FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. April 2.-During the week
on the stock exchange. despite the heavy
work or another huge settlement, busi-
ness Tor the new account was on a large
scale. especially in the speculative de-
partments, and generally at rising prices
Trading In rubber shares continued
daily advances. Warnings that the mar
ket was getting unsafe were passed un-
needed, and the advance continued I'M
checked. Mining shares received in
creased attention at the week end, while
CANADIAN railway and land issues were
steadily supported. Grand Trunk and
Canadian Pacific leading the advance
Good traffic reports and better coal trade
news brought more confident support to
nome rails, which closed buoyant and
dearer. Good yielding foreign bonds
found ready support at higher prices.
mexican rails improved In anticipation of
a good dividend. but declined sharply on
the disappointing announcement. Con-
soils and other silt-edged securities were
neglected pending political developments.
the other speculative departments ruled
dull most Of the week. Labor troubles
IN the United States and the prospect of
gold exports Londonward checked opera
tons, and the decline in the price of
Copper assisted the bear pressure. The
net result of the small weeks trading
was loss Of from one to three points.
Canadian Pacific was an exception clos
ing two points higher.
Money has been tight and no pro-
nounced easing is expected for some time,
especially If the collection of the income
tax Is authorized in the near future. Dis
count rates declined early In the week,
but flrmed up later. The per cent rate
of the Bank Of England has thus far
failed to draw much gold, and while a
good amount Of the metal is expected
from the United States. it IS believed in
many quarters that a higher rate will
be necessary in the near future in order
to build UP the depleted reserve Of the
BAN.
Money was In strong demand and dis
count rates were firmer today.
The week ended cheerfully on the stock
exchange. Rubber shares continued ex-
cited at advancing prices, and Mexican
and home rails and trunk fines received
good attention at hardening rates. For
eign bonds and kafffrs were Quietly
steady, but gllt-edged securities were
neglected.
American securities were lifeless.
few carly orders carried Canadian Pa
cff1c and Amalgamated Copper y over
parity, but the rest of the list barely
moved, and the market closed dull.

NEW YORK. April 2.-Today hne no
clear weather doubtless contributed to
make the security market more apa-
thetic affair even than II otherwise would
have been although the same innuences
that were operative to bring yesterday
market to the verge of absolute inachon
were again today in evidence. Attend
ance on the floor of the stock exchange
was less than at any previous day this
year and interest in the market on the
part of large number of people was
pIsinv diverted TO golf and various pleas
ure excursions.
Tho market was, in fact, IN no way
worthy of more than passing review or
comment Changes in prices save IN
one or two stocks, were only nomlna'.
For some unknown reason. but possibly
because of the recent notable weakness
in the copper market in Boston, where
the American Telephone and Telegraph
shares arc largely held. there was an
outbreak of pressure to sell American
telegram and Telephone. which resulted
In an extreme decline In the stock of ia

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. April 2.-Spot cotton
quiet and easy. unchanged; middltng,
lax. Sales on the spot, $40 bales. to ar
rive, 500 bales.
Cotton futures opened quiet at a decline
of 1 to points on continued rains in
Texas. Cables were about as expected.
After the call offerings increased from
traders, who we're going short on better
belt generally. and prices fell off until
the more active months were to points
down.
When the selling was at it's height the
market acted somewhat oversold, and to-
ward noon d steadier feeling grew as the
result of rather an extensive covering
movement by bears, who were afraid to
carry their lines intact over the week
end. The closing was steady at d net de-
cline of 4 to 4 points.
The cotton futures market this week
was i'm the hands of the bears from
"Wednesday OIL. Rains in Texas, where
there had been little precipitation for
many weeks past, turned the control
over to the short side. The more active
months closed Is to SO points under last
week. The bear side was aided In it's
operations not a little by reports that
settlement had been reached In the
May deal in the New York market. An
other bearish factor was the reported
widespread curtailment of output on the
part of the American cotton mills. As
sort OF balance to the trade depreS-
sion on this side of the water, however,
was the continued satisfactory showing
of the Manchester market, where a good
business was being done in cloths and
yarns, and empha sizing this business
was the weeks sales of spot cotton
in Liverpool of $1,000 bales, against
| "a 600 this week last year.
With the advent of the rains, even
| the bulls were willing to admit that
| the crop in Texas was starting off fair

