DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, April Pr. G.. Dun
6 Co.'s weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
Gold begins to go abroad and prices
of iron products break sharply in the
same week. Four months of the new
year have passed and business does
not SO expand as to need the large
increase OF circulation which the new
monetary bill has permitted, nor
enough to sustain all the ~extraordin-
airy advance in prices last year. The
abundance of gold and of currency,
and the large disbursements by the
treasury in exchange OF bonds have
rendered rates for money unusually
low for the season here, while rare
industrial and speculative security in
Europe, with the war in South At
RIGA, have tended to make money
dearer abroad. So new gold from
Alaska answer the loss of supply
from the Transvaal and America
builds up it's credits abroad, a breast
work against p%rostration in future
here, as in the past, caused by the
troubles in Europe.
The-reaction in prices came where
it was expected least, in the industry
more fully organized than any other
to check competition and in the
branch, which, through contracts COW
ering rod-making and other machin-
cry, n through patents, seemed
more fully controlled than any other.
Reduction of $40 per ton in wire nails,
barbed wire and galvanized fence, and
SIS in smooth wire, showed that no
control can afford to hold prices so
high as to check consumption. In a
week the prices of iron products nave
declined 5.86 per- cent, and since Feb
ruary Z, 10 $40 per cent
AS the wire and nail prices have
been relatively the highest, others in
the iron and steel industry can be ex-
pected to fall in like measure. But
pig iron is weaker. No. 1 local coke
at Chicago $3.50, and Southern pig is
also lower. Plates and bars can be
obtained for about Is cents in good
contracts both at the east and at Pitts
burg, the proposed advance in sheets
to $40 cents has not been attempted,
and cut nail mills, which have gained
much by selling at 70 cents per keg
below wire nails, will now lower prices
also. The stoppage of a dozen wire
and nail mills besides rod mills at
Joliet and another of the National Steel
Company, indicates some change IN
the actual demand. In the minor
metals the only change has been in
tin, which declined rather sharply to
2S%c in sympathy with lower London
quotations.
Failures for the week have been
204 in the United States, against 1S4
last year, and p in Canada, against %
last year.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, April 27.-There was a
change of sentiment to the bull view
to-day and the news was encouraging
to that way of looking at the wheat
situation. Wheat closed h@%c high
er; corn B@Ac to Nose up, and
oats unchanged to h@Ac lower. Pro-
visions closed 2Akc to 10@12kc i'm
proved. Trade in all the pits was
rather quiet, with spots of activity in
wheat and corn.
The wheat market opened A@3sc
over yesterday because of higher
cables from Liverpool and the Argen-
tine shipments, which showed a de-
crease of over 1000, 600 bushels last
week. There was a shifting of senti-
ment apparent early. and it grew as
the session progressed. The talent has
been bearish for months and very much
disposed to hearken to Liverpool.
Also they were saturated with the Oft
repeated reports of the wonderfully
good condition of home crop prospects.
To-day the talk was that Liverpool
had been wrong on cotton and that it
did not seem to show a proper respect
for the American market fluctuations.
Instead it acted very Independently.
Accordingly the talk to-day was that
the English market as a maker of Chi
a g quotation could go hang. The
locals had other things to think about.
Accordingly consideration was given
the poor showing of Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan and the probability of 25 per
cent. of a crop in these States discuss
ed; the report of the hessian fly in
Illinois was listened to seriously, and
the reports that apprehension over the
dry winds in France was felt in that
country and that Argentine arrivals
from the interior were l%essening, were
given due consideration. The result
was a firm if quiet market. There was
considerable changing at 15sc differ
ence between May and July. The ship
ping demand was slack and the export
inquiry poor, New York having five
loads for export. Atlantic port clear
ances in wheat and flour were equal to
414,000 bushels. Primary receipts were
PAT, 900 bushels, against $4,000 a year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
207 cars, compared with 262 last week
and 296 a year ago. Local receipts
were 20 cars, two of contract grade.
May opened at 65%@65%c, sold be-
tween $3.50 and 66Bc. and closed 40
sc over yesterday at Co.'S @66c. July
opened at 67A@67kc, sold between
67H@67Ac and 67Ac. closing k@%c
up at 67k@67%c.
The corn market was quiet but firm.
A good business was done, but it was
without special feature. Liverpool was
higher on small stocks, Argentine ship
ments were smaller; country offerings
light, and there was some reports of de-
layed planting, although rains have
generally ceased. Receipts here were
202 cars. May ranged from $3.50
1850 to 40@40hc. and closed H@Ac
higher at s39% @ssxc; July ranged
from zoA@ zo%c to AH0 l1xc. aud

