NEW YORK, April IS. R. O. Dun
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say:
The stringency In the money market
lis caused no Interruptlnn to t lie whole
some progress of trade and Industry, al
though lending to d velop conservatism
In Kperulattve departments. Weather con-
lltlons accelerate the distribution of sea
sonable merchandise and retail business
is of large volume outside the Immediate
vicinity of the coal mines and a few other
places where local controversies have
h"ir Influences. Building operations ajre
only limited by the, supply or labor an 1
material which cause frequent delays and
the heavy consumption of all commodities
Is shown by the hlKhest level of mini,
lions since February. 1884; Duns Index
number of April being- 106.066 against
lut.zus a month previous, and ,20 a
ear ago. Mince the month opened there
as been a further advance.
Manufacturing plants are fully engaged;
rig Iron production Is at the maximum.
shipments of footwear from Boston ex
ceed those of any previous year and a
strong tone Is reported at the textile
mills In response to the well maintained
markets for raw materials. Railway
earnings fop the first week of April were
k. I per cent larger than last years, al
though prices of securities have weakened
aoinewhat in response to the highest
money market at this season In many
years. Official statistics of foreign com
merce for the month of March indicate
that exports of farm staples were valued
at $S9,"uO,000, an increase of t2. 260,000, ss
compared with the corresponding period
lust year, when the movement was ex
ceptionally heavy.
Structural shapes and steel rails con
tinue the permanent feature of the Iron
and steel Industry, although every de
partment has recently broadened In In
terest. Failures this week numbered 19$ In the
I'nlted states, against 211 last year and
twenty In Canada, compared with twenty
a year ago.

NEW YORK. April 13. Bradatreet'a to

Trade displays more animation, weather
conditions, retail business and to Bonis ex

season influences have been a stimulus eveii
where low temperature, heavy rains or
bad roads have occurred and few 001 n-
filainta as to retail trad are noted. These
atter, by the way, are moat la tne east.
Generally spaaklrig, the weather west and
south haa been good and some lost ground
has been regained In planting, though the
crop planting season Is ailll fully leu days
late.
The spring Jobbing trade Is nearly over,
but some re-orders are noted and there
Is free buying of fall goods. Among the
industries favorable features are the activ

Wool Market.
BOSTON. April IS. WOOL The Boston
Commercial Bulletin will say tomorrow of
the wool market. The market fully re
tains Its strength, but less business Is
being done. The lack of supplies Is pri
marily responsible for the more quiet trad
Ins. At the same time manufacturers are
still closely watching the situation. It is
quit evident that notwithstanding the bull
ish position of the foreign and western
markets, buyers have reached the price
limit here for the present at least.
The principal sales of the week are again
In Australian and South American woola.
Cross breds are being taken freely at 42c
for New Zealand 46 a, or 63c, scoured. For
7o s merino 4-c, 42''' or S3c to 85c clean. Is
being paid.. Argentina cross breds are very
strong at 3Slvi39o for three-eighths and
37V; for high quarters. Territory wool I In
decidedly limited supply, and transfers are
necessarily of small Individual amounts.
Prices, however, rre strong. A little fine
medium Montana has been sold at 2&24c,
grease, or 7tc scoured. Some tradts in
new Arizona sre told of at 6"u70c, or about
I60 In the grease. Fine etmle is worth 72
t7Sc, and fine medium, &Mi'7X'.
Eastern merchants are now fully repre
sented in the territories and tho buying
season will soon tie 011 Shearing is lu
progress in Utah und Nevada, with sales
In the former state at 2W.r22c, and others In
Nevada at 19i22e. I.ate advicea from Idaho
state that 23c has been oftictally paid in
certsln sections.
The shipments of wool for Boston to date,
from December 27, l'3. according to the
same authority, are 70,2:1837 pounds,
aaainst 7294 810 no'inds at the same time
lst year. The receipts to dite are 76.177.