Coffee Market.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The market for
coffee futures opened steady at un-
changed prices to a decline Of 8 points, in
sympathy with lower European markets,

der scattering liquidation and trade sell
ing. which may have reflected uncertainty
regarding the outcome Of government auo-

Tendency Was Upward.

What small prevailing tendency in
prices as was noticeable was upward.
Spectators for the decline seemed in
ciincd, particularly, to retire their con-
tracts of this nature in the Amalgamated
Copper shares, and the Onion Pacific.
Southern Pacific Northern Pacific. Great
Northern and other we'll known railroad
stocks closed at advances. a declaration
OF a dividend upon the Western Mary
land preferred shares passed unnoticed,
and the event appeared to he one that
had been entirely expected and discount
ed. Undoubtedly the most important
event of the day was further decline
in the wheat and cotton markets, owing
to renewed rainful in the vest and
southwest.
The weekly bank statement was only
remarkable i'm that il in no way CORE
spcnded with preliminary forecasts as to
its character. In the average statement
an increase of 50, 100000 In the loans was
shown. which, along with q decrease of
1,7oS.gb in cash. resulted in a decrease
in the surplus reserve of 1858, 600. In
the actual statement a decrease in loans
of 81, $4,000 was offset by decrease of
over $4,000 600 in cash. which. along
with a decrease of S11.314 coo in deposits,
caused decrease in surplus of $jS45,0p.
The contrarieties and discrepancies thus
shown were presumably connected with
financial operations incident to the large
April disbursements and to many cur
rent transactions relating to the f1otation
of bond issues,

Business Greatly Diminished.

Putting the best possible construction
upon the matter what could only be de-
scribed as conflicting tendencies made
their appearance in the stock market last
week and resulted in a greatly dimin-
ished volume of business, taking the
week as whole. and rather lower
range of prices. Talk of damage to the
winter wheat crop by lack of rain gold
exports; the sudden death of Justice
Brewer: a not very encouraging review
by James j. Hill of the situation of af-
fairs in the railroad world; the develop
ment of heaviness, not to say weakness,
in investment issues: violent break in
the price of various mining stocks; a dis
turbing continuance of reckless specula-
ton i'm rubber shares in London, and
additional emphasis lent to the present
compiled tons in financial and political af-
fairs i'm Great Britain, all contributed
to keep buyers away from the security
market.
At the same time all these matters
were really uncertainties more than any
thing else: that is TO say, they were not
circumstances of direct or positive evil,
and not such in and of themselves
might he supposed to necessarily lead to
market liquidation, and they were offset
In no small degree by the exceedingly
firm undcrtone shown by the money mar
ket over the first of April, which went
far to dispel any apprehension of a per-
picking situation in this regard later on.
Reports from business centers proper
over the country were perhaps more ir
regular than they recently have been. In
the iron and steel trade relative depres-
sion i'm pig iron seems to be counterbal-
anced by good business in steel and a
pretty fair average maintenance of prices
in the latter direction.

Dry Goods Business Suffers.

ON the other hand, the dry goods bust
ness is showing more than at any previ-
Gus time the injury done to 1t by the
short cotton crop of last year. All lines
OF industry i'm this respect are suffering,
and II is said that the amount of cotton
mill curtailment now being enforced
throughout the country is larger than
ever before known, except in periods of
general and severe hard times.
Toward the end of the week the

peared TO be partly, If not altogether,

that the common people, the rank ana

The direct primary law contem-
plates several candidates for each

to provide for a second choice. The
law invites every man in Idaho to
become candidate for the nomlna-

take up the fight of any candidate. In

that they are decent men and good
