ket (or torn Tim to Com.
Local Jobber and tnsnufacturers had a
rood average trade all last week. An com
pared with the corresponding week of last
year jobbers found they could offer no
complaints and aa the prospects for the
future are also full of encouragement
every one seem to be satisfied. From the
country some complaints are heard regard
ing the lark of warmer weather and the
need of rain la also beginning to be felt In
ome localities to some extent, but still no
one Is alarmed and all things considered
the general business situation Is very satin
factory. Retailers are confident that In a
very short time there will be a marked
Improvement In the demand for spring; and
summer lines and as soon as that takes
place wholesalers will naturally experience
an Increase In their trade and also an Im
provement In collections.
At the present time traveling salesmen
for local houses are devoting most of their
attention to future business and according
to all reports they are meeting with very
flattering success. Retailers seem to be In
clined to buy early owing probably to the
fact that the outlook for future business la
encouraging and also to the fact that prices
on practically all lines are very firm, with
the tendency upward rather than down
ward. To most retallrrs.lt seems a safe
proposition to buy at present prices, as
there Is not much chance for values seek
ing a lower level, while they may go con
siderably higher. The markets as a whole
are In very much the same position they
were a week ago, though a few changes
Worthy of mention have taken place,
light Adraace In Soger.
Refined sugar advanced He last week and
the market Is quoted strong at the ad
vance. The period of heavy consumption Is
now close at hand and still further ad
vances would cause no surprise. Quite an
Increase In the demand was noted last
week as compared with the week before
and a steady Increase Is looked for from
now on. Holders of raws in New York are
asking a full He over market quotations
and claim they will not sell for less.
In farinaceous goods the market on oat
meal advanced quite sharply owing to the
high prices ruling on grain. Syrups are
also In a very strong position and higher
prices are looked for at must any time.
The canned goods market continues very
firm and particularly Is that true of small
fruits. The demand for dried fruits la
much more satisfactory than It has been
of late and holders In California report
fancy lines of peaches, pears and apricots
as being practically cleaned up. and the
mat ket Is advancing on the low grades,
l'rjnes remain about the same as they
were a week ago. IGvaporatea apples,
owing to the liberal demand and light sup
ply, advanced hk&hlc during the week.
On account of the high prices ruling on
the raw fiber the market on sisal rope Is
very strong and a sharp advance Is looked
for In the near future.
flo far aa the. business situation Is con
cerned local Jobbers say that the demand
for all staple lines of groceries Is very
satisfactory and compares very favorably
with the same period of last year.
Cottoa Goods Still Advancing.
The mRrket on four-yard cotton goods,
which has been, practically the only weak
spot In the cotton goods market, firmed up
last week and Is now hc higher than It was
two weeks ago. It Is stated on good au
thority that some heavy transactions for
export shipment have recently been com
pleted which has relieved the market con
siderably and leading lines are being held
more firmly than for some time past.
Other cotton goods continue strong and
advanoea In many lines, Including well
known brands of staple prints, are looked
for by those who are In a position to know.
Many leading houses are advising their
customers to make purchases of fall goods
as early as possible and It seems to be the
general opinion that those who buy Can
tons, Shakers, Domets and cotton blankets
will make no mistake, as a short supply of
those lines la looked for. Large manufac
turers claim that owing to the high price
Of cotton they will not make up goods In
xcess of their actual sales.
Local Jobbers state that orders for fall
goods are now being placed freely and that
trade shows quite an Improvement over
last week. More buyers were on the mar
ket last week than during the preceding
week and ordera both direct and through
traveling salesmen were larger and more
numerous than for several weeks past. Aa
aoon aa warmer weather aeta In a marked
Improvement In the demand la looked for in
both a wholesale and retail way.
Hardware Moving Lively.
There was no particular change In the
hardware market last week. There were,
of course, a few minor fluctuations, but
nothing worthy of special mention. The
general market Is In a good, strong posi
tion, with the demand fully up to tho sup-
Jily, so that the outlook for firm markets
or an Indefinite length of time Is as favor
able as ever.
The demand continues very active for all
seasonable lines and loral houses had about
all the business they could comfortably
handle last week. They were handicapped
to some extent by the difficulty experienced
In getting prompt shipments from manu
facturers, but still this market Is well sup
plied In most lines. According to all re
ports received from the country there Is an
active retail trade In spite of the fact that
farmers are very busy with their spring
work. Present Indications point to a con.
tinned heavy demand throughout the
spring.
Leather Goods a Little nlet.
