WALL STREET IS W All ING Uncertainty in Naval Movement * Leaves Market Inactive. LITTLE CHANGE IN RANGE OF PRICES Iltitrlrtlonii I In on 111 * Prrmn In I'rlnllnir War Hewn lift * * Ten dency < o Curb the Spirit * of .litecnlntor * . NEW YORK , May 22. Henry Clews , head Of tbo banking house of Henry Clews & Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street : The absence of notable events In tbc war and the uncertainty attending the move ments of our fleets sctklng the * Spanish squadron have not been conducive to ac tivity In the Wall street markets. Uncer tainty Is the most discouraging Influence that alfccts the stock market and the "bears" usually do their best to turn It to Itelr account. IJesldcs , the previous large advance In prices and the retirement of Eomo largo operators from the arena had somewhat exposed the market to an at tack ; but , nevertheless , although some se curities arc lower , the average range of prices shows little change from a week ugo. The suvero official restraints upon the press In the printing of war now ? , In order to prevent giving Information to the enemy , him , tended materially to check the excite ment attending military and naval move ments , and this has hnd the effect of some what limiting the amount of transactions ; but , at the same time , It has Imparted a steadier tone to business. An Important clement of strength has been contributed by the monthly statement 4of foreign commerce , showing a further largo Increase In the creditor balance of our external trade. The April exports of merchandise show an Increase over those < of 1807 of $21,778,000 , or nearly 30 per cent , whllo the Imports of goods exhibit a de crease of $15,400,000 , or nearly 45 per cent. Whllo for April , 1897 , there was an excess of Imports over exports amounting to $23- 073,000 , last month the exports exceeded the Imports by $43,002,000 ; so that the April balance Is $67,175,000 more In our fuvor than It was last year. This Is a most ex traordinary movement. Of course. It Is out of the question for Europe to continue In definitely to pay these unprecedented bal ances In gold. The effect Is to force up tbc rate of Interest at the European money centers while depressing It here , and thus It becomes a paying transient Investment to buy up export : bills on London and other . European points. This process , after a sus pension of some weeks , Is starting up again , with the effect of putting up exchange to rates which have stopped the Importation of gold. At the same time , the high rates for money at London are causing some re turn of our securities , which Is a real con tribution towards the liquidation of our trcdltor balance , while our purchases of fcxport bills nro but temporary postpone ments of the foreign Indebtedness and do not avert future settlements through remit tance of gold. The amount of floating Euro pean Indebtedness now outstanding Is cal culated to keep the rate of Interest rela tively high In London , and the more so as Russia Is appearing as a free buyer of the metal ; and that fact may bo expected to stimulate our local purchases of export bills. bills.For For the first ten months of the current , fiscal year , our gross exports of merchandise and silver amounted to $1,072,117,000 ; our Imports of the same Items were valued at $521,052,000 ; which shows an cxccfs of ex ports over Imports for the last ten months amounting to $551,065nou. This balance has .been set off to the extent of $84,479,000 by i net Imports of gold , which leaves a remain ing balance of $460,588,000 to be liquidated from other sources. The value of returned securities , our Interest payments and nil the other debtor Items combined cannot bo t supposed to at all approximate these figures , . and It therefore follows that , even making t extraordinary allowances for the return o. securities , a very largo unliquidated balance [ must still remain due to this country cer tainly not less than $100,000,000 , but more likely a much higher sum. Our financial ro- .latlcns with Europe thus stand well pro- tccted for some * time to come , with the re- ult of strengthening our gold basis under the trying conditions of a ftatc of war finance. It may be reasonably questioned whether any other country has ever made such a brilliant record under like conditions , and especially In the prospect of a foreign war. rln part settlement of this credit balance , wo have taken back a very largo amount of securities without any bad effect upon our home market. The return of St. Paul stock nlono amounts to nearly $15,000,000. The holdings of this stock on the other side have averaged 250,000 shares for a great muny years back. The present holdings abroad arc only about one-third of that .amount. The commercial relations of this country were never on so substantial a basis as today , which compared with Spain's beggarly condition Is certainly reassuring. The only way for stock operators to make rnqney In the future Is to forget our rela tively small troubles with Spain and look to railroad earnings and tbo condition of the growing crops from time to time. It Is natural enough that the movements of the war do not keep pace with the wishes of the