ties of the speculative situation were so
great today that operators In stocks main
tained a hesitating mood and refrained
from nctlve operations. Professional trail
ers found It difficult to Induce nny follow
Ing either for nn ndvnnce or n decline. The
street wns full of discussion regarding con
ditions In the Iron trade, upon which the
movement of stocks seemed to hinge. There
were plenty of authorities who uero willing
to be quoted In opposition to the gloomy
view expressed by the chairman of the
American Steel nnd Wire company regard
Ing the outlook In the trade. News of con
cessions In some lines In the steel trade,
however, seemed to sustain his views, or
were perhaps the result of the expression
pf those views. The conlllct of opinion
brought no definite conclusion either way,
the whole speculative situation remaining
unsettled
Prices In tho general list started upward,
encouraged by higher prices from London
nnd under Impulse of nntngnnlsm to the
bear campaign, which Is ulleged to be nt
the bottom of the selling of Iron nnd steel
stocks. Speculators, however, lost confi
dence In their own views ns tn the Insln-
vr-iiij in win iiniuvnrnnie opinions ex
pressed over the Iron trade outlook when
they saw the Iron nnd steel stocks nualn
manifesting ncute depression. American

closed 3'fc ofT. The net loss rf the preferre 1
was I points. The other Iron nml steel
stocks were not so wenk. There seemed 11
sort of speculative duel waging In Steel
nnd Wire nnd Federnl Steel, the latter
stock crossing the former nnd closing
nearly n point higher nnd at n net loss of
only ii.
When the renewed weakness of Steel nnd
ilre was perceived the nooning advances
In the general list began to bo enncedeil.
In one or two of the rnllrnnd stoeks nd
vanees had reached over a oolnt. but thev
were very generally wiped out. The mar
ket was extremely Irregular for the rest
of the day. The Now York tractions nnd
some of the other specialties showed weak

t-nllrond stocks, but these maneuvers fnlle.l
to nttrnct nny following or to dissipate the
reeling of uncertnlnty. Net changes nre
mostly smnll nnd the closing was heavy
nnd sluggish. Tho money mnrket continued

HOSTON. Anrll 18. The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow;
Some of the largo manufacturers have
been In the mnrket since our last review
nnd have tnkon some wool, mostly medium
nnd qunrter-blood domestic, both lleece nnd
territory. They hnvo purchased 11 llttlo
moro freely of medium pulled wools. Tho
week's business figures up 11 smnll total,
however considerably smaller than that of
the previous week. Hut as the remit of 1I15
looking nround on tho part of tho manu
facturers and tho taking of snmnle bags.
It Is felt by the trado that nn Increased
business Is nbout to develop, or Is develop
ing. Wo stilted last week that tho down
ward tendency had been apparently ar
rested, for tho time being nt any rate, nnd
tho developments of tho Inst week
strengthen this view of the situation.
What business has been done has been nt
very steady prices, which arc quotably un
changed. Tho sales of the week In Hoston
nmnunt to 2,222,000 pounds domestic nnd
210.000 pounds foreign, making u total of
2,432,000 pounds, against n totnl of 3,692.900
for the previous week nnd n totnl of 4,931.
500 for the corresponding week Inst year.
The soles since January 1 nmount to 49,
53,000 pounds, ns ngalnst 61.935,300 for the
corresponding time Inst rear.

CATTLE There was a liberal run of cat
tle today, but none too many to supply the
very good demnnd. "o thnt everything de
sirable was sold nnd weighed up In good
season. The market ns n whole wns In n
very satlsfnctory condition so far ns the
selling Interests were concerned.
Packers nil seemed to want the corn-fed
steers, but there were more buyers for the
good hnndy welsht cattle than there wero
for heavy cattle, still the mnrket was falr;y
nctlve on nil kinds nnd the most of the
offerings chnnged hands In good season.
Hlg, henvy. coarse cnttle wero slow sale
nnd holders of such found It hard work to
get a buyer, as no one seems to care for
cnttle that are heavy nnd Incklng In qual
ity. The prices paid for all deslrahle klndi
of cattle were strong, nnd It Is safe to say
thnt the market right now Is tho best thnt
It has been In n number of weeeks. Thrro
were some cnttle good enough to bring J5.20.
Cows nnd heifers were In good demnnd
nnd the mnrket was also strong on that
kind of cattle, with the result thnt thn
supply on sale wns soon exhausted. It will
be noted from the sales below thnt the
cow stuff nnd choice corn-fed heifers are
bringing very high prices as compnred with
tho way other kinds of enttle are selling.
Hulls sell pretty well nnd still the mnrket
Is not very active, but tho season is well
ndvnnced and frtt bulls could not be ex
pected to do especially well.
Stockers nnd feeders were In demand
nnd the market, was firm at yesterday's
prices. Huyers were out early and as the
offerings were smnll It did not take them
long to effect a clearance. Representative
snles:

DOINGS OF EARL RUSSELL
Itepnrt of Ills WrdilliiK In America.
Causes n SrnsHtlon In
I.ond on.
LONDON, April 18. The cabled announce
ment In the mnrrlngp columns of the Times
thin morning of tho wedding of Enrl Kustell
to Molllc Cooke, at Reno, Nov., April 16, haa
created a sensation here, as It appears that
Enrl KUFnolt, according to thn English Iaw,
Is still legally marrlod to the first Countess
Rureoll, who Is now performing at the Tivoll
Music hall.
The Star thinks the announcement, which
also appeared in thin morning's Standard,
may, bo a hoax, for, it says, by marrying;
another woman the head of the noble housa
would render himself liable to imprison
ment for bigamy on his return to England,
Tho marital trouble of the Russells com
menced in tho courtB In 1891, when tho
countffn, who Is n daughter of tho well
known Lady Scott, npptlod for a separation
from her husband on the ground of cruelty,
which was refused. Four years later the
same petition resulted In tho defendant no
bleman being granted a Judicial teparatlon;
but further litigation nnd crosi-petltlorn
fotlowed. Tho litigation was nnded by ttio
court of nppenls refusing relief to both par
ties, so they nre still legally married.
Lady Scott said ehe and her daughter knew
tho earl had been in America about n year,
but they had heard nothing from him. She
added; "Ijidy Russell hos placed tho mat
ter In tho hands of her eollcllor nnd Is not nt
all Inclined to resign herself to the accopt
nnro of her noblo hiMband's family motto,
which Is: 'What will be. will bo.' "
A closo friend of Lord RufooII. In con
firming the announcement of tho earl's
marriage, adds: "For some time Lord Rus
sell felt that his years of suffering and nn
noynnco had released Mm from all obliga
tions, moral and otherwise, connected with
his first marrlagn nnd, therefore, thnt ho
wob free to do an he desired. I do not be
llevo tho question cf bigamy will be raiaol,
but at any rnto Ixird Russell nnd hU IrUh
brldo aro returning to England next month."
