ed at an early hour and was followed by the departure of many brokers leaving the market in a condition of practical stagnation. The easier tone of the money market gave rise to a feeling of conh- dence that tomorrow's bank statement would show the deficit in the reserves below the legal requirements made up. This was the ground underlying the firm tone in the stock market. Special strength in one or two of the prominent individual stocks helped to sustain the market Amalgamated Copper rose on reiterated rumors of intended dividend in- crease. The ground taken by the parties to the coal labor controversy that further conference was in order kept alive n hopeful sentiment for a settlement, which was reflected in the strength of Reading.
 The weakness of Baltimore and Ohio was an example of the small relish for additional capital issues in the present temper of Wall street, and the condition of the money market. The preferred stock of the company, however which shared in the subscription privileges, but not in the added liability to claims on the surplus for dividends rose strongly. Operators of the banks with the sub treasury have nearly balanced on the week while the known movements of money to the interior have yielded in the neighborhood of s2.Doo.o0O to New York This estimate presumably includes gold received from Canadian sources. Stock market liquidation and the transfer of loans from New York to foreign money markets and to interior banks have oper- ated to relieve the loan account of the New York banks. How far these factors may have been offset by the new de- mand for credits upon the New York banks will require the official bank state- ment to determine.
 But the easier tone of the money mar ket today indicated the restoration of d surplus in the reserves. Foreign ex- change reacted slightly from the highest level of yesterday, but became steady again and gave no indication of falling again to the gold import level. The mar ket closed with some show of strength, and activity, and at the best prices of the day.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2, ,550, 900. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

STOCK MARKET NJ MORE THAN NOMINAL Many Members Left the Street
 for Holiday ATTENDANCE WAS SMALL
There Was No Disposition to Take Any Important Steps In the Mar ket, Which Soon Assumed
 State of stasnaton.

New York, April -Todays stock mar ket was not much more than nominal, The departure from custom in keeping the stock exchange open on Good Friday was not allowed to interfere with the holiday of many members, who left tho Wall street district last night to remain away until next Monday. The attend ance was therefore small and the dealings were left in the hands of the habitual traders who found unusual difficulty in making things go in market of those restricted limits. The exchanges for other commodities were all closed until next Tuesday. The New York stock exchange was almost completely isolated from liv- ing contact with the worlds markets. Under these circumstances there was no disposition to take any important steps in the market. The holding of the ses- son was designed in fact almost exe1u- sively to arrange outstanding call loans, which carry over until Monday. The fear of attempts to arrange loans yesterday to carry over until Monday, which would have been necessary in the event of ob- serving the holiday today was what prompted the opening of the exchange for trading today
 The arrangement of loans was conclud-

puN's REVIEW.

New York. April 13-R. G. Dun X Co s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 stringeney in the money market has caused no interruption to the wholesome progress of trade and industry, although tending to develop conservatism in spec ulative departments. Weather conditions accelerate the distribution of reasonable merchandise and retail business is of larger volume outside the immediate vi- cinlty of the coal mines and few other places where local controversies have their influence. Building operations are only limited by the supply of labor and material which cause frequent delays and the heavy consumption of all com modities is shown by the highest level of quotations since February, 1881. Dun 8 index number on April 1, being SlO6O66, against $1OI204 a month previous and S99,- 206 year ago.
 Since the month opened there has been a further advance. Manufacturing plants are fully engaged; pig iron production is at the maximum; shipments of footwear from Boston exceed those of any pre- NiouS year, and a stronger tone Is re- ported at the textile mills in response to the well maintained. markets for raw materials. Railway earnings for the first week of April were S.1 per cent larger than last years, although prices of se- curities have weakened somewhat in re- sponse to the highest money market at this season in many years official statis- ties of foreign commerce for the month of March indicate that exports of farm staples were valued at S69, 750- GOO, an in- crease of $2250,0O0 as compared with the corresponding period last year when the movement was exceptionally heavy

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work in cessantly with brain and hand to hold their own nowadays Never. were the de- mands of business, the wants of the family, the requirements of society, more numerous. The first effect of the praise7 worthy effort to keep up with all these things is commonly seen in weakened or debilitated condition of the nervous system, which results in dyspepsia, de- fectve nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme cases in complete ner- vous prostration. It is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sustain the system. give vigor and tone to the nerves and keep the digestive and assimilative functions healthy and active. From per- sonal knowledge. we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose It acts on all the vital organs. builds up the whole system. and fits men and wom- en for these high-pressure days.

Loveman 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

We are this morning without any guide in the way of prices from Capel court and we will be in that position with re- gard to that avenue until Tuesday next.
 Here there is very little news with the exception of the less favorable anthracite coal situation, The street, however does not seem to believe that there will be other than q satisfactory outcome.
 We still think the inopey situation the main point of interest.
 It has been demonstrated that any ease in money rates. here quickly shoves up the sterling abroad The probabilities are that money will rule around the legal for some time to come. but there is something in getting Accustomed to these things.
 The trade statement made yesterday afternoon is magnificent document and under ordinary circumstances 1t would prove a big bull argument for the mar ket
 It is likely that our market will be of an holiday character for a couple of days to come anGi there may he some diverting movements in specialties.