sanguines speculator In securities , who Is always Impatient for quick results. ( Cooler heads , however , are prepared to wait , patiently for the outcome of operations ex tending over a line of 8,500 miles and which i havc the whole area of the Atlantic for ma neuvering in. An army of 150,000 Is not 'marshalled and trained In a day and wise strategists will never encourage staking I great battles upon raw recruits. As a rule the more preparation the more certain are the results. It might bo well it 'our many thousands of amateur strat egists would call to mind the t maxim of our great commander , General Grant , who would undertake nothing until ho was well ready and never underestimated the resources of the enemy. The govern- 'rnent may make a great mistake If It sur renders its better Informed judgment to the Ignorant "on to Cuba" clamor which Is now creating a serious danger from ovcr-prcclpl- tancy. Some of the historical naval wars afford lessons of patience which our many would-bo admirals might study to their ad vantage. The Spanish fleet Is playing a game similar to that which Its admirals played nearly ninety-three years ago , In 1865 , by Admiral Horatio Nelson. Nelson had blockaded the French fleet In the harbor of Toulon for nearly a year and a half. At length the Spanish licet joined the French , ran the blockade and es caped to the West Indies , anchoring at Mar tinique on May 12 , 1805 , the very same day of the very same month In which Admiral Ccrvcra came there In 18118. The combined fleets escaped Nelson once more , but he fol lowed them across the Atlantic and came up with them at Trafalgar , where ho utterly defeated them , capturing nineteen out of their thirty-five vessels , while his fleet was only twenty-seven In number. Nelson had predicted to Captain DIackwood a short time previous to the battle that ho would take twenty of the enemy's ships. He came within one of It and then died In the arms of "Vic tory , " which was his memorable flag ship. It took Admiral Nelson from May , 1802 , to October , 1806 , to accomplish this victory , yet eomo people around thing that Rear Ad mirals Sampson and Schley arc slow If they don't accomplish a similar feat within a week. Nelson "got there" all the same , breaking the naval power of two great na tions. We may safely hope that Sampson and Schley will do likewise with respect to Spain if time Is permitted them to make their plans secure. The army movements must wait upon the brilliant achievements of the navy. It Is no use bombarding places without taking pos session of forts and guns that surrender to our fleet. Dowey's way Is the American way of fighting both on land and water. The army will keep up with the navy and In so doing so will make a short war of it and a lasting peace. Mr , Chamberlain's address at Birmingham iccms likely to have an Important bearing on the outcome of our war. There are pow erful nations which only wait for a suitable opportunity for stepping In to protect Spain against our victorious arms and where the desire exlsU the occasion can bo provided without any difficulty. Tnls li thu point at Yhlch our grcatent danger has centered and hltj we have sorely needed protection. Mr , Chamberlain hai furnished the help at the moment when it was becoming critically urgent. Ills earnest declarations in favor of on Anglo-Saxon alliance WBB nothing short of an Intimation to the United States that it they needed help against European Interven tion they could hare It for the asking. This was a dead atop to all schemes of interven tion In process of Incubation and puts all such attempts In the category of forlorn hopes. This practical appeal from the great Englishman will not permit Americans to forget that the two notions possess common Interests In progress , In civilization and In a broad humanity and that by the affinity of these ties they ought to pull together. With such a union would come the domination of the world and an end to great wars. In the death of Mr. Gladstone has passed away one of the greatest Intellects of the age. Mr. Gladstone was a giant In states manship and a man of vast humanity and learning. In his death not only the English- speaking nations but all mankind have lost a fearless champion of right. America feels the great loss as keenly as England and ex tends the grasp of sympathy In the hour of sorrow. CONDITION OF M3W YOHK HANKS. TliL-lr Itciirrvc In the lllwhrnt llclil III I-'onrteoit Month * . NEW YORK , Muy 22.