WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
BY VIM, T. Williams.

Great activity and excitement pre-
vailed in the cotton market throughout
the week. While there were frequent
violent fluctuations, the general tone
was very strong, and prices rose sharp
ly. Top was reached on Thursday,
when July reached lie, August 1876
September, $3.50, October, sole, and
weaker on Friday, and prices reacted
some 80 points or more on the old
crop months. May dropped from 11.44c
on Thursday to 10.75c, closing "a points
below the preceding Saturday. July
closed AZ points higher at 10.71c; Au-
gust. 4S points higher at 1O45c; Septem-
Der 5 points higher at $3.50. The net
advance in new crop months was
small Trading was enormous, some
days exceeding 100000 bales
Changes in New Orleans kept pretty
we'll up with New York, only there was
no corresponding late break in May,
and new crop months made slightly
larger gains. Liverpool was active and
strong for both spots and futures. Spot
sales for the week We're over 10000
bales; old crop months closed about 40
points higher; September-October 20
points higher, and later months about
10 points higher.
An attempt to forecast a market in
such condition would be a thankleSS
task. While the fever is on, there
seems nothing which can stop the craze
to buy; people talk of 12c, 13c, lac, and
even 15c with calm assurance and re-
freshing glibness. Yet, everybody
knows that the advance for some time
has been due to manipulation and the
outbreak of a severe epidemic of spec
ulatiVe fever. AS to the new crop
months, they have made a compare
lively modest gain in sympathy. 1t is
possible that large and quick profits
may yet be made by buying the nearer
months, especially on weak spots; but
ii is dangerous market and the pru-
dent course seems to be to sell the new
crop months on firm spots, and have
patience. Crop reports have assumed
a more encouraging tone, now, and the
pressure will grow heavier and heavier
with each little rise.
Grain speculation was quiet, but
prices were a. little higher on unpropi-
tious weather conditions. Wheat closed
about 1c higher. July 1880. Corn gain
ed a small fraction, and July oats adj
vanced 1c, closing 33Ac. This is now
getting almost high enough to tempt
selling.

Foreign Freight Market.

In the sail tonnage market a moder-
ate business was reported but trading
was confined to the coastwise and
nearby foreign trades. Large tonnage
suitable for the long-voyage trades con-
tinues in demand, but vessels are
scarce and the rates bid unattractive.
West India and South America freights
are quiet, with recent rates well sus-
tanned. Lumber and tie tonnage coast
wise is in urgent request, but the avail
able supply of vessels is exceedingly
light, and rates in consequence are
strong and buoyant. Coal rates East
continue firm, with a steady business
doing. Steamer freights were some
what improved. A better demand pre-
walls for deal tonnage from the Prov
inces, and timber and general cargo
from the Gulf. and rates are firmer.
Grain and general cargo tonnage from
the Atlantic range to Europe continues
exceedingly dull. Cotton freights are
quiet. West India freights continue
steady of Commerce.

MAGAZINES.

The June number of The Smart Set
opens with a novelette, by James
Branch Cabell, entitled, THE Hus-
bands Comedy" The story is strik-
ingly distinctive, and as clever as nc
tion may be. 1t is full of humor that
is delicious; but, too, there is very
genuine human feeling in these pages,
and an underlying pathos. Among the
sixteen short stories of the number, the
most important are, THE Diary of
Dewdrop," an idyll of Japan, by Onoto
Watanna THE Artful Arabella," an
ingenious and intimate narrative of an
episode at a house party. by Margaret
Vinton Hamilton. and "a Man, a Horse
and a. Girl" a strong story of the
plains, by Molly Elliot Seawell. The
verse maintains that merit which has
won for The Smart Set it's literary pres
tige. The humor throughout is of the
best; and there is, too, an essay, THE
Passing of the Aristocrat," by Eliza
beth Duer. which is of unusual inter
est, The Smart Set, 452 Fifth avenue,

BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook As Seen from
Wall Street

Inc FINANCIAL Outlook As Seen from
Wall Street.
New York, May 16.-There is a strik-
ing change of feeling on the Stock
Exchange. Twelve months ago we
were near the crest of a wave of wild
speculation. Six months ago we were
on the verge of despair, and in fear of
a crisis or panic. Now we are set
Ting down to more normal conditions;
dependency fhase ceased. and conf
dence should soon commence to regain
its accustomed sway. The reasons Cor
this are easy to discover; liquidation,
improved monetary conditions and
brilliant wheat crop prospects being
the principal causes.
Some uneaSineSS was shown at gold
exports, which are usual at this sea-
son, and have not yet been sufficiently
large to cause alarm. The European
markets are generally we'll supplied
with funds; and as the financial stu
alton in England, France and Germany
is improving rather than otherwise
there seems to be no occasion to eX
pect large demands upon us for gold
The money market is easy, as usual
this season, when legitimate demands
are at minimum. The steady expan-
sion in loans during the last few weeks
is hardly~a welcome feature, and the
bank reserves, though larger than for
the past two years at this time, are
comparatively low. Still, the supply of
funds has been somewhat augmented
by funding operations, and the with
drawal of trust companies from the
clearing house agreement will prevent
the lock up of thirty to forty millions
for reserve account, if all the COM
panies take the same course as it is
rumored they will. 1t will be remem-
bered that about fifteen millions was
required on June l which will not now
be withdrawn.
Speculation is dormant. Active fluct-
uations are mostly confined to special
ties and until crops are fully assured
it is likely to be simply a traders mar
ket, making good stocks a purchase on
the sharp declines and equally good
sales on the rallies. From present APP
pearances we are likely to have just
such market for some time TO come,
until money or crop prospects warrant
a change of operations.
The attitude of the public towards
investments is likely to become more
houeful. Thinking powers are at last
now brought more into use, and pur-
chases hereafter will be of an entire
ly different character from the reck-
lessly indiscriminate ventures of 1901
and the early part of 1902.

BOOK NOTICES.

''The Sins of a Saint" by ]. R.
Aitken. D. Appleton & Co., publishers,
New York city. Cloth 81. so. This is
historical romance and deals with a
period of English history that is full
of painful events. The king was OPP
posed by powerful ecclesiastical par
ty, and he was the victim of much in
justice and many injuries. The SYM
pathy of the reader is with the king.
The romance is charmingly written and
is certain to be received with favor.
Castle Omeragh," by F. Frankfort
Moore, D.. Appleton & Co., publishers,
New York city. Cloth $3.50. A new
novel by Frank Frankfort Moore, in
a sense, may be called an event of
some note in current fiction. This is
Mr. Moore's first story dealing with a
period earlier than the eighteenth CEN
fury. 1t stands quite apart from his
usual style of fiction. The story is an
uncommonly good one.
1t is the first personal nara tive of
a young Irishman who has returned to
Castle Omeragh, in County Clare, from
New England just after the massacres
at Drogheda, and while Cromwell and
his army are still devastating Ireland.
After the successful defense of Castle
Omeragh the interest of the story is
centered in the town of Clonmel, where
Cromwell is again repulsed. There is
a good deal of what is called Celtic
glamour in the work. Irish superstition
enters pretty freely into the explana-
ton of circumstances and events.
There are some admirable descriptions
of scenic effect.
