NEW YORK , May 8. Henry Clews , head , tt the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. , .writes of the situation In Wall street : Stocks have already undergone n very uubstantlnl advance. Under ordinary con ditions a reaction In prices would bo about tluo : but the situation Is an unusual one nnd ordinary standards of Judgment arc of HUlo value Just now. For tills reason I uo not believe that the upward movement has even approached Its climax. Irrgularltlcs must bo expected with the fortunes of war ; the uncertainties of diplomacy nnd the niulcty to take profits that may manifest themselves at any tlmo will also affect vnlucs : so that the situation favors a more octlve , Irregular nnd advancing market for uonie time to come. Our magnificent vic tory at Manila and the evident collapse of Spanish nov.cr foreshadow still further suc cesses on water and land. The pcoplo are rapidly recovering from the shock caused by the opening of hostilities and the former leellpg of dread of consequences is rapidly clvlng way to ono of confidence. Later on of exultation leading wo must expect a period ing to excesses not approved by sober Judg ment. Already there arc signs that many of the undertakings checked by the war with Spain will soon be resumed as usual. Buyers are taking hold with more confi dence and those In command of business nnd Industrial operations recognlzo that ccitalnly IB inking the place of uncertainty ntU tlmt opDcilunltles nro abundant to men of courage and sound Judgment. These are not gooil times for the ovcr-tlmld. Our rut'ro.iiln ' roiitlniifi prosperous In spite of senseless rate cutting , to which stockhold ers buplncly submit. In the third week of Anrll sixty-nine roads earned nearly 13 per cent moro than last year and In the second \vco < clihty-four : roads reported an Increase of over 14 per cent. With plenty of traffic In sight nnd rates already low , it is utter folly for the roads to waste their profits In n wild scramble for business nnd their managers should be brought to strict ac- couct. The present phenomenally high nrlces for wheat and other cereals arc des tined to give a powerful stimulus to misl- r\f.-a \ In the interior. Western farmers are emerging irora debt with wonderful rapidity nn.l tnelr Incuased purchases must add greatly to the prosperity of the Interior , to say nothing of the Increased industrial nctMty already in progress ; all of which will benefit the railroads and bo anticipated in Wall street. On Tuesday last the gold premium In Spain was 02 today It Is 111. Spanish 4s nre now down to 30H. which puts them on n basis of 13 per cent. Just prior to the Malno disaster they sold at G2'/4. United States 4s today arc 121. ex-Interest recently oaltl. The cold reserve In the United States Biibtrcasury Is $180.000,000 , ns against no gold reserve In the Spanish treasury. The I'lilllpplno Islands , Spain's most valuable colonies , have fallen into our hands through n victory uncciunlcd In naval warfare , since last week , and Porto Illco. which still be longs to Spain , will most likely have the United States Hag flying upon Its forts early rext week the same will be Cuba's fate within n very short period. Spain will then liavo no coaling or supply station on this Bide of the Atlantic ocean or In the Pacific ocean. Centuries of dishonor and cruelty on the part of Spain are at last meeting with terrible but just retribution and the "effect must Inevitably bo to finally convert cruel , treacherous and inhuman Spain , whoso mode of government Is a relic of the barbarous ages , Into a nation purified and redeemed through flro nnd blood , qualified to rule over a Christian people. Naval warfare with all its modern nppll- nnccs Is a science. The firing of a big gun with precision requires mathematical calcu lation , l > < tales a thoroughly trained eye. The American sailors , llko the American war weapons , arc thoroughly up to date ; but there is a sad lack of up-to-dato trainIng - Ing and Intelligence amoncst the sailors on Spanish vessels. The victory achieved at Manila , therefore. Is not surprising. A sim ilar ono may bo expected In the Atlantic waters when the Spanish fleet comes within meeting distance. If It over does. Admiral Nelson said of the Spaniards : "In times ol peace they are great braggadocios , In times of war great cowards , but great thieves all tbo time. " Commodore Dowcy's magnificent naval victory affords the first evidence of the ma terial of which our navy is constituted and strengthens the growing hope that the war will bo a short ono. The fleets under our other commanders will show themselves capable of equal skill and bravery ; and there is no reason for expecting that the Spanish Atlantic navy will show Itself to bo of rela tively better fighting quality than that which displayed Its Impotence In the fight at Manila. Tlmo will soon reveal when and where the meeting of the opposing fleets on the Atlantic will take place. Our suc cess In that battle should bring the strug gle to a speedy end. The Spanish vessels being got rid of little will remain but the capture of Cuba ; and that cannot be a re mote achievement. Even If the govern ment should deem it Inexpedient to land there any considerable military force , owing to the fatality of the climate during tbo hoi months , it Is certain beyond question that our deprlval of the Spanish army of , sup plies will compel it to surrender within al most a month or six weeks. It seems wholly reasonable to calculate upon these results with entire certainty. An important re verse to our arms could not possibly come from any superiority of fighting resource on the part of Spain. By universal testimony Spain's soldiers are made up of the poorest material conceivable. Those In Cuba who constitute the force with which wo should have to deal are largely mere boys , en feebled by the climate , discontented from lack of pay and only half trained. What they and their officers are Is evident from their impotence In dealing with the In surgents for the last three years. The navy Is , according to all accounts , In quite as bad a plight. Doth branches of the Spanish service are blighted and enervated by the dishonesty of officials and the country's In ability to keep pace with the progress of modern warfare. The greatest danger we have to fear Is from the plotting of Spanish diplomacy am seeking to entangle us with foreign pow ers ; and that danger Is Increased by the political disorganization spreading so rapidly throughout Spain. It looks very much as though the situation may become complicated through a triangular civil war the presen kingdom , the Carllsts nnd the republicans being pitted against each other. That Is a situation which would almost certainly bring into the melee ono or moro Intervening powers ; and there are more than one of the continental governments that might show little hesitation about making such a con dition of things an excuse for Intervening between the United States and Spain. Ou path Is thus beset by pitfall * , the Importance of avoiding which la very plainly appro elated by the president. It Dewey'a victory la M big as rcpre ented , Spain may well hesitate to risk its 'Atlantic fleet to meet ours and thereby bd destroyed. I venture the prediction tha Porto Rico and Cuba will bo surrenderee without much loss of blood ou our part am that will end the war. This Is a great da for the Eagle. Already , the evidence la clear that th United States Is now entering upon a new era In Its history. It has broken loose from the trammels of Its youth and by this dts play of Its power affirms it * rank amen the world' ! greatest nations. Europe al ready recognizes that we can no longer b regarded as restrained by the limitation which have hitherto been accepted as becom Ing the formative stage of the republic ; am our own people are aa quick to appreclat the great change that baa come over ou political relations with the rest of the world It U significant that , alone with this grea consummation , there cornea a feeling afte closer relation * with the other great branche of the Anglo-SaxoB race , ahd that Englani and her colonle * are equally ready to hole out the hand of sympathy toward us , wit cordiality that we have received from n country. Theie unconictou * exhtbl of race affinity may pror o bo foreshadowing * of great events In the orld-pollllca of the future. The capture f Manila , nnd as a consequence the virtual ontrol of the Philippine Islands , places jy it once In the front rank of the nation * mvlng Interests jp the Pacific , and enable * s ( o take A position becoming o'uf com- ncrclnl status In the defense of our rights n China. Thus the war , undertaken with o manmlxglvlngs , Is turning out to bo the naUKUrntlon of n new and grand develop ment of our national destiny.

NEW YOIIK , Mny 8.-Tho Now York financier nays : For the first tlmo nlnco tie destruction of the Malno the loans of ho Now York clearing house banks show n Increase. It became evident ns the week progressed that dealings In mcrcun- Uo paper were on a moro liberal scnle , ut the Increase In , the loan Item iirob- bly represents for the most part borrow- nyi incident to the revival of the Block xchnngo. While the Increase was less than l.uou.ww It must bo Interpiotcd ns a favor- iblo HlL-n. At thin time , when the tuni ng point Hcems to have been reached , It s Interesting to note thnt the falling oft n the loans of the New York banks since ebrunry 19 last hns been no ICFS than 75.90tlOW. A considerable part of this um , however , represents the liquidation f accumulated sterling bills Incident to ho heavy gold Import * . In keeping with ho loan Item deposits have been stopped n their downward tendency nnd show nn xpanslon for the week of $1,113WO , after continuous shrinkage running over wolvo weeks nnd amounting to $78,000,000. 'hu changes In cash were not hcuvy , but ho result hm been n decrease of $309,300. New York lost henvlly to the Interior and IB tlio HhlpmentH wcro largely In the form f fold the banks do not report the usual gains In this Item. The losses In legals ire still In evidence nnd the clearing liouso nstltutlorm now bold 75 per cent of their uslt In the form of specie. The statc- nent does not scorn to cover the full oper- itlotiH of tbo week. The gains from the ubtrciisiiry continue , owing to heavy dls- mrsoinents by the government , nnd it was bought thnt the receipts of gold from abroad would moro than counterbalance hlpments to Interior banks. It Is qulto probable that the position of the various nMtltutlonn IB stronger tlmn is Indicated > y the aggregate Knowing. Not the least ntorestlng part of the statement Is the ex panding tendency of circulation , the gainer or the week having been $314,400.