-The Financier saya this week : In the face of the show ing made by the New York banks for the week ending May 21 It Is difficult to sec how thu money market can be sustained even on the present lower level for nny length of time. The banks now hold un excess reserve of $ iO,715,250 , thu highest re- imrted In fourteen months , and the total cash In bank has rarely exceeded the pres ent volume.'The circumstances which hnvo brought about the remarkable changes In the statement tire not illlllrult to under stand. The steady demand for Interior re mittances has given way to n decided movement to this center. The shipments to the Interior Have not equaled gold Im ports for pome time. Added to this the treasury Is disbursing largo minis of iiuinoy and until two weeks ago high rates forced a constant liquidation of loans and nales of accumulated sterling bills. The. result has been to throw a mass of Idle money Into the banks. Fortunately the situation haw BO much Improved that the bank ) nre finding UPC for port of this money mid the expansion of $7.758,558 In loans In the week Is a cheering sign. What proportion of this Increase represents mer cantile demands cannot be estimated , but It IH true that some very active buying of sterling bills IB being again Indulged In. The expansion of averages for the week ran be traced to several lame banks , notably those which lire concerned In in ternational movements , but on the other hand the Institution ! ) making a specialty of country accounts report Increased de- posltn , showing the return tide from the Interior. Under normal circumstances n movement In favor of New York la only natural at this season and now that the proposed bond Issue has been delayed , New York will probably continue to gain heavily The export figures Issued by the treasury Indicate that until the tovern- tnent calls for funda the surplua will seek Investment In deferred foreign exchanges. Furty millions were thus placed during the first two months of this year and the op portunity IH now us favorable us lit that time. The deposit Increase of over $14,000- 000 for the week is logical , counting tlio $7,2 ! > 5OtX ) gain In cnsh mid the Increase of that amount and over In loans. As Is usual , the circulation continues to expand. CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. FiMitiirON of the Trail InK mid CIonliiK I'rlc-cH on Snturility. CHICAGO , May 21. Letter's Influence In the wheat market today was apparently exerted to make a strong Impression on foreigners who might need cash wheat. It looked as If the final May pressure Was be ing applied to the shorts everywhere. July wheat Is up 25-Sc , September 13-8016-Sc and May 15c. Corn closed l-8c lower , outa unchanged , pork gained 7l/4c , lurd 5c mid ribs 7JJ.C. The wheat speculators today appeared disposed to leave the entire market hereto to Its chief manipulator , and business was small , except for about forty minutes after the opening ; and a. gain during the last hour of the session. September absorbed the bulk of the trading. Liverpool worked the Improvement here by cabling advances of from IHd to 2V4d , and It was generally believed on the floor that Letter worked Liverpool. The excessive rains of the last few days had raised some misgivings about the possible effect on the wheat crop , es pecially In sections where the plant Is approaching preaching maturity. A report from Kan sas claimed heavy damages already In three counties from rust. Local receipts were 238 cars , of which 159 were contract. A year ago Chicago got 19 cars. Minne apolis and Duluth receipts were 4)6 cars today , against S54 cars last year. For the week the last named cities received 3,656 cars , compared with 2,792 the week pre vious and 3,313 the similar week of 1897 , Ex port clearances of wheat and ( lour for the week from both coasts were. 4,054,836 bushels , against 2,666,000 bushels a year ago. For the day Atlantic ports cleared 427,000 bushels. Primary western market receipts were 760,000 buahels , against 54G.OOO bushels last year. Berbohm's reported liberal ship ments from all exporting countries this week. Continental markets were quoted easier Antwerp down the equivalent of lUc a bushel , Paris lower by Ic a bushel for May and % c for September. Letter was evidently neglecting to support the con tinental markets , but ho waa attending closely to those at home. Ills brokers bid from $1.40 to $1.45 for June , and from $1.50 to $1.60 for May , and Incidentally whipped up September when it needed an application of the gad. July opened 5-Kffll-8c higher at $1.09H@1.10 , Bold up to SUOVi , declined to $1.10 again , rallied to $1.12 < and reacted to Sl.llVi bid at the close. September started at an advance of % @ll-Sc at 89 7-8090V4c , rose to 91Uc. fell back to 897-Sc and ad vanced to 90 4090 5-8c. the final quotation. May ranged from $1.47 to $1.60 , the latter figure being the- closing price. Corn acted today as It did Friday , in clined to bull , but not able to advance very fur. Wet weather Inclined the west to do Borne buying. Receipts were 611 cars. July opened l-8fo 4c higher at 35 7-836 l-8c , de clined to 355-8c , sold up to 36Vic and eased off to 35 5-8@35c at the close. Oats were entirely neglected and prices kept near to the figures current at the close yesterday. Receipts were 339 cars. July opened 1-Sc lower at 261-Sc , advanced to 26 3-Er , then down to 26026 l-8c and closed at 2G l-8026V4c bid. Provisions were barely steady without much activity , as If the liquidation by weak people had been pretty thorough. July pork opened 7H017&C higher at $12.27V4 il2.37Vi. declined to $12.25 , firmed up to $12.37ij and aold down at the close to $12.27 . July lard started EC stronger at $6.47 % to $6.50 , sagged oft to $6.47 , then up to $6.62'/4 and weakened to $6.47 at the clone. July ribs started 7c higher at $6.20 , declined to $ G.17V4. rose to $6.22V4Q6.25 and sold off to $6.2214 at the close.

