nRADsrREEr TRADE REVIEW
Stimulating Features Make for Activity
In Ali Lined

New York. March so--Tomorrow Brad
street will say; Better weather, the APP
proach OF Easter, large government buying
for army and navy account and heavy pur-
chasing power OF the public Mt large con-
stitute the stimulating features which make
for exceptional activity in nearly every line
Of trade to swell the total volume at most
centers above last years levels. At great
many markets there Ia talk Of continued
conservation as to far future buying. but
this Ia absolutely absent In the iron and
steel trade which notes new high levels Of
prices reached and rarely noted In cotton
and wooden goods. which are strong with
an upward tendency for nearby needs and
supported by the strength Of the raw ma
teriais. 80 far as the future Is concerned.
Frequent mention In made. too. Of the actual
volume OF trade not being larger than a
year ago, but added TO this is the statement
that the higher levels Of nil prices make for
greater financial turnover. This matter
Of high prices. In fact. seems to be the key
Of the situation and bulks larger by far In
the trade discussions than does the talk Of
the possibility Of hostilities. Weekly bank

HoRs--There was another liberal run Of
hogs hero this morning. arrivals being the
this month. Tho supply was Estimated at
16s cars. or 1i,2oo head. making the total
for the five days 1887 head. This is the
largest since five weeks ago. being $1,000
larger than week ago. $500 heavier than
two weeks ago, ana gain Of i1.ooo over
last year.
Prices were fully t5c higher on the ear
iicr trade today though like yesterday, part
Of the advance was lost on the close. Ship.
pers bought about their usual quota. paying
1o8ijc to possibly 2oc higher. The killer
trade was little drasgy at the outset but
movement started In pretty fair season at
generally lbc higher prices.
One packer was fighting the advance and
an was the case yesterday sellers were un-
able to effect clearance at the early ad-
vance. with between thirty and forty cars
still unsold and sAly one packer sull In
the trade who really needed hogs, bids
dropped to Toe higher basis. Sellers who
still had hogs tried hard to get early prices
for them, and for q while the market was
pretty dead. but in the end tho buyers had
their way. buying the remainder OF the sup
ply about dime higher than yesterday. or
fully nickel below morning figures. All
records were again smashed. Bulk sold at
$i4.7s0lAs5, with quite showing at $500
and an extreme top Of eit.o5.
One packer refused to follow the advance
early, and this made the later rounds slow.
b1t while sellers had to night hard to get
morning prices on the last thirty or forty
cars. in the end everything except . few
scattering loads was cleaned up without
much change In values. On paper last
xaies did not look quite 30 good as early,
but naturally the best hogs sold on the
opening and. considering this, the close
showed no quotable change.
The market averaged $50 higher than
yesterday. and the hulk. average cost and
top were the highest ever recorded here.
Most Of the sales were made ut spread
OF sf4.7o0is.0o. and the extreme top
reached. $780,, soc above yesterdays top.
which was the previous record. Since last
weeks close prices have moved up gener-
ally 25c.
