HAUmVAHt : THADK IMPROV1NO.
The hardwnro Jobbers rejwrt no mnterla
( Imngp for lint week In their line of bus !
tirsn. I'rlccs remain steady , but the de
mnnd for ooiN Is still larger thnn tin
supply. There In , hswcver , no longer i
frtlllng off In tradp , which has been notlcci
for a few weeks pist , but on the contrar ;
jobbers s.iy lint there Is considerable In
truiiio In the orders received. Every on
m-rms to be well pk-asuil with the prevalllni
conditions nnd local dealers have no hesl
tancy In oayln that business has bee :
fully up to their expectations.
The condition of the > dry poods marke
rcmiiln * unclmncrd. Kail orders contlnu
to | Htir In with unusual rapidity , as we
as orders for summer goods which arc fo
Immediate delivery. The leadingfcatur
of the week ha * been the cxtruordlnar
demand for Hags nnd bunting of varlou
qualities to be used for patriotic dl'plajt
At tli Li season of the year dealers usim.l
hav H largu supply In stock to meet th
rrijiilremrntB for the Fourth of July , bu
nt present U lojks ns though the demau
would exceed the supply , und conscquentl
nn advance In the market Is expected. I
other lines price * remain about steady.
The rubber goods men arc beginning t
look cheerful again. They feel confliler
that they will receive n schedule of price
the llrst day of May when they can ogal
ilo buxIneM. The vacation which the
luivo been forced to take for the lust mont
linn made them more anxious thivn ever t
ret out and hustle , for they know thn
there Is plenty of business awaiting then
Their traveling men are all on hand wit
their pencils sharpened ready to take 01
< lem at a moment's notice. There seem
to be no doubt but that the order * will t
Immediately forthcoming.
Shorn arc In good demand at the jot
tilng houses. The country merchuntH ur
buying cautiously , but with a little urgln
they place liberal orders. 1'ractlcully a
the houses now have their rm > n on th
raid with their new Urns of fall sample
and the orders they are sending In the
that their goods ure being well receive
In thn country.
In speaking of the condition of trade
1oc.il Jobber said that few people rfnlh
the fact that shoes are more expensive no
Ihnn they were n few years m/o. but It
nevertheless true. Hides that were 3 cen :
n pound a few years ago ure now brlngln
10 cents per pound , which makes an ai
vnneo of nbout l.:0 on a hide. This i
rourso raise * the price of leather , whlc
linn n corresponding effect upon shoe
The more common grades of shoes , such c
rn worn by the fnrmeri * and luborli :
ilnsse * , are effect ! d the mast.
Tha present condition of the lumber trai
In of a character entirely satisfactory I
the dealers of this city. While the whol

April HM It Is earlier In tha season , stl
thrro was a liberal volume of 'juslnces , ar

the Ail niirc .
NEW YORK , April 30 There was quite nr
extensive taking of profits toda ) after the thre <
days' advance In prices. The realizing talei
clipped off something froni the da's extrem ?
advance , leaving net gains In the railroad Us !
mostly fractional. In ome of tie specialties
notably Bugar , there remained over a point e !
net gain. The bull leaders this morning had ti
face the sentlmentil effect of early declines foi
Americans In London , extending to nearly i
point In some cares. This meant that any ad
vance In prices here would have to carry thi
burden of arbitrage tale Prices were bid ui
at every appearance of confidence nnd the offer
Ingi of the arbitrage broker * were quickly ab
rorbed. Sugar mounted nearl > 4 points and thi
other leading fpcculatlve stock * a point or over
The safe arrival of the * team ilf > Paris wai
adduced as a bull argument and there wen
vague rumors circulated that private Informa
tlon had been received In the street that thi
United States squidron had already fought i
FuccesFfuI engagement off the Philippines. Th
aggre'plve leadership of the big bulls , couplei
with the rumors , kindled the enthusiasm o
bu > ers nnd the small tMders followed the leac
of the big ones. Quite a fair amount of om
mission house buMng was alfo done. Rut wlitl
business was still active and on the large peal
Hocks began to be supplledc-The offerings wer
sutllclent to feed the demand and prices teasei
to advance and before Umu commenced a retro
crnde movement. Before. thT" reictIon had pro
ceeded far the supply ! ai-ed. In the meantlm
a handfome total of stocks had been marketei
at the advance and sellers , felt tie comfortabl
ntfumncc that their papefiZproflts had beei
turned Into cash In the cvenlof an unfavorabl
turn In any events over Sunda > . There wa
some renewal of the buying demand In the second
end hour , but It did not reach large proportion
and the recoveries In prices fter the reactlo !
