Dun's Weekly Ilevlcw of Trade tomorrow will say: The tone of general business has been better this weeK. Marked activity In the distribution of merchandise Is relleeted In the gains of 45.9 tier cent Increase In deal ings at Now York comnared with 1900 and 20.8 per cent over 1899, with gains of 13.6 nnd iu.n per cent for tho same permits at ine leading cities outside Now York. Even the textllu market showed pronounced gnln, Activity In the metals division has taken pig Iron production to nenr record llgures ana somo ueniern no not sec now proline tlon of partly finished forms this year Ik to be made to meet the demand. The govern ment report of the condition of wheat on April 1 Is the surest possible basis upon which expectation of continued commercial prosperity could be founded. Stringency of money Is largely local In New York nnd iIops not niter reports from most of the larger cities of favorable conditions In col lections. Railroad earnings In March were 7.4 per cent larger than last year nnd 32.4 ner cent over IS93 according: to nnrtlatlv complete returns. l'lg iron prouneiion on April 1. nccorning to the Iron Age. whs nt tho rnto of 296,070 ens weekly.

The remarka ble feature of tho situation Is the decrease of 669.2I.S tons In furnace stocks during March In the face of this enormous produc tion, while In six months the loss In nutuillcs amounted to 203,fl.V, tons. Quotations are generally sternly for all forms, except plates, on which $2 a ton Is demanded with out restricting purchases. Contracts for delivery of pig Iron do not as a rule extend beyond this month nnd furnace stocks can not bo erpected to continue decreasing un less new business comes forward, for ninny furnaces have gone Into blast since tho month opened nnd production on May 1 will probably be nt a new high record. speculation has been unusually heavy in food stuffs, the local market averaging over 2,000,000 bushels of wheat dally.

Market Tlila Week In Mnrkcd by Activity nnd Irrc Ktilnrlty. NEW YORK. vAprll 12. Rrndstrect's Fi nancial Review tomorrow will say: Considerable Irregularity hns prevailed in speculation this week. Tho market con tinues to bo very active nnd presents tho same strong nndertone which has been a lending feature ror somo weeKS past, nnv high prlco records havo been mndn In va rlnnn storks nnd the deals and develop ments concerning corporations which are understood to be in progress nnvo 1101 iofi their power as Incitements to bullish ac tivity. Tho money market, however, has developed a degren of strength which, though by no means approaching nny thing like positive stringency, gave a sharp check to the upward movement of prices und cnused recessions, with 11 renewal of morn conservative opinions among tho rank and fllo of Wall street. Last Saturday's unfa vorable bank statement, which appeared when the mnrket was taxing a tnreo uaya' bnllrlnv. was widely discussed and wns gen erally construed ns Indicating that easy money couai not no counieu un any :ihiki, nnd when the Stock exchange reopened on Monday there was a heavy selling move ment, representing uoin iniuiuauuii 01 whb holdings nnd short sales by traders. The call money rato on Monday advnnced to 6 per cent and most borrowers wero obliged to pay 6 per cent for such accommodation, tnnt being generally miiiuiaincu mr -nu rest of the week. Tho money (iilotatloiiH again touched 6 per cent 011 Thursday nnd Frlduy. which produced sharp de clines In the various stocks which had renewed their ndvnnclng tendency ns soon ns It was apparent that no stringency was pronnuie. 11 is recognized uiui iirincr money Is hy no means un evil at this Junc ture, as It has checked tho exportation of gold to Europe and hns a tendency to nt tract funds to New York from other parts of the country. BRADSTnEET'H REVIEW OF TRADE. Crop and Trade Advice KncoiirnnlUK and Mnrkets Are Active. NEW YORK. April 12 nrndstreet's to morrow will say: Crop and trade ndvlces alike contlnna favorable. Tho seat of greatest strength Is In tho Iron nnd steel trade, while tex tiles evince tho most Irregularity. Despile the tinequestlounbly quieter tone of ex port trndo 111 manufactures, It Is to bo noted that Americans aro still reaping some advantages from their superiority In certain lines of Iron and steel. Retail trade has been helped by better weather In most sections, nnd while spring Jobbing la smaller