The leather goods trade has not been ex
actly rushing for the last few weeks, but
-stiii tnis is a between season period and
kioto ao not expect mucn immediate
justness. The only trouble seeriia i he
that the weather has not been warm
enough aa yet to bring lightweight foot
wear Into demand. Women's lines have
moved more freely than men's, but with
the first appearance of warm weather It la
thought there will be an enormous sale of
men's lines and especially of low shoes. A
few slslng-tip orders are being received by
local Jobbers, which Indicates a good brisk
trade a little later on.
Traveling men are still pounding away
on fall business and are meeting with good
sucr-s. Bo far the number of orders taken
Is In excess of the number booked up to
this time last year, so that no one has any
complaints to offer on that score.
The rubber goods trade la also quiet
owing to the lack of rain. There haa been
very little rain ao far this season In most
aectlons of the country tributary to this
market, so that It may be said that the
rubber business Is at a standstill.
Traveling men are taking a good many
fall orders and are greatly encouraged
over the outlook for future business. The
situation, though. Is better In this Imme
diate section of the country than It ia in
the far west. A traveling man for one of
tho local houses who recently returned
from the far west stated that In the states
of Wyoming. Montana. Idaho, Washington
and Oregon the mildest winter on record
was experienced, end as a result retailers
have a good share of their last winter
ritocka ou hand. There was enough snow
n the mountains, however, to supply water
for irrigation during this summer, ao that
retailers think spring and summer hunt.
r thai year will be very satisfactory.
res that year will
Afioiiirr ii-Hiurv wniiii win nem out re-
tallers In those states is the big tide of lm
migration which has set In. In view of
that fact local Jobbers figure that although
their fall business will be late that It will
nevertheless be fully as good as It was a
year ago. .
Fralta and Predaee.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are now com
ing ou the market quite freely and as a re
sult local Jobbers report a good Increase In
the vol um. of business All such lines as
raillshes. asparagus, rhubarb, wax beans
and grrrn ptus are now being shipped to
the country. Strawberries are coming from
Texas snd Louisiana antf are good enough
to ship to the country. In view of the In

CHICAGO. April 19 Fears In the minds
of grain speculators over the weather con
ditions produced another nervous market
today on the Board of Trade. Bullish sen
timent predominated, though trsde was not
brisk, and at the close May wheat had
gained Vuc and May corn H'it'c; May
oats stood unchanged. Provisions closed
unchanged to 2oc lower.
Wheat was ruled by the weather. People
who sold late yesterday on the rumors of
rains bought in hurriedly at the opening
when dryness waa reported again and
caused a sharp advance. The small north
western and primary receipts also caused
alarm to shorts and induced good buying
at times. Traders were firm In the belief
that the whole future of wheat prices
hinges on the moisture that may or may
not come to the relief of the winter crop
In the next ten days. For some days the
dry weather has been discussed, and as
days go by without the needed rain the
situation grows more critical and complex.
Southwestern news is generally bullish.
Not only Is the winter crop full of dan
gerous possibilities, but the story Is now
pretty generally circulated that there will
be a very serious shrinkage in the area of
spring wheat In the three northwestern
states. Cash wheat is growing scarce here
and In the Interior, and this consideration
caused holders to stand firm today. No
shipping business was done here today and
the export demand at the seaboard was
called poor. These worked against the
early upturn, but exceptionally larg cles.r
ances of wheat and flour 778,ii0 bushels
together with the big bullish factors,
brought a good rally. May opened SdAic
to hifc'HC advance at 74Hc to Ho, and soon
sold to 74c. A dip to 74c followed on
profit-taking, but the situation was strong
and May closed Vo'Tfcc up at 74c. Re
ceipts were 40 cars, none contract; Minne
apolis and Duluth reported 103 cars, a total
for the three points it 143, sgalnst 186 last
week and 307 a year ago. Primary receipts
were 19X.0U0 bushel, compared to 362,0ts last
year. Australian shipments were 248.01)0
bushels for the week, against 472.0U0 bush
els the corresponding week a year ago.
Signs point to a marked decrease In the
world's supply next week.
Corn trade was only fairly active in
spots. The opening was HMHc higher In
sympathy with the wheat advance, but the
demand was not brisk enough to sustain
the better prices and selling was free with
the iocal crowd. After the opening bulge
the market became a scalping affair and
S rices eased to last night's cloning figures,
tatlstlcs were still bullish, however, and
firlce of feed became something of a bull
sh character. Cash offerings west contin
ued small and receipts were 79 cars here.
