NEW YOUK , May 19. n. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow : While the buying of 200,000 tons of Bes semer pig at I'lttsburg gave reason for the advance In prices to $16.CO , with grey forgo quoted at $15.50 , It Is not quite as clear as It might ba that the output , which was I'SD.OOO tons weekly , according to the Pitts- burg record , and has since been largely In creased by the addition of many furnaces , will continue to fall below the demand , for the requirements In various departments for manufactured products , It must bo recog nized , arc scarcely measured and do not BL'cm ns much diminished as might bo ex pected by higher prices and long delay In delivery. In plates , for Instance , the demand covers many thousand tons for delivery at Chicago and at I'lttsburg , and a I'hlladel'- phla concern accepted several thousand tons and afterwards'was obliged to refuse more , one other coacern In the sarao city refusing over 12,000 tons.

Higher prices which have been asked for several months are now more generally paid for men's wear , though most works are covered by early orders for four months ahead or more. Leather shows hesitation. There was ap parently questioning whether the rise has not been too much. At Chicago the same question runs through the hide market , though advances are slight. Speculators are doing a largo business in wool , some foreign and some American. They have bought about 7,000,000 pounds of reported , and about 1.000.UOO pounds of domestic territory wool Is also said to have been sold for export at about 42 cents , cFean. But this does not cast much light on the question whether speculative sales abroad have yet been covered , or will be within a short time , nor is there any indication that the market hero will respond to the tempo rary foreign demand. The orders for woolen goods are decidedly better , nnd although the woolen association Is not yet in operation It seems to have given a certain kind of confidence to prices in the woolen goods department. Cotton declined n small fraction on Mon day , owing to freer port movement , which made it probable that at the end of this week the amount In sight would about equal Fast year's record-breaking figures. But there was a recovery of all the decline in middling unlands nnd a net gain in option prices. Wheat has been rising during the last week , and nobody can tell why , although the exports In the last two weeks have been 10,569,006 bubhcls , flour included , against 8,135,121 bushels last year. Better shipments wore expected after the opening of naviga tion and there was little use of considering the dreams of western speculators and crop reports at this time. No one can form a fair Judgment at the middle of May re garding the output , which will bo visible to everybody In the middle of July. The best that can be done Is to accept the crop re ports , official nnd otherwise , with almost in definite allowances. Better shipments are expected after the opening of navigation and are , in fact , coming , the outward move ment from Duluth at ono instance reaching nearly 4,000,000 bushels , Lack of rain in some places caused n large reduction in all estimates for that state , and Pacific exports are decreasing , as holders are less ready to accept current prices with the prospect of a shortage. Failures for the week have been 147 in the United States , against 250 last year , and seventeen in Canada , against twenty-nine last year. VlKAXClAlt IlKVIKW. IwlTeet of I2x-iove.rm > r FliMvcr'H Death IN Fult 111 , All I.lni-M. NEW YORK , MaylO , Bradstreet's review of the Now York stock market tomorrow 'Will say : Ex-Governor Flower had been the most conspicuous bull leader for the last two years and the success which had- attended his operations in People's Gas , Rock Isfand , New York Air Brake , Federal Steel , Brook lyn Rapid Transit and other leading stocks had given him an Influence with the upecu- latlvo public unparalleled In the history of the American markets. The entirely un expected news of his death which awaited Wall street on last Saturday morning seeme < to many the signal for n decided break in the market. On the other hand , it was quickly recognized that the large flnancla Interests engaged In the market \\oulil bo sure to prevent any borlous mlEhap , This proved to be the case and though nt the opening on Saturday morning a flood of short eel'lIng and liquidation was met , tvhlch carried People's Gas down from 119 at the preceding night's closeto 101 , Brooklyn Rapid Transit from 117 % to 100 and Federal Steel from C1U to CO , with corresponding decline in not only the Flower stocks but In other parts of the list , there was almost instantly a sharp rally , Further assistance \\a.s given to tbo.rnar- ket by the appearance of nn excellent , bonk statement on Saturday and by the assurance that the leading banks 'would , so far as it , was proper for them to do so , extend all needfuf accommodation to stock market bor rowers. It also appeared that the late Mr , Flower had no large speculative holdings , that the firm in v'hlcu he was a upeclal jartner would continue without change nnd : hat his associates were fully convinced of the value of his properties. The Indisposition of the general public to buy stocks and the tendency to reduce to eng holdings were also no less marked. London , though at first seeming to require stocks at the concessions , afterwards turned a seller and was credited with disposing of considerable holdings of Baltimore & Ohio securities and of Southern Pacific when they exhibited a rising disposition. The marked strength of the bond market and advance of government bond values together with the relative steadiness of the dividend paying stocks were taken into account by the mar ket , but on the other hand , the granger shares seemed too heavy , a fact attributed to the constluuanco of unfavorable crop rumors. The support , which has already been described , was in the earlier part of the week largely concentrated In { he Flower stocks nnd the Industrials. Sugar was made active and strong again and further re coveries scored in People's Gas , Federal Steel , Brooklyn Rapid Transit and their companions. The decision of Governor Roosevelt to call an extra session of the New York legis lature for the purpose of amending Iho Ford franchise tax bill will bo another incident having favorable effect on speculative i.entl- ment. Nevertheless , by Thursday a renewed reaction took place in the Flower stocks and Industrials , whllo the report seemed to shift to the grangers and the dividend payers. On Friday the market was generally dull and Irregular nnd showed a renewed disposition to sell off. WEI3ICI..Y CLUAHIXfJ HOUSE TOTALS. AKKrcKUte of IliiHlnenH TrniiMuctloiiM l > y the.

