FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
May 3

= A'J ~
There wcrc about as many gains ms losses in
stock values to-day. but the gains. on the
whole, were larger than tho losses. There was
further decline in sterling exchange and call
money was easier. and altogether stock market
conditions showed something OF an Improve
ment. The actual rate !or demand exchange
was lowered one-eighth OF Il cent. which LETT
the rate more than one cent below the so-called
gold export point, The declining tendency OF
exchange removed any remaining apprehen-
sion OF gold shipments TO Europe and also indi-
Gated that the process OF locking up exchange
for speculative purposes had probably come to
an end. The relaxation In money was due TO the
fat that there are not many large financial OBJ
~erations under way at the moment, and to the
additional fact that the banks and other insti-
buttons financing Industrial combinations have
determined promptly to lend AT prevailing rates
the money paid In on account Of these COM
binaiions. To-day's highest call money rate
was 5 y cent. or / p cent. below yesterdays
hlrhest rate. The lowest rate was 81 y
cent. against 4 v cent. yesterday.
More attention was paid by spectators 20
the steel stocks than to other Issues. The chief
reason for this was a report that II deal was
maturing for n consolidation OF several OF the
companies whose stocks are dealt In on tho
New York Stock Exchange with the Carnegie
Company. Concerns that were mentioned as
likely to enter the combination are the Amer
lean steel and Wire. the National steel and the
American Tin Plate companies. There were
advances In the stocks Of these three compa-
MES and the stock Of the first named company
was especially active. II was said that the
Federal Steel Company had not up 10 the pres
ent agreed to Join with the others.
BROOKLYN Ravid Transit stock was again
heavily traded in. and an addition Of l point
was made to its price. There we're also liberal
dealings in Manhattan Railway. but it's gain in
price was only fractional. There was less doing
In Metropolitan Street Railway. and IL merely
held its own. Third Avenue Railroad stock
picked up materially on small transactions
There was a decline in American Sugar despite
the announcement OF an advance OF one-eighth
cent q pound In refined sugars. The cut In the
price OF gas 10 80 cents a thousand feet by
the New Amsterdam Company was taken
to mean that the gas war will be a fierce one
while It lasts. There was a reflection OF this
sentiment in n fall in the price OF Consolidated
Gas stock. On the other hand. the stock OF the
PEOPLES Gas Company OF Chicago rose ma
terially in price. Reading. New Jersey Gen.
trail and Delaware and Hudson were offered
down. There were unimportant declines IN
the stocks OF the Granger railroads.

HoOLEY NOT TO ESCAPE.
Government Decides to Prosecute Him
 on Charges of Fraud.

London, April 24.-IU is reported that the treasury intends to proceed with the prosecution of Ernest T. Hooley, the bankrupt sl5cu ator, upon charges of fraud, and. trat two cthers will also be prosecuted.
 In the court of quee n's bench yes terday Senor JuraGo, a Spanish advo- cate residing in London: Sir Henry Isaac LaEego, a Spanish merchant. and stockbroke: by the name or Hart brought a claim for commission for services rendered in introducing Hooley to the Spanish government with the object of raising a Spanish loan Of G3,5O0,O00 It ppeared that in 1870 an issue of Spanish bonds was taken up by the Roths3hilds. In 1896 the Spaniard5 proposed that the ROthschilds renew this loan, which was of e3,5OO,O0O, and upon the Rothschilds' refusal advertised for public tenders. The plaintiffs brought this advertisement to the notice Of Hooley, and he. agreed to advance the money, the plaintiff tc have one-half of the commission. The proposal was accepted, but the matter did not go through, Hooley's banker advising him not to Ike the advance. Tht trustee of Hoo.ey's estate rejected the proofs that the plaintiffs were entitled to judgment.
 Justice Wright said that Hooley-s trustee must abide by the contract. However, its introduction was neec- less and worthless, as he was unable to assess the amount of damages 70 which the plaintiffs were entitled That muais be left to the trustee

DIR. CoNNELL NOT TO COME.
Regent Square Pastor Will Decline the
 Call to Fill Dr. Halls Pulpit.

London, April 24.-The Rev. Alex ander Cornell, pastor of the Regent Square church, will refuse to accept the call from the Fifth avenue Pres byterian church, in New York, as the successor of the late Dr. John Hall. Dr. Connell arrived in London yester- day from China. He learned of the recent death of his father and imme- diately started for his home in Scot land to see his mother.
 Dr. Bell of London said today that Dr. Cornell had several reasons for refusing the call to New York. The chief one was the fact that he had just been appointed convener of foreign missions and had been sent to China to qualify for the position. Con sistently, in honor" said Dr. Bell, ''he cannot now accept the New York calE pr. Cornell is essentially a man of honor. Besides, he recently wrote home saying he was satisfied with the Regent Square church.

Thirty-ffth street, ard rang :n an
 alarm. Then he hurried back to the
 club and notified the attendants that the chimney to the right of the main
 entrance was affre. The eoot in the chimney had caught fire from a grate
 in the smoking room on the first floor.
 Before the firemen arrived dense
 smoke was pouring out of the Opan
 fireplace and the whole lower part of
 the building was soon thick with it.
 The dining room Of the club is on the third floor and the smoke didn't reach it. Members of the club who were on
 the first floor ran out into the street the minute the smoke began to come out of the open fireplace. They met the fire engines arriving.
 The changing of the engines and the yelling of the fremen to the cab drivsrs who lined both sides of Thirty-fOurth street west of Fifth av- enue, created q good deal Of excite ment in the Astoria across the way. The people in the main dining room made for the Thirty-fourth street windows to locate the fire More than a score of nervous guests hurried to the street without waiting for par 
 The firemen got line Of hose into the club in short order, but the water wasn't turned on, as it was seen that the ordinary hand grenade would put out what Ttjle blaze there was. Coal was thrown down the chimney to loosen the smouldering soot, and a half dozen buckets of soot wsre carried to the street. The fremen fingered around the club house for half an hour to make sure that they had ef- feetively put cut the fire The damage will not amount to more than $50.