There was some talk of a better movement,
but conservative traders persisted in the
opinion that there could be no liberal re
ceipts here. Cables were indifferent and
the sample trade waa dull. May corn sold
at SZc, eased off to 62c and closed firm, hi
ij'e up, at 62H(ij2i4.
Weather was the feature in the oats
market. Drouth and the higher prices pos
sible for feed influenced good buying early
for investment and short accounts. Wheat
and corn aided In the advance. July and
September both had good upturns and held
much of their strength. From appearances
there is no longer a fear of a corner in
May. May opened at 4:ic and closed un
changed at 43c. Receipts, 143 cars.
Weakness ruled In provisions, with pork
much lower, ribs Inclined to follow pork
and lard fairly steady on packers' sup
port. Liquidation and weakness of the hog
market, in spite of a small run of hogs
caused the declines. It was reported that
the weakness of hogs was due to manipula
tion by packers The grain strength was a
feeble ogaet. May pork closed 20c lower at
$16.60, May lard unchanged at $9.75 and
May ribs 7&10o down at $9.12M.
Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat, 46
cars; corn, 100 cars; -oats, 160 cars; hogs,

SEW YORK STOCKS AMD BOXDS.
t'nloa Paelde Leads with Animation
In All Parts of List.
NEW YORK, April 19 -The policy which
has been consistently followed during the
firesent speculative camps gn of large buy
ng and bidding up of some one prominent
stock as an effective leader of the whole
market waa maintained today, with Union
Pacific as the favored stock. No new con
sideration was advanced as a reason for
the buying, which carried the price up to
107H, where it closed at a net gain of 2H-
Under cover of this sustaining Influence
there was an active speculation in all parts
of the list. The movement was accordingly
active, aa taking of profits went on side
by side with new buying in a wsy char
acteristic of an active speculation. Many
special stocks were under manipulation by
separate pools and some of the Industrial
specialties made sensational movements.
International Power touched 168 and fluc
tuated very feverishly. Chicago, Indian
apolis A Louisville was erratic over a
range of more than 8 points below last
night. Canadian Pacific was very strong
and there was a notable advance in United
States Reduction. General Electric was
depressed by the strike In the company s
works, and Sugar showed the effect of the
vote In the house of representatives to re
scind the differential duty on re lined sugar.
Amalgamated Copper found some support,
but was feverish. American Snuff, Kansas
City Southern preferred and Minneapolis
Sl St. Louis made unexplained advances.
The loan contraction by the banks shows
that the resources for the week's specula
tion have been secured from other sources,
presumably the trust companies and the
foreign money markets.
The money rate haa remained sufficiently
high to invite further lending here by for
eign houses In spite of the demand on
money markets Incident to the Issue ot
the new British loan. The large over
subscription of that loan Is evidence of the
abundance of money seeking Investment,
and the fact of a large American partici
pation in the subscriptions without ad
versely effecting the foreign market, at a
time when commercial bills of exchange
are scarce and when there Is large selling
here of securities for foreign account, must
be accepted for striking evidence of the
large remaining credit resources of this
center in foreign markets.
The market has no help from the crop
prospects, regarding which the grains have
reflected misgiving. Long dreaded reduc
tion In the Amalgamated dividend passed
almost unnoticed in the general animation
of the m.vket.
Bonds showed some decline In activity
as the stock market gained, and there were
sharp reactions In some of the highly spec
ulative Issues. United States 2s advanced
h and the 3s registered, and old 4a, coupon,
per cent over the closing call of last
week.

Wool Market.
BOSTON. April 19.-WOOL The Commer
cial Bulletin will say in tomorrow's re.
port on the wool trade of the United States:
wool is dull. Demand this week has been
limited and even the Inquiry lor sample
hags has stopped. 1'rlces are steady, but
for most grades of domestic are purely
nominal in the absence of a test. The
large Importations of foreign were mostly
on manufacturers account. The tone of
foreign markets is firmer. A great many
buyers have left Boston for the west this
week. In Utah, Wyoming and other sec
tions sales are reported at 11120, which
mesns a landed cost here at which the
wools could not be sold today. The re
ceipts of wool In Boston since January 1,
1W2, have been 74.169.194 pounds, against 42,
415,900 pounds for the same period in 1901.
The Boston shipments to date are 81.611.
944 pounds, against shipments of 79,060.872
pounds for the same period in 1901. The
stock on hand In Boston January L 1902,
was 77,940,463 pounds. The total stock today
Is 72,338,786 pounds.

