A bad storm of mow and rain was In progress, which made tho cattlu appear In bad form, but still they brought very satisfactory prices. Tho market on beef steers could safely bo quoted steady today as compared with yesterday, ot as compared with tho eloie of last week prices are. nt least a dlmo higher. Tho light receipts made trade ac tive, and tho market soon came to a close Inr lack of cattlu to sell. Tho cow market wna In nbout the same condition as tho trade on steers. Receipts Tvero light nnd the demand nulto liberal. mo that prices wero good nnd llrm. Cholro heifers wero particularly good sellers and brought good strong prices. Hulls, calves and stags sold In just about tho same notches as they did yesterday. Tho stocker and feeder trado was In had ehapo today. Speculators have n good many cattle on hand, and the bad condition of tho weather will, of course, shut off tho demnnd from tho country, and for that reason they did not want nny more cattle on hand. It was practically impossible to got a bid on common stuff today, and on such kinds prices can safely be quoted 15c lower than they were a week ego.

Dun's Weekly Ro view of Trade tomorrow will say: While tho tuslucss world has looked with amazement at the performance of the Mock market trade has maintained Its even course nnd there aro many mure points of gain than ot loss, with even n slightly steadier tone In the dry goods market. Thero were some small sellers at recent low prices.

Though capacity has been wonderfully enlarged during tho last tlve monthM there arc still manv ex tensions and new plants contemplated. It Is also probable that tho customary sum mer repairs of furnaces and mills will be accomplished within a shorter period than usual, ns contracts call for heavy deliveries right through tho season. Permanence of prosperity in this industry is becoming more certain, as there Ih less evidence of In tinted prices.