CHICAGO , May 7. May wheat advanced : o $1.70 per bu. on the 13onrd of Trade to ny. It closed yesterday worth $1.49)4. July uddcd 5-Sc to Its value. The week closed with the most exciting session In years. Mny , or cash wheat , after opening at $1.50 , climbed steadily to $1.70 , 6c at a jump , and closed at $1.67 , a net advance for the week of exactly 60c per bu. Joseph Leiter has undoubtedly proven himself complete mas ter of the situation , with entire control of : bo available wheat supply and shorts at ils mercy. Even those who had Bold July option , expecting to fill contracts with wheat from the new crop , wcro driven to cover today by the continued strength ibrond. Coarse grains were dull , but strong. Corn gained Ic and oats ' /4c. Pro visions ruled dull , pork losing Bo ; lard and ribs gained 2 ! e each. Another surprising advance at Liverpool oday started the wheat market hero strong ind drove from the mlndH of local scalpers for tbo tlmo being all thought of the big reaction they were calculating upon with great confidence the day before. July , which closed yesterday at $1.01 , opened with buyers at from tl.WA to $1.03 , and in the course of forty minutes it sold up to $1.04 1-8 vlthout material setback. September In the Kama tlmo rose from around 84J4c and 85c , where it liumr during the first twenty mln- ; ites , to 85e , Its closing price yesterday mvlng been bS 7-8c. Mny started only Uc ilBher , or at $1.60. The next short to como n , however , did It at $1.65. The advance n May wheat at Liverpool was equal to V c a bu. , and In July 5c. The quotations per cental at Liverpool showed the price of May wheat to bo bringing the equiva lent of $1.54ft , July $1.48 1-8 , September H.14J4 and December $1.03'/4. Primary mar ket receipts were 415,000 bu. , compared with 319,000 bu. a year ago. Local receipts for he day were 214 cars. Minneapolis and Duluth - luth reported 372 cars , compared with 495 the Saturday before , nnd 2S3 the correspond ing day of 1897. Frantic efforts to buy the golden cereal began again after a brief rest at $1.15 for July and $1.55 for May. The market got at last where bearish reports no longer Influenced It. It became a mere matter of disappearing margins with shorts and aggressive confidence with longs. July rushed up from around $1.05 to $1.00. dropped In two minutes back to $1.05 % and five min utes after It was bringing $1.06 % . In the last fifteen minutes of the session It surged up nnd down In great , swelling billows of excited trading between $1.00 and $1.00 % , the closing bell tap cutting It short when (1.06 ( 3-8 was the current price. May , after reaching $1.70 , closed at $1.67 , an advance of l7'/ic for the day. The net gain In July was > 3-8c ; September rose to 87Hc and closed al 67Wc , or 3 3-8c net advance. Leiter reported cash sales of 150,000 bu. No. 1 northern to Ohio millers. The trndo In corn was not much more active than usual , but It sympathized in a measure with wheat. The day's advance was Ic a bu. In May corn and 7-Sc In July. A heavy business was reported done by shippers and country purchases were only moderate , but the principal source of the strength came from the action of the wheat market. May opened at from 33 7-8o to 34c , nnd gradually rose to 34c , which was be ing bid at the close. July from 34V c and 34 3-iic at the beginning got up to 35c near the end , and closed with sellers at 34 7-SiJ 35c. Liverpool quoted spot corn Id lower. Local receipts were C32 cars. Oats ruled firm on light trade. May longs sold on hard spots. Seaboard clearances were 600,000 bu. Local receipts , 3'l8 cars Despite the liquidation May showed the most gain Tic for the day. July opened l-8c higher at 2G7-8c and advanced to 27c at the close , a net gain of Vic. Provisions had the Liverpool market to contend with , in addition to heavy receipts of h'ogs , nnd under the double load prices were maintained with dlfMculty. In the end July pork was 6c lower for tno day , lard and ribs each 2V4c higher. Liverpool quoted a decline In cut meats of 6d for 112 Ibs. for one kind nnd Is Cd for another. Hams were likewise Is Cd lower. The receipts of hogs at western packing points were 45,000 to day , against 35,000 a year ago.

