NEW YORK, April 2S3-Wall street was
inclined to read the signs of the day as
meaning a little setback In our prosper
ity. The market had an undertone of
depression which did not reach to posi-
tive weakness. A waiting attitude would
be the proper description The reports
Of the commercial agencies for the week
caused feeling that Industrial and trade
activity and business prosperity were not
being fulfilled The suggestions in va
rious fields is that ruling prices are serv-
ing to diminish consumption to an ex-
tent that may necessitate tcurtailment of
production and lowering of prices. The
report for March of the Eehigh Valley
finished the exhibit of unfaVorable re-
suits in the anthracite field. The bank
statement, while a strong one, according
to the ordinary rules of Interpretation,
created an unfavorable impression. Pre-
hmlnary reports of the large inflow CT
currency from the interior were confirm
ed. This view at all events was the
Keynote Of the dropping tendency of
prices, to which there We're not sufficient
exceptions to affect the general tone.
The steel industries were all sufferers

plant of the National Steel company.
me week increase of loans is undoubt-
edly largely due to bofrowing on sterl-
ing collateral. Owing to the cheapness
of money here and the relative dearness
abroad this operation is more profitable
than drawing the exchange This opera
ton, as well as the export of gold, repre-
sents the lending of money to foreign bor
rowers, as the country's foreign trade
continues to accumulate credits in our
favor. Reports of bank clearings do not
warrant the assumption that the return
how of currency is due to diminished
trade activity
New York and Boston are the only
important centers In the country to show
decrease in clearings Nor the week,
compared with last year. The five other

AN event of some Importance during
the week was the export of S500,900 gold
by the National City bank. This was
largely a special transaction, but, at the
same time with the banks gaining from
all sources, interest rates will probably
not go higher, and exports of specie are

1T would be useless to predict the vol

will assume, If. indeed, it continues, but
since money commands better terms
abroad, and there Is certainly a surplus
beyond present needs here, there wou BE-
nothing surprising In a continued moVe-

The summons against Messrs. Gates

under section Gil, of the penal code of
this state, headed, misconduct Of Off

American Steel and Wire company, on
account of the prosperous condition of
the company's business, intended to re-
tire IS. 100000 of preferred stock, out of
Sat, 1000. 000 at par. On account of this
statement Washington Seligman and the
other client of Ward &c Voss bought
Steel and Wire preferred stock. When
Mr.. Gates shut down the company's fac
tories he was quoted as saying that the
affairs of The company were in bad shape,
that only 80 per cent of its products were
contracted for. Then the stock began to
fall Gates is quoted as saying on the
same day that the price of steel rails
would fall to so in week, which it by
no means did. and the men who made the
complaint claim the statement was un-
justifiable.

Bringing the Sea to London.

Another attempt is to be made to bring pure sea water within the reach of Londoners, says the London Tele- graph. It is proposed to tap the chan nel at Lancing, in Sussex, whence the salt waves would be pumped D a lever of nearly 800 feet at the top of Steyn- ing hill. It will then flow by grayita- tion through the main aqueduet to Battersea, and thence across the Thames to Cromwell road, South Ken sington, whence branches are to be laid for service in Paddington and Kensington, Mayfair, Marylebone and the Strand districts, and in Whitehall and Westminster, from a conduit at Charing Cross. It is also proposed to lay another branch main from Far ringdon street to Shoreditch and along the Bethnal Green road to Victoria park. The Builder hopes that the main object of this is to provide for sea water swimming baths in London, which would undoubtedly be an im- meuse boon to the community.

A Mile a Minute.

Sixty miles an hour is the merest commonplace to the mind of the up-to- date railroad man, but it means other things besides those described that are wonderful to the outsider. It means a steam pressure of twenty tons on each piston head every tenth of a second. It means that up in the cab the fire man is throwing into the furnace two- thirds of a ton of coal every hour; one engine burns coal faster than ten men can mine it. It means two quarts of oil every hour to keep her journal box greased and everything running smoothly.

THE RECITAL.

The musical and recital given at Merrill Institute last evening by Mesdames T. r. Gotham. Mary Cum mings Bateman and Miss Lillian Hughes, tf Little Rock, was by far one of the most enjoyable treats our people have had for some time.
 The program was complete in every detail and the appreciation of by the applause after each number. Despite the inelemeney of the weather the attendance was fairly large. In our Sunday society column we shall give more extended notice of this mertorioue entertainment.
