AS Received by the House of Prince &

New York, April 30.-Our market
opened with very heavy transactions
and at large advances in almost every
position. This was predicted on strong
cables and continuation of normal de-
velopments of affairs at home. With
out doubt profit taking was on "a large
scale and temporary recessions took
place; in the main however the UNDER
current remained a good one and In
many cases higher prices are confident
ly looked for. The money market does
not change much. rates for call money
are per cent. and for time IL to 5
per cent, according to collateral. For
eign exchange very dull and trifle
lower at 4s5 and 1888 to Is.
Such railway earnings as were report
ed to-day show satisfactory results
The London market during the day be-
came buoyant for Americans with con-
soils higher and money easier.
Our commercial markets are becom-
ing more active principally on good
foreign demand. Speculatively they
are as yet neglected, but since basic
conditions are good and prices not high
there is no disturbance to be feared
from that quarter
AS the day wore on and through
heavy realization recessions took place
in individual stocks others became
strong at marked advances, In other
words the same characteristics as of
late remain prevalent.
The coal properties which were neg
lected for so long period are now be-
ginning to show more activity; an adj
vance in coal prices tomorrow should
be further incentive for an advance
The Vanderbilt properties showed
great strength in the afternoon hours
and were well bought
Exports of merchandise from New
York for week ending to- day were val
ued at $11,SS7,253 against $11,40S,975

The wheat market was easier for the
greater part of the day sentiment how

Cotton was weak early, but the I'M
DERIVING conditions are good. Crop re-
ports are not good and the early new
crop months look cheap at present
prices.
Heavy sales for realization Of profits
during the last hour caused quite some
reaction in the stock market; towards
the very close many stocks recovered
however and the close was steady with
the vanderbilts and coal stocks at

and the doing of it has raised our ma

than ever before. We have made mis-

Of the future greatness of our people.

not the drone, who does nothing but eat
and buzz, which tries to sting but can
not sting A. B."
He then said: 1--WE have undoubtedly