Sonic IntercntlnK StutlHtlc * About the Poor Mnn'H Drink. Although every pound of coffee used In the United States must bo Imported and much of It IB actually brought from the most dl. tnnt ends of the earth , the Ameri can pcoplo hnvo the reputation of being the greatest buyers of coffee In the world. They use moro coffee than the people who llvo In countries where cofTco Is ono of the chief products , they use good coffee nnd they pay good prices for It. For the llscnl year ended June .10 last there was Imported Into tha United States 737,654,670 pounds of coffee , at n cost of moro than $81,000,000. This Is a pretty big coffee bill , but It Is getting larger every year. The bulk of the coffee used comes from Brazil , nnd this Is cheaper than any of the other coffee Imported , costing only 9.G cents a pound , while the coffee from the Dutch East Indies costs nn average of 18.8 cents n pound , thnt from Hawaii IS cents nnd the Mocha from Aden 16.8 cents. The Importa tions of coffee from Central America , Mex- co and the West Indies nre Increasing. The Mexican coffee commands 15.8 cents a pound , nnd last year the pcoplo of the United States used moro than 28,000,000 pounds. Mexican planters nro beginning to realize the great value of the coffee crop. They can lalse coffee almost ns easily as It can bo grown In Brazil nnd they are nearer to the market. Yet the Mexicans use com paratively little coffee. "If In Mexico there was n similar demand for coffee , " Bays the Mexican Financier , referring to the market In the United Slates , "wo should have to become Importers of the article ourselves , nnd on a great scale ; but the mass of our pcoplo arc not coffee drinkers , and the poor of our cities are only acquainted with a most adulterated article. " Coffee Is properly classed ns one of our luxuries something that could bo dispensed with If necessary nnd yet It Is used In practically every American home , nnd that is why the consumption of coffee averages nbout ten pounds per capita In the United States. If our poor Mexican neighbors nro willing to go on raising coffee to sell to us without doing anything to make It possible for them to enjoy the luxury of coffee on their own tables , that Is their affair , and In the meantime American people will con tinue to cheerfully pay their coffee bills.

London Money Mnrkct. LONDON , May 8.-Wlth the completion of the Japanese Indemnity the supplies 01 cash have sensibly diminished with a < \ - sequent advance In loan nnd discount rates The announcement of the Greek loan fur ther hardened money. The quotations coming simultaneously with the American drain and the uncertainty In regard to the amount demanded from that source , it re mains the chief market factor. . If the war Is prolonged and the loan' Is floated further largo amounts of bullion will cer tainly go to America , causing 'the Bank of England to lose Its accumulations. Even If peace comes soon the shipments must be Important , owlnn to the advance In the price of wheat and the heavy shipments of produce which America has made to Europe for some tlmo past. What will bo done with Japan's money Is not clear. The general opinion Is that not much of It wll be released for the present. The marke prospect , therefore , Is tightness for some tlmo to come. On the stock exchange fo the week , apart from the quotations In American securities , which shot up on the news of Commodore Dewcy's victory , bust ness was generally sluggish , though there was a tendency to higher values. Specu Intlve dealings were on a small scale am are likely to continue so until the end o hostilities. The tone of the Marquis of Sal Isbury's speech to the Primrose club ha added to the general uncertainty. The ad vance In the price of American securities which resulted from the victory In Manila was not maintained In the absence of de tails , but they rallied on Saturday , In ex pectntlon of favorable news from Hong Kong. Norfolk & Western , Wabash , Read Ing , Louisville & Nashville and Atchlson Topekn & Santa Fo shares participated In the rally. Detroit Mnrket. DETROIT , Mich. , May 7.

