TKAD1NG IRREGULAR

Dealers in Stocks Only Cleaninsr Up for Good Friday. Indications of a Whisky Trust Deal Brewing Indianapolis Grain Dull, Low and Not Wanted. At New York, yesterday, money on call vas easy at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 21 Per cent. Sterling exchange was easy, with actual business In bankers' bills at ll.toUlilASU for demand and at $!.S7H$7! for sixty lays: posted rates, Jl.&Sfrl.WVi; commercial bills. l.fm 4.864. Silver certificates, SSvSc. liar sllvef closed at L0ic per ounce; at London, T'A. Sales of stocks were 118,700 shares. The share speculation was irregular and unsettled, and the volume of business extremely light. As a matter of fact, the trading was more strictly a matter of closing out contracts by professionals, who were not disposed to remain long or short of the market over the Good Friday holiday. Consequently, the market was without important feature. Between 11 o'clock and noon the dealings were irregular. There was a decline of 1 per cent, in Cordage and an advance of in rittf-burg, C, C. & St. Louis. During the early part of the afternoon the market was stronsr, but under free sales prices took a downward turn, New Jersey Central breaking 2li and Chicago Gas y. During the last fifteen minutes the trading was very Irregular, and the market closed very unsettled, comparing with the closing sales of Wednesday. The shares which show improvement are Canada Southern, Vi and Pittsburg, C, C &. St. Louis. The only stock which lost mor? than a fraction was New Jersey Central, the decline in whlcft is 1U." Sugar fluctuated with much ferquency, but kept within a limit of and made an adVance of Ji on the day. The grangers were among the rost active group, but the changes were but slight. Distilling' closed at Wednesday's final prices, having in the meantime fluctuated between 27Vi and 2i. It. was reported at the close of business that an agreement had been reached by the Joint conference committee of the distilling and distributing companies, which was, however, to be submitted to the board of directors of both companies for consideration. Heading was weak on the announcement that the receiver ha'i petitioned for leave to contract for a subway In Philadelphia, to cost $6.0 Ato). The statement is made that 75 per cent, of the Erie second mortgages have been deposited under the directors' reorganization plan. The indications now are, in view of the decline in sterling bills, that no Kold will be shipped to Europe by Saturday's steamers. The purchase in this market of American securities for the foreign account during the past few days has added largely to the volume of the bills in the market, and removes the profit In port operators. Shippers also await definite news as to the facts of the seigniorage bill. The bond market was strong all day, the features being the strength and activity of the Texas Pacific and St. Louis & Southwestern issues. The leadlner changes on the day were: Advances Illinois Central fours of 1&G3, 2', Chesapeake & Ohio It. & A. division seconds, 2. Government bonds were firm. State bonds were dull.

On the wholesale streets It was les3 active yesterday than on Tuesday, the dry goods and millinery houses feeling the dullness most. Grocer3 were busy, and on Commission row it was a good day. The increase in business on Commission row the last few days has given an old-time &1 pr-irance to South Delaware street. Railroads are also feeling the Improvement with the commission merchants. In prices yesterday there were few changes, several articles which have been unsettled In price being more steady. The shipments of potatoes, cabbage and onions are unusually large for March.

SMILING MERCHA NTS Bradstreet's Finds a Bettor Demand for Goods All Over. Wall Street in tho Dumps on Account of the JSeisrnioracre Bill and What Will De Done with It. NEW YORK, March 22. In its review of the state of trade Bradstreet's, March 24. will say: Increased observance of good Friday In business circles helps to check the volume of trade. Notwithstanding there being practically one less business day this week than last, continued springlike weather has further stimulated sales of staples at nearly all larger cities in Eastern, Middle and in some of the Western States, comparatively fewer Southern distributing centers reporting corresponding gains. While Eastern woolen mills cannot meet orders for fancy dress goods, many woolen mills are running on part time, and large stocks of oil wool, with new California and Texas clip available within sixty days, depress prices. Print cloths are selling well and Eastern cotton mill3 are active, although sale3 continue smaller than the output. A view of the situation is that Boston agents of the Pittsburg Iron and seel manufacturers are firmer in their estimates. The demand from Northwestern storekeepers for millinery, clothing and hardware Is kept up by continued fair weather and small stocks, results being felt in improvement at Chicago and St. Louis. At the former several one-thousand-ton orders for coke pbjf Iron, 1895 delivery, have been taken, as well as for steel rall3 at $25, Chicago; but prices are hardly satisfactory. St. Louis reports that demand for finished iron and steel is improving, but due to cuts in quotations. Among more conspicuous staple products prices have advanced for rice, cotton and Indian corn, increased available supplies being primarily responsible. Coffee and leaf tobacco remain strong at practically unchanged figures and lower ranges of value have been reached by several varieties of Iron an 1 steel, by live cattle and live hogs at Western markets, by both raw and refined sugar, by wheat, oats and by mess pork. Relatively the smallest gains in Western mercantile an. I industrial circles within the week are at Cleveland. Cincinnati and Toledo. At Louisville staple merchandise and jeans clothlnir are in ood demand, while at Detroit merchandise Is moving more freely and industries are better employed.

