NEW YORK, May l.-H. O. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trada says:
Failure returns for April are especially
Valuable bocauso they show ttint there do
not exist In tho most impnrtnnt brunches, of
business the conditions which threaten dls
uiitcr. They tall attention to one line In
which some curtailment had seemed from
previous returns to bo In progress and has
been hastened by striken In tho building
trades
The state of business has been represented
to fit and used to support snveral hundred
theories already. 'Hit- simple fad Is that
komio reaction from tho abnormal excite
ment nnd oxpanslon and rise of prices last
year was nerwsary to continued prosperity.
Its duration may therefore bo expected to
depend on the promptness with which pro
duction and prices adjust themselves to ac
tual demands. Much progress In that ad
justment has .been made during the last
week, with Increased activity already re
HUltlng. Strikes springing from disputes
oooui tno terms ot norK ami wages ior ine
cdmlng year have also made distinct prog
ress toward settlement.
Tho reduction In prices of Iron nnd steel
nnd their products has roiio far enough to
bring out. much new business. At the end
of last week cut nails were reduced 15 cents
per keg atid In plate and bars somnwhat
lower prices havo been reported. Prices
for nhcctH have not yet been named, but
Jn pipes nnd tubes thero Is some yielding,
with larger business In fence and other
wlro since the reduction. Not a sale of
Hessemer pig Is reported, tho association
still nuking J2I.00, whllo eastern pig Ik of
fered at Pittsburg below J23, nnd local forge
Is lower at 2A, with eastern at $19.75. Chi
cago cok has declined 60 cents nnd south
ern also. Kastern markets art; irregular,
with growing belief that an output ex
ceeding consumption -will reduce prices until
tho demand again expands. Thero are largo
foreign contracts for pig pending nnd lm
Dortant sales .of finished products for ex
port hnvn been made. It helps townrd bet
ter adjustment that coko Is quoted $1 per
ton lower than a month ugn nnd anthracite
coal has also declined. Tho closo of tho
wool yenr has como without the scarcity
which somo expected, but with the average
of quotations by Coates Uros, reduced in
April about 1 rent. Sales have been small
and yet much In excess of purchases for
consumption, Manufacturers havo so far
refrained from shewing that they -were much
better Muppllcd six months or a year ago
than dealers arc willing to believe, Tho
narket for goods, excepting tho most
favored staples, has been so far unsettled
and Irregular as to glvo small encouruge
meat for buying wool at current prices.
Interior holders nro still strong, hoping
that tho end of tho season brings tho end
of manufacturers' stocks. Cotton goods
iiavo also shown similar weakness In trans
lations for future delivery and new busi
ness Is narrow. Until prospects for tho
new crop nro moro settled tho pressure of
Kngllsh spinners for supplies tends strongly
to hold up prices here, though foreign mill
stocks nro now heavy. April exports of
breadstuffs Jiavo been largo, both wheat
and corn surpassing last year's record.
Atlantic exports of wheat In live weeks,
flour included, have reached ll.OSO.WU
bushels, against 10,7 1 1, 70S bushels last year.
Pncltle exports 3,51X230 bushels, ngalnst
2,090,737 Inst year, and corn exports 15,773,337
bushel, against 12,740,912 Inst year. In spltn
of conflicting stories the movement of
i wheat frpm the farms continues larger than
a ye.ifugO Tho price closed as it opened,
whllo corn declined 2 conts.
All oxports from New York In four weeks
havo been 33.1 per cent, or over $11,000,000
larsor than last year, and with tho gnln
of JIIV.OOO.OOO In cotton from other ports tho
month's nggrcgato for merchandise should
rlso nbovo Ji00.000.000. Imports show a small
gain, 'but will hardly exceed J70.000.000.
Knllurcs for. tho week havo been 209 1n