London Money Mnrket. LONDON , May 22. The great Influx of gold has brought down the discount rates. Over 6,250,000 has been received at the Bank of England since the middle of April. Owing to the fall In value of money at New York there Is near prospect of thu American gold demand reviving , although It Is felt the war may yet produce surprises for the market. Business on the stock ex change was stagnated during the week , but it Is hoped cheaper money will Inject some animation Into the markets. Consols are seven-sixteenths higher. Homo railroad shares relapsed at the beginning of the week nnd have not recovered. The feature of the foreign securities was the rlso of 3 points In the price of Brazilians , Italian securities also recovered half of 1 point on the Improved political situation. American shares were Irregular and the business was small. New York buying kept prices from n serious fall.

Ruins which must have rendered country roads very sott may bu charged in part at least with the very light run today , while the break In hog values may be held accountable for the few hogs here. The weather wus dark und rainy and probably It was just ns well that the receipts % vere light. CATTLE Onuihu hud only sixty-three cars of cattle but -that was more than either Chicago or-'ltfunwas Cltv hud , so that the day's oft'erlnjrs of cuttle were not enough to eftcctrtjhrlces one way or the other. The contrSfflifit factor In the mar ket , however , % vas.mit the present but the prospective run. Tile reduction of railroad rates , It wus figured , -would carry u gre.it many cattle through < to Chicago Monday and Hood that rmtrkct , which would bo very apt to brcuk.'prlci-s considerably. Thu feeling that values JWould drop lu the east on Monday , the Met < Sf Its being u Satur day , and the withdrawal or shippers who were afraid to buyom account of prospqc- tlve lower prices ncxb week , all combined to render the market at this point slow und dull , T = r-i There were some , pretty good cattle among the offerings , irut buyers and sellers were slow about coming to the same way of thinking und ifc'tdok a long time for them to get down to business. At the. best values wcro baretratwuly. and on common kinds sellers In.gome Instunccs were re porting it lower : wiHHiers' efftck and feed ers -did not'showo.liymaterial -change. - Handy little cattle during this week have shown some Improvement and the same might be said of the-beat grndes- heavy cattle , but rough , heavy stuff Is no better than It was last 'week. Cows and heifers have been good sellers all tne week and the same Is true of stock cattle , the supply of both being very light. HOGS There were only fifty-two fresh and fifteen stale loads on the market today , but It was enough considering the fact that It was the last day of the week and that the market yesterday was. In bad shape. The market opened this morning a little higher than yesterday's close but not quite up to. yesterday's opening market. The strength was the most marked on the mixed loads , which sold at $4.2504.30. but It was hard work to get any more for the best heavy or butcher weights. A considerable proportion of the hogs sold early but still the market was far from active owing to the difference of opinion between buyers and sellers. Still they kept selling and the pens were cleared In pretty good season. The hogs sold at $1.2004.35 , but largely at the three prices , $4.25. $4.27 % and $4.30. Speculators have been doing for provi sions recently what they did for wheat some time ago. The large purchases of provisions by the government nnd the feelIng - Ing that large additional quantities will be required to support the volunteer army In the field has attracted tne attention of speculators toward that commodity. The result has been that the bulls have given prices big lifts , but the bears have been strong enough to bring about just as nota ble reactions. " Live hogs have , had to follow the lead of provisions and for that reason the mar ket all the week has been a game of see-saw , up one day and down the next. The week opened at an advance of close to Gc over the close of the previous week , made a big spurt on Tuesday , touching the highest point , reached since U95 , dropped with n dull thud on Wednesday , recovered somewhat on Thursday only to Hunk on Friday , the market on that day blcng prac tical I v back to where it WUH on Monduy. SHEEP There were three loads reported In today , but of that number two were con signed direct to packers. The market has been very poorly sup plied all this week , Monday und Wednesday being the only two days when there was enough here to really make a test of the market. The general tendency of values has been upward on nil mutton grades of both sheep end lambs. The market on desirable mutton sheep and yearlings was strong on every day of the week and there are those who are free to predict that -It will be still stronger the coming week , owing to re ported light supplies remaining In hands of feeders. The prices paid for wethers during the week ranged from $4.00 to $4.25 , whllo some ewes sold at $3.SO. Colorado woolcd lambs sold the first of the week at $5.00 , but on AVednesday lambs that were a little heavier and hence .not quite so desirable in the eyes of buyers sold at $5.26 , showIng - Ing un udvanco of fully 23o or possibly more considering quality. In other words the lamb market iofc. the week can safely be quoted 25030c igtglier.