LIMA. O.. April IS. Crude oil was ad
vsnced for all fields except Kentucky and
Kansas by the Standard oil tompanv to
day. The Chang was the tlrsi made in
sit months and adds 3 cents a barrel to
the eastern and 2 centa to the western
pioduct. Continued dralna of over 600. 000
barrels monthly from the gross stock are
the cause. North Lima oil is quoted al

found the usual difficulty In making things
go In a market of those restricted limits.
Tho exchanges for othei commodities were
Hii cloyed, aa were tho forclRti stock mar
kets, the latter to be closed until next
Tuesday. The New York stock exchange
.is almost completely isolated from live
contact with the world's markets. 1'nder
theso circumstances there was no disposi

designed In fart almost exclusively to ar
range outstanding call loans, which carry
over until Monday. The fear of attempts
to arrange loans yesterday to carry over
until Monday, which would have been
necessary In the event of observing he
holiday, waa what prompted the ODeiilng
of the exchange for trading today. The
arangement of loans was concluded at
an early hour and was followed by the de
parture of many brokers, leaving the mar
ket In a condition of practical stagnation.
The easier tone of the money market
gave rise to a feojlng of confidence that
yesterday s bank statement would show
the deficit In the reserve below the legal
(requirements made up. This was the
ground underlying the firm tone In the
stock market. Special strength In one of
the two Individual stocks helped to sus
tain the market. Amalganinted Copper
rose on reiterated rumors of Intended div
idend increase. The ground taken by the
parties to the coal labor controversy that
further confidence was In order, kept alive
a hopeful sentiment for a settlement,
which was reflected In the strength of
Reading. The weakness of Baltimore A
Ohio was an example of the small relish
for additional cnpltHl Issues In the present
temper of Wall street and the condition of
the money market. The preferred stock of
the company, however, which shared In
the subscription privileges but not In the
added liability to claims on the surplus for
dividends, rose strongly. Operations of
tho banks with the subtreasury have
nearly balanced on the week, while the
known movements of money V the Inter
ior have yielded In the neighborhood of
$2.000,or to New York. This estimate pre
sumably includes gold received from Can
adian sources. Stock market liquidation
and the transfer of loans from New Y'ork
to foreign money markets and to Interior
banks have operated to relieve the loan
account of the New Y'ork banks. How far
these factors may have been offset by the
new demand for credits upon tho New
Y'ork banks will require the official bank
statement to determine. But the easier
tone of the money maket today indicated
the restoration of a surplus in the reserves.
Foreign exchange reacted slightly from
the highest level of yesterday but be
came steadv again and gave no Indication
of falling ugaiu to the gold import level.
The market closed with aome show of
strength and activity and at the best prices
of the day.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $.'.55o.t". I'nlted States bonds were
all unchanged on call.

Good Friday n Holiday on the Omaha
Exchange.
OMAHA, April 18, I.
Good Friday was a holiday on the Omaha
exchange, as It was on all the other grain
exchanges of the country. The wires were
practically unused and little news was re
ceived. Corlot receipts did not come. All
Kuropean markets have adjourned until
Tuesday.
A report from Minneapolis said It rained
all night there. Private advices from Okla
homa agree with the topping Oklahoma re
ports which put that territory at 100, except
one county, which is 97. The weather map
Is wet. It rained many places In the sirring
wheat belt, and In others rain is threaten
ing. iiost of those who lingered around the
local exchange this morning were bulllsn
on corn. The tendency to light movement
will be Incrensed by wet weather. The
farmers cannot haul In the rain, and when
weather Is fair they are compelled by the
lateness of the seeding season to work in
the fleld. On wheat opinion was expressed
both ways, though both bulla and bears
were somewhat uncertain.
A letter from Liverpool says Importers
are beginning to doubt existence of the
American surplus, as it Is very hard to get
any wheat offered to I'nlted Klngjom..
At the close of business Thursday cash
wheat was wnntc-d nt Chicago at lo over
May for No. 1 northern and 14c over for
No. 2 northern.