twenty-seven In Canada, against twenty

Dimities In In (Jooil Condition Despite
''(lid 'Apparent Dullness.
NBW Tonicritnya. Dradetreot's tonior-
roy'ViH'Bay:
A 'further subsidence of demand of tho
level of prices is noted In several lines
this week, this process being, no doubt,
Bided by tho Unsettling effect of tho rather
moro than usually disturbed conditions
Ins labor circles. The net result Is some
thing approaching dullness In many chan
nels of distribution. Increased conservatism
in tho making of ventures and a disposition
to. digest -business nlrcady arranged for
boforo making engagements. Thnt the
basic condition of general business such
ns tho outlook for crops, oxport demand
and tho Increased purchnlng power of
the people at large havo not been much re
duced, but on tho contrary actually Im
proved, seems ovldcnt from tho advices
received this week,
nuslncss nt wholesale Is relatively
auletcr, which Is not utniHU.il at this
period, but moro than ordinarily marked
attention Is being concentrated on tho rc
tall demand, which is of course relied upon
ns a nteasurp of the progress of tho actual
consumption, Tbuchlng this particular de
mand It may bo stated thnt relatively host
roports como from the racitic coast und
the northwest. Oood crop prospects nnd
tho weakness In provisions, charged partly
to Increased receipts of hogs, but nlso at
tributed to bear operations by packers,
havo exercised a. depressing effect on corn
and to n less extent on wheat.
Tho "weakness of print cloths Is con
fined as yut to outsldpmnntifuctiirrrs' quo.
tatlons, ',th'o pool prices being maintained
unchaijgCd. No effects from this source
or tho dullness at wholesnlo in cotton
gen-da arc yet rellected In the market for
tho raw material, which remains strong,
owing partly to tho reduced movement of
tho crop, the April movement being 11 per
rent lower than a year ago, nnd partly
to the expected small surplus to bo car
ried over to next season.
Tho shoo and leather trade at tho east
Is notably (pilot. Jobbers are apparently
expecting a break, but manufacturers re
main firm. Restricted supplies of raw
sugar have Imbued a slight marking up
of quotations this week, but no change
of refined prices Is reported. Tho situation
in iron and steel is still a mixed one. No
diminution of strength of pig iron Is re
ported nt such centers as Ilirmlnchnm nnd
Pittsburg, and predictions are that the
ruling price of llessemer pig will not bo
shaded during tho last half of tho year.
Somo cutting of pig Iron prices Is reported
nt tho west, however. Tho report from
Rlrmlnghnm Is n most encouraging one,
dim mainly to tho reawakened export In
quiry heretofore noted. An order for 100,.
OKI tons for Germany, for delivery next
year, Is under negotiation with the dllfer-
AKKreKnto of IIiisIiipsn Transacted by

WALC0TT GETS THE DECISION
Puts l p Much the Better FlRlit In Ills
Fourth MeetliiK with Hilly
Smith.
NBW YOIIK. May 4.-Joc Walcott and
"Mysterious' Hilly" Smith fought twenty
flvo rounds at catchweights before tho
Broadway Athletic club tonight nnd Wal
cott got tho decision. This was their fourth
meeting. They fought two draws nnd
Smith gained tho decision the third tlmo
they got together. Smith did not light with
his tisttul snnp and vigor tonight, but ho
put up a very gamo battle.
Walcott was the llrst to enter the ring.
Smith did not follow him for nearly it
rjuartor of an hour. Both men looked to bo
In perfect condition. Walcott was the
favorite at 2 to 1.
Tho men were announced to box twenty
flvo rounds nt catchweights under Marquis
of Queensberry rules.
First Hound They got together without
any delay and Smith went to the neck. Ho
whipped his left over again to the eye nnd
Walcott sent back two hrtrd blows to tho
body. Smith swung his left to the Jaw nnd
planted a hard left over the colored man's
heart at close quarters, Smith worked
better and more quickly and had all the
better of the round,
Smith sent his right over to the head In
tho early part of tho second round, Wal
cott kent In clns. sendlnir left twlci verv
hard to tho wind, They mixed It up
cleverly and "lther una any advantage nt
tho closo of Tho round. Walcott put sev
eral hard ones with both hands to Smith's
body In tho third nnd Billy swung his left
to the head nnd right on the body and ear.
Both wore cautioned for holding. Wtilcott
was thn aggressor until tho bell rang.
Wnlcott Takes the I, rail.
Walcott fought splendidly in the fourth
round nnd outpointed his man flvo to one.
The next was a very lively round, with
Walcott getting the hotter of the honors.
Walcott sent rlrht and left to face nnd
body In tho sixth and cut Smith's left eye
brow with n rlght-haivl smash. Smith
fought back viciously, but the bell found
Wnlcott still in the lead by a good margin.
In tho seventh round Smith swung his
right on Wnlcott's Jaw, forcing tho negro
to clinch. Joe fought back cleverly nnd
each exchanged hnrd body blows. Wnlcott
landed some awful left swings on Smith's
head and Jaw In the eighth and was well
In tho lend nt tho sound of the gong.
The tenth was nlso a fast round and
honors were nbout even at Its conclusion.
In the eleventh round Smith landed one
good left-hand punch to. the head, but
Walcott discounted this easily. Smith
plared for tho head In the twelfth nnd
lauded thero half a dozen times, gettlmr
his left In a very stiff manner to the lower
works. Smith grew wild In his delivery In
tho thirteenth nnd nt the clang of the bell
5 to 1 was freely laid on the negro.
The men fought very evenly during tho
fifteenth, with tho odds in Smith's favor,
but the colored boxer woke up In the six
teenth nnd cut a very lively pace. Smith
fought back cleverly and landed two good
rights on the negro's head.
Wnlcott broke ground three times In
the twenty-llrst, but he got out of reach
each time and sent In a few left rib
roasters on Smith's right side. Fighting nt
short range was the feature of the next
round nnd both were very tired when the
bell rang.
Both men lost their heads In the twenty
second round. They slugged each other
regardless of science arid Smith had tho
call at the bell. Billy was heartily cheered
when ho went to his corner. Walcott
fought furiously In tho twenty-third and
cut Smith's ear with n.rlght hand smash.
Smith was slow In the' early part of this
round, but ho spurted toward the end
of It nnd pummeled Walcott with both
hands on head nnd body.
Smith's ear was bleeding profusely
when he camo up Tot the twenty-fourth.
Wnlcott kept on tho aggressive upd had
a very decided lead when tho gong called
tho men to their cornets.
Both wero well plnyed' out when they got
together for the last rotlnd, but Walcott
still was the aggressor..wSmlth was always
ready to tako a. chani;c und countered
heavily, but Walcott always hadthe upper
hand f him nnd 'nt tho end of the bout
both men shook hands very good naturcdly.
Hntltli Coverrd rrltli Blood.
Smith's body was covered with blood and
his face was besmeared, whllo Walcott s
black body did not show a mark, Tho
Barbadoes negro's face woro a broad smile
as he went bnck to his corner and was
awarded the decision. .......
Tho preliminary bout was between Whltcy

