ing crop caused the recession. Yet COM
plants of serious injury are numerous
and the export inquiry has been very
good. The feeling is bullish, and until
there is a reasonable assurance of a faY-
orable start for the yet implanted spring
wheat crop, the market appears a pref
~ safe purchase on weak spots. Opera
tors, however, should be ready 60 accept
moderate profits, as so far there does not
seem anything to warrant much of a

BANKER CLEW's VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seer
From Wall Street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen
From Wall Street.
New York, April 22.-Tn the
absence of acute excitement in
the industrials, somewhat more attention
has been given to the railroad list, and an
improved feeling has prevailed in that
branch of operations. But, while the mar
ket has been fairly well sustained. it has
not been particularly animated. The re-
ports of damage to the wheat crop have
given courage to the bear side and les
sened the ardor of their opponents. There
is a disposition on the part of the aggres-
sive operators to await definite informa-
ton as to the winter wheat. At present
the reports regarding it are more or less
conflicting. There Is no question. how
ever, that it will prove bad enough; still,
it must be considered that there will be a
very large amount of wheat carried over
from the last crop and the increase of
acreage will give an ample supply for ex-
port. home consumption and seeding. Be
sides, there remains still the open question
as TO spring wheat. The spring crop gen.
orally expands as the winter contracts,
and that of lasD year reached 295, 000 coo
bushels, or 100000 bushels more than
the output of 1897
The money market has settled into con-
dition of greater ease, which appears like
ly to continue until the fall months. The
treasury has so arranged its Withdrawals
from the depository banks in connection
with the payment to Spain, as to cause
the minimum of disturbance. The with
drawal of 81 100000 a week is a compare
lively light affair, when it is considered
that the governments excess of payments
over receipts will cause the return of part
of the money to the banks. The money
markets of the interior are generally easy,
and stiff rates here would be apt to bring
currency this way all the more rapidly.

Harpers for May is a particularly good
number. Among the articles are the fol-
lowing: 1.-THE Civil Service and Colonial
tion," by Francis Newton Thorpe; Cath
crime Carr story, by Mary e. wilkins;
Our War Correspondents in Cuba and
Porto Rico" by Richard Harding Davis
"a Sketch by MacNeil," by Frederic Rem
ington, illustrated by the author, and
keeping House in London" by Julian
Ralph, illustrated by A. r. Sterner. In
THE Birth of the American Army Mr..
Horace Kephart shows the part which
the backwoodsmen played in the making
of the nation. He shows that the first
American soldiers were backwoodsmen of
the Misunderstanding type, and that the
long pea rifle, which was their accustom-
ed weapon, was an important factor In
colonial successes. 1t is safe to say that
the story of Mary E. wilkins is one of
the best from her pen thus far. 1t Is a
story of how a little Tory girl, for the
sake of her lover in the American army.
forswore her allegiance to King George,
outwitted a British squadron, prevented
the destruction of a Connecticut town.
and by the cleverest of stratagems saved
her lovers life. Catherine Carr is one
of the best stories of the month. Harper
Brothers, New York.