In very good condi tion.- With the exception of hogs there was very llttlo difference In values and most everything changed Hands In reasonably good season , though ad might naturally bo expected on the last day of the week with largo receipts , the movement wus not particularly active. CATTLE There were moro cattle hero than on any Saturday lust month and more thanat any of the other markets. There wus , howevpr , a pretty decent demand for a Saturday , both locul-and shipping- . Native beef steers were In good requesl and holders of such an were dcslrablo hat llttlo dllllculty In selling out promptly at good , steady prtees.- Heavy westerns coarse and badly branded , were Inclined to drag and the feellng"ds has been the case most all the week on thnt kind , was easier Butchers' stock' ' 'appeared ' to be In gooi demand and prices were steady , though It could hardly bo called an active market Bulls and ; stags brought good prices am deslr&blo veal calves sold qulto readily at $8.25.- . -lln In- stockers ana Tefcd6rs there' was" very llttlo doing owing to there being if ew cattle of that description here. As , will ba noted from a glance at' ' the figures at the head of this column this has been a week of large-cattle receipts. Other markets have also had plenty of cattle am the result Is that prices were given a down ward tendency. The week opened with a break of 6@10c , and on Tuesday values were still lower though the market that day closed a llttlo better than it opened. It could safely bo said , however , that cattle sold on Tuesday 10 < & 15c lower than at the close of the previous week. On "Wednesday there was something of a reaction which wiped out a portion of the loss , while on Thursday and Friday.there was no materla change In values. In'other words the gain In the market the latter part of the week was hardly equal to the decline on Monday and Tuesday. This was especially true o heavy and coarse cattle which were moro or less of a drag all the week and which exhibited a good deal of weakness. Owing to light supplies the market on butchers' stock has not shown much change during the week. . .Desirable cows ant heifers have been In active demand all the tlmo and any weakness that may havt resulted the early part of the week In con sequence of the break on fat cattle was speedily made up. "Very llttlo business ha : been done during the week In stock cattle for the very good reason that the cattli have not been here to sell. There Is a the prscnt tlmo a very good demand fo likely stock cattle , but very few are coming forward and no ono expects any great num bcr of the right kind until westerns com mcnco arriving toward full. HOGS A weak -feature In yesterday's market was trie expectation that there would bo a largo run of hogs today and that expectation wus fully realized. In fact it was not only a largo run for a Saturday , but it was the largest run of any day in a good many weeks , 135 fresh loads being on sale. Largo receipts on the last day of week would ordinarily bo sufficient to produce more or less weakness In the market , but In addition to that there wai the still further bear inlluenco In the shapi of weaker eastern markets. As a resul this market opened weak to 5c lower than yesterday's close and 5c lower than yestcr day's early market. Fortunately for the selling Interests there was a large local demand which was. sup plemented by a few shipping orders BO tha the trade was active at the decline and 1 was not long until ninety or 100 cars hai changed hands. Naturally enough th market did not show , any Improvement to ward the close , but rather slowed up ant If anything was eafter toward the last but everything sold In good season. A good many of the hogs sold at $3.87i03.W ! as against $3.9003.95 yesterday. The hog market this week has been decidedly In favor of the selling Interest ns compared with previous weeks. Th fluctuations for the most part have been small , the market showing changes 'from day to day of only 2t to 3c. The week opened with values-a-ihado higher , droppe back a llttlo on.JEuoaday and advance ! again on Wednesday ana Thursday. I turned out that .Thursday was the high day of the week ap'd'from ' that date value gradually fell off 'again so that the week closed In very nearly , trie same notch as the previous week. The'Veek ' as a whole may bo described as thn'HIch week of the yea to date , hogs on Thqrsday selling at tin highest point touched do fur this year. Tin demand was good ftll'the week nnd receipt : though large were- ' none too large. Rep SHEEP There were tonly nine fresh load here , and two of tlittaft were consigned ill rect to packers , aha Were not offered fo sale , but In addition' ' 16 the day's arrival there were eleven loads carried over from yesterday. They weroiall lambs , and there were no mutton aheutnihere to make a tes of the market , dooa/vmutton sheep woul probably have brourthtnflrm prices , us there was a good demand. fTlie prices paid fo the lambs were Ju t aboutBteady , the sum prlco having been oald for the same klnt yesterday.