nt several markets, Improved retail trade conditions nro expected to help re-order business. Tho low prlco cf cotton is still a deterrent to trade at the "outli, nnd talk of restriction of the anticipated Increase in acreage Is heard, Hunting Is, however, being nctlvely pushed, anil retail trade Is for this reason still quieter. North western trade ndvlces tire qullo cheertul and largo numbers of buyers nro In tho towns. On the Pacific coast Alaskan trade Is active and general trade from nearby points Ik good, At tho east trndo Is better at retail, while wholesale lines aro quiet. Cotton goods note some slight improvement In tnuo and It Is hoped thnt tho bottom has luen reached nt tho prevailing concession in prices. AVool Is quiet and somo weakness In washed wool Is noted. High water In the Now England rivers has rendered much machinery idle, but this curtailment linn been rnther welcomed, Cotton Is 'o lower ngnln on Inrgo movement, which Is ex pected to heavily exceed !ast year. Raw sugar has been again strengthened and tho ndvnnco of lOo per 1U) pounds In ro tlned .nnnouncd this weak, was antici pated by buyers, who havo boiicht hpavllv. The outlook favors a further strengthening in noin raw ami renneci grades. Iron nnd steel aro aggressively strong, Despite the fact that pig Iron production Is close to tho maximum of Inst yenr stocks are still decreasing, Goods sales of Iron nnd billets nrc noted at Pittsburg nt last wees, h prices. riniMicu products nro .ic tlve nnd most mills nro sold abend beyond July. Drspilo the drop In export trido some good orders aro being received. Ono ror n inrgo quantity 01 rails is said to tm for South America: an order for rails, iroin Cllnsgow is nlDo noted, nnd a 4,300-ton order for structural mnterlnl for a dock In Japan has gone to Pittsburg. Now bridge and "sky-scraper" construction will take a largo quantity of material. Plates aro higher nnd an advance In bars Is noted from St. Louis. Copper has sympathized with the stock market and is reported higher abroad. High water has apparently been reaclvd and passed for the season In tho eastern shoe trado nnd shipments this week are smaller than last, while one-eighth larger than In this week a year ago. Orders for rubber goods are large.

Cmmltlernlilo lluslness Trnnsneteil nnd Numerous I'luct nntluiis In Price. NEW YORK, April 12. Today's stock mnrket wns rather a tame afTalr as com pared with excited feelings for some llmo past, but 11 n Imposing aggregate of busi ness wns nevertheless transacted nnd there wero considerable fluctuations In prices. The market was extremely weak all dav, hut rallied nnd yielded ngaln nt tho close, which was with several gains. Operations wero of a highly manipulative character and seemed to have for their object to discour age the selling of stocks. No very nggres sivo efforts were apparent to attract re newed buying demand. Fluctuations were by no means so violent or so feverish ns ban been the rule of late. Thero wero some wide ndvnnccs among high-priced Investment stocks and somo usually Inactive stocks, Northwestern, after a preliminary decline, rising 4 points, St. Paul preferred 2H, General Electric 3U, Consolidated Gas .V.J, Brooklyn Union Ons 0 nnd a number of less prominent stnckn from 2 to 3V4. Spectilntlon continued nctlvo In tho copper stocks nnd Amalgamated Copper rallied strongly from Its opening loss, but did not hold the ndvnnco well, closing with n net rise of only 1?;. Rumors continued conflicting regarding the status of the Burlington denl, The stock's ex treme rango was 3i and it closed with n net gain of a point. Rock Island rose 64 from Inst nlght'a price and closed with n not gain of OK-. The New York public tttlll ties were nil stronc on account of the fixing of the dnto of adjournment by the legisla ture. Tho coalers nlsn became strong, giv ing rise to a supposition thnt the danger of n strike on tho Jersey Central hnd been averted. Tho market developed very general strength lifter tho opening weakness, which was due to some extent to selling for Lon don account, the denials of pence negotia tions with tiie Hocrs and tho hardening of tho money rate in London serving to de press that market. The recovery hero seemed to bo closely connected with tho more cheerful feeling regarding tho money outlook, This was not relleeted In tho money rnto Itself until most of tho day's requirements