were not Important. The market , for stocks an <
bonds In the early das of the week was th
dullest and narrowest tiat has been seen fo
) ears. On Wednesdny the segregate tales of n ]
stocks fell to Ie s than SO. CO ) shares. In to dul
a market there Is utunlly a natural tendency o
prices to sag. Rut there was a marked dlppo
sltlon In tha market to retlst an ) downwar
tendency , due to the conditional order" li
brokers' office * to buy Stockton any tharp de
cllne. The hardness of prices encouraged a pow
erful coterie of professional operator * to ente
the market for a bull 4umr They commence
operations on Thursday The arguments the
offered to Justify the advance were that t.i
naval victory by the United .Slates pquadron ol
the Philippines was reasonably certain and th
srielllm of the Spanish works at Matanzas ha
conclusively demonstrated the skill and su
perlorlly of United States gunners and sum
Roth of these factors , It was argued , pavepoten
promlfe In the early success of the United State
arm' . There were other and deeper underljln
considerations to Invite an advance In prlcei
but the general public showed no signs of
purpose to put their money Into the stock mark *
under the aggressive leadership developed by th
bull coterie. Borne following was In
duced by this leadership among roor
traders and among commits on home customer
Whether todaj's profit taking marks the te-m
nation of the campaign by the big bulls doi
not appear on the surface. Undoubtedly the ui
derhlmr cause of the recovery In pr.ces 's tt
more assured condition In the money murk. .
and the Improved business sltuat on. The fi
ture of the money market has hlnsjd for sen
time on the probability of the government mal
Ing a war loan. The consultation of the seer
tary of the treasury w'th a numl-er of leadlr
financiers served to clear the situation. Tl
success of the proposed loan at 3 per cent wi
felt to be assured and the plans for dlsburs <
ment seemed to be sufflclrnt to guard again
sudden contractions and stringency. This wi
felt to give promise of easier conditions In tl
money market , where reserves have b-en close
held and accommodations much restricted fi
some t'me past In anticipation of the demani
of the government loan. The actual condltloi
In the money market have In fai.t bv.-cme a :
preciably easier during the week and the ra
for time loans was ihaded from 6 to 5H per cen
The continued demand from the Interior f
money Is attributed to the desire of Inter !
banks to be prepared to meet the requlremen
of their depositors -who suU-cr be to the boi
Issue. Foreign exchange rose sharply during tl
we.k. but has lo t a great part of the gain , ai
engagements of gold , for Impfrt were made ye
tenloy and today. The strength In exchani
early In the week 'a sold to have been due
some unexpected pa > ment > niircad by the EO
ernment and to delay In the receipts of cor
merclal bills against grain chlpments. The
bills are com'ng- forward all Ire tine and tl
demand for exchange from Importers 1 * sma
Another feature In the exchange situation
worthy of consideration. The war has large
curta'led the prospictlve traveling ab-oal 1
Americans this year , whose annual exp-ndltur
are estimated at an high as 1100,0 O.MiO. A fe
ture of the week haa been the strength of sllv
on demand from India and from France. T
takings by France are be'leved by tome a
thorltlea to be on acccunt of Spiln The don

There was nbout the usual num
ber of carof itock htro for a Satur
day , and the markets ns a rule were In
pretty goo 1 condition for seller ? , e THcl.il y
the market on hc i. It wan a dark and
rainy morning which made everyonip a little
late In getting < . * to litmlnci1) , but for
all that practlc.illy c\erythlng In the yard1 !
was < old and In good so.ison.
