Compara tively fow buycrH huvc been In tho city ami not mun ot those thut tilt nrrlve were what mliht bu culled heavy purchaser. It begins to look as though merchants hud about all thu stock they need for the pres ent. The lack of wurm and settled weather Is mnklnj; trado in tho country very slow and It Is feared that when ood weather does come farmers will bo o busy with their sprint? work that trade will not show much Improvement. That, of course, means that merchants will tiot fell their goods as early na usual and will delay trade all around, Thero Is no uneasiness noticeable, however, ns everyono seems to be confi dent that the business will rome sooner or later. Jobbers urn now golm; through a between nenson period and so for that rea son their sales do not show up very favor able. Wlth previous weeks. They arc Kct tlnit their fall lines Into rltapo nt a rapid rate, however, and In a short tlmu their salesmen will be out on the road looklnK for advance orders for full delivery. Ilettor weather will also brltiB In duplicate and slzliiK-up orders In summer lines, which will kIvo to tho market Its usual activity. There Imvn not been many startling changes this week Iti the market quota tions. thoiiKh theru have been a few Hun tuntlnns worthy of mention. The nener.il toim of the market as a wholo Is Rood and firm and by far the (-renter proportion of changes aro In the direction of high prices, SiiKnr .Nt ron t fuiTcc Weill., V00'.'1 .Jool'Ts wero by no means sur prised this week when an advance In re lined Minor was announced. The rlfo amounts to 15 cents per 100 pounds Haws urn also higher than they were a week ago and those who aro In n. position to know freely predict still higher prices In the near future. Package coffee hns taken n drop amount ing to V cent per pound. Iloth Arbuekles nnd Lyons brands nro ulTected. The ijreen market Is about the same as It was a week ago, but th) market Is rlither (inlet. 1'urlnuceous goods are quoted the samo as they were a week ugo nnd so also aro canned goods. The situation In California dried fruits Is attracting considerable attention. Prunes nro lower than they wero a Week ago, tho decline being brought nbout by the light consumption which has been experienced up to this time. The actual amount that haB gone Into the hands of consumers Is much smaller than estimated earlier In thn season. Tho market on apricots and peaches Is In a good, strong position and particularly Is this true of tho former. It is claimed that soverc frosts In the fruit producing sections of California have serl ously damaged tho crop and It Is thought that the damago Is so great that the crop of nprlcots will not bo moru than one-half as largo as It was a year ago.

Tho tlry goods trado has not boon very actlvo tills week. Them have been a few buyers In tho city, but most of the orders placed wero small. Traveling men huo also had rather a hard time, as roads aro In bad condition and trade In tho country quiet. Hetallcrs In most sections have not sold any great amount of spring gooda as yet und for that reason they aro not buying juoro goods, nor will thoy talk ubout buy ing for fall. What they want Is settled weather and until that arrlveu they will not tlo much buying, .lubbers, however, aro not doing any complaining, us they havn no fear hut what spring business with retullerM will como out all right In tho end. rho present lull Is looked upon us only temporary ami In a short time no ono wlil bo the worsn off for It. Thero Is nothing new to be said of tho eoudlllon or thn market, oh practically all lines uro In tho samo position they wero a week ago. Trado In eastern markets Is only of fair proportions, but manufacturers nnd Jobbers urn In tho best of splrlta and a very successful year la anticipated, (noil lie in n ml for It nniiein, About the only Jobbers who uro entirely satlslled with tho weather aro those en- gaged In tho rubber business Trade with LAViW.r " i i.i 1 ." ;xe,!lu""uillv good this spring, both In footwear and In rubber clothing. .Mom mackintoshes havo l.e.m I...V .1 1, 1 . . .