Bradstreet's of to morrow will say : The feature of the trade situation this week Is the renewed strength of wheat and other cereals , Iron and steel , and last but not least , raw wool , which has heretofore lagged behind other staples in a discourag ing way. The price making features 1m cereals are not entirely of encouraging J character , being chiefly the less favorable reports ns to the growing crop west and northwest and advices of insect damage in fluencing western markets toward a higher plane In face of a dlscouraglngiy small ex port business , caused In some degree by the continuance of the fctrlko of grain handlers nt Buffalo , checking the movement of large quantities of grain to the seaboard , The added strength In Iron is based large/ ! upon heavy buying of pig Iron In the central west , sympathetically influencing prices nt all markets. Reports are of old and new furnaces going into blast , but these advices and the now plants projected to be built apparently do not reassure consumers , who are beginning to place orders for the first part of next year at present prlcrs. Excitement in iron Is not confined entirely ( o this country , how ever , as shown by a speculative advance at leading British markets , but a bample of the Irregularity caused by the immense cur rent world's demand is furnished in the case of foreigners seeking supplies in this coun try at the same time that orders for rail's have been placed by American companies with English makers. Foreign wool markets continue above American , heavy sales of Australian wools for re-export are reported and available supplies of this class of wool are nearly ex hausted at Boston , Aside from the exceptions noted , the tend ency Is toward steadiness in prices , and most provisions , coffee and sugar among groceries , lend and copper among metals and cotton and its various manufactures among textiles are oil reported unchanged on tbo week. Speculation in cotton lags notwithstanding good trade advices at home and abroad and favorabfu crop reports. Lumber , as for a long time past , continues in excellent de mand. Building activity continues and the tendency Is apparently upward. Refined 1 sugar Is in rather better demand , but raw a are rather quiet at last week's decline. Hides and leather are strong at old quotations , n new feature reported on this week being n good demand for some grades of upper leather on export account. Less favorable weather has tended "to disturb .demand at retail , but wholcsala lines of trade are re garded as very fair and even satisfactory for the advanced stage of the season. Wheat , including Hour , shipments for the week aggregate 2-12i.'OG bushels , against 3,284,182 bushel ! ! 1'ast week , -1,004,632 bushels In the corresponding week of 1S98 , 2,655,862 bushels in 1S97 , 1.906,003 bushels in 189C and 2,734,023 bubhela in 1S95. Since July 1 of this season the exports of wheat acgre- gate 203,271,054 bushels , against 206,587,845 bushels last year. Corn exports' " for the week aggregate 2,753,414 bushels , ' against 2,768,694 bushels last week , 5,550,579 bushels in this week a year ago , 3,190,043 bushels in 1897 , 1,056,419 bushels In 1890 and 1,032,273 bushels in 1893. Since July of this season corn exports ag gregate 149,032,221 bushels , against 160,153- 123 bushel's during the same period a year ago.

HURON , S. D , , May 19. ( Special. ) The 3epartment of Agriculture cllraato and crop Bulletin of the Weather bureau , Issued to day , gives this summary of crop conditions n South Dakota : The first four days of the week \vcro warm , and the soir being amply moist in all but a tow cxtremo western localities , all vegetation made rapid and healthy growth , ; he late sown wheat , oats and barley germ inating promptly. The latter part of the week was windy , cool and rainy , checking growth , and Friday night , or Saturday morn ing , heavy to killing frost occurred over the northeastern , and light to heavy over the southeastern portion of the state. The Intensity of the frost appears to have varied from light to heavy and killing in only fcl'lghtly separated localities , and It would seem that the attendant low temperature did not continue very long , but Ice varying from one-eighth to one-sixth of an inch In thickness formed on water In palls and tuba as far south as Miner and Lake counties. In some Helds in the east-central and north eastern portions of the state the wheat , oats and barley are reported cut down' to the ground , whllo In others only slightly affected. In a number of localities it Is -s considered that fruits , such as plums , apples and currants , are materially damaged , as they \ero In full blossom , and some Holds of oats and barley permanently damaged in places. It Is generally considered that wheat will sustain no damage , and the effect of the frost will be only temporary and con ducive to luxuriant stoollng. There was no corn sufficiently advanced to bo hurt. For tunately , the soil In the frost districts is amply .lolst , and cFoudy , cool weather fol ] lowed , which will aid wheat , oats and barley in recuperating from what injury they may have sustained. It Is too early to determine or estimate the actual damage. Gardens were fairly well advanced In southern locali ties and doubtless suffered , Some corn Is showing above the ground In southern localities , and the planting of this crop Is well advanced. Grass now affords good pasturage in most localities , and the stand Is very good. Potato planting is far advanced and nome fields arc beginning to show well in south ern counties , but in some localities they wore hurt by frost. Fair to copious rains occurred during the week , In some localities accompanied by small hall , but no damage Is reported. There are localities In the Black Hills counties , however , where the rain Is reported de ficient ; elsewhere the soil Is generally amply moist. Flax sowing has begun and the Indica tions are that this work will bo pushed dur ing the coming week. Wheat , oat and barley seeding is prac tically completed. Some alfalfa rcsecdlng has been necessary In the limited southeastern localities where It is raised , MemlierH of lira ml CominlHNlon , PIERRE , S.

Jackson , the explorer , on the snow-fields of Franz-Josef Land , and of the valuable aid he received at Jackson's camp. The object of the I < ram expedition was to reach the North Pole , Mr. Jackson's object was to 0 ascertain the importance of Franz-Josef Land as a way to the Pole. For those who are interested in the Arctic regions in a scientific way , we need only to say that Mr. Jackson has fully demonstrated that the path to the Pole does not lie through Franz-Josef Land , For those who want a fascinating book of travel and exploration , we add that in "A Thousand Days in the Arctic" such a book is to be found.