HOW SHE ALWAYS KNEW
Lonely Old Maid Explain How She
Kept Case on Town
(;ossi:.
All atone on the hilltop lived Hannah Jan
Spriggins, mid a lonely life she led. this
ancient maid. Much to the wonder of the
good people of the village of Muddybetnps,
Me., she was never at a loss for nows, and
when neighbors called with stray bits ut
information, Hannah Jane u.1 way knew It
long before it had been spread broadcast
through the town.
Say, did ye know Sam Wliitten' Anue
had a shock?" volunteered an excited fe
male, dropping in on Hannah Jane early
one evening. Just a that peaceful soul
waa sipping her nightly brew of tea.
"Taken at ! o'clock this afternoon,"
calmly replied that lady, aerenely, "had to
send for that know-nothing critter of a
Dr. Smith, 'cause Dr. Brown wasn't home.
Got Sam Ketchum's Tabltha for a nurse."
"For the land's sukes, Hannah, how'd
ye know It?" gasped the astounded caller.
"You ain't had time to go down to tho vil
lage and back since it happened." Han
nah Jane shook her head In mysterious
fashion.
"You do beat all getting the news first,"
continued the neighbor, with an injured air.
"How In time's sake do ye manage?" Hun-
I nah Jane meditated moment, then beck
oned to her guest, who was one of lid'
oldest friends, and led her In solemn si
lence up the winding stair that led to a
turret chamber at the top of the house.
This room had been made for her father,
an old sea captain of the town, so that
he could watch the vessels as they sailed
into the harbor.
From an ancient bureau in tli corner of
the room Hannah Jane drew forth some
thing wrapped carefully In tissue paper.
"Opery glasaes," she explained briefly, as
she took out her treaaure from the num
erous wrappings. "Niece Ellen sent 'em
to me Ave years ago; and a great comfort
they have been, too," she added feelingly.
"There not many a place in town
but what I can make out with these op
pery glasses, and there not much going
on that 1 don't know," finished this origi
nal being triumphantly, who in this novel
fashion kept herself well In touch with
the rest of the world. Iewiston Journal.

CATTLE Receipts cf cattle this morning
were very small, only forty cars being re
ported In, still the receipts were about as
large aa a week ago. The arrivals con
sisted largely of beef steers, with only a
sprinkling of other kinds.
There is not very much to be said re
garding the day's trade It was one of those
alow, indifferent kind of markets met with
oulte frequently on a Friday. The number
of beef steers on sale was small and so
were the wants of buyers. Where some
one Just happened to want a certain kind
of cattle it as a comparatively easy mat
ter to obtain steady prlcs. hut on the
other band the demand was so limited that
the general market was very slow and In
some esses It was hard wori to effect a
clearance.
There were not to exceed a half dozen
Kinds of cows on the market, the offerings
consisting almost entirely of a few odds
and end'v, prluclpnlly old cows on the dairy
order. As might be expected under such
conditions the trade was slow and there
was not enough doing nt any one time to
really call It a market or to make It pos
sible to get a correct estimate of values.
To call if dull but steady would be about
as near as one could get at It. ,
There were no stockers or feeders of any
consequence on sale add so far as could be
judged none were wanted. Speculators had
quite a number of cattle on hand and were
not anxious for any more until they were
dispoM-d of.

HOGS Hog sold today 2V&io rusher
nearly everything going at $4 37'4'!jv5 40, a
against $e..'CS4i435 yesterday. While th
market sua not particularly active every
thing changed hands in very good season
la the morning. The narrow range in
prices Is due to the fact that light and
heavy hogs are selling practically at the
same prl.es and Hie only distinction that
buyers make between loads Is laed on the
quality, the weight cutting comparatively
little figure
Todaj advance makes a new high mark
for th nar. he average today being the
highest that it haa been any time In about
three years. It will be noted tlutt the re
ceipts continue very light, theie being a
heavy falling off as compared m it h last
week and a slight decrease as compared
with a year ago. As pointed out already
in these columns, the light receipts are due
iuiueHtloiiu.hly to the fart that furmers
have been very busy In the fields

