crop advices. While reports as to damage
| to winter wheat are most numerous from
| the Southwest, the influences OF the back
ward season. frost in the ground, and Ctner
unfavorable conditions have tended TO
moderate the hitherto very cheerful tone
of adyices from the spring wheat States.
| This, of course, is more particularly true OF
retail trade. because the wholesale spring
distribution was very large. Other fea-
lures of the week are a further quieting
down of the excitement in iron AMI steel,
though here lack of supplies and not lack
of consumptive demand is assigned as The
chief reason. A strike of iron-ore min rs
in the Lake Superior district seems likely
! TO complicate the ore supply question.
Strikes. involving in all fifteen thousand
men, have been feature of the weeks op-
erations. The boot and shoe industry IS
notable among the trades reporting IN
proved conditions this week. Improved
jobbing demand is coupled with advances
at Eastern markets, due, 1t is explained, to
the higher price of sole leather and other
material. Hides are sympathetically strong
also. Lumber is feeling the influence OF
expanding spring demand at many mar
kets, and prices are very strong. Raw
sugar is in active demand from refners
and higher. also in sympathy with Euro
pean quotations for beet sugar.
The situation in textiles is little changed.
Cotton is slightly lower on fuller crop
movement, but manufactured goods are
finn, though some speculative lots of gray
cottCns have been offered at concessions.
Wool and woolens are rather quiet, though
fall orders for womens wear goods are
encouraging and the raw product is steady,
the view being that the proposed goods
combinations have not got very large sup
plies of wool. The situation as regards
prices is still a very favorable one. the
list of staples remaining steady. being by
far the most numerous, while bank clear
ing statistics, railroad earnings, and all
other obtainable measures of trade prog
ress point to an immense business, specu-
lative and otherwise, having been done
during the first quarter of the year 1899
/ Throughout the West and Northwest, with
few exceptions, complaint is made of un-
seasonable cold weather affecting distrIbu-
tion, particularly at retail.
DRY goods distribution on seasonable
account is less active at the East. notably
| at New York and Baltimore. but a good
volume of fall orders has already been
received. Business failures for the week
number 1870. exactly the same number as
last week. but compare with 220 this week
year ago. 232 in 1897, 231 in 1896. and
225 in 1895.
Weekly bank clearings reflect large
quarterly settlements in a total aggregate
for the week of 81, ,049, $50 900, a gain of per
cent over last week, of 50 per cent over
this week year ago, and of 100 to 1870
per cent over corresponding weeks from
1897 to 1894, inclusive"

The stock market yesterday passed
through what will be considered one of It's
historic days. There was such a tumble
in prices in the morning as comes only
once in years. and there was recovery in
the afternoon so steady and so great as to
be almost as remarkable. Coming at the
end OF declines Of three 10 ten points the
slump yesterday went from two TO twenty
points further in one hour so that the
level at IL O'Clock yesterday was from s.
to $50 share lower than IL was last week
The panic of yesterday will probably be
called trust Friday" or the industrial
panic of 1899" when its causes have been
carefully considered at a distance Briefly,
II may be stated as the fact, already, tnat
the craze TO form trusts, with tremendous
oyer-capitallZations, and the fear of the
banks TO lend money on their securities led
directly 10 the episode Money went up 10
is per cent on Thursday, and TO u per cent
yesterday, and some people could not bor-
row even al this rate on the securities they
had TO Offer And this was despite the
fact that money is more plentiful than II
has ever been before. With this condition
OF things TO face, the holders of the indus
trial shares and Of other stocks that have
had rapid advances in the past month be-
gan on Monday TO sell them out The
movement augmented as il progressed, un-
til yesterday morning brokers were forced
10 sell out stock az any price to protect
themselves as far as possible. There was
many million dollars lost yesterday by
the public and the professional traders. but
IL is certain that brokers also must have
lost heavily in some instances, where they
had not been careful to preserve good
margins under accounts.
The recovery was almost as strong as the
decline had been In few cases of the
railroad shares the closing price for the
day was better than the opening Even In
the industrials and the New York city
street railroads advances of 5 to 10 points
were made so that the close was not far be-

eral Steel last week. or on Monday. After
the twenty and thirtypoint drops they
were anxious to buy stocks again. The
slump was stopped by MIR. Flower in par
ticular. who is said to have purchas ed
$4,000 shares of Brooklyn Rapii Transit at
the bottom. This order acted like wine,
and with the other similar ones that fol-
lowed sent prices up almost as rapidly as
they had tumbled. The outlook is good
The recovery may be attended with occa-
sional recessions before the highest prices
are reached again, but there is little doubt
in most peoples minds that the permanent
upward move has begun. The fact is IN
questionable that the ruination of foolish
people who have been trading on weak
margins will be an excellent thing for the
market, much as the ruined will be unable
to see it in this light. 1t cannot be hoped
that the tumble will teach people lessons,
for the foolish cannot learn. But for a
time at least this crowd will be unable TO
do any more damage by their piunging and
their pyramiding.
