NEW YORK. May 24. R, O. Dun & Co.'s
Review of Trade tomorrow will say.
The Inbor situation Is the cloud hovering
over the business world, but the dlfllculttcs
are not sufllclently widespread at present
to seriously Interfere with the progress of
manufacture and distribution. Some settle
ments of stilkes have been effected during
the week and others seem probable nt an
early date. Meanwhile, prices held tlrm.
the capacity of producing plants In the
lending Industries Is well employed and
crop ndvlccs are satlsfnctory.
A feeling of confidence in the permnnetice
of values npptnrs to hnve settled In nil
divisions of the iron and steel manufactures.
To this may be attributed the decrease In
orders for dlstnnt delivery. purchnsers
merely contracting for their requirements
for one to two months In advance. Trim-
3iillllty regarding the future Is undoubtedly
uc to the nctlon of the large combination
which has made no etfort to secure exorbi
tant prices, but manifests nn Intention to
maintain quotations nt the current level.
Independent producers show a disposition
to work nlong the same lines nnd the net
result Is less scrambling to get orders
plnced, but not that the actual demand Is
smaller. Notwithstanding much talk of
dullness In pig Iron, llessenier Is llrmly held
nt 116.75 delivered nt Pittsburg or 116 nt Val
ley furnaces. Foundry Irons nre somewhat
easier.
All lines of flnlshc'd steel ore crowded to
the limit of productive capacity and ma
chinery houses at Chicago nro graining ma
chinists' demands rather than risk delay.
At some other points employers are more
stubborn nnd there Is prospect of serious
Interruption to business.
Although slightly smnller thnn In the two
S receding phcnomennl weeks, shipments of
oots and shoes from the east were more
than 10,000 cases nnd far In excess of tho
snmo week in eurllcr years. Leather has
been strong. Cheuper grades of upper
leather are less uctlve, owing to the better
demand for glazed kid nnd calfskin.
Textile fnbrlcs still exhibit the lenst ani
mation nnd conditions at Frill River cotton
mills inn fur from encournglng, further re
duction In time nnd possibly in wnges being
under discussion. Woolen mills exhibit it
llttlo more nctlvlty and nre buying of rnw
mnterlnls.
Correspondents report the winter wheat
outlook steadily Improving, nnd there Is
every reason to anticipate an abundant
harvest. A few sections hnvu slightly re
duced acreage, and losses by drouth In
Texas may amount to nbout half tho orlg
Innl area planted. The production In that
state, however, Is never sufllclently henvy
to be an important factor In the total for
the whole country. The most encournglng
feature Is the decreased amount of harm
done by Hessian tiles, which enrller In the
season threatened to be severe. In thu
face of better domestic crop prospects quo
tations contlnje tlrm, Injury In Germany
affecting foreign markets. Atlantic exporta
hnvo been large for the last week, Includ
ing flour, amounting to 3,692,413 bushels,
against 2,173,356 bushels in the same week
Inst yenr nnd 1,646,624 In 1899.
Speculation In May corn has quieted
down, but the general level of this cereal
continues far nbove normnl prices, anil
more liberal receipts have been nttrnctcd to
Interior cities for the week. 3.667,042 bushels
being received, against 1,691,786 last year.
On tho other hand foreign buying Is re
stricted, Atlantic exports being only 1,430,

Day Comes ,cnr llelna Dullest Mni'r
Not ember Election.
NEW YORK, May 2I.-A final spurt of
activity nnd strength In tho stock market
was nil that saved the day from being the
dullest in tho amount of business done
since the November election. The Tobteco
stocks, American and Continental were the
features of the market. The volume of
business In them grew ns the advance pro
gressed, ami all of the room traders, hun
gry for n stock that would move easily,
tailed onto the movement. Uy bidding up
prices smartly they ascertained that very
tew selling orders for the stock were In
the market above the prevailing price level,
These technlcnl conditions were responsible
for the movement of stocks so fnr ns nny
news thnt wns published would Indicate,
The dny's gain registered for American
Tobacco wns s points nnd for Continental
lobacco 44. The tliml strength of the mar
ket wns duo to this movement and to the
late accentuation of strength In other
stocks which had shown signs of firmness
and strength earlier In the day. The weak
points were also pulled up, so thnt the
losses, which were at one time very pen
ernl, wero either wiped ojt or greatly ie
dnced nil around.
The Erles, the Wabash, Missouri Pnclllc
and Atchison wero good points of resist
ance nit day. Tho movement of t'nlon Pa
cific was a notable Influence on the while
mnrket, Its break to 9S being the principal
factor In the early weakness of the market
nnd Its rally nt tho close largely relieving
the depression. The forecast of a Htrong
bank statement, promising n rectiperntlm
In cash by the banks of nearly 15,000,000,
was 11 reviving Influence, although there
has been no lack of money to loon. Yes
terdny s large purchase of newly arrived
gold In the open market In London by the
Hank of England wns the signal thnt the
pressure for gold nt contlnontnl centers had
relaxed; that the requirements In Paris for
tho Russian loan had been satisfied nnd
that London was free to recuperate Its
money market nnd prepnro for some large
future needs. This Is n notnblc relief to
tlio wholo fliiunclal world. The cessation
of thu urgent demand for Northern Pnclflc
nlso relieved apprehension. The result was
an active and llrm close In the market

