul Declines to Comply with tn
Demand of Joseph Chamberlain.
DYNAMITE CONCESSION CAUSE OF STRIFE
Holds that 1T liz No Breach of the
London Convention and VIII
Not Cancel it at the Be-
hest of the English.

LONDON, May 5.-The Outlook in this
weeks issue publishes a special dispatch
from its Capetown correspondent, in which
1t is stated that the British secretary Of
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, has dispatched firmly worded demand
upon the Transvaal republic that 1t must
observe its obligations to the queen as the
paramount power, by securing peace and
order within the republic. This demand is
for the cancellation of the dynamite conces-
son and is taken to mean that the British
government deems that the time has come to
invite President Kruger to observe the
letter as well as the spirit of the London
convention. 1t is not stated how far the
demand takes the form Of an ultimatum, or
If a period is fixed within which redress Of
the grievances OF the Uitlanders shall be
made.
The colonial office declares that there Is
nc foundation for the statements made IN
the Outlook's Cspetown dispatch and adds
that there is no warrant for the allegation
that the probabilities of war with the Trans
vaal have been seriously regarded by tho
government.
CAPETOWN, May 5.-The reply OF Presi-
dent Kruger Of the Transvaal republic to
the demand from the British secretary Of
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, for the cancellation of the dynamite
concession, is published here today. Presi-
dent Kruger contends that the concession Is
bona fide and constitutes no breach of the
London convention. The Transvaal, Presi-
dent Kruger insists, Is entitled to its opinion
as to what is best for the interests Of the
republic. The amendment of the concession
as asked by the British government the
president adds would be breach OF faith
with regard to other parties.

representing the consolidated ship yards of

land is second on the list of stockholders
The holdings of the Hanna and Wallace
families are, of course, very much larger
than the amount of stock owned by these
individuals. The Union Dry Dock company
of Buffalo is to be a part of the consolida-
tion and would have been included when
organization was effected in New York, two
weeks ago, but for delay in concluding a
lease of the plant, on account OF its con-
troll by the Erie railroad At the first meet
ing of officials of the new company just
held here it was decided to allow all matters
pertaining to the management Of the sew
eral plants to continue without change of
any kind until contracts are completed.

DUN'S REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Notwithstanding Labor Troubles and
Combinations Trade Improves.
MANY WAGE INCREASES DURING WEEK
Future is Viewed with CompIacency
in All Lines-Grain Movement
Shows Slight Falling OF,
Compared with Last Year.

NEW YORK, May 5.-R G. Dun & Co.
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
The failures in April were the smallest
in any month since records by months be-
gan 3S per cent smaller than in April of
last year, not a third of the amount in 1897
and not half the amount of April of the
year previous. Both in manufacturing and
In trading they were the smallest ever
known in that month and in trading the
smallest ever known in any month. The
rate of defaulted liabilities 10 solvent pay
ment through clearngs was less than 70
cents per $1,000, against 80 cents in Janu-
airy and $1.19 in March, $7.S9 in August and
$500 in September 1896 A great share of
the risk in the business world has been
eliminated
1t Is not inconsistent or strange if bust
ness halts. because 1t has been crowded to
the utmost for four months in anticipating
future needs on account of new combina-
tions proposed. In some cases prices have
been advanced so far as to check new busi-
ness and in others works have been en-
gagged so far ahead that new orders cannct
be taken. Yet new business in an amount
which would have been astonishing two
years ago is still coming forward and the
voluntary advance in wages by the sixteen
Bessemer firms of the Central association
and by the Frick coke works, whose ship
ments in April 30,452 cars. were the heav-
est ever known, show confidence in the flu
ture. Az buHalo ana IN luanO strlkes are
causing trouble, but labor questions else
where do not affect general business
The grain movement has fallen of, only
2,464, 14S bushels having been received at the
west during the week, against 4 4,765, ,519 last
year, and of corn only 672,417 bushels have
been exported, against 5,455,749 last year.
while wheat exports from both coasts have
been better. 3545,7 1851 bushels, flour included
against 2,654, ,237 bushels last year.
Nearly all iron works are crowded for
months ahead, but a good many are catch
ing up with their orders
The report that all the great companies
are TO be melted into one influences the
stock market, hut is still scarcely credited
and the raising OF foreign prices where
American competition is no longer felt is
suggestive. Pig is nowhere cheaper, nor is
any class of finished product bringing
higher prices, though in many the demand
exceeds supplies. London speculation made
a higher price at 25.95 cents, though At
lantic receipts in April. 55l0 tons, were the
largest on record, and copper is stronger
at Sl9,25 for lake, although European stocks
are rising.
Shipments of boots and shoes from the
east in five weeks have been but 14.S per
cent larger than last year, II per cent
larger than in the next largest year, 1895
and "A per cent larger than in 1892. Fac
tories are busy with orders for months at
old prices. and 21s cents advance is paid
on new orders for several grades. But the

they are also fewer than last week, num-
bering only twenty three, against twenty

As Whole the Market for Week Dis
plays Much Irrcgulnrity.
NEW YORK, May 5.-Bradstreet tomor-
row will say:
Both the temper and tendencies OF the
stock market have varied considerably this
week. The activity was not striking and
there was an increase in the preponderance
of manipulation, with a shrnkage in the
commission house business. More or less
lack of unison between the various parts of
the list was observed the standard railroad
shares being generally dull or heavy and
the chief strength was confined to the steel
stocks and the Flower specialties, while gas
securities the anthracite group and Sugar
were the leading examples of positive weak
ness, At the beginning of the week down
ward movement of some consequence seemed
TO be at hand based on the Ford franchise
tax bill just adopted by the New York
legislature and on the fear that the process
of transferring the $20,000,000 Spanish in
demnity to Europe might lead to gold ex-
ports or to severe disturbances OF the money
market Assurances being given that the
National City bank of New York and the
Deutsche bank of Berlin, which had under
taken the task of turning the indemnity
over TO the Bank of Spain, had virtually
financed the operation in advance and
eliminated danger of it's unsettling the
American money market, speculation at
once assumed more confident tone. The
completion OF the May / disbursements
which had temporarily reduced the supply
OF funds in the money market was another
factor while II was realized that the Ford
franchise lax law in New York would not
become operative for year
The rally which the stock market eX-
hibited was led by the Flower stocks, Brook
lyn Rapid Transit leading the movement In
! fact, that group, including Peoples Gas and
the others, showed throughout the influence
of decided manipulatiye support, The chief
bullish demonstrations were, however, in
the steel and iron stocks. National Steel,
American Steel and Wire and American
Steel Hoop shares responding TO the reports
that plan is on foot to combine these and
other similar properties with the Carnegie
steel industries. The heaviness of gas
stocks, due to the outbreak OF violent COM
petitiye cutting OF prices by the New York
local companies, however, hardly affected
the general list and the renewed weakness
which made its appearance on Thursday was
attributed largely to the bearish tendency
of the London market. The foreigners had
on the whole, seemed inclined to buy dur
ing the early part Of the week, but break
in the Kafiir mining market and a poor Bank
OF England return resulted in pronounced
selling, which had its effect on the stand
ard railroad stocks already rendered dull
by the continued uncertainty about crop
results and prospects and the probability
of poor net earnings returns by the leading
granger roads for the month OF March. An
