IRREGULARITY IN
STOCK DEALINGS
Temper of the Market Was Ex-
tremeIy Professional
LODAY'S BANK STATEMENT
Was Anticipated as Unfavorable, and
Losses Predominated-Bo Bond Market
Lacked Decisive Tone, Though I'm
dereurrent Was Healthfll.

New York. April 2s.-Irregularlty pervaded
today's dealings on the stock exchange,
and the temper of the market was ex-
tremey professional resulting in irregular
changes with losses predominating. Lon
don traded both ways and commission
house business was ON a very restricted
scale.
Traders were disposed to let stocks go in
anticipation of an sunfavorable bank state-
ment tomorrow and one of the large OPP
orators changed tactics and took the other
side. Forecasts of the bank statement are
usually unreliable, but; the bank reports for
the week seemed to indicate "a loss in cash
on all accounts of nearly 3,5OO,OO0.
Anaconda Mining Infatuated widely, end
ing with net gain of nearly 8 points, on
the announcement of the large copper
combination. Silver certificates sold at CSC
at one time, the highest price recorded in
a long time. The passage of the franchise
tax bill by the legislature was responsible
for weakness in most of the local stocks,
there being declines of 8 points in the
Brooklyn Union Gas, 314 IN Metropolitan,
nearly as much in Consolidated Gas and
sharp break in Manhattan, although it
left off only 1Ssc down; Third Avenue, on
the contrary, rose 8 points,
tan was the adverse report of the board of
health on its Ninth avenue structure. The
announcement of a settlement OF a litiga-
ton held Brooklyn Transit up, in spite OF
the weakness in similar shares generally
and the stock gained over point Elk
cepting Colorado Fuel and Iron, improve
ment was noted in the iron and steel prop
critics. Other strong spots were New Jer-
sey Central, Iowa Central and Northern
Pacific.
The general railway list was inclined to
droop on moderate dealings. The market
closed heavy.

tone, but the undertone of the market was
healthful and some issues were in keen

Paine. Murphy q Co.'s Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
Birmingham, April 2S.-Wheat showed an
undertone of strength this morning, but it
lacked support by the trade in general
The profit buying was for account of local
traders who were short over night and
when 1T finished, a slight decline SET in.
There was little If any news from the sea-
board early. Clearances were not large,
but reports from winter wheat countries
were to the effect that drought still contin-
ues and crops are affected. The modern
Miller reports are construed as bearish and
yet not taken much notice of. The news
is much the same as previously reported
and keeps the market in state of nerv-
BUSINESS. Corn was rather weak. Some or
oers to buy at the decline; receipts small
ana ought to increase some with good
weather. Provisions dull and unchanged
to shade lower.

Paine, Murphy q Co.'S Stock Letter

BY Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
Birmingham, April 28.-The stock market
opened with dealing in moderate volume
and showing a good deal of irregularity.
IndustIdas were the most active of local
transportation companies and in few of
the specialties. feature of the market
was Manhattan, which broke over 3 per
cont. on very large dealings. The selling
was due to the preliminary report of the
board Of health upon portion of the COM
pany's elevated lines. The other weakness
In Brooklyn was attributed to reminders
that Quinn litigation would be pushed to
finish. Anaconda Mining was exceedingly
active and advanced on the announcements
of the information of the Montana copper
companies getting together. The entire
list was dull. Anticipations of a close
money market conditions induced some
selling and the Burlington statement was
disappointing. Early in the afternoon, how
ever, flrmer tone appeared. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit advanced and the Union and
Northern Pacifics were firm. Sugar rallied
towards the close. London is not cutting
much figure just now

COTTON MARKET T"
WAS BULLISH
Selling Orders Followed By an
Avalanche of Buying Orders.
NEAR-AT-HAND DELIVERIES
Advanced With Rush With August
in the Lead-A Partial Reaction
Under Good Weather Fore
casts-Close Steady

New York April 2S.-After an irregular
start, the cotton market developed bullish
inclinations this morning and showed a
very steady undertone during the rest of
the session.
As natural result of disappointing ca
bles, estimates for>an exceptionally large
movement at southern points and distinctly
bearish news regarding crop progress, the
market opened barely steady The selling
orders which appeared on the call were
followed by quite an avalanche of buying
orders, the bulk of the latter coming from
summer months shorts, who had taken
fright at rumors of an amicable settle
ment of the Philippine troubles. Reports
that the government statement for Msy
could prove less favorable as regards the
! acreage question than heretofore expected
and evidences that the Liverpool bear ele-
ment were apprehensive of manipulation
on this side.
August advanced to 1894 with rush, with
the rest of the near-at-hand deliveries
close followers. The far months MANIFESTED
relatively this strength, owing to scatter
ing orders from some local traders. Later
in the forenoon there was partial reac-
ton under good weather forecasts fhe
close was steady, with prices points nigh
er to points net lower.

State Treasury in Good Condition.

The board of Sinking Fund Com
missioners, at Il meeting held Mon
day, decided to advertise for the pur-
chase of S115, 900 of century bonds.
These, with the $114. 900 bought last
mouth, make $229,0O0 purchased
within a short time.
This is an evidence that the finan-
cial affairs of the Commonwealth are
in good condition. The fiscal year of
the State ended last Saturday, and
the condition OF the treasury is knowa
to be much better than it was year
ago. Among the factors that have
contributed to this result are the
large increase in receipts from delin-
quent lands, the reduction in crimi-
nal expenses, and the $4,000 profit
realized from the oyster industry,
which has hitherto brought the State
in debt.
The law directs the Board of Sink
ing Fund Commissioners to invest
such surplus funds Of the State as in
their judgement can be spared in
Virginia bonds which are held to Sc
cure the payment of interest on out
standing securities. These are the
first purchases since 1894. The bonds
will be held in reserve, and If at any
time the expenditures of thu State
80 nearly exhaust the revenues as not
to leave enough to meet the interest,
they will be sold and the proceeds
applied to the interest account.
The $4,000 of centuries bought
last month cost the Commonwealth
$99,l23.

The names of our democratic nomi-
nees for the Legislature appear at the
head of our columns this week. That
they will be our next representatives
and be worthy of the trust commit
ted to them will not be questioned.
Two OF them are too we'll known to
our readers, and their fitness for the
position to which they will be elected
TOO we'll recognized, to require a
notice or any commentator at our
hands. The other, Mr.. Donahoe, has
the reputation of having qualifca-
lions which especially fit him for the
duties of a legislator, and that hon
esty of purpose, which gives us the
assurance that we will be we'll served
by him. 1t is safe to predict, We be-
lieve, that neither will be the tool OF
any man, or SO far forget his duty to
his constituents, that in case OF a
conflict of views between them, that
he will not be willing to subordinate
his will to their wishes.