Week In Wnll Street One of Excited Speculation, NEW YORK. April 6. Bradstrcefs PI nnnclal Review tomorrow will say: Although tho closing of tho Stock ex change for both Good Prlday anil today has shortened tho business week In Wall street to four days It will rank as one of the most exciting porlods In the history of tho stock market. Enormous dealing In securities, with u speculative spirit which seemed running to extremes, were the rule throughout. The presence of the public as buyers of securities was on a larger scale t inn for years past, hut, on the oilier hnnd, the manipulation was of a most open kind nml was conducted with u degree of skill which litis never been equaled. Heavy rea lizing sales wero mnile both in I'nlted States Steel slocks, which were the leading feature or the market, and the prominent railroad shares. At the same time buying demand seemed to absorb tho heavy offer ings nnd any favorable rumors wero ac cepted with avidity uitd served to keep up the nilvances. Not until Thursday, when the holiday In duced realizing by tho profe.slon,ils and when a rise ln the rate ror cull loans to 6 per cent seemed to Indicate that the money market wns unablo to support the exag gerated speculation uny further, was there a nensiuiu cnecK to tho iiuiiisn movement, Tho outpour of stocks on that day was on the largest linsnlhln urnli, nnil nrlres vlelded all around in spite of the contldent predic tion that next week will witness a renewal of tho same conditions In tho market. Tin market seemed to be passlnf7 through one of those periods of sneculiitlve excitement when facts arc disregarded. At the satno time It must bo noted Mutt n good deal of attention was given to clrcutnstnnces like tho favorable crop outlook and the contin ued Increase in railroad earnings, us well ns to me ntivnntngcous position or me iron and other industries. -Money conditions were not ubandoned nnd the tlecMon of the secretnry of the treasury to purchase bonds for tho sinking fund was considered as offsetting Mm effect of the current gold shlnmetils. Tho treasurv our- eliaseii of bonds amounted to nearly J3,m.i,(Aiij and the disbursements on that account re duced tho drain on the banks for uccount of the treasury to iui Inslgnlllcitnt sum. Tho Importance of this In tho eyes of tho specu lative community resides In tho fact that It Is generally admitted that a large amount of gold will have to go to Europe during tho present spring on account or ttto uerman n tin other government loans which nro be. lug brought out. IIHAl)STInET'.S review op trade Itetnll Easter Trade Curtnlleil liy IIiiImk nnil llnil lloniln. NEW YORK, April C Bradstrcefs to morrow will say: Speculative activity, seeking expression In the markets for securities, cereals, raw cot ton and some hog products, has rather tenneti to ooseure interest in the general distributive trade, which lias, however. been temporarily disturbed In retail lines :it least by widespread unfavorable weather conditions. Whllo tho general tendency of mis speculation nas ooen mulish, n marked exception was that furnished by bearish movements In wheat and corn, which hnvo lowered the level of these products tor the time being. Tho general consensus Is that retail casici trade has been to somu extent curtailed by rains In the cities and bv bad rouds In tho country districts, but, ns above noteu, tnese are reany only temporary phases, nnd the general outlook, alike ns in crops and as to spring trade as a whole. Is in a nigu uegrco encouraging. The textile trades continue a source of illscotiragemeiit to niaiiivacmrcrs, out tno strength of rnw cotton, despite some recurrlnir weakiifss. Hhows that nt nrescnt prices, which arc Uc nuuvu ia.il wcck, mat staple nus developed muni' 1 1 luiiun, Liquidation of tired holders In wheat and a drive against tho end nc Ch cauo bid In teresls In corn havo brought nbout a lower rango oi values, but it is worth nothing that a heavy export business has been done In wheat at the decline, nnd both of these cereals close above the lowest. Tho statistical situation of lard has been Instru mental in bringing about a sharp rise, sympathized In hv other hoe tirmlnetH. It Is hnrd to sen how Iron nnd steel trade conuiuons can nc improved from the stand point of the sellot. Demand is large, prices niu simiiK mm in raw anil unisncu lines uie ouiiooK is regarded as very satisfac tory. Price lldvancos havo been larirplv confined to ilnishcd products, the features being an ndvance of $2 per ton In plates at Chicago and of. $1 in swel hoop prices nt Pittsburg, Southern Iron Is strong and the enuime in me oraucn or trade is well Illus trated by the fact that some old evnort orders nro being shipped at a price $4 per inn luwrr iiiim muse now ruling, iron ore rates hnvo not Vet been iinnniineod. lint contracts for Bessemer pig are being made freely for delivery two or three months niionu. western liar, billet nnd rod manu facturers aro booked so far ahead that they aro practically out of the market and east ern manilfacturci-H aro considering ad vances. Western agricultural implement men complain of tardy deliveries, which Is largely true of the trado as a whole, how ever, and some manufacturers arc buying as far ahead as December next. Eastern shoe manufacturers are hurrying shipments to complete spring orders and the aggregato for the week is again In ex cess of Inst week and year. Leather Is llrm but quiet nt Boston. At Chicago largo users have supplied their wants and sales arc small, but t.murrs aro holding prices steady. Heavy leather Is rather easier at Philadelphia, In sympathy with tho weak ness In hides. Weather conditions, except In tho northwest, havo been rather un favorable to planting and ground prepara tion. This Is particularly truo In the south, where cotton planting Is retarded. Heavy fertilizer shipment!) point to a largo In crease in acreage in Mm south Atlantic states. On the other hnnd heavy snows In Kansas nnd Nebraska and no less heavy rains In tho cereal world have visited wheat prospects, which 111 Kansas. Missouri and Nebraska aro reported excellent. Ohio's wheat condition shows marked improve ment over last year. In California weather conditions havo not been favorable and deciduous fruits have been hurt by frosts. Wheat.

