 New York. May 4-Bradstreets review of the New York stock market tomorrow will say:
 A further diminution of activity and fall ing off in the publc's interest and partici- patton in speculation were the features Of the stock market this week. The volume of transactions was small and would have been almost insignificant but for the man. ipulation which has kept up in Amsrtcan Sugar and the somewhat similar proceed iEgs in Missouri Pacific
 Apart from the above, the principal note- worthy circumstances was the continued heavy tone of industrials and the readiness of the steel stocks in particular ts 5eH off either on liquidation or bearish attacks.
 But for the covering of short contracts there would seem to be very little 1~pport in that portion of the market, and tho ad- verse influence in the industrials. of course, again aided in creating a weak tone in the railroad share list, except where mapipula- tive support was extended. There were no declines of great importance here and the market was comparatively indifferent to the engagement and shipment abroad of s2,6000O0 gold.
 Money is easy and the steady increase in the national bank circulation under the new financial law justifes the conclusion that the transfer of a certain amount of gold to London and Paris this spring will have no bad effects on the situation here The London market, it may be observed, is in a state of inaction, closely resembling what prevails here, and gold shipments, troubles among industrials and sagging of the rail- road stock list have checked the foreign disposition to buy American stocks. The European participation in the market here was on the whole adverse to our market
 Some attention is given to political mat ters, though the street is not as yet inclined to consider the approaching presidential canvass factor in the market, although in some quarters it is claimed that the dull ness which has often prevailed at such peril ods Is already beginning to assert itself. Views of this kind, however do not find general assent, and it would appear that large interests are firmly holding railroad securities in large blocks, with a view to further advance in all income yielding stocks when the liquidation in industrials has spent its force and the expansion of the circulation has its due effect on money rates and the financial situation throughout the country

to bring out much new business At the end of last week cut nails were reduced 45 cents per keg, and in plates and bars somewhat lower prices have been report ed. Prices for sheets have not yet been named, but in pipes and tubes there Is some yielding. Not a sale of Bessemer pig is reported, the association still asking $24 90, while eastern pig is offered at Pitts burg below $23 and local forge is lower at $2o, with eastern at $l9.75. Chicago local coke has declined 50 cents and southern also. Eastern markets are irregular, with growing belief that output exceeding consumption will reduce prices until the demand again expands. There are large foreign contracts for pig pending, and inn portant sales of finished products for ex- port have been made. The close of the wool year has come without the scarcity which some expected, but with the average or quotations by Coats Brothers reduced in April about cent The market for goods, excepting the most favored staples, has been so far unsettled and irregular as to give small encouragement for buying wool at current prices. Cotton goods have also shown similar weakness in transactions for future delivery, and new business Is narrow Until prospects for the new crop are more settled, the pressure Of English spinners for supplies tends strongly to hold up prices here, though foreign mill stocks are now heavy.
 April exports of breadstuffs have been large both wheat and corn surpassing last years record Atlantic exports of wheat in five weeks, flour included. have reached il 0SO 9O3 bushels apainst 107f4,79S last year. Pacific exports. 3,5l3.250 bushels. against 9 O90 737 last year. and corn exports. 15.T13,- 997 against 12 TAO 942 last year. In spite Of conflicting stories the movement of wheat from the farms continues larger than year ago. The price closed as it opened, while corn declined cents.
 All exports from New York in four weeks have been 334 per cent or over $11 .000,0o0 larger than last year. and with the gain of s15. .OO0 in cotton from other points the months aggregate for merchandise should rise above hundred millions. Imports now show a small gain. but hardly exceed Sio- 100000.
 Failures for the week have been 1o9 in tbe Tinted States against 15S last year. and 25 in Canada against g last year

Bell Tower and some others, has since
the year 1882 been plastered over at
various times with Roman cement, into
which shallow portions of flint have
been specifically embedded. This was
in rough imitation of the old solid flint
work of ancient times, which actually
formed parts of walls, and is seen in per-
fectlOn in St. SaViOur'S, Southwark: and
as it was calculated to deceive, and be-
came dangerous through its rottenness
the fiints falling, and SO ont was al
removed. The lower portion of the
Tower, built of square blocks of ashlar
stone, has had a lot of superfuOus
Roman cement stripped from it. and
looks somewhat homogeneous in compar-
ison with the upper part; but that is
unavoidable, and may in a measure yet
be remedied.
Reservations and repairs have often
been carelessly done in much earlier
years. For instance, the doorway that
led from Raleigh'S Walk directly to the
room in the Bloody Tower. in which the
infant princes were supposed to have
been murdered, had been bricked I'D
from the inside to give support to a
portion of the Tower This has all been
removed and the Tower strengthened in
more AreVerential way. The old oak
door, with its heavy fastenings which
had been covered by the wall, lies now
on its side on the wall, and when
the rottenness at the bottom is repaired
is to be restored to its place. 1t was
through this doorway that Dighton,
Forest and Tyrell- are said to have pass
ed to their fearful Work Raleigh, Gran
mer and Ridley have certainly passed
through it when prisoners here in the
Tower, and Cranmer often, when be
daily took his dinner with the 1ieuten-
ant of the fortress. So say the author
tiles. Portions of the old houses which
are to be seen above that part of the
battlements known as Queen Elizabeth's
Walk, which connects the Bell and
Beauchamp towers. are also undergoing
restoration. 1t is said that Queen Eliz-
/ abeth used this walk when she was a
/ prisoner in the Bell Tower, hence its
! name. The old houses had sunk quite
| fifteen inches. and had to be raised to
/ their proper height by hydraulic means.
Had they not been seen to in time they
would in all probability have tumbled
down and buried the esteemed lieuten-
ant of the Tower, who lodges in them,
in their ruins.

DIAZ,S VICTORY.
Celebrated With Pomp and Ceremony
at Mexican Canital

City OF Mexico April 3.-Yesterday'S
anniversary of the victory of the Mexi-
can army commanded by Gen Porfirio
Diaz over the imperialist forces at
Fuebla, thirty-three years ago was OBJ
served as a general holiday, the public
buildings being decorated handsomely.
The Gay was celebrated by military
manoeuvers on the plains of San Laz-
arus near the city in the presence of
President Diaz and hundreds of dis
tinguished guests, cabinet ministers,
visiting Americans and Spaniards. The
president, dressed in the uniform
of a general of division and ac-
companied by a brilliant staff, reviewed
troops which were composed of several
brigades of infantry, batteries of artil
lery and battalionS of sappers and
miners and the Chapultres military
academy cadets, handled by Gen.
Bernado Reyas, minister of war.
Bankers regard the presidents mes
sage 70 congress as strong financial
document. The Mexican Herald says
1.-THE holders of Mexican bonds will
find cause for congratulation in the so
lidity of the country'S financial position
and lovers of progress will see in the
/ devoted care given to education an evil
dence of true enlightenment No cause
! is closer to the heart of the president
! and his advisers than that of the public
schools Mexico has demonstrated that
! the government owned telegraphs can be
| made successful. The administration of
that branch of the service is excellent
1.-THE postoffice also shows a gain and
| in these ways one may test with Scien-
| tific accuracy the activity of the bust
| ness movement here.