IIRAIISTHEET'S REVIEW OF TIIAI1IJ
Sijch I nirnrnilty of ISonil Crop Reports
Is Mnrelj- Seen.
NEW YORK, Mny 21 -Rradstreefs to-morrow-
will sny: The general sluatlnn Is
still inrcgly n fnvorable one. the primary
encouraging feature being the fine outlook
for the country's crops. Oenerol distribu
tion, retarded hitherto by the backward
spring, has been stimulated by warm, sunny
weather. Industrial conditions head the
list of disturbing features, but confidence
In conservatism nnd good counsel Is wide
spread, nnd the effect upon general busi
ness exerted by the largest number of Idle
for sevoral years past has been apparently
minimized. '
Thn reports of quiet trade In Iron and
steel come from the enst, where demnnd
for pig Iron lr of a hand to mouth charac
ter. No special activity Is looked for, how
ever, In this brunch, becauso large con
sumers 'ire well supplied, Indeed. Pittsburg
furnaces nro booked well Into July. The
demand for Ilnlslied goods Is ns heavy as
ever, structural mnterlnls. bars nnd plates
being In cfqiecliilly good demand, with
premiums paid for quick delivery, nnd 11
largo now business not nccepted because
of the Inability of mnnufacturers to prom
Iso Immediate, shipments. The only accum
ulation noted In pig Iron Is in the lower
foundry grades, and this Is especially nota
ble ns regards the southern product. Oood
reports come from tho western hardware
trade, tho demand in building lines nnd for
barbed wire fencing being especially nctlve.
Anthracite! conl notes much strength, nnd
demand Is good, lower prices In the future
being apparently nut of thn question. The
southern coal trade Is quieter.
The boot and shoe and allied trades note
considerable nctlvlty In manufacturing
lines, Eastern shoo shipments hnvo again
exceeded thn 100,000 cases mark, and tho
total for the season Is now nearly fAOOO
cases nhead of last year.
Leather llnds ready purchasers among
manufacturers east nnd west, und stocks
do not nccumulnte, Sole lenther prices are
at full quotations, which show a substan
tial advance over some time ngo, while
upper leather Is firm, Hides are r.teady at
the west, but easier In eastern markets.
Such unanimity as to good crop reports
has rarely been seen at this period of the
year. Much was made In speculative grain
circles of dry weather at the nortlvwest, but
recent rains have placed that secftlon In a
favorable condition as regards the spring
wheat. I' rom the winter wheat bolt reports
continue very opllmlsllc. especially favor
able advices being received from Kansas,
which promises a yield of 100.000.ono bushels,
and the only anxiety expressed Is for a
sufficient supply of labor to harvest tho
enorrroiis crop. Recent rains, while retard
ing retail trade, have helped the corn nnd
cotton crops,
The feature of the week In textiles Is a
perceptible Improvement In tho tone of
most cotton goods, which aro In rather bet
ter demand nt large eastern markets, This,
of course, does not apply to the print
cloths situation, which Is one of excessive
stocks, curtailed production nnd of goods
selling below cost In many Instances,
Export shipments of cotton are heavy,
although new business Is lighter. Raw
cotton Is a fraction higher on the week,
hut ouslde Interest Is still small nnd tho
fear of a corner In July deters operations
In that and other old crop months. There
Is more doing In new wool at all markets
and manufacturers remain hopeful, al
though new demands for goods Is still dls.
r.ppoliitlnjj. Especially good advices come
from wholesalers and Johbers In silks and
the raw silk market tends higher on better
demand,
Wheat, including flour, shipments for the
week aggregate 4,799,014 buthels, against 3,-
PSI,9 bushels (corrected) last eek, 8,655.9hS

