THE STOCK MARKET
Spectators Languid and Their
Ventures Limited.
Hope of a Favorable Bank Showing

Some Issues Benefited by the Anfic-
fpation. But General Trading
Wns Light and LifeIcss.

New York, April 20.-Todays stock mar
ket reflected very little aside from pro-
found speculative apathy. The business
was the smallest in many weeks, and the
irregular course of prices showed that
such public interest as existed was by no
means of one speculative bent. There
was very little in the days situation to
incite speculative operations on either side
OF the account. The money market made
further progress toward a lower level,
and the latest crop advices were more re-
assuring The foreign exchange market
continued firm. but that circumstance was
not included in the days speculative in
fiuences nor. indeed. was IL at all possible
to discover any definite grounds upon
which the room traders, whose operations
constituted the larger part of the days
dealings. were proceeding. The market. in
short, resembled in many respects those
which prevailed in the long period of spec
ulative inertia prior 10 the spring of 1897.
Anticipations of favorable showing in
the bank statement tomorrow were ap-
parently responsible for slight increase
in animation in the last hour. In this
Louisville and Nashville, which had shown
comparative steadiness throughout the day
took the lead. Among the specialties
there were very sharp advances in Colorado
Fuel and Iron and in Colorado Coal and
Development. Nothing fresh in the way
OF news or gossip attended the movements
in these stocks or those in other quarters
OF the market. All the other pronounced
movements in the market were in the So
called specialties and the industrals.
Mexican Central advanced on compara-
lively large dealings, the buying in that
quarter being referred to the reported
undertaking for the establishment of the
gold standard in Mexico. Tennessee sales
were in line with the announcement of the
transaction by which the company dis
poses of the railway lines 10 the Southern
and Louisville and Nashville. The local
transportation shares. apart from Brook
lyn Rapid Transit, were heavy. In the in
dustrial quarter Continental Tobacco was
heavy on the report of the formation OF
numerous small Independent factories in

New York. April 21.-Conservative peo-
pie have nothing on which to bull cotton

nothing to justify selling except the wealth
er. However the confirmation of favorable
conditions is not assured. In some quar-
tiers an attempt is being made to create
bullish sentiment on what is called the al
most certainty of less cotton being planted,
but this has yet to be confirmed. The
Weather Bureaus reports may show con-
siderable reduction and again it may not.
Should it indicate reduction the effect
on the market will probably be greater

buying. On the other hand, contrary

DECEIVED IN MARRIAGE.
Unusual Grounds of Mrs. Elizabeth
Giiiespic's Divorce Petition

Unusual grounds are given as the cause
for divorce in the petition filed yesterday
by Mrs Elizabeth Gillespie. who asks the
court to grant her a legal separation from
her husband, Robert H. Gillespie.
Mrs. Gillespie stated in her complaint
that she was induced to marry the defend
ant b. reason of false representations he
made TO her as TO his financial condition.
He represented TO her. she alleges, that
he was partner in a business house in
New York City. His whole purpose, she
says, seemed TO be to get from her all the
money she had, and within two weeks af-
ter the marriage by fraudulent representa-
ton. he obtained from her 5000 on pre-
tence of investing it in the business of
Aiken, Lambert & Co.. New York
She alleges that he appropriated the
money to his own use. a year after he
obtained from her 5000 as temporary"
loan TO be used for their mutual support,
but he only used 800 for his purpose.

more than cover the payment, and advance
bills against crops TO come forward in
July and later will soon be offered. Loans
on industrial securities are still at higher
rates than on railway stocks. but on good
commercial paper, or railroad stocks,
money is in ample supply and at low rates.
Nor have stock operations caused any ap-
pearance of pressure. The financing of
new corporations has passed thus far with
less trouble than had been feared, though
the completion of some organizations is
hindered or has failed.
Some shrinkage in railroad earnings is
natural because of the smaller movement
of bulky products, and in half of April the
earnings were but 61 per cent larger than
last year and 1876 per cent larger than
1892, running rather behind those of March.
The trunk lines only show loss in compari-
son with either years. Chicago eastbound
tonnage is Is per cent less than last year.
and per cent less than that in 1892, for
that reason. But surprisingly satisfactory
statements of earnings on many roads have
helped railroad stocks to advance 40 cents
per share for the week. while trusts have
also advanced 80 per cent per share, and
the tone of the market is throughout more
confident. The volume of exchanges has
been S2.7 per cent larger than last year for
the week, and outside New York 1873 per
cent larger than last year. The daily aver
age for the month is S1.1 per cent larger
than last year. The boot and shoe manu-
facturer begins to get little better prices
in grain and split shoes than were received
February /, with restoration of qua ity, but
the shipments for the three weeks have
been 267, $50 cases, which is IA per cent
larger than last year. and most manufac
turers are protecting customers by selling
at old prices. Leather is higher for COM
mon hide hemlock. while union is lower
and split. The coke production is still
close to the maximum.
Men who have held wool stiffiy for more
than a year are selling freely at bottom
prices, admittedly the lowest of the year.
With assurances of better prospects for
goods, woolen manufacturers are waiting
for the effect of various combinations. The

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Favorable Crop News Causes n Frac-

Chicago. April 21.-Wheat closed 3-4c
under Thursday at about the bottom for
the day. The news announcement which
most affected the price was by the Mod
ern Miller which claimed there would
be an average winter wheat yield in spite
of all the crop damage exaggeration.
Thoman was out in summary of about
the same tenor. Snow, on the other hand
declared that the spring wheat area would
be as large as last year and that the total
crop under ordinary conditions from this
time forward, somewhere from 525 0CO. 900
to $1,000, ,080 bushels. Lack of outside
speculation was conspicuous. There was
a good deal of bull news early in regard
to cash, but it was not confirmed, and this
evidence OF exaggeration had its effect.
