In hog products there was a net gain of 6gju2Hc. Urgent attempts on the part of com mission houses to sell May wheat at the opening disclosed the fact that offerings from outside over night had reached a staggering total.

ISnerlal Tnrrm One of the i.rln. lr.ol fnlnr. in n..nrfhin,,. mat hate clvrn a decided otnimtstie Ion to buninena during the Inst week has been the ac;lvttv on the stock exchange which has entirely overcome the stagnation which prevailed during March Bnd April Comparer! with the dullness which pre ceded It. the animation of the mnrket has been the token for speculation beyond what had been predicted hv mnrkr-t weeis. vet prices have little altered on the whole and th transactors fron day to day have brn much of k profem.ora! character. In one detail the statistical record of the country, as published tnls week, contained an item that was novel and of no little significance. This was the compilation of commercial futures, showing the laxirest aggregate of small defaults for nnv April for many yeari. Including April. 1!T8, when they reached their maximum after a Ions Interval. 80 fur as foreign trr.de! goes the weeklv port figures Indicate a matter recession, which will perhaps be notable In the ex port movement. ' The high prices of farm products hnve brought a prlod of prosperity In sight for the railroads as may be noted hv the placing of orders for rail and equipment. His; Orders of teel. The Carnegie fiteel com Dan y reports rail orders for oOO.OV) tons for the Western Pennsylvania railways company. The Florida Kast Coast order for 14.000 tons will be filled by the . Pennsylvania Steel company. An order by the Feabord Air IJne for l.VmiO tons Is divided between the Tennese Coal, Iron and Realty company and Penn sylvania Steel company. The Seaboard A'r Line has ordered ton specific type locomotives from the Ameri can ixiconiotlve company and ten consoli dated and five heavy switching ensrtnes from the Baldwin locomotive Works. The United States Steel corporation has banked no additional blast furnaces lately, and is operating about ti3 per cent of capacity. Finished production Is on a basis of something like ti6 per cent of capacity. This would seem to Indicate shipments of 28,ft) tons a day. which Is at the rate of abtiot S0.u00.000 tons a year. In 19 ;he steel corporation produced 8.3iO,OiiO tons of steel. Operations todav arc only slightly In excess of what they were trn years ago. Notwithstanding the fact that money was apparently the dominating Influence in promoting whatever Improvement took place In the stock market during the week, there Is a growing sentiment In some quarters that Wall street Is starting In to discount trade betterment In the not dis tant future. The argument used In favor of thla Is that In many years past Im provement has come when business was at a low ebb. That this Is the condition at present la shown by the week's de velopments. Bank clearings were a good barometer of the country's trade and show a decrease for April of nearly 12 per cent. Every state reported a loss with the ex ception of the South Atlantio section, which gained 10 per cent. As to Crop Outlook. Optimism overreaches Itself In descant ing upon the glowing proepect In May. It Is permissible to (Uncus agricultural con ditions in the spring, but there Is no crop prospect, properly speaking, before Au gust. Conditions to date have been gen erally propitious and unusually so, and the probabilities are that the agricultural outturn of the year will be satisfactory in amount. An active week on the-stock exchange closed with a dull session today, although prices realized were those of a strong mar Expectations of a favorable crop report on Monday cauaed a final recovery today from the early declines in the market and the final quotations were not widely di vergent from those of last night. These same expectations caused a sharp break In May wheat on the produce exchange and all deliveries closed lower, with the final trading extremely dull. The bank statement, too. was unfavorable. The sur plus was slightly Increased, but. Instead of the predicted gain in cash the actual week-end figures showed a loss of 83.000, 000. Loans were decreased 31ll.2OO.O0O a rather singular result In a week of ex pandlng financial markets. There were, of course, the foreign credits to draw upon,' but the foreign exchange market of the week has not reflected large requisitions of the sort.

In fact, on the Stock Exchange sales of stoektf or the past month have been less than last rear by nearly 9,000,000 shares, which, with the lower qaotattont that ruled,, probably aeeounta tor vary material proportion of the lost at that eeater.

During the early part of the week the market on beef steers at all points was more or less of a drag, large receipts at the different market centers In the face 01 a not overly urgent consuming demand for the product made the trade in live cattle rather dull, with the tendency of prices tower, xnis tendency waa the most pronounced on heavy cattle, letter on In ths week, as the receipts fell off and as the feeling that the coming wk might show still smaller receipts became pro nounced In the minds of buyers, the trade seemed to take on more life and prfets strengthened up. At the close of the week handy light cattle and good grades of heavy cattle are around 10c higher, with other kinds steady. While there are un doubtedly a good many cattle still In the country snd while It Is expected that re ceipts will be heavy on some days at lestt for some time to come, still the prophets are beginning to talk that receipts In the future will be less burdensome and that prices ought to show Improvement. The market on cows and heifers has not 5.J.own very much change during the week. The demand on most days has been very fair and the trade raaannahlv aniva rinnA light heifers have been In best demand and they are possibly a little atronger than one week ago. The general run of butcher stock, however, could only be quoted as about steady. Veal calves and bulls are " trifle stronger thsn last week. Receipts of stockers and feeders have been very light throughout the week, but the demand has also been very moderate and values have eased off a little, so that fL?Te .cloM of th8 week thV ro around lower than last week.

The activity to demand, as well ss the advance, was largely due to a limited supply. About 85 cars arrived and as most buyers filled orders without delay, the session wss a short-lived affair. Complete clearance was made by 10 o'clock. Spreads narrowed somewhat, a develop ment that is frequent on a strong market, and the major portion of the crop held within a 16c range. Naturally, it follows that there were sales here and there that failed to show the fat nickel advance. '" luaiua aciiing strong to 60 higher. Shippers and speculators provided sn out let for about 10 per cent of total offerings. Ixing strings ranged from 86.60 to 86.70, good butchera moving around 86.66. Bacon animals sold as high as 86.76, a figure iden tified with yesterday's top, but lBo lets tban tops a week ago. While receipts for the week show a natural Iocs from last week's burdensome runs, the total Is seasonably large. Ship pers have been buying freely on most days and packing demand has been broad and generally active. Bulk of today's busi ness averages from a nickel to 16o lower than last Saturday's market, heavy hogs showing lesser declines. , ivepi cseniauve sales: No. Av. 8b. Pt. .441 ...

No fresh recetpta were avail able and yesterday's clearance was prac tically complete. Since and Including Monday dally sup plies have been well up to the average both In quantity and quality. About 29.000 head arrived In all. the bulk consisting of lambs with shorn offerings more plentiful than woolsklns. Mexicans are still running freely, of courte. and are showing up mostly in the fleece. Old sheep proved the exception to the rule at all times and amount of business transacted does not afford a very reliable Idea of price levels. Tone to demand lately was favorably contrasted with dull, slumpy Inquiry last week. All regular buyers took s greater Interest In the trade and made their pur chases In free-buying fashion, prices im proved more or leas ss the result of healthier feeltng. but advances were lira lied, and, cannot be taken aa the most lm- portant vhasa of the market when com rared wtih the g.neral character of de niand. vd lamhs. both wooled and shorn, claim the long end of any advance, closing about 16c and 2.' hlaher than a week aci.
