New York. May Pr. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade tomorrow viii
say:
changes IN the business situation are
In the line Of moderate Improvement.
Crop prospects are better, and this is
plainly indicated by the downward ten
dency Of prices. Visible improvement is
taking place in the iron and steel trade.
and this is the best development OF the
past few days; there is a large demand
for both pig iron and for finished pro-
ducts. especially in agricultural and
structural lines
Reports Of retail and wholesale trade
coming from the principal cities continue
10 show a wide difference OF conditions
in the different sections. Taking the
country as a whole. however. in spite OF
these differences. the volume OF transac-
tons is great Railroad earnings during
the first half Of May indicate this by
their increase Of III per cent While
bank clearings at New York are 2 per
cent lower in consequence Of speculative
inactivity. there IS gain % ~ per
cent outside OF this city Financial mar
kets continue depressed pending the
crop uncertainties and the adjournment
OF Congress
Commercial failures this week in the
United states are 225 against 212 last
week. 2i6 the preceding week and 21s
the corresponding week last year. Fail
ures In Canada number 4 against a
last week, II the preceding week. and o

WALL STREET NEWS
Session of Stock Exchange
Dull as Holidays Approach.
OPENING AT A LOWER LEVEL
Expectation OF Advance over Thurs
day Does Not MRterinIiEe, as
Sales Made on Eve of Three Days
Suspension of Business.

New York. May 27.-Except for a brief
spell OF activity in the first hour OF bust
ness to-day. there might as well have
been no session Of the stock exchange
whatever. Absenteeism from the floor of
the stock exchange was pronounced, and
became increased as the day went on
with steady dwindling Of the volume Of
market transactions.
Probably most people in Wall street ex-
pected the market would open higher to-
day than It closed Yesterday. and in gen
eral advance somewhat in consequence of
the very encouraging character Of yester-
days financial news
The smash In wheat prices, the growing
indications Of the state of the crops gen.
orally; the more favorable reports from
the iron and steel trade: the weaker tend
ency in sterling exchange. and the official
confirmation OF reports regarding railway
bond sales IN Europe by our bankers
would, IL seemed. very naturally result
in larger buying OF stocks.
Opens nt Lower Level
Nevertheless. the security market opened
at lower level and soon became def
nitely weak. The decline bore every ap-
pearance OF being IN the nature Of
bear raid" and was at any rate attended
by heavy offerings OF stock.
Once more rumors were brought into
play In an effort TO break the market Of
the same despicable sort as those set
afoat on Wednesday regarding the health
Of prominent flnancier OF the country
now visiting Europe. They hardly needed
denial and indignation was great con-
corning them. The governors OF the stock
exchange, II IS said. will make an earnest
endeavor TO find out those responsible for
cruel and baseless stories Of this kind.
Market Soon Receivers.
In a short time the market recovered.
but in view OF the approaching long sus-
pension OF stock exchange business real
izing sales and an evening I'D Of COM
mitments was. Of course. inevitable. and
this served 70 shorten the rise. Most OF
the time through the day prices held be-
low their last figures OF the day before
There was little II any market movement
during the middle OF the day. and during
the last half hour prices again receded
on further realizing closing at general
declines.
Favorable prophecies were heard re-
garding to-morrow's bank statement but
In banking circles the opinion was ex-
pressed that an increase IN cash by the
clearing house Institutions had probably |
been Offset by an enlargement OF the loan
account which, although II might stln 1
leave an Increase in the bank surplus. |
would make this increase smaller than /
has been exhibited in recent weeks.

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

In a small volume of business done
yesterday on the local stock exchange
the tendency IN the main was toward
lower prices. One hundred shares of
Railway common sold az g. with the
bid price after the trading a quarter Of
a point lower The preferred shares sold
at IS SIS which represents also a little
shading of the price.
The bid price OF the Columbia National
Bank fell OF about SO a share. in keep
ing with the notion that the unusual de-
mand for the stock, caused by the recent
transfer OF shares to local capitalists
has been satisfied and that there is no
further reason to hold the stock above
It's real value.
Albert F. Fox, president OF the Column
bia Bank. issued the following statement
yesterday with reference 70 possible
changes in the administration Of the insti-
tuition:
For several days rumors have appear
&c in the daily press to the effect that
certain persons well known in this bank
had acquired control OF a majority Of the
stock In the Columbia National Bank.
Whether this be true or not, the officers
and directors desire that the public be
assured that the present management can
control the affairs OF the bank until
January 1911, and the officers and direc-
tors are acting in perfect accord. and
each depositor and stockholder can rest
assured that his interests shall be fully
