I NEW VOHK , April 17. Iknrr Clews' ,
, ke d ot the tanking bouse ot Henry Clews
it Co. , writes of the situation In Wall Street :
Wall street has passed through another
Week ot the crucial stage of the war ques
tion without any serious happenings. On
the stock exchange , nil Ims been quiet ; not
only as respects the amount of transactions
done , but also In the way of abstention
from political excitement or warlike ap
prehension. The situation has been so long
under the public eye that It has been
weighed on every Hide of Its possibilities or
probabilities. The discussions of the two
bouses of congress were waited for with
some anxiety and little hope , but the exciting - -
citing process of debate among fnose ar
biters of the question of peace or war had
little crtcct , for they only confirmed the
fore-gone conclusion reached In the public
mind. It may bo said thnt the chances for
peace have ceased to be nn appreciable
factor In prices , and yet there are few
sellers clfncr on speculation or Investment
account , and almost no stock Is coming
here from Europe.
.Thlrf latter fact , coupled with the absence
of any further advance In the .Hank of
England rate of discount , Is a significant
tnatterj for It Implies that , at the foreign
financial centers , there Is no expectation
ofj further serious action by the Uuropean
powers In our relations wlfn Spain , which
Is. same quarters has been regarded ns a
posslOlIity calling for precautions. If such
action were contemplated by the six pow
er ? , It could riot have failed to show Its
foreciistlngs In the higher circles of flnanco
InLohdon nnd on the continent. Indeed ,
inlanders would have welcomed such a pre
text ns a means of c'neckltig the outflow
of gold to this country through promoting
the return of our stocks nnd bonds. The
steadiness with which English and German
Investors cling to our securities under ex
isting conditions IB n very gratifying exhi
bition of confidence In our ability to wltn-
stand t'ne effects of war ; and Is especially
BO when contrasted with the fact that Spen-
Ish bonds have lost nearly half their mar
ket value ; It Is , howtvor. only a counterpart
of the steadiness with w'nlch our securities
nro held nt home. The feeling Is very
steadily gaining ground thnt while , as an
Immediate effect of the actual declaration
of war , there would be a sudden shock
causing Borne partial fall In prices , yet t'nu
drop would soon yield to recovery. The
only Important factor militating against
such n course of the stock market might
possibly be forthcoming from the money
market. The demands of the government
for money might prove to be a source of
fitful dlsturbincc ) and yet It Is to be con
sidered thnt all the receipts of t'ne treasury
would go Into early disbursement nnd upon
conditions least calculated to lock up money
from public use. Including a free use of
the national bank depositories.
At the close of the week , prices do not
vary much from those of a week afro.
There have been ups and downs , but the
one has about offset t'ne other , The Influx
of gold shows no abatement. The total
amount received or engaged for shipment
now reaches JCO.COO.OCO , nn < J It Is estimated
that about J30.000.000 of bills arc still held
Jn this country , destined to bring hither
that furt'ner sum of gold.
The government March report on our for
eign trade shows another remarkable ad
dition ' to our foreign creditor trade bal
ance. The uncertainties connected with our
relations with Spain appear to have had
the effect of swelling our exports and con
tracting our Imparts. Tne shipments of
merchandise far March amount to IllC.SOO-
000 , against $92.200,000 for the same month
of last year , showing nn Increase of $24-
600.COO. The month's Imports , on the con
trary , fell $14,600,000 below those of 1K97.
Comparing the Inward and outward trade ,
we have an excess of exports over Imports
last manl'n amounting to $53,100,000 , while
fbr the same time of last year the surplus
of exports was only $ I3COOOCO. The extra-
ordlnaryvbalance of trade In our favor thus
continues to Increase without any abate
ment. We have made a net Import of go'.d
during the month , amounting to $29,500,000 ;
but that was largely dub to bills of ex-
ehan&o Brawn against exports of previous
months and Yield back for temporary In
vestment.- ,
MlTtvB president's message favors the recog
nition of an Independent future government
for Cuba , to bo 'founded on the vote of the
whole people of Cuba , and not that or the
Insurgents alone. The junta , I understand ,
has acccpt.-dl . this as a satisfactory arrange ,
ment , and the Insurgents , whom they repre
sent , will work In full accord with the
prc > * idc.nit'8 position. His message' serves to
fully justify the complete confidence re
posed In him by the American people
throughout this crisis. He. has brought Into
Hctlon every honorable means for the > pres
ervation of peace , and ncMi that 'those ' nave
been exhausted ! , he turns the momentous
affair over to the. court Of last resort and ,
in the consciousness of duty thus far faith
fully performed , stands rsady to enforce
their verdict , bo It honorable pcaco or hon
orable war.
