Cloth Market.

Manchester, April 19.-The cloth mar
ket has beeh lethargic since the holi-
days. There were few important Of
fers from Eastern outlets, but these
were mostly impracticable. Goods
bought in November and December
are now being distributed abroad, and
it is impossible to obtain orders for
their replacement at any considerable
advance. The troubles in the Balkans
have caused shippers to several Turk
ish ports to suspend operations. Egypt
is over-supplied and is forwarding few
orders. The home trade was affected
by the unreasonable weather.
The demand for yarns was poor and
confined mostly to small lots for i'm
mediate requirements. The tone of the
yarn market was weaker.

BANKER CLEWs' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street,

New York, April 1S.-Wall street has
recovered from the first shock of the
decision against the Northern Securities
Company, and is finally inclined to take
better balanced view of the con-
sequences. 1t is now recognized that
while this decision is likely to be con-
firmed by the Supreme Court of the
United States, and while it will force
financial leaders to abandon the con-
templated series of mergers, some other
more lawful method will be found of
preventing suicidal competition between
the railroads. The first object of this
Northern Securities plan was to give
the nity-of-interest ideas of
permanent form, it being recognized
that sharpers wanted stable and rea-
sonable rates, while stockholders con-
sidered themselves entitled to fair re-
turns. There is no question but that
these objects can be secured by less
Objectionable and by more legal meth
DDS than through the Northern Sc
curities Company or the security-hold-
ing corpora ton.
A better feeling prevails in the stock
market, due to the fact that monetary
conditions are likely to improve and
that very severe liquidation has taken
place during the last six months with
out any disastrous consequences. This
is ample test of the soundness of the
present situation. Fortunately, a very
conservative feeling prevails in both
financial and mercantile circles. Bank
ers appreciate the responsibilities I'M
der which they are laboring, and no
disposition is shown to encourage new
ventures. Merchants anticipate an
other seasons good trade, but are as
Stunning cautious attitude in view of
monetary conditions; and manufactur-
ers see little to interfere with business
prospects except labor agitation. on
all sides the future is regarded hope-
fully; but there is a very decided feel
ing of cautiousness prevalent every
where, which is likely to act as a de-
terrent on further overriding

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
BY VIM. T. williams

The cotton market was sharply high
er on Monday, the advance exceeding
20 points on the near months: Nav
reached 1880, and July 1O.2oc. Heavy
realizing by the bull leaders caused
about an equal decline Tuesday, and
after these two spasms the market
ruled much quieter, with a rather
easy undertone. May closed II points
lower at 10.2Sc; July, points lower, at
9.SSc. August, which displayed in
creased activity closed points higher
at 9.4Sc. Changes in later months are
slight; September S.76c; November,
S38c.
Fluctuations in New Orleans were
about as in New York; Liverpool
closed a point or two higher than the
week before
Receipts at the ports were somewhat
smaller than last year, but the amount
in sight for the week is figured 10000
bales more than last year. Weather
was generally favorable although I'M
seasonably cool, and crop preparations
are progressing rapidly, with cotton
UP in the more southerly districts.
AS mentioned above, the weakness
was caused by heavy realizing; it is
said, the leading bulls unloaded at
least 100, 900 bales 1t is claimed that
oHAO0Ato arc pOlllblllS " NCW
York for delivery on May contracts,
and the bearish chronicle asserts posi-
lively that there have been shipments
back to New York from Liverpool for
the same purpose; further that more
is coming from Liverpool, and also
from Bremen. They might also sue
coed in finding a little in Barcelona
and so forth. The trade usually takes
little stock in that kind of talk. The
simple truth appears to be that the
bulls are in position to put the old
crop months about as high as they
please, which of course means as high
as they think it profitable to venture.
1t is certainly dangerous to go short
on the old crop months, however high
they may look. 1t is safer to sell the
new crop deliveries on the firm spots
Grain markets were firm pretty
much all the week, quickly rallying
from all setbacks. The strength was
due chiefly to manipulation by bull
leaders, and regardless of favorable
crop news. May wheat closed 2ssc
higher at 77%c;July &c higher at 721Ac;
May corn closed 19sc higher at 44%c;
May oats 25sc higher ct 35bc. Oats
were especially strong toward the lat
ter part of the week; they appear now
reaching a figure at which they can be
sold with reasonable certainty of a
profit. Very much will now depend on
the weather map in all the markets.

SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

Naval Stores Coming from Florida
for Exporting Through Savannah.
About 500 Casks of Spirits Com
ing UD for the Steamship Iris.
OF Interest to Shippers.
In a few days there will be received
from Jacksonville some 1,400 to $500
casks of turpentine for export on the
steamship Iris. now in port loading
naval stores for Antwerp. The move
ment of these products from Florida
to Savannah for export continues to
attract attention in shipping circles,
and particularly as to the future vol
ume of these exports.
The belief prevails in some quarters
that Savannah is to continue the main
market and the largest exporting point
for these products. For a time it was
thought vessels would proceed direct
for Florida ports and load there,
whereas now it looks like that if they
do not touch there and come on here
for their regular cargo, they will
come direct to Savannah and the stuff
brought up from Florida by rail-
Of late considerable purchases of
naval stores have been made in Flor
ida, and the turpentine referred to as
coming from there this week repre-
sents purchases of the past few days.
The local trade are interested in the
extent to which this outside buying
will be carried, for tthe more stuff
bought elsewhere the lesser the de-
mand here, and consequently the low
er the price may drop. 1t is claimed
that if producers concentrated the de-
mand and consequently the operations
at this market the effect would be to
strengthen the market. All business is
done on basis Savannah prices, and
it is urged that by pursuing a policy
that lowers this market, the producer
stands in his own way of profiting on
the sale of his products.

Jewish History" an essay in the

now, The Jewish Publication Society
of America, 1O15 Arch street. Philadel-
phia, Pa. P. o. Box 1164. The charm
of this essay is in the fact that it is
intensely interesting. Jewish history
dealt. with scientifically, but there is
lacking that tediousness that adher-
ence to dry detail too often found in es-
says of this character. AS stated in
the preface, the author "endeavors to
demonstrate the inner connection be-
tween events, and develop the ideas
that underlie them, or, to use his
own expression, lay bare the soul of
Jewish history which clothes itself
with external events as with the bodily
envelope" The reader will find this es-
say instructive and stimulating. He
will also find that it creates desire
to become more thoroughly acquainted
with Jewish history.