of tho Now York stock market tomorrow
will say:
Apart from tho nbovo the principal note
worthy circumstances wu ... .
heavy tono of the Industrials and tho
readiness of tho steel stocks In particular
to sell off. either on liquidation or bearish
attacks. But for the covering of short
contracts thero would seem to be very
llttlo support In thnt portion of the mar
ket nnd the ndverso Influence of the in
dustrials of course ngain aided in creating
a weak tone In the rnllroad share list, ex
cept where manipulative support was ex
tended. Thero were no declines of groat
Importance, however, and the market wns
comparatively Indifferent to the engage
ment nnd shipment abroad of 12,600,001 gold.
Money Is easy nnd the steady Increase In
tho nntlonnl bank circulation tinder the
now tlnanclnl law Justifies the conclusion
thnt the transfer of a certain amount of
gold to London and Paris this spring will
have no bad effects on the situation here,
The London mnrkct, It may be observed,
Is In a state of Inaction closely . resem
bling what prevails here, and the gold
shipments, troubles among Industrials and
sagging of tho railroad stock list have
checked the foreign disposition to buy
American stocks. The European partlcl
patlon In the market here was accordingly
much smaller this week than for some time
bnck, and represented ns much selling
ns purchasing, the Interest therefrom being
on the whole ndverso on our mnrkets, The
same situation Is given to political mat

Matthews landed oftcner, though his blows
wero not possessed of nny greater steam
nor wero they put in more telling places
than Parker's. Both men were wild at
times, but fought cautiously and well as

In the sixth Matthews brought down a
smart swing on Parker's Jaw, turning him
around and felling him to tho floor on
his stomuch. It would havo been a knock
out to an ordlnnry person, but Parker
rente quickly and went to shooting In Jabs