* No nation was ever so near a war ns this
and cucaped from It ; 'Mill , there la yet I.1 ft
come ground for hope of a peaceful settle
ment. Much depend * hexwe-ver , upon fiery
pechc3 and their Influence ! upon congress ,
Qoncrnl Lee's testimony before "the " * senate
feommlttee- forrtgn affairs was conserva
tive and to his credit , bscau&j It was de
void of nensatlonal effort. Its effect , there
fore * , should be to tame down rather than
Inflamrt the members of congress , and there
by prevent precipitate action such as would
bring about hostilities.

CHICAGO , April 16. The strength of the
foreign wheat markets and the belief that
Impending hostilities will cause a rise In
prices made n'neat today almost as strong
as It was weak yesterday and resulted In
an advance of 2c In July. Foreigners ac
cepted freely of yesterday's cable offers.
Corn made the unusual advance of % c ,
while oats closed ' ,4/4c higher , both mar
kets being affected principally by whoit.
Provisions irhow little change.
Traders In wheat were treated to a gen
uine surprise at the opening. In spite of all
the selling done 'nere yesterday of millions
of bushels by the Important long Interests ,
and notwithstanding the drop of 3c a bu.
In July , all foreign markets came higher.
Liverpool In particular was sttong , showing
advances ranging from Ud to % d , A fea
ture of the advance at Liverpool was the
fact that fne July price there was 2c higher
than the prevailing price In this market , or
considerably above the average shipping
rates. New York reported that accept
ances of wheat In all positions made by
cable from there yesterday would be the
heaviest of the season , practically every
thing offered being taken. It was evident
from t'nls that the belief In war over
shadowed everything else In the minds of
the foreigners. The opening trades In July
were at from 85q to 83Hc , against 84XQ )
8l4c at the close yesterday. For a moment
or two the market hesitated. Then It com
menced to advance and for forty-five min
utes the buying demand was simply enor
mous. All classes of traders came Into the
market for wYieat. It was not a one-man
market ; the demand was general and broad.
The ordinary news of the day waa as com
pletely Ignored as It was yesterday , Trad
ers paid but little attention to anything
but the foreign demand for American
wheat , but this was sulllclent. Not until
the price had advanced to 87c was there
any marked selling pressure. This price ,
'nowever , was well above calls and selling
against these privileges , coupled with lib
eral realizing of a general kind , put a stop
to the advance and caused the market to
recede slowly to SGHc. Apparently by this
time the demand for wheat had been pretty
well satisfied , for although the market re
acted to S i'/tc , It was done slowly , t'ne lat
ter point not being reached until about
11:30. : During the last half hour of the
short Saturday session the market was
comparatively quiet , but firm , with prices
keeping within a Uc margin. Northwest
receipts were light , Minneapolis and Dulut'n
reporting 150 cars , against 171 last week
and 121 a year ago. Chicago receipts were
77 cars. The addition to contract stocks
today amounted to 101,000 bu. Clearances
from Atlantic ports were 719,000 bu. The
world's shipments Monday are expected to
show about 7GOOCOO bu. Lslter sales ot July
yesterday , which were placed at that time
at 5,000,000 bu. , were estimated today by
many as high as 8,000,000 bu. , and as t'nls
was believed to have practically put him
out of the July deal It undoubtedly had a
good deal to do with the broadening out of
trade. This belief was strengthened by the
fact t'nat today his dealings were compara
tively Insignificant. The closing price for
July was 86T4c.
Corn was strong from the start. There
was quite heavy buying all day , many
prominent local players being caught short
by the unexpected jump In wheat , a sharp
advance In cables and by heavy accept
ances over night. Tne price at one time
showed a cent advance. May ranged from
30c to 29ic and 'Closed % < 8 > ? ic higher at
There waa an active general trade In
oats. Prices were maintained for some tltn ,
but broke rapidly under heavy selling. The
market closed rather easy. May ranged
from 2614c to 25c and closed WiiVtC higher
at 2574c.
Provisions were very dull , most of the
trading done being In lard. War talk and
fne strength of the grain markets caused
a small early advance , which was lost later
under selling .by local packers. The close
was steady. May pork 2'/4e lower at $9.77 % ,
May lar < ? 2 ic Higher at $5.1754 arid .May
ribs 2c lower at $5.12i/ & .

LONDON , April 17. Uncertainty Is the
main feature In the money market , the ease
or stringency of the near future depending
on peace or war between Spain and the
United States. The Bank of England Is
doing everything to attract gold. Tne stock
market Is comparatively quiet , owing to the
timidity felt In view of the present uncer
tainty. Practically the whole list , however ,
shows a decrease , first class securities suf
fering with the others. Consols are V4 point
lower , and English railway securities sYiow
a decline of 1 to 1H points. Spanish 4s
have been the center of Interest from which
nil departments took' their cues. There was
a net fall In Spanish 4s of 6 points , making
a drop of 20 points from the top price of
the year. Even wltnout a war , a reduction
of Interest from 4) ) per cent to 2 per cent , or
an equivalent heavy coupon tax. Is regarded
probable. All the internationals partici
pated In the depression , notable Italians ,
Q reeks ; Argentines and Braslllans. Ameri
can railroads were very mercurial. All
closed lower , though little selling was re
corded. Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul
securities headed the decrease with a fall
of 2 % points. Louisville & Nashvlllo fell
3 % points , AtcYilson preferred the same.