Mortgages on tho flrst- class buslnesa property within tho central part of town in largo amounts and for five year terms can bo written now for 414 per cent. On tho best outside business prop erties and residences tho rnto Is G to 014 and on very few loans nowadays, except for amounts under $1,000, Is a higher rato than 6 per cent charged. Thcso low interest rates, according to tho views of tho agent quoted, aro being overlooked by Investors, Small properties can bo picked up ln almost any part of the city that will yield a gross income of 10 to 12 per cent on tho total cost, which moans in most cases at least G per cent net, nnd If 40 per cent of the money can bo borrowed at G per cent It loaves a larger margin of profit on tho balanco of tho In vestment. Thcro aro properties which can bo bought nt figures which will yield a much better icturn than this, and with prices as low as they am now nnd Intorest rated down to what must bo also almost tha bottom notch it is a wonder to many observers that thero la not more money in tho market seeking good, profitable Invest ment. Bcnlcr3 report that ovory flno day brings out n number of Inquirers, however, nnd they generally express thq, belief that If the weather wero to remain ngrecablo for a few days there would bo moro business done. This week hns been a quiet ono all around, Pow renters have been out house hunting, nnd In most rental agencies tho lists of vacant dwellings aro about as long ob n week or two n'go.

As fur ns run bo tern, Jnpnnci.) threats hnvo not caused n rlpplo of excite uient here. Tho government concludes a lengthy statement respecting tho Manchurlnn agree ment In these words: "Whllo tho Russian Government malntnlns Its present organiza tion in Manchuria to prcscrvo order ln vicinity of tho broad frontiers of Russia and remains faithful to Its original and oft-ropcated political program, It will quietly await the further courso of events." The Olliclal Messenger today publishes a detailed review of tho negotiations con ducted by tho allied powers with tho Chi nese plenipotentiaries at Tien Tsln and Pckln nnd of tho negotiations that led to tho presentation of the Prcnch draft ot peace negotiations, which consisted of twclvo points, but which are not yet con cluded. Tho Russian government thon tunkes tho following statement: Stntciucnt of lttiNliui Roverniuenl. Whllo anticipating an early settlement of tho questions affecting the relations be twecn all the powers and China, tho Rus sian government on its pnrt considered It necessary to concern Itself with the es tablishment of a permanent order of things In the Chinese territories, nlong thu lmrilets of which tho Ritsslan-AHlatli' possessions extend for a distance of S.ono verts ifi.soo miles). To this end nrnvlul.imil rlii,. conditions for a modus vlvendl were ag'ieil upon first between the Russian uu itar.v authorities and tho military goveriaiis of tho three Manchurlan provinees. lho reference to tho Institution of a local civil administration subsequently, and after a careful consideration or nil tin. ,.ir,.nm. stances, the Russian government drew up ii l. nraii oi a specini agreement with t lilna. providing for the gradual evacua tion of Mnncliurln, as well as for tho udnp Hon ot provisional measures to assure peace In that territory and to prevent tho recurrenoo of evenis ntmllnr in iim.n nt nifii. yt'iii, t nioriunaieiy, with tho object of ptlrrlng up public opinion against Rus sia, alarmist rumors were circulated In the foreign press rcgnrdltig tho purpose ami Intentions of the Russian government. I'lilslflcd texts of a treaty, establishing a protectorate over Manchuria, wero quoted, nnd erroneous reports wero designedly sprend of an nllcgcd agreement between Russia and China. As a mattct of fact, this ngrecmcnt was to serve as a basis for the restoration to China, as contemplated by the Russian government, of the province of Manchuria which, In consequence of the alarming events of last year, were oeettpied by Rus sian troops. In order that the requisite mill. iiii.i measures inigiu nc tiiKcn, It was Im perative that the question should be set t led ono way or the other. It was Impos sible to lay down forthwith, by means of a mutual agreement, tho conditions of tho evacuation of Manchuria. According to tho news received, serious hindrances wero placed in tho way of tho conclusion of such nn agreement, and, in consequence, Its acccptaneo by China, which was In dispensable, for the gradual evacuation of the province, proved to bo Impossible. As regards the eventual restoration r n... province to China, It Is manifest that such intention can only ho carried out when tho normal situation Is completely restored to Mm empire and tho central capital estab lished and strong enough to guarantee Rus sia against a recurrence of tho events of last year. .Tours ScmlK Chloroform to llrodicr.