CHAMPION A MOUNTAIN OF MUSCLE
(.'roiTi' of South Oiunlin llnUes nn
L"ne.pi'cteilly tJooil Slum lug;
on the lnt l(li the
(limit.
Magnus Ucch-Olfccn, champion wrcatlcr,
wao accorded a generous leceptlon by his
toutitrymen, tho Danish people of Omaha,
and other admirers of tho sport which haa
been a popular athletic amusement from the
days of the Greek gtadlatora, In his exhibi
tion nt Washington hall Friday night. These
who witnessed OUcn'u performance at this
time noted his magnificent physique and
muscles of Iron, wondered not that ho has l
ncvor met his equal on tho mat. The sur
prise) of many of them when Roobcr'o recent
defeat at his haml.i became known turned
to amazement that Itoeber or nny other
rrnn should even succeed In throwing tho
mighty giant once.
Hech-Olsen had three ndversarlcfi Friday
night. Two of thorn, Ktnll Klank nnd
Michael Crowe, nro local favorites, both liv
ing In South Omaha, and tho third was II.
P. Hansen, tho champion's trainer. Crowe's
content with tho giant was nomewhat of a
revelation to tho big follow from Copen
hagen. Tho champion'H estlmato of Crowo
was given an ho sat In his dressing room
after elsht and threo-quartcrij mluutoa of
flcrco wrestling .beforo ho succeeded In
throwing the South Omaha champion.
"Ho 1h a very good wreutler," repeated
the big champion over and over again, re
ferring to Crowe. "A very strong man."
Olfion's familiarity with the Kngllsh tonguo
Is limited and he could add no other words
of p raise, but spoke to hla trainer and
Danish ansoclatcn most complimentary of
Crowe. That ho wns surprised to find a
wrestler so expert nnd sclontlfle, of whom
ho had never heard before, was evident. Ho
sat panting and puding for breath nn encr- j
gotlcally uh a steam engine, repeating again
and again, "A very good wrestler!" "A very
otrong man!"
Tho main door nnd galleries of Wash
ington hall were packed. The program
opened with an exhibition of lifting heavy
weights by II. P. Hnneen. Seizing a dumb
bell weighing 145 'pounds In his right hand,
Hansen lifted it above his head at arm'n
length ten times, permitting It ouch time
as ho lowered it to touch the floor but mo
mentarily. Ho then shouldered a dumb
bell weighing 34S pounds and twenty-six
times bended his kneus almost to tho floor,
raising each tlmo to his full height.
lleeh-OlMen (iris nn Ovntlon,
After this a Danish hand furnished muolc
until tho first wrestling match woe an
nounced. Becb-Olscn wns cheered as luutlly
by his admiring countrymen when he ap
peared as though he had shattered a fleet
in .Manila hnrbor or accomplished KOnio
other feat for tho public weal equally as
important. Until Klank wan hla llrot con
testant, Onieco-lloman ruins governed tho
match and Ol3cn was to throw Klank In
fifteen mlnutcH. It took him but two nnd a
half to accomplish tho task. Klank eluded
him for a short tlmo nnd then the great
mountain of muscle descended upon the
South Omnha policeman, secured a iitrangle
hold and Klank wun finished.
Whllo Bcch-Olscn and Crowo were pre
paring for tho next match, a really enjoyable,
and creditable exhibition of Indian club
swinging was given by Frank Johnson and
JamcH Devancy of South Omnha. Tho young
men manipulated the clubs In artistic and
expert manner nnd merited tho generous ap
plauso given them.
Michael Crowo was introduced as tho
"chnmplon wrestler of South Omaha," and
smilingly bowed his acknowledgment to the
hearty reception accorded him and beamed
all over when hlr old-time wrestling an
tagonist, Dan Baldwin, marched down the
nlslo nnd handed a huge bouquet over thn
flickering footlights. Thnt bouquet put
Crowo on his mettla and ho resolved to merit
the further good graces of his admirers by
nt least giving the chnmplon wro tier a
chance to work up a perspiration. And ho
suqeeeded. Strangle holds worn barred, but
Graeco-Iloman style prevailed and Crowo was
at a disadvantage, for ho had ncvor wrestled
other than at catch-ns-catch-can. However,
he put up a remarkably clever opposition to
tho great Dane. Ho was outclassed In
weight. licch-Olsen, stripped, easily tipped
tho boams nt 280 pounds and Crowo lacked
sixty pounds of that weight. The two men
struggled In nn exciting effort to gain the
mastery. They mixed things lively from the
start and boforo the natch had been long
In progress Bcch-Olscn was pulling for wind.
An expression of surprise camo over his face
ns Crowe repeatedly wriggled out of holds
thnt soomcd overpowering.
At length Bcch-Olscn got n cross butto:k
hold nnd Crowe's shoulders touched tho mat.
Tho match was over and It had taken thn
champion eight and thrcivquartcr minutes
to accomplish the rostilt.
How He Threw Itneher.
Tho program closed with a lively contest
hctweon Bosh-Olsen and his trainer, H. P.
Hansen. It lasted for thirteen minutes and
was exciting throughout. Uach appeared
bent upon throwing tho other and It was In
no sense a tamo exhibition. At times Han
sen encircled hlB arms nbout the champion'H
ne:k nnd scorned endeavoring to wrench It.
Tho ttrongth of tho great Dane was hero
apparent. Tho strugglo ended when tho
champion resorted to a deft trick turn and
sprang upon Ilanncn, bearing him to tho
mat as ho did Roober In the'lr contest when
Bech-Olsen wrested from Uoobcr tho Amer
ican wrestling championship, thereby gain
ing tho wrestling champion, hip of the world,
