In spite of the pumping operations on the
Comstock the mining stock market is steadily
shrinking though the daily decline is slight.
1esterday's telegram from the pump said: I'VE
smut down the elevator for three hours last
night; The water rose 21 feet At $50 this
morning the water was within 10 feet of the
lowest point reached, or 132 feet below the
l7e0-foot level and 15S feet below the Sutro
drain boxes. We will run the elevator only
long enough to keep the water to about ch.s
point until the water is drained from the Bo-
nanza slopes. The water was going down slow
ly at all points when measured. The elevator is
running quite steadily"

CANNED GOODS IN NEW YORK.

The New York Commercial says:
There is a substantial agreement among
canned goods men that the outlook for the
business was never better. With practically
the entire country prosperous and the prob
abilities bright that it will remain so for years
70 come. there is no reason why all canned
goods men should not reap a substantial re-
ward for their efforts. The only drawback is
the higher price of can manufacturers mate
rials and the uncertainty as 20 what turn
prices viii take in the future. The sale Of fu-
lures was never so heavy il has been 80 far
this season. and the sale OF the bulk OF the
fruits and most Of the fish is yet 70 come
Tt Is said that there have been liberal
sales OF salmon at prices to be made in the
future. Some of the contracts are made for
positive delivery, but a good many have a
safety clause which packers are in
serting wherever possible to save themselves
from such expensive experiences as they had
last year. The outlook for a large pack is not
encouraging. Not only IS the prospect for a
small run Of fish, but the cold storage men are
making considerable purchases. which will re-
dUce the number 10 be sold to packers. The
price asked for fish by some of the fishermen
Is almost fabulous, and Il IS difficult 10 see
where packers can make pront Spot sup
plies are closely cleaned up. Il there was any
cheap stuff obtainable il would go at remark
ably good prices for under grades. but the
supply on hand is comparatively short and is
said 10 be controlled BY holders who have
agreed TO hold quotations up TO the present
'Sardines are steady at present, with ad-
vaucing tendency noted There is a probahil-
fly that there viii be another advance as soon
& the syndicate actually get the canneries
into their control. some holders are asking IS

oysters are high and the quantity avail
able is smaller tnan usual, though the exact
extent OF the reduction is at present uncertain.
Il is said that prices viii rule high during the
season. The shortage was caused by the cold
weather, which prevented fishing when II was

Lobster is almost Uuobtainable. There will

CHIcAGo GRAN MARKET.

CHICAGO. April s-The wheat market was
exceedingly nervous and uncertain Milder
weather and somewhat lower Liverpool cables
caused liquidation at the start and
consequent decline The sellers were soon
bailed out, however, and soon as the sell
ing pressure was removed, the market had a
rapid recovery on buying orders from traders
who had further crop damage news from the
country. May opened AGAc lower at from
72%c down TO 72ssc. and after rising to 73c
without any wild stirring of the contending
forces, the price shot suddenly up to 1890.
July was responsive to the buying on crop
damage complaints, but for the time being did
not get above 73tsc. The price of May gradu-
ally receded to around 73c. and then occurred
a struggle among some large scalpers TO see
who could unload fastest. The selling result
ed in sudden collapse to 72ssc for both May
and July. Then recovery set in that was
about sudden the slump had been. July
the leader on the second rally, going to
Ac premium for a time. Everything gave
place to the influence OF the shoals of SEN
sationaliy bad crop reports that came from
all directions
From Nebraska total ruin was the cry
from many sections and Kansas was not far
behind, the exception being a report of less
than 80 per cent damage. Many claimed the
losses TO be IS per cent. The feeling of opera
ton 70 an advance was not allayed however
Every advance brought out free offerings from
the local talent which the market was nor
broad enough TO absorb without yieIdine +ar1
porarily. Atlantic port clearances were equal
in wheat and -four to 21O, 900 bushels AS the
crowd had loaded UP on every bulge, the bur
den became too heavy near the end and they
were compelled 10 drop some of it as the
session approached the close. May reached
7S5sG73S4c on one of its upward stretches and
twice it dropped 10 72asc and recovered again
10 over 73c, but finally rested at 72Sc. July
closed &c higher than May at 72&c.

BUTTER, CHEESE AND EGGS.

There is change in Butter except more
weakness in dairy descriptions. Cheese is easy
and unchanged.
The comparative scarcity in Eggs is causing
surprise among the trade who are unable to
account for II only on the theory that owing to
the scarcity of feed last year poultry raisers
diminished the product of incubators and thus
cut down the supply of Hens this year.
Whether this is true not the Egg supply of
California Is certainly not up TO normal pro-
portions this Year, and the market is steadily
advancing in consequence However, supplies
of Eastern the way and may affect the