NKW YORK, April 13.-Todny's stock market was highly professional and under actlvo manipulation nil through tho ses sion. Brokers who have been actlvo for the bull leaders of tho speculation through oat tho rocent movement wero tho largest buyers of stocks and thoir operations wero especially conspicuous In Hock island, sugar and tho Atchlaons. Largo buying orders wero In tho market nt tho opening and caused general advances. In which Hock Island, the Chicago Terminal Transfer siocks, i'oopie s uas nnd Con solldnted Gas wero the leaders. Great contldenco was professed over tho future of the money mnrkot nnd tho buying was said to be lu anticipation of a favorable bunk Btntement. Tho strength was very generul In tho railroad list, Hurllngton nnd Northern Pacific both moving upward. Tho United States Steel Btocks recovered from yesterday's depression. Amalga mated Copper was active and strong nnd Sugar was moved up 2H points und Colo rado Fuel an extreme 8 points. Thero was u good deal of selling on tho ndvnnce nnd confiiiernmo renction had occurred when the bank statement appeared, Hock iBland forged upward after the publica tion, touching 158, and fulling back over a point and then lecoverlng under manipu lation to 150 again, before falling back ugaln, Tho stock closed at 155, a net gain of .1. Tho high point was tho record prlco for tho stock under tho present capitalization nnd tho fact that llio stork crossed St. Paul was also mado the sub ject of Interested comment. The bank statement was Interpreted ns fnvorable. owing to the rise in the sur plus, but the decline in thu reserves proved considerably larger thun anticipated und thu drastic loan contraction of $13,IS4,0fJ0 was all that saved the surplus from fur ther depletion. Tho bulls eked out the effect of the Increnso in the surplus by rumors of measures to be tukeu liy syn dicate borrowers for tho further relief of tho money market nnd of further largo offerings to be inudo to the secretury of the treasury of government bonds nt figures which he would accept Thero was nevertheless nn nctlvc selling move ment to take profits on the advance, and the closing was Irre-tular and below the best all around. Less attention lias been nn d to bonds than to stocks and their movement has betn irregular. I'nltcd States 4s, regis tered, ami Is. council, closed '. over ino closing cull of last week.

Not only Is there a ilecreuse as compared with last week, but also with the corresponding week of last year. Tho demand, on tho contrary, was liberal nnd as a result the tendency of prices hns been upward all the week, nnd each duy's receipts havo met with ready sale. Beef steers have made up tho bulk of tho receipts this week nnd tho ttiullty litis shown consltiernblo 'mprovement ns com pared with previous weeks. The high nolnt of tho week wus $5.45, und the proportion of cuttlo selling over $o.oo wns the largest in a good many weeks. Tho demand on tho part of puckers wns liberal und the deslr ublo grades dimmed hands at it mold rate. For tho week it Is safe to oall tho market 10 (tfl.'ic higher than nt tho closo of last week, with good cattle In active demnnd. Tho commoner grades und hulf-fut stuff has also improved, though that class of cattle Is. of course, not us reudy sellers. The cow market hns hIbo been In actlvo demand all he week and the finality good u good many belters being Included In the receipts. The advance on cow stuff has been rather uneven, as packers freaucntlv paid fancy prices for good stuff In order to get it. Taking tho market as a whole, how ever. It Is safa to cull tho prices l(ijl3c higher than they were a week ago, with tho exception of common dinners, which uro lower. It Is probably truo that tho greatest ndvuucc has been on tho kinds of cows that a week ago wero selling at from $3.70 to VJ.80. Bulls, calves and stngs have also shown some Improvement this week where tho qualify was satisfactory. Tho supply of teeners has not been heavy this week, ni.d neither bus tho demand. Very fow buyers havo been In from the country and trndo has been dull, particu larly on tno common stutt. uooa feeders can easily bo quoted steady for tho week, as the supply has been light nnd tho de mand huge enough to tnko all that was of- rercd. ri uc commoner grades, however, havo been very slow snlo and tho tendency of prices has been downward. Cattle of good quality weighing from coo to 800 pounds seem to bo tho best sellers. Repre sentative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. I... Av. l'r. No. Av.

Tho bulk of tho hogs sold at $fl.02H nnd $0.06, with the better grades selling at $.07HlC10. The lighter weights sold mostly nt $0.00, but thero was nothing below that mark.