had been met when belated lenders mndn consilient bin concessions in the rate of Interest. It was asserted that largo loans were placed here for the ac count of Chicago banks during the day. The preliminary estlmato of tho Interior cash movement Indicated that the balance against Now York for the week was Inslg nlllcutit nnd the New York exchange nt Chicago rose to 25 cents por thousand com pared with 50 cents yesterday. Tho sub trensury wnH n debtor today at the clear ing house to the extent of $1,486,741. owing to largo pension dlsbursemi)ts and a pay ment of $500,000 mode to tho banks on nc count of Philippine army expenditures, The Hub-treasury has therefore titken only about Sl.oon.ooo from t!m mnrket and next week will hoe the high level for the month of the pension payments. After tho eloo of business on the stock exchange announcement was made from Washington that the secretary of the trens. ury had purclinsed $l,0ft).( of government bonds In the market. This, with the rail ing of loans by the banks, If It has resulted In the reduction of the loan averages, will, therefore, have tho effect of making n much less unfavorable bank statement than was aptireher.ifed, With today's payment In London of the Installment on the ex chequer bond and the conclusion of the stock exchnngo settlement there, the course of the money market In the next few days Is awaited to Indicate Its true condition. The heaviness of the United Stntes Steel stocks was n disappointment to the specu lators, an they aro basing hopes of meas ures of protection against money stringency 1 y large tlniinrl.il Interests on the sitppo'-i. tlon thnt It Is designed to support the prices of these stocks. The price movement of bonds was irreg illar. Total (.ales, par value. $2,955.W. United States bonds were nil unchanged op the last call, The Commercial Adverllei's Iindon financial cablegram says: Business slack ened on- the- Stock exchmige here today- and the tore wns depressed bccani-e of the lack of continuation of the report that u settle mont wns to be had with Botha of the South Afrit-mi troubles. The American de partment also wns restricted for awhile. In sympathy with the general market: but be sides this general i aue the bulls were per. vous today over the drop In prices In New York yesterday and the fears of dearer money In Wall street. They sold steadily until In the utternoon, when upon the .N-w York opening the cables brought over unex pectedly higher prices and orders which hoisted Union Paclllc, Southern Paclllc and Northern Paclllc. Berlin wns nisi a buyer of Northern Paiillcs. Uiion these two bull movements London took courage, buying Erics and AtchWons. The result was a cheerful close, with prices nt the top. Sev etnl nttempts have been made to Interview Mi'. Morgun. They have all proved practic ally futile. The Bank of England has bought .CIW.OOO of gold In bars; JL7.PV0 Is en gaged for export to South America. The call money rnto was about 4 per cent: time money, .". per cent.

Thero wero quite n few good cattle here today, which makes tho sales show up well on paper. Good beef steers were In nctlve demand this morning and the market could safely be quoted steady to Mrong ns compared with yesterday. The better grades brought stronger prices and the less desirable bunches sold fully steady. The light run soon brought the market to a close. As will he seen from the sales below, ns high ns $,).45 wns paid for 1,376-pound steers. Tho cow market was also In good shape nnd ns a result It did not take pnekers long to clear the pens. The good kinds In par ticular were ready sellers and brought good, utrong prices. The only kind of cows that havo not Improved this week Is tho com mon canners, nnd on those tho tendency has been lower, as packers do not seem to want them. Hull 'calves and stags were In" light sup ply this morning and sellers experienced no dimonlty In disposing of what they had nt good, tlrm prices. There were very few feeders offered to day, and ynrd traders were not looking for many. The feeder trndo this week has not been In very satisfactory shnpe. The de mand from ' country has been light ami It looks an tough a good many tnttle would be carried over until next week. Tho choicer hunches can probnbly bo quoted steady for the week, hut the common kinds nre very slow and lower. Representative sales: BKKF STKKRS. Av, Pr.
