NEW YORKt May 3. Money on call easy at 224 per cent, tbe last loan being made at 2, . and closing offered at 2. Prime mercantile raperSaSSi percent Sterling exchange firm at $4.87 for sixty-day. bill, and $4.83 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day -were 255,922 shares, including tlie following: Atchison, 18,410; Delaware, Lackawanna &, Western, 10,900; Louisville & Nashville, 7,200; Missouri Pacific, 7,299; Northwestern, 8,375; Northern racific, preferred, 7,SC0; Oregon Transcontinental, 14,OlOi Heading, 24.700; Richmond &. West Point, 19,370; Bt. Taul, 27,020; Union Pacific, 14,200; Western Union, 3,172. The stock trial ket was again fairly active and jenerally stroi:g today, but tlero was not the same unifonu movement that has characterized the dealings of tte previous few days, and some stocks to-night are slightly lower than last evening. TLo great feature of tbe day wa the buying of the granger stcck?, ami they again led the list both in point of activity and strength. The covering of the shorts and purchases for tte long account by the Western operators, who have o lately been of a bearish turn of nrnd, still continued, and Bnriington still felt the stimulus of the remarkablo increase in its earnings for Ma-cli, bringing the rest of the stocks of the reads in that section of the country with it. The fan of the probability of a renewal Of tut negotiations between the Union and Northern Pacifies was not known until after the clote of business yesterday, and It stimulated a decidedly bullish feeling upon the streeta this morning and made Union Pacific once more one of the leading strong stocks. There were $2,750,000 gold engaged for export to-morrow, and while this had some effect to restrict the upward movement it conld not stop It, and Its 1 nflnenco soon wore away though there was an attempt to get up a slight scarcity of money In the last part of the day upon the strength of it The "bears," as on yesterday, made a demonstration against the list in the forenoon, and actually succeeded In getting some stocks down a shade below their opening figures by noon, but there was a large amount of Burlington called in which had been loaned, and it commanded ft premium for rise at one time of ' s rer diem, and it steadily rose and reached o point within 1 per cent of par before the close. A feature of the day was the heavy foreign buying of fit. Paul, and, although that stock moved up only fractionally, it displayed a marked strong tone throughout the day. The activity In Richmond A West Point was a marked feature of the early trading, Imt, after the nature of the .probable action at to-morrow's meeting was known, the stock fell away and steadied down. The opening prices were generally from a to 3a per cent, higher than lat evening's fljmres, una the."e gains were further increased in the enrly trading by fractional amount with Lackawanna, Richmond & West" Point and Union Pacific leading. The "bears however, succeeded in bringing the general list down to about the level of the owning tijnire before the end of the first hour, after which then was a period of stagnation, the only featnre being the weakness in Pullman, which declined about 4 per cent The grangers then came to the front and developed marked strength, which lasted until the close, which was active and strong at the best fhrures. Pullman is alone in showing a material low to-night being down 1 per cent, but Burlington Is np 2V, Oregon Navigation 2 3, Chattanoosra 2, Union Pacific l1 and most of the others fractional amounts. Railroad bonds were not in such urgent demand as yesterda, but the business done aggregated $1,834,000 and a strong tone was noticeable throughout the day, resulting In advances all through the list. There were very few marked changes among the active bonds, however, and the important gains are generally among the neglected class of bonds. The Burlington, Quincy & Denver 4s rose 2, to 91; Denver South Park 1st 2, to 89; Denver fc Klo Grande Western ceriflcates 23p, to 87; Gulf, Colorado fe Santa Fe seconds 2, to 95.

The Ups and Downs of the Market with the lUuiRe In Prices of l.nllnc Articles. CHICAGO, May 3. A Tory fair fatudne? was transacted in wheat, and the feeling developed was etrouger, with part of yesterdays decline recovered. June shewed more strength, advanced le and closed about lo higher. July opened a shade stroncer than yesterday's closing, and gradually improved, advancing me, and cloned about lo bleber than yesterday. There was nothing special in shape of outside new s to cause the fiimnes, which was attributed to change In local sentiment and a feeling that, perhaps, rrices for the present were low enough. At any rate, there was less pressure to sell, and the siculative offerings were not as heavy as yesterday. With fair buying, partly by shorts and good investment, possibly for quick turn, the market was well sustained. Duluth and Minneapolis are both lowerto-day. Advices from Dakota again report no rain. A fair busi ness was transacted in corn and the feeling de veloped was firmer. The stronger tone was attributed mainly to the active shipping demand and to smaller anticipated receipts. The near futures were relatively firmer and the premium of the more deferred deliveries was narrowed somewhat. The market opened at yesterday closing prices, was firm and advanced stc. ruled steady, closing 4se higher than venterdnv. Oats were qnlet but steady, and price 42C higher. The amount of new business was not large, and a good part of the trading confuted in selling in May, aod buying Jnne and July at eo difference. Little Interest was manifested in hoc Xroduct, and the feeling was easier. The re ceipts ot nogs were larger man generally anticipated, accompanied "with a moderate decline in vrices. and this feature had a tendencv to en.