II R A D.ST R 14 HT' I'lN A . CIAL It K VIEW.
Public SlinUrn Out of Mpreiilntlnn anil
nt Inrllncd In Come In.
NEW YORK, May 24. Rradstreefs Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say;
Liquidation has apparently run Its coure
nnd the stock mnrket Is Inclined to be dull.
The shrlnknge of the trnnsactlnns at the
New York exchange to below l.w00,(00 shares
cash day demonstrates clearly that the
public has not only been shaken out of
speculation, but Is not Inclined to come In
again nt present This N borne out by 11
genernl complaint on the part of Wnll
street Interests that commission business
bus been reduced to a fraction of what It
was before the Northern Pacific corner.
In fact, those developments have altogether
changed the complexion or the stock mnr
ket, rendering It one In which professional
Influences arc uppermo.M, bocausn during
the present week tho movements which oc
curred seemed to be ulmost entirely the
work of manipulators anil the board room
traders supplied 11 very large share of the
activity. Prices wero Irregular and, though
a good deal of steadiness was shown, the
sensitive feeling which still prevails mnde
Itself nppnront in the readiness with which
the list yielded whenever there wns any
symptom of further selling of long stock.
The most Important Incident of the week
was the further pressure which developed
at Iondon In connection with short con
tract In Northern Pnclllc. The bears thcr
cannot obtain the stock at any price, and
while Morgan & Co, seem willing to make
settlements on a money basis with those
who may have contracts with them, thcie
are many outside speculative buyers of
Northern Paclllc who stand out for their
full rights, Tho lxmdon Stock exchange
committee has met this situation by it
further suspension of tho right to buy In
tho stock, which will postpono nny forced
settlement until nbout June 10. At tho
same time the sltuntlon at London in this
connection Is nn unpleasant 0110, nnd still
seems to present some elements of danger
Thnt this Is nppreclated wns shown oil
Thursday, when some scattered foreign
buying orders put Northern Paclllo up to
200 and caused n decided chill In the gen
eral market, prices selling oft all nround
the room. The genernl conclusion, how
ever, seems to be thnt the Ixindon Stock
exchnnge authorities will nvert any serious
disturbance and that real trouble need not
be npprehended,

CATTLE There was a light run of cattle
here tonay, but packers did not seem to
take hold this morning with quite as much
life as usual, and as a result the market
was a little alow In getting started.
Ihe receipts were mostly made up of
beef tters, and the quality of the offer
ings as 11 whole was hardly as good as
yeaterda. On the start packers tried to
buy their supplies a little lower, but sell
ers held on for good, firm prices, and
llnnlly buyers raised their bids a little
and paid Just about steady prices for tho
general run of cattle. It was nn uneven
market, however, from start to finish, as
some sales looked strong, while others
looked weak, and this variation was noticed
In the good cattle as well as in the com
moner Kinds. Tho market on tho whole,
however, averaged up Just about steady.
The supply of cow stuff was light this
morning and the market was In much the
same condition ns the trade on steers.
Some sellers thought they got better prices
than they did yesterday, and others found
It hard to get what they called steady
prices, so that the market was a little
uneven, but Just about steady.
Hulls, calves and stags sold In practi
cally the same notches as they did yester
day. As has been the case nil the week, the
supply of Blockers and feeders on the mar
ket was very light. The few offered today
changed hands at what looked to be steady
prices. Representative sales:

HOGH Ruyers and sellers were rather
far apart In their views this morning, and
as a result thn market waa a little slow
In opening. There was a liberal run of
hogs here today, which made buyers slow
about paying higher prices, but sellers
wero holding for a good advance, ana
were not Inclined to make any conces
sions. The market opened a big nickel
higher than yesterday, and soma or the
packers started out and bought up the
better grades st 15.674, with an occasional
load at 15.70. For the general run of hogs
they were offering tfi.to and 1S.674, which
was about a nickel hlghci than yester
day, but at those prices the hogs did not
move toward the scales nt a very rapid
rate,
As the morning advanced, however, It
became evident that there was not much
chance of getting any better prices, and
as a result sellers began to out loose. The
close of the market was a little weik, as
compared with the opening, but still the
average Is Juit about a nickel higher. The
bulk of all the hogs went at $5.63 and !S.67,t,
with the choice henvy weights going from
w.iu 10 k.w tieprrscntaiivo jnics.
