There is no disposition to hquidate
stocks at the present time, and while
the market continues to be controlled
by the professional element no mate
rial change need be looked for
Steel stocks are showing signs of de-
veloping into prominent features of the
market. Both Federal Steel and Steel
and Wire have been well bought OF
late, and people in position to be well
informed regarding both of them, init
mate that they will see higher prices
in the not distant future.
Interests which are bullish on Atchi-
son preferred say that it is going
through stages of progress similar tc
that passed through by the preferred
stocks of the other roads which are
now quoted between rs and so.
1t is reported that the largest copper

Butte and Arcadian Make
Advances While the Other
Stocks Remain Steady.

The Boston market maintained ac-
tivity with several marked features.
Interest did not centre in the copper
shares, and the announcement of the
first step in the combine caused little
variation in prices save that Arcadian
rose from 65 to TO- against highest of
6S1a, and closing at SC Thursday. Butte
was up 8, at los, receding to 104; Isle
Royale rose to 70, later selling at 67A
and still later at 6S12; Old Dominion
lost IL, to AZ IL, with IA rally; Ana
conda fell 1-2, to Ga, rallying IL;
Bingham was ga lower, at IA ga; only
ten shares of Montana sold, at 9S5,
against 8S9 yesterday (ten shares at 8S1
at the close); Calumet was up 3, at $50;
Centennial held at 40; Cochita was &C
tive and rose l SIS, to Is; Mass. lost l,
to Is, but rallied IL; Mohawk lost 1, to
80; Osceola was 2 lower at IS, rallying
1-2; Quincy yielded s. to 165; Santa Fe
held at II; Parrot dropped IL, to 81,
rose to 70, fell back to 81 IL and later
sold at 68; Utah was up IL, at 40 IL,
fell back to At, and in the afternoon
sold at 40; Ysabel softened 1-2, to
IA Ia Iam2r2ck 10, TO 23O; IrlmOun-
tain hardened IA, to Is -; White
Knob gained l Il more, to % 1-2, later
selling at q 3-4; Winona was l lower,
at 16; Wolverine 1-2 lower, at AZ IL.
1t will be seen that no great enthusi-
asm was caused by the announcement
of the combine, although it is but fair
to admit that there was no great rush
to realize either. The street feels that
1t has learned less than it expected,
that the combine is to come out in in
stalments, thus maintaining the ele-
ment of basis for more advance in
certain stocks, and selling to realize
thus is discouraged.
In the general market, Mergenthaler
Linotype attracted attention by a rise
of Is, to 215, a total gain of $33 thus far
this month. Some 5000 shares of Mex

large structural orders, though the
general run of orders in this line is
light and in rails no large sales are
reported. Advanced prices are noted
in pipe and decrease in merchants or
ders, with smaller business in sheets
and at the west in bars pending the
completion of the combination But
the general decrease in new demand
raises the question whether prices will
be maintained after current orders run

DUN's REPORT.

New York, April 2s.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say:
The state of foreign trade justifies
confidence rather than apprehension.
II is the season for lowest exports of
staples and their prices this year are
extremely low, but the Unprecedented
foreign demand for manufactured pro-
ducts so far compensated that the
excess of exports in March was heavy.
In May and June exchange opera
lions against coming crops would COW
er a large adverse balance if, as is
not likely, any should appear. The
presence of English merchants in Bos-
ton trying to sell English medium
wool which could be delivered there
at about 80 cents, at the same time
that English buyers were taking a lit
tie fine territory for export and Ger
man buyers 100000 pounds more Aus
tralian from bond shows the trend of
the popular taste in different coun-
tries.
Clay worsted here has been advanced
~ cents and serges ) cents. which
has given a strong tone to the whole
market. Fine wool is relatively cheap
here and dear abroad. but concessions
make the lowest prices of the year in
all kinds. as heavy stocks carried for
years come into presence of new
wool said to be 300 100000 pounds.
Manufacturers are not now buying

%. .0S5 were domestic, against Il, 721. -

when wool was rising.
The cotton manufacturers have made
little change and the strikes following
the advance in wages given appears
to have benefited manufacturers not
a little by helping the demand and cur
failing the supply Of goods. Cotton is
1-16 lower, with generally improved
prospects for the coming crop. Receipts
