UNDERGONE OF FIRMNESS
Buying in Large Volume in Spite
Of Irregularity.
Striking Advances in the Many Quar-
tiers. With the RAILWAY List Show
ing Marked StrcnRtIi-Thc Indus
trials Somewhat Neglected - The
Pacific stocks in Great Demand.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1i.-Despite GER
tain irresularity of movement. today S
stock market could be described as dis
tinctiy strong, and very striking ad ancas
were shown i'm a number of directions.
The dealings were again in large volume
the trading in the railway shar Gnd the
local traction group altogether over
Swallowed these Of the industri quar- .er
At the opening CT business the sit alton
at large presented no novel dev.l pm nts
Of Importance. American stocks were re-
ported fairly strong in the London mar
ket, with the beginning CT the r,ni. htly
settlement there and foreign houses had
large orders here. although on balance
the results were unirlportant.
The initial prices showed IRE gu ar
changes. but with the course of the morn
ing general strength developed ami TX n
ordinary advances took place in par;icu-
lar stocks. General Electric and Jers V
Central were tie features of the maraet.
A further feature of the dealings was
the unusual activity in both Northern Pa
eific and Un!cn Pacific preferred. The
first named advanced rapidly on very
heavy dealings. AS was to be expec: ed.
rent in connection with the movement in
the stock. although il might be said that
the strength of both Northern and Union
Pacific preferred might readily encugh be
accounted for through simple investment
consideca lions. At the same time the
fact was pointed out as regards Northern
Pacific preferred that the stock is subject
TO retirement at par al any time in the
next seventeen years. and should the
prosperity of the company be maintained
At anything like its present levi. it would
obviously he 10 the interest OF the COM
mon stockholders TO insist that such &C.
tion be taken.
Apart from Northern Pacific. strong and
active features of the railway list were
Atchison preferred. Missouri Pacific, the
Anthracite Coal shares. including On
tario and Western, and PENNSYLVANIA,
Southern Pacific. Norfolk and Western.
and Baltimore and Ohio. The industrial
quarter was comparatively neglected. but
National Tube. Steel Hoop. and American
Steel and Wire were in good request. The
local traction shares all advanced rapidly
In the forenoon on reports that a radical
revision of the franchise law was likely
to be undertaken at the approaching ses-
sion Of the Legislature, but Manhattan
reacted sharply from its high level
In general the dealings were very much
IN line with those Of the past week, with
the exception that operators on the short
side OF the account did not appear to be
satisfied with their position and not only
proceeded with greater caution. but we're
disposed to close out existing contracts.

REAL PROGRESS WAS MADE.
Dun's Review Notes Better Condition of
Stocks Than Year Ago.
The Failures.

New YORK, March 81 r. &. Dun g.
Co. S weekly review of trale, issued to-
day, said in part:
Progress toward better things has
been unmistakable. 1t was year aso
that the frcnzied speculation in indus.
trial stocks reached its elimination with
prices averaging higher than at any
time since, while railroad stock after
some decline rose $l.1S per share higher
in September, and after the fall in both
which ended in December, have now
risen 1886 per share to the highest
point of this year. The advance dur
ing the past week has been remarkably
vigorous, and with more public support
than before.
Wheat exports fall far below last
years, amounting in four weeks to o.
766,S9l bushels, against IA, l05, ,SS6 last
year. The price has advanced pa cents
with statements that the crop of France
is greatly reduced, though it is rather
early TO make any such estimate. The
exports Of corn again prove the magni-
tude Of foreign demand for Ger. jals, as
the extraordinary movement of last year
is closely approached, 11,794,S ,S75 bush
els having gone abroad in four weeks,
against l3, l02, ,S11 last year The west
ern receipts are nearly three times as
large as in the same week last year, in
dicating an abundant supply ON hand,
h1t fha ,,t.ino hos ,.;co,, 1 l. 70
Wool has declined fully cent on the
average of revised quotations, and more
for fleece and fine or fine medium terri
tory, which sells at 50 cents clean, with
medium clothing at 80 cents. The goods
market is quiet and orders are limited,
and outside the favorites prices are If.
regular, with per cent decline in some
medium woolens and fine worsteds.
Iron is growing weaker, except in Bes.
semer pig, which is held at $24.90 at
Pittsburg, in spite of small sales of east.
ern at lower figures. Anthracite No.
has sold little above $23.00, and basic at
S22.50, with eastern forge offered at
$50. 80 at Pittsburg
In finished products no further change
appears except i'll refined bars, which
sell in large orders close to 2 cents at
Philadelphia, and plates which are sell.
ing at cents or less at both markets.
Better prices are expected from the
consolidation in sheets. But it will not
be easy nor in the end profitable to hold
prices after supplies so far exceed de.
mand that material can be bought al
lower cost.
Transactions through clearing house:
show a much smaller volume of busi
ness than year ago, the daily average
for March being 14.3 per cent smaller
than last year, but 34.4 per cent large
than in 1898.
Failures for the week were 203 in tn,
United States, against 1874 last year, an(
33 in Canada, against 20 last year.

DINGLEY TARIFF
THE WRONG BASIS.
Assertion of Porto Ricon Who Says
Present Bill Is Crime Against
Capital and Labor.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 2.-Mr.
W. 7. Townes, president of the Porto
Ricon Tobacco company, who already
had declared that the proposed tariffs
would keep Porto Rico out of the Amer
can market, and that as the result of it
she would sell to Europe, China and
Japan, instead Of the United States, de.
clared that 10 per cent of the Dingley
rates would prohibit Porto Ricon manu-
factured tobacco selling i'll the United
States. The raw leaf would pay an
average of 514 cents per pound, and fin
ished goods 17l6 cents per pound. This
would be discriminating in favor of the
United States manufactures to the ex-
tent of $725 on each 1000 pounds.
"Skilled labor" he said, sis higher
here than in the United States, and the
passage of the proposed bill would do an
injustice to the Porto Ricon manufact-
urer. 1t would be crime against the
labor and capital of Porto Rico. If con-
gress is sincere in its purpose only to
raise revenue for the island, it cannot
honestly take the Dingley bill as basis
The differential rate between finished
and raw products will protect the United
States manufacturer, but slaughter the
Porto RicOn,"

the state officers and by most of the
prominent men of the state.

REV. DIR. HILLS RESIGNS.
He Sent Letter Asking to BE Allowed
to Withdraw From the Pres
byterian Church.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The resignation
of Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of
Plymouth church. Brooklyn, from the
Chicago presbytery, and the request
that he be allowed to demit from the
Presbyterian church, was placed before
the annual meeting of the Chicago pres
bytery No action will be taken ON the
matter for two weeks, the committee to
which DIR. Hills letter of resignation
was referred for consideration request
ing that much time on account of the
many important interests involved, and
being unwilling to take hasty action ON
n matter so important to the Presby-
terian churth.
DR.. Hills resignation was in the
form of letter to DIR. w. @. Gray, edi-
lor of The Interior, and a personal
friend of the Brooklyn pastor, and when
the aged divine stepped upon the plat =
form to present the letter to the Chi
cago presbytery, the auditorium of Oil
vet Memorial church, in which the
meeting was held, was crowded to the
doors, nearly every Presbyterian minis
ter i'll Chicago being present.