Denver & nto Grande preferred , Erie firsts ,
New Ycrk Central & Hundaon River. North
ern Pacific and Union Pacific preferred all
fell 1 point or more. Canadian Pacific and
Orand Trunk ranged from. 1H to 3 ,

Receipts were a little larger thnr. a week
ago , 158 cars of stock of rut kinds being
eportcd in as against eighty-four last Bat-
irday. In fact It was a pretty fair run for
.he last of the week , but the number was
made up pretty largely of hogs and sheep ,
'here being only about the usual supply of
attle.
The receipts of cattle this week were
.ulte large for this market as will be noted
rom the above table , t'nere being quite a
leclded gain over previous week. The re-
lelpts of hogs were also larger than the
Lverage for the last month , and the same
was true of sheep.
CATTLE There were about fifty loads
if cattle reported In the yards today , w'nlch
was very fair for the last day of the week
nd more than Chicago and Kansas City
> otih together. The most of the cattle were
icef steers , some fifteen loads of Montana
jay fed cattle being Included among the
ecelpts. 30 , >
The market as a. jvhole was slow and
.raggy and there was a very- marked a'j-
cnce of life and energy" to the trade.
Tnere was some inquiry for fat beef cat-
le , but It was of an indifferent character ,
ho buyers acting as It they did not much
tare whether they gotu-nny cattle or not.
The result was a slow and easier market.
Butchers' stock sold but even , cows and
heifers were slow and Weak and It took a
good deal of hard work and considerable
Ime , considering fne few here , to effect a
learance. . '
Practically nothing' was- doing in the line
f stockers and feeders ! the market as
usual on a Saturday b 4ng very quiet.
The cattle market tMs week has been
'ar from satisfactory to the soiling inter
ests , A3 values have experienced a heavy
break. The light demand for meat prod
ucts , coupled wlfn a IllteraUrun of. cattle ,
has caused a general decline at'alKmarket
points , "and iwhlle the ! ' decline. ' , ih . > beeji-
heavler om some ktitdi * . than 'on other's no
kind of cattle na - * oaped.- Heavy and
coarse beef jfteers havebecti the worst suf-
terers , the market on Coat kind o/ccattle'be-
nsr 25@30o lower than tu week Ago , and in
extreme cases many 'sailers would' say 40c
lower. Tidy little cattle have been the beat
sellers and In consequence are [ only 10@20o
lower. Choice corn fed heifers have felt the
decline about a * little as any kind of stock.
but the medium grade * of both cows and
Yielfers are 1015c lower than a week ago.
Btockers and feeders are also low , the heav
iest decline being , on iheavy feeders , which
have been extremely slow sellers all the
week. The country seems to have grown
afraid of stock cattle at current prices
with fat cattle declining BO sharply. / ! > .
HOOS Considering that It wai the last day of
he week , the receipt * of hog * were large , clone
.o eighty load ! being on Bile. Aa has been the
ca e all the week , the quality was good end
there was no causa for eompalnt- ! that scare ,
even on the parUof the buyen. '
Th market waa a .big ( o lower 'and wa * none
oo active at the decline that Is , ( be demintj
waa not general and the buying was routined to
n. few houtes , tome doing very little or nothing.
However , there was a fair movement and the
mosti of the hogs changed hands early. The
clo e of the market was not materially different
from the opening , but It U safe to eay that It
wr. no better.
Mixed nous , cuch as brought 3. 5 yesterday ,
old for the moit part at S3.CO today , with
some prime butcher weights at SS.7 . *
The general tendency of the hbff market all
the week has-been downward. In , ' fact the week
opened at a decline , and. though there were
occasional rallies , the movement was mainly
In the direction ot a lower level for values.
This has bctn true , not. only of the SoutlTOmaha
market , but of all others as well , . .Buyers have
seemed to be afraid to .buy only as there might
be 'an Immediate demand to be filled at once , all
speculative buying apparently being eliminated
by the uncertainty of the future course of busi
ness. While the downward movement of 'values
was very gradual. It amounted to about -H c
for the week. The week closes with the market
at the low point of the. month to date and In
fact at ) the lowest point touched since th * last tof
March
6HREP There were plenty of lambs In the
yards today , but not many sheep. The market
as a whole was clew and weak and very murh
Inclined to draw , A few mutton shaep were
offered and Hold at price * that were not much
different , but the lamb market waa slow and
lower and sellers complained that buyers d'd '
not Mem to want many ; lamb * . The fact thnt
It was near th end ot th week probably had
much to do with the Indifference or buyers , but
the market also seemed to , partake of tne gen
eral weaknes * pervading the live , slock trade.