STONE THE MOST DURABLE
Modern Bridge Builder Going; Bark
to the Material teed by
the Roman.
There is a great hope for the future de
velopment of bridges In that there seems
to be a tendency among financiers more
closely to consider the question of main
tenance as related to original cost in. large
construction enterprises, and this will un
questionably Induce them to build more
largely of stone and brick than ha been
the case until this generation.
In the construction of stone bridges the
Roman were the first great builders.
Bridge building was. In fact, one of the
most interesting problem they had to
solve. In architecture and construction
they were, indeed, a most original and
artlstjc people; too little appreciated find
studied by modern Anglo-Saxons. They
were the forerunners of our present con
struction. I'ntll their time the Greeks had
reached that- measure of perfection, now
so much considered, and their wa the
culmination of the slow artistic develop
ment through tho ages.
The Romans, however, had presented to
them untried problems to be solved which
culled for new methods of construction and
of thoso the bridge or aqueduct was one of
the most interesting. They were practically
the tlrst people to use the principle of the
arch and vnussolr construct ion. The ufe of
the arch principle, while sometimes attrib
uted to the Chinese, whs practically un
known to the ancients of the western civ
ilization until the Roman conquest.
Such wonderful bridges aa the one built
by Caesar Augustus at Rimini or the Pont
du Gard, the great aqueduct situated about
twenty miles from Ntmes built acrosa the
River Gard and attributed to Agrlppa; the
bridge of 81. Augustus at Rome, started by
Adrian, and many others too numerous to
mention have scarcely ever been surpassed.
There seems to have been a period between
this time and the twelfth century when few
bridge of Importance were built, and It
wa between the years of 1171 and 1188 that
the famour bridge of St. Bennet at Avig
non was built. Several other beautiful
bridges soon followed similar to it In con
struction. Thin came the early Renaissance bridges,
also too numerous to mention th old Pont
Neuf being, perhaps, the first in Paris, the
famous bridge attributed to Ammanatl, the
architect, In the sixteenth century at Flor
ence, also the largest atone bridge ever
built In the world with a span of 183 feet
and a rise of sixty feet over the Alitor at
Viellie Breonde, France, or the bridge at
Chester over the Dee, forty feet high, with
200-feet (pan. Metropolitan Magaslne.

WOMAN'S "NO" COMES HIGH
Mining; Deal In Which Charley
Hrhnah Mmm Obliged to Raise
the Limit.
All th gold fields country tell th story
of how a woman wit and her emphatic
"No" cost Charles M. Schwab tl.OOO.COO and
made hr husband that much wealthier.
Th woman who said It Is th wife of Rob
ert Montgomery, a mining expert and pros
pector, who had had his up and down In
search for yellow metal and finally came
Into possession of a mln In th Tonopah
region In Nevada. Much ha beta written
of the fortunes which, have been made in
tliat Eldorado, of the varying luck of the
men who sought precious ores In th des
ert, and of the many companies which In
turn were exploited being the only guides
to success.
Robert Montgomery was on of th first
who acquired claims in the new land of
gold. He had partner with whom he had
differences, and lawsuits and other compli
cations bad a discouraging tendency, but
he still retained his Interest. Hi wife told
him 1 hat there wa a future In Nevada
mining, and that if he only held tsn long
enough he would certainly find he would not
be the loser.
Charb M. Schwab became Interested In
gold mining companies ami hecam con
vinced that Nevada had a bright future.
In taking a survey of the mineral resources
of the stat he encoutered "Bob" Mont
gomeiy. a plain-spoken man, and the Mont
gomery Shoshone mine.
"I offered hlin a million for It about two
years ago." said Mr. Schwab In speaking
of the transaction, "and b wa about lo
take It. In fact, I considered the deal
closed. He went to Ban Francisco, and the
first thing I knew Mrs. Montgomery had
persuaded him to withdraw from the ne
gotiations. Nothing more was heard of the
matter for nearly a year and I made
another trip out there. It seemed to ro as
though something could he made out of
th butlnes and negotiations with Mont
gomery were carried on. Mrs. Montgom
ery kept on saying 'No' and finally I ac
quired th property on a basl of $J.CO0.m.
Her 'No' cost m four millions. The Mont
gomery went again to Ban Francisco,
where they are now living, and I often
wonder how they are (pending the money."
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Montgomery are
thoroughly enjoying life. Their home Is
the St. Francis hotel, and they are for t lie
present not giving much attention to th
mining Industry. Th hotel where they
live Is something like the Waldorf-Astoria
In New Tork, and there Is something mors
alluring about life there than In the desert,
where there 1 nothing but stretches of al
kali earth and mountains suspected of hav
ing gold deposits.
They occasionally go to the regions
whence they derive the wealth which en
able them to make existence a long holi
day If thoy would, but they find tnoit est
In life at the Golden Gate. Mrs. Montgom
ery was at the Hotel Bt. Franel when I
saw her.
Bh Is sn energetic, magnetlo woman, a
California by birth, and In her unconven
tional mariner reveal the daughter of the