"Walt a minute," he hurriedly exclaimed, as he went toward the wash room. In a minute or so he reappeared and handed a twenty-dollar bill to the dark, "Charlie" Baker. Receiving his change, the customer departed, and Walter Tappan, of the Homer Lee Banknote Company, who was f-tandlng by. requested BaKer to let him look at the bill. Taking it, Tappan held It up to the light, nnd returned it. saying: "I thought so. That fellow carries his money pinned to his clothes somewhere. How do I know? Why. there's a dozen pinholes In that bill. Hundreds of men carry It the same way. I saw an item in a newspaper the other day which shows how the practice is followed. A town bond, of the town of Dehil, N. Y., was turned Into the town treasurer for redemption. It was punctured so full of pinholes as to be almost unreadable. As soon as it was determined to be genuine, however, th3 money was paid and an investigation begun. Then the late owner of the bond finally admitted that h? had carried the bond for a long time plnntl to hi3 undershirt, and as he had changed that garment iuite frequently, the bond had In-come full of holes."

SELLERS IN EXCESS

Trice of Wheat at Chicago Made a Small Decline. The Cold Wave Scare Was Not a Very Potent Influence Provisions Picking Up Steadily. CHICAGO. March 22.-In anticipation of to-morrow's holiday and uncertainty regarding the effect of the approaching cold wave, there were? more sellers than buyers of wheat, and the price, compared with yesterday's closing, is Mc lower. Corn is lower anil oats unchanged. Provisions wers strong, closing prices showing a gain of 10c in pork, .070 In lard and .05c in ribs. The opening in wheat was quiet, without change in price sine the previous afternoon. The cold wave was moving slowly over the winter wheat belt, and had already spread over Nebraska, Kansas and down into Texas. Its course was still eastward, but the effect of the cold was only sufficient to raise a doubt and make It debatable whether any actual damage to the whi:at plant would result from it. The early cables were comfortless and noted no change in the foreign situation. The receipts at Chicago were light. Minneapolis reported 203 cars and Duluti 37, or 210 In all, compared with 340 at the same two places last year. New York reported 20 boatloads ia all taken by exporters th:re yesterday, besides 175,000 bushels by local millers. Baltimore reported no inquiry from exporters there. Business was more than usually dull, and fluctuations for two hours wer confined between 57"gO and 5ST5SUc during the entire forenoon. The clearances from th? Atlantic seaboard were liberal. The receipts at the primary' Western markets, exclusive of Kansas City, were 281.3bu bushels, against 4'1,133 bushels a yea ago. Clo3ing cables reportsd rather easier continental markets. Antwerp was quoted 1Z centimes lower; Paris from unchanged to ic lower for wheat, and from unchanged to 20c lower for flour. There was an increase of activity with prices on a slifrhtly lower plane near the end. May sold at 57c and closed at hlfjhV.ie There was very little life in the corn market, and not enough doing to lift or depress values to a greater extent than He or so. Export clearances were small, but there was a good demand for the offerings here at about hc over yesterday's prices. May started at 27ic declined to 374c rose to 37Hc, but. under the Influence of the easy feeling in wheat, toward the close the market weakened and left off with sellers of May at 3740. While the sllffht firmness In corn influenced a Eimllar feeling in oats, business In the latter was far more active. There were liberal offerings and