Dun A Coa weekly review of trade sa a: The unprecedented Inter mptionof business by centennial preparations and celebrations has made the week nearly a blank in commercial or financial respects. At New York accumulated orders gave a surface appearance of greater activity on Thursday and Friday, but it is yet too soon to judge which way the tide will turn, and the rerorts from other cities, though nearly all hopeful in tone, do not indicate the expected Improvement The situa tion seems better at Milwaukee, satisfactory at Omaha, good at Cleveland as to most branches, but questionable as to iron; rather dull at Kansas City and EL Paul, and less encouraging at the chief centers of the grain, Iron, coal and leather, trades. Collections are "far from satisfactory" at Milwaukee, and not improved at Detroit, but in other lines there, and at other cities genetiy, they seem fairly satisfactory, and at New York some dry goods dealers com plaiu that oclle'jtions r.re "too good" buyers keep so far within means. Reports aoout the wool trade are contradictory. A report that the Treasury may not decide tbe woolen worsted question for months disturbs importers, wbo have quantities of goods locked up because collectors wait for a decision. Otherwise the woolen trade shows a little better movement Silks are quiet, but linens are quite active. A fair business in boots and shoe continues. The paper trado is active. The slow improvemmt continues in drug and chemicals. Recent eigus of improvement in iron and steel have not been sustained. II ere and at Boston Southern No. 1 pig has been offered at $16, and though by new companies to Introduce their products, the effect on prices of other iron Is felt At Philadelphia, though sales are hard to make, It is said that there is a very remarkable feeling of confidence, but at Pittsburg prices are lower, sMes of manufactured Iron more diClcult, and a large sale of steel rails at $26 Is reported here to have been made by a Ilttsburg inilL At Philadelphia, structural plate, sheet and boiler Iron are in good demand, at Cleveland and here. Coal Is dull; tUe reported Increase in stocks for March is 60,000 tons, and a strike at Pittsburg Is expected. Copper still waits. Tin is lower abroad, and 20.40o for prompt delivery h jre, and lead is very much demoralized. Wheat icoes loxrer yet harini? sold at 824C. Corn has declined c, and oats lc, since last week. Pork is unchanged, with lard and hogs a shade higher; colfee and sugar are unchanged, but oil an sc higher. In general, the course of prices still tends downward, but many products of large Importance are now so low that not much further decline is expected, while a quick advance might follow a revival of demand or speculative confidence, Stocks have been neglected and dull, but a little stronger in price with the disposition to believe that the next considerable movement must be upward. The future of the market probably depends much upon the movements of money and the feeling of foreign investors, and for the moment both favor holders, but bankers look upon a considerable outco of specie as not Improbable, and the policy of Secretary Windom, as far as it have been made known, doe3 not seem likely to cause larfe disbursements before July. The. one favorable feature Is that merchandise exports are still large. The treasury has taken In during tho week $1,600,000 more than it has paid out The business failures number 214 for the week and 213 for last week, and 246 the week previous. For the corresponding week last year tho figures were 234. TRADE IN GENERAL. Quotations at St Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Other Points. ST. LOUIS. May 3. Flour active and steady.

There have been sales this ' week of all kinds of wool amounting to 2,137,200 pounds, of which 1,198,000 are ef foreign grades and the rest domestic It will be seen, therefore, that the business in domestic wool has been very small. But few manufacturers have been here, and those who have been have taken only small lota. In prices there are no changes to note. A few small Invoices of new clip ha ve been received, mostly fat sheep wooL Fine wahad fleeces are very qniet at previous prices. Ohio wool la offered at 3134o for X and XX and Mlehigan at 29330 for X. A small sale of No. 1 Ohio combing was made at 39c, and in unwashed combing there have been sales of Kentucky and Missouri three-eighths blood at 27aa 30o. Territory, Texas and other unwashed wools are quiet, with small sales of Territory at 163 22c, Oregon at 16320 and California at 17t23c.

Trade Improves Under Genial Influence of a More Seasonable Temperature. Ikdiamafolis, May 3. There was a marked improvement in trade today over either of the preceding days of this week. A goodly number of buyers were in and mailorders were very satisfactory.. In values there were but few fluctuations. Dry goods carry a steady, firm tone and the bills that are sold show that retail merchants are in a buying mood if the weather is seasonable. Probably there Is no market more unfavorably affected by unseasonable weather than that of dry goods. Pro vision men say that they are selling more in a Jobbing way than in Jlay, 188, but prices are somewhat unsettled, so they are unable to make even fair margins. The hide market is certain ly iLore active, but prices drag East -which makes them weak West In the produce market there is the usual activity. Eggs, on a brisk local de mand, are firm. Young chickens are wanted, and those weighing a pound and a half will readily bring $4 a doien. Above that weight they are quoted at 14 cents a pound. Hens range from 8 to 8a cents a pound. Fair prices are readily realized on choice kuttter. but poor stuff will not sell. Asparagus, rhubarb, lettuce and greens are plentiful, the home-grown being on the market The market for both lemons and organges is firm at the revised quotations of Wednesday. The prices of strawberries are unsettled.' Thero Is a considerable per cent of the arrivals inferior in quality, and the grocers take hold cautionsly unless they know the shipper and the character of fruit ho puts up. Cucumbers are plentiful at 80 cents a dozen, but the cool weather of late checked the demand. There is a great demaad for tomatoes, but arrivals are unusually light for May. In green peas, the best sell readily at $1.50 per box, and green beans at $2 to $3 for three-peck boxes. grain. The slightly-improved tone to the local marketcontinues. The bidding on corn to-day was quite spirited. Oats ruled steady and are in fair local request. Nothing good can yet be said about wheat.'