cause with her it la a matter of sentiment.
Her husband presented the gem to her In
day when It waa more difficult for him to
acquire diamond than It is at present. She
1 a trifle inclined to embonpoint, a fact
which is mentioned In order to allow that
the report that represent her as 4o pounds
of energy and decision Is exaggerated.

WHY HE DID NOT GROWL
Story Told by On of a Party of Konr
Trying; to Rat a Tough
'Beefsteak.
Four men sitting around a restaurant
table eating a very tough beefsteak and
all growling fiercely except one.
"Why don't you holler?" said one of the
growlers to the silent one. "Do you like
tough beefsteak?"
"No better than anybody else," said the
fourth man, "but I had an experience once
over tough beefsteak that ha made me
shy about growling about It ever since.
"At a restaurant where a party of us
were taking our meals at that time, in a
town In California, we had, every day,
beefsteak that would call this tender
alongside of it. I think It must have
been tanned or prepared In ome way be
cause It was like a thick hide for tough
ness. "And we used to growl over that beef
steak, Just as you follows hav been doing
here, and finally we 'gut real grumpy over
it, so that we were always sour at the
table. Then I thought I'd liven things up
a little, and maybe even get the boys to
smile once more they were naturally a
cheerful lot by making a little Joke over
the meals.
"80 one day I brought In a hatchet with
m under my coat, and when our regular
slabs of beefsteak cam on I got the
hatchet out and laid It on the table. And
that actually did make the boys smile a
little.
"But It didn't affect the proprietor that
way. Ho spied the hatchet aa soon as 1
laid It on tho table and came right over.
'" 'What you carrying that hatchet 'round
for?' he says. 'Are you a lather?'
" 'No,' I says, 'I brought that In to cut
up the beefsteak with.'
"He was a blr man, had been a miner,
and he was strong and able, and a fighter
and I knew this; but I'd brought that
hatchet in Just for a little joke. I had
not meant anything terrible by it and 1
didn't feel that I had done him any great
wrong and so I spoke up good and bold.
" 'What's the matter with the steak?' lie
snyfl, his face getting harder all the time.
'Is it tough?'
"'It. Is too tough.' I said. 'Why.' and
then: because by this time I was getting
to be quite warmed up, I tried to tell him.
"I tried to convey to him as clearly as I
could Just how tough it was. with hlin
telling me before I got through that I'd
better get right out and go somewhere
where the steaks would suit me better,
and startlnrt finally to put me out when I
didn't go.
"And then, of course, my friends came
In and then the wsiters butted lu to help
the boss. And then for quite a spell we
certainty' did have a strenuous time there.
But they put us out finally and I lost my
hatchet and In the -ourse of the row,
which had started over that little Joke of
mine, I got a handling that waa a gotid
deal tougher than the beefsteak. I didn't
get around again for three weeks.
"And the moral effect of that little Inci
dent, which happened eighteen years ago
this month, ha remained with me ever
since, I may occasionally growl at some
other things, and I think very likely we
could do up this outfit here, but I never
growl myself st tough beefsteak." New
