WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
THE STORMY WEATHER RETA RIDING
SPRING DISTRLBUIION.
An Irregular Appearance Impaired to
General Trade-GeneraI Commercial
situation, However, Continues to Pre-
sent Much Apparent Strength.

New York, March 24.-Bradstreet's
Tomorrow will say: Stormy weather,
retarding spring distribution in some
sections has impaired an irregular ap-
pearance to general trade, while some
few reductions in prices of leading sta
pies, notably raw cotton and wool, cop
per and some few other metals, serve
to break the otherwise almost unvary-
ing appearance of strength of staple
values. The general commercial stua-
ton, however continues to present
much apparent strength. The see-saw
of wheat prices has been upward this
week. Better weather at the south
finds reflection in larger receipts of cot
ton, and the result is a fractional shad-
ing of prices. Coffee is slightly lower
on the week, while the high price of
copper seems at last to be affecting de-
mand, with the constant drop in value
of that metal sympathzed in by de-
clines in tin and lead. The iron situa-
ton is still one of great strength, al
Tie VOlulIie OL DuSlllSoo 10 Soli-
cededly smaller than for some weeks
past, and one grade of pig, Bessimer, is
lower on the week. Nearly every other
grade Of pig iron is higher. Steel bill
let's and rails are firmly held and nearly
all classes Of finished material are high
er than at any time recently. The boot
and shoe situation is quite encouraging.
Hides, though dull are firm and the
same is true of leather Cotton goods
retain all their old strength, though
somewhat quieter in demand. The talk
of combination in the manufacturing
branch of trade has seriously unsettled
the price of raw wool, which is weak
and lower. Sugar is unchanged. Lum-
Der Is higher at nearly all markets.
While actual advances in wages are
as yet confined to the cotton manu-
featuring and iron and steel industries,
the number of operatives who have
gained some advantage from the activ
ity in all industrial lines totals easily
100000.

The Stock Market

Inc STOCK Market.
New York, March 24.--The fact that
money was slightly easier to-day, call
rates ranging from 4 to AZ per cent,
lent confidence to operators and gave
the market a strong tone most of the
day. Another important influence on
quotations was the prediction that be-
cause of the curtailment in loans sup
posed to have taken place this week the
banks would be able to show an increase
in surplus reserve. Buying of Brook
Ign Rapid Transit, which lifted it 5k,
and Peoples Gas, which gained nearly
point, had a sentimental influence be-
cause of the prominence of the parties
concerning in recent opening for rise.
The railways were not as active as yes
terday in the dealings. but the gran
gers improved fractionally and the Pa
cifics were trifle higher Consolidated
Gas lost S% and Third Avenue points
on the fear that they woulu not secure
desired legislation. There were frac-
tional losses in Metropolitan Railway
and Continental Tobacco, while in Su-
gar the loss was IL.
Among the coalers Lackawanna and
Jersey Central rose over a point each;
the Readings were practically unchang-
ed. Among the railways Southern pre-
ferred, Louisville and Atchison improv-
ed over a point each. The activity in
Louisville started in London and arous-
ed brisk local demand. The explana-
lions that the Westinghouse suits
against the General Electric company
were OF friendly nature continued to-
day to benefit General Electric, which
rose point. Rubber and Chicago Ter
minal were also gamers Of over a point
each.
A good business was transacted in
bonds to-day, the aggregate being 49,
$4,000. Prices moved up pretty gener-
ally, with decided strength in incomes

what Did lie Mean

Joe SmOthers, a negro tobacco hand,
is in Jail charged with attempting to
enter the dwelling house of Mrs Sue
Wright about o'clock on Monday
night last. His boisterousness at the
front door Of Mrs. Wright and the cry
of the lady occupants within attracted
to the scene Mr.. r. n. Foster, who has
tened for police officer Orange. When
Mr. Orange reached the hou.e Smoth-
ers was still trying to gain admittance
to the house saying to Mrs. Wright
and her daughter, Mrs. +. F. Pitney,
that unless they opened the door at
once he would break through. As
soon as Smothers espied the policeman
he jumped from the porch TO the
ground, a distance Of twelve or fifteen
feet. He ran and attempted to hide I'm
the doorway of a house in the back
yard but the policeman was soon upon
him. Sm0thers resisted arrest and
with an oath declared he would not 90
to Jail, but after one or two persuasive
licks across the head his mind was
changed and then he began to plead
with the officer to protect him from
lynching. He begged to be released
assuring the policeman that he would
never be seen i'm Farmville again. He
was asked what he meant by trying to
get in the house, but would make no
ineligible response 1t is thought by
some that Smothers was drunk and
was at the time ignorant Of the place
he was at. On the other hand the
policeman says he did not appear to
be drunk and in the jump from the
porch to the ground he lit upon his
feet, retained his equilibrium and ran
to the rear of the house. An examina-
ton will be made in the case this morn
inn