CATTLE There were no cattle on sale
this morning, so that a test of the market
was not made. For the week receipts have
been light, as a decrease la noted both as
compared with last week and also with the
same wtek of laat year. Packers have all
been anxious for supplies and as a result
prices on most lines nave held up in good
shape.
The bulk of the receipts this week was
made up of beef steers and the quality
was unusually good. The demand was best
for the heavyweight and for the light
weight cattle of good flesh and quality.
Cattle answering to that description can
safely be quoted a little higher than they
were a week ago and in fact they are at
the high point of the year to date. The top
price of the year, I7.0O, was paid on Friday
for a choice bunch of heavy export cattle.
The first half of the week the tendency of
prices was downward on all kinds, but
toward the close the more desirable grades
regained all the loss and more, too, while
the medium weight cattle Just about re
gained the loss. Good to choice cattle are
Belling from $6 40 to 7.0o. Fair to good cut
tle are going from $5.90 to $6.40 and com
moner grades from $6.75 down.
The cow market haB been very uneven all
the week. The first three days the tend
ency of prices waa downward, but on
Thursday and Friday the best grades re
gained almost all the loss. The common
and medium grades, however, are lower.
As compared with the high time, which
was the first part of last week, values are
25iQ40c lower, the greatest decline being on
the less desirable grades. Good to choice
cows are selling from $4.50 to $6.00. Fair to
good are quotuble from $3.90 to $4.50 and the
commoner grades are selling from $3.7a
down.
Good to choice bulls have sold about as
high this week as at any time, but the
commoner grades have been neglected and
prices are a little lower. Veal calves are
also aa high as at any time, aa a good
many veals are selling as high as 7.00.
Good stags are steady, but others are if
anything lower.
The stocker and feeder trade has not
been very lively this week. Receipts of
stock cattle have not been very heavy, so
there have been no very serious breaks In
the market. All kinds, though, are lower
for the week. The very best heavyweight
and also the choloe lightweight cattle have
not declined very much, but the common
grades of all weights are a drug on the
market, as no one wants them. It is
thought that the lack of demand is par
tially exululned by the fact that farmers
are beginning to feel the need of rain and
as long as that Is the case It Is not ex
pected that they will buy very many stock
cattle. It would take a choice bunch of
cattle 'o sill up to $5.00 and a good many
cattle that could be called choice have sold
for a good deal less than $5.oo during the
last few days.
HOGS The receipts of hogs were mod
erate here today, there being 6,600 fresh
and some 400 head left over from yester
day, aa compared with 6,5o0 yesterday and
6.6"0 a week ago. The conditions were
practically the same aa yesterday. The
market opened fairly active on good weight
hogs and steady to strong, while the light
and trashy bogs were all the way from
weak to 6c lower. Good heavy hogs sold
largely from $7.00 to $7.15 and as high as
$7.2o was paid, which Is the highest price of
the year. Medium weights sold mostly from
$C90 to $7.00 and the light stuff sold from
$6.90 down. There was a fairly early clear
ance ot tho good weight hogs, but, the
same as usual, the light stuff waa very
slow sale and It was lute before everything
waa cut of first hands. Packers will hardly
take the light stuff at any price and sellers
many limes find It almost Impossible to get
even a bid of that class of hogs.
The tendency of prices hits been upward
all this week and Friday proved to be the
high day, when the average coat of all the
hogs sold was $6.98. The total advance for
the week amounts to about 15c, which car
ries the market to the highest point reached
since the year 18U3. Representative sales:

SHEEP There were several run of a,n
here today, which makes the receipts for
the week considerably in excess of last
week, but as compared with the corre
sponding week of last year there la a big
decrease. The table of receipts above wi:l
show the exact flKures.
There has been an active demand all the
week for good sheep and th tendency of
prices was upward. Today the general
market on all kinds of sheep looked 15'i
26c higher than the same rrades were sell
ing fur a week ago. Clipped yearlings

clipped wethers which averaged 132 pound
also solj flPr fc-, ,o it p evident thnt
packers are anxious for good sheep, but
the common kinds are of course neglected
to some extent.
The lamb market has also been In good,
shape, but receipts of lambs have been
more liberal than of sheep. The market
for the week, though, can safely be quoted
steady to strong, with good stuff In de
mand. The feeder m.irket has also ruled strong,
with receipts light. Some Colorado feeder
lambs sold ns high at JS.40 Prices on
good stuff are now at the high point of
the season.