Stocks-Yesterday's show of strength
in stocks was d~issipated in the course
of to-day's trading on the exchange.
The market opened quite generally
higher and an attempt was made to
continue the upward rush in Pennsyl-
yania and B. & o. 1t was very soon
found, however, that the general de-
mand for stocks was quite insignificant
at the higher level of prices, yester-
days operations having been so far
diminished the short interest that the
demand from that source was no longer
an effective support. In Sugar, espec-
tally, yesterdays urgent demand from
the shorts was decidedly relaxed. The
price was run up after the opening to
1895, but the realizing sales from buy
ers on the recent advance overpowered
the stock. 1t got back once again
above last nights close and then fell
an extreme 6B with a feverish and I'M
certain rally. There was the same alb
enc of authentic news concerning the
stock as on the advance and it's move
ment was due entirely to technical
causes. The same was true of the gen.
eral market. The reaction was due to
the general recognition that yester-
days sharp advance was due to a de-
mand from an over extended short in
terest. Some effort was made to COM
bat the reaction by bidding up differ
ent stocks. There was a show of
strength at different periods in the
Tobacco stocks, the Leather stocks,
Brooklyn Transit and New York Cen
trail, but these manoeuvres proved un-
ava!ling to hold the market. The
opening strength was due in no small
part to the buying for London account,
which amounted to 5000 or $4,000
shares. The railroad earnings reported
for the day were on the side of reac-
ton. st. PauPs net earnings for March
fell off by reason of the high level of
operating expenses. The statement of
the Reading Company and New Jersey
Central forNthe same period were dis
tinctly weak. Following the Ontario
& Western statement of yesterday, the
reactionary tendency in the anthracite
group is sufficiently explained. The
probability of a favorable bank state
ment tomorrow, failed to help the
market. The gains in cash from in
terror sources are expected to show an
increase of nearly $4,000, 900 over last
weeks gain from the same source, but
on the other hand the gains from the
sub-treasury by the banks have fallen
of almost as much from last week.
On yesterdays operations the banks
lost to the ~sub-treasury some S33S, 900,
and that institutions debit balance at
the clearing house to-day was again be-
low $500, 900.
The decline in the government bond
refunding operations has evidently
about brought to an end the process
Of disbursement to the money market
by the suD-treasury. The weeks gain
by The banks in cash is, however, near
$1,000, 900, thus promising an increase
in the surplus even though the loan
expansion has been quite liberal. No
gold was engaged for export to-day,
which was according to expectations.
Whethpr there win be a further move

EDITOR BANNER-We note in your
last issue an article calling the atten-
tion OF the farmers to the fact that
Belding is an excellent market, and
referred to the Weter-Wise Co. offer
ing S4.35 a bushel for farmers clover
seed. We think the city OF Belding is
composed of about as good lot of
business men to deal with as can be
found this side of the Rocky Noun
tains, but there is one point we would
like explained in regard to the price of
clover seed. We note in the market
report in the last issue Of the Michigan
Farmer they quote clover seed at S5. 20
f9d 1915 for March delivery We
also note wheat at 20 cents aud quoted
at GA cents in Belding. They are both
of the same weight and the cost is
about the same to put them on the
Detroit market. But still the Weter-
Wise Co. would like a margin of pro-
fits before freight and commission is
paid, OF 81. 30 per bushel. T.. T.. Chap
pie will handle wheat on margin of
six cents on the bushel. We think the
Weter-Wise Co. is getting rather more
than their share out of the seed they
purchased of the Greenvile Granger.

as courageous as Mr.. Clapperton bu
his sentiments found response in the
hearts of most OF his hearers at least.
Hon. w. w. Wedemeyer OF Anr
Arbor spoke eloquently for the young
Republicans and promised victory in
the coming conflict.
Homer Warren sang the "Sword
OF Bunker HILL" in an inspiring man
ner, and previous to doing SO made
several happy hits in reference to the
several would-be governors present.
1--WE thought we had the Ferry ideal
candidate in Detroit" he declared.
1--WE realized it might be Ste(a)rn(s)
Chase, but know that however it may
result there will be Bliss in the Re-
publican party. cannot continue this
argument, however, unless sing, Jim
mie Dear and The Campbells are
Coming.
''The Business Man in Politics, was
the toast assigned to Hon. d. M. Ferry,
whose response was listened to with
keen interest. 1t was plain, straight
forward business mans statement Of
the issues, and OF his position thereon,
he being in no sense an orator He
was greeted with applause, as was his
allusion to Sec. Alger, whose illus
trious name, he said will never be for
gotten.
In discussing the "Abdicaton OF
Sovereignty, Hon. f. A. Monnet, OF
Ohio, devoted his thoughts largely to
an arraignment OF railroads for dis
eliminating freight rates, which places
the hardships upon the shoulders OF
the small shipper.
Chase S. Osborn came next on the |
program, his subject being "Citizen-
ship and Politics. The eloquent
railroad commissioner was at his best
and he was listened to with close at
tention and interest.
Milo d. Campbell, the present chair
man OF the tax commission and exin-
surance commissioner had for his
topic "The Republican Party, its Un-
ended Mission" 1t was delivered with
all the characteristic vim and energy
for which he is so we'll known and was
devoted largely to the equal taxation
question which he declares to be chief
among those missions.
This ended the regular program but
Hon. Jas. O'Donnell peing present was
called for and he seemed to be pre-
pared for such an emergency. He de
,lared that equal taxation. the currency4
and the trusts were the real issues,
md that the Republican party is we'll
prepared to meet them. He prodded
Bryan who had declared that the gold
tandard would fill the streets with
he unemployed, but the conditions
we're the reverse. Bryan also said
lnder the gold standard we would not
lave money enough to do business
With; but under Mckinley prosperity
he money of the country had expand ,
ID four hundred and twenty-nine mil
ions of dollars, all good the world over
All joined in singing "The Battle
Try of Freedom" which closed this
brilliant event. \
At the business meeting VIM. X.
lutte was elected president and Henry
+. Horrigan secretary for the ensuing
ear. The vice presidents and COM |
littees will be appointed. '