CATTLB Kor the last day of the 'Arek
thf re wtix a good run of cattle , about sev
enty load.btdng reporte < l In , a < ! asalni t
llfly-fven a wt-ek ago , fifty , two week * ago
and thirty-one' ' three wcoVw ago. Chlraso
and Knn an City were rc-portlng only 2M
head between theme that thH wad prac
tically the only market In the country , and
th To waa nothing In the nay of n guide.
Quite n number of cornfed beeves were
on Kile , nnd tome of them very fair tuff ,
though thcixj n n nothing Mjual to the bcjst
cattle here yesterday. The m irket as a
whole was In a vtry satNfuclory condition.
Bu > < ers all f < eonwd to want a few cattle , mid
the demand vma ] U"t nbout criual to the
biipply fo that ottering1) genera'ly met with
n favorable , reception , nnd an eirly clearance *
was effected. The prices paid wire jit't
about the Mime OH prev-U'td yesterday , the
market being quoted steady to strong.
Cons nnd hclfcrs were reasonably active
nnd the offerings sold at JUKI about steady
prices , there being no quotable change In
the market.
Tlure ncrc1 not enough tocktrs nnJ feed
ers In the jards to make a tent of 77'H.
market , only a few odd" ? nnd ends lielns
offered for Kaltllc uar ! yard operatois
are talking In a more hoptful tone of HIP
future of the trade In stock cAtt'c. They
siy that money Is gradually easing up n
little , whl'e at the. same time the country
Hoems to be In more of a buying mood , A
little firmness la already noted In prices ,
nnd the o Mho are foliaatng the course ol
evcmtn cloaely expect to see Inrprovcmonl
the coming week In both prlcca and demand ,
Representative sales !
HOGS There v ere only nbout nlnet ) oars o
hogs In the yards , as against 123 n week agr
and eighty-three two weeks agv ) . The rrcelpti
were something of n. disappointment , ns It wai
anticipated that the Improvement In prices wouU
bring In a fl-xxt of hogs today , and the nami
thing was true at Chicago , where a much laigei
run had tie n expected.
The fact that receipts did not meet expecti
tlons constituted the chief fentunof strength , ai
there was a very active demani. Thi > bus en
at this point all seemed lo have large order * , Ir
addition to which there was a geol shipping de
mand As a result the trade opined up 2'4 <
to EC higher and was active at the advance
largu proportion of the arrivals soon change , :
hands , 13 M belnc the popular price.
Later on It became evident that there wm
not enough hogs to 1111 all requirements , thi
market gained In strength , and when the Ins
train pulled In the lniers were Jumping aflei
the hogs at prices that were SQlOc hUher thai
jesterday's market.
The most of the hogs sold at 13 SW3 W. ai
against I2.7MJ3 SO ) e < tiTday. Everthing ws
sold and weighed up before the middle of thi
forenoon , or very peen after the last train pulle >
Into the jards.
The last week of the month proved tn ! <
the high week m far n hogs were conwrnol
At the commencement of the week the marke
showed some weakness , l > ul It advanced vir
sharply on Tuesday , rending slightly on Wednej
day and Thursday , only to advance ( harp ) ) ngali
at the clew of the week. The week close ,
with the market alnut IS'tC higher than Itn
at the opening of the week and a good lOo hliihe
than It was at the clous of the previous week
Since the opening of the month thtre has heei
a ealn of about 2 < va In the market. The mr >
encouraxlng feature of the week's trade In ho :
wa. * the better demand nn the part of loin
packers For n time , owlnp to the uncertain !
as to the future of trade , conw quent upon th
breaking out of war , every one appeared to .
afraid to do business , preferring to await devel
onmenU. This week there has been less \\n\ \
tancy and l > u > ers have taken hold as If ther
was an actual and urgent iltmund for th
product. The arrivals of each day have rm
with ready sale at current prices , and It ha
made apparently little difference whether th
rrcelpt * w r large or small , tu > ers have h .
use for them all. Representative sales :
