a very favorable indication is the declining
tendency of staple commodities, which should
present unsatisfactory conditions In foreign
trade. Wheat and -four have already declined
considerable from the high level and and
oats likewise seem to have taken downward
trend. Cotton, too. has fallen. while iron and
wool declining. Copper is already low in
price. The explanation of this tendency is that
economic excuses are working out their own
natural correction. The long period of very high
prices is at last stimulating production and
checking consumption thus bringing about a
natural and inevitable REIMBURSEMENT through in
creasing supplies Needless to say. concessions
in the price OF such commodities will stimulate
business; at the same time modifying the basis
for the present popular cutlery against the high
cost of living. From now on there should be
less heard of the latter grievance, although time
must elapse before consumers get the advantage
of the lower prices which producers are now
obliged TO accept. The process of reimbursement
has been a painful one producing much friction
and dissatisfaction Complaints against the high
cost of living being corrected. not only by the
reaction in prices just referred to- but also by
advances IN wages The moderate advances
made by the railroads AMI many large corpora
tions VIII materially aid the purchasing power
of those classes and thus act as a further
stimulus upon business.
In the west conditions generally satisfac-
tory. There has been some uneasiness over ex-
eesSive speculation in land and irrigation
schemes but this movement does not yet appear
to have gone to any dangerous excess, and our
western bankers are confident Of another season
of prosperity. provided they have full crops.

that their facilities will be taxed to the utmost.

STAGNATION IN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. April 23.-Almost
total stagnation settled on the
stock market today. The intense
dullness masked some tension of
sentiment which was a reflection
in part of repressed excitement in
the cotton market.
The situation created by the in
PREVENTION of the government to
prosecute the. pool which is sup
posed to control the supply of
cotton for May delivery, has
thrown the market into great
confusion.
The weeks liquidation in stocks
is believed to have come partly
from sources involved in the cot
ton speculation.
Stock spectators have come,
apparently, to a determination to
await the action of the United
States steel directors on the divi-
dend next Tuesday, and the show
ing of quarterly earnings to be
then reported. Opinions vary
greatly not only as TO the proba
BILE dividend action, but as to the
probable market effect of any
specified dividend declaration.
This confusion arises from the
probability that market operations
in United States steel are being
prompted by trade conditions or
prospects rather than by the inn
mediate action Of the directors.
The stock speculation made al
most no demand on the money
market. Hence the dull and easy
money market in spite of the gold
Withdrawals and the extended
loan position of the banks of the
country as a whole. A rise in net
surplus of idle freight cars in two
weeks from 25,SS6 on March so to
1887 on April Is was taken as
corroborative of the trend of opin-
ion on trade conditions.
The surprise in the bank state
ment was the increase in the ac-
tual loan item of the clearing
house banks and in the average
loans of others. The small change
in the cash item was about as ex-
pected
Bonds were irregular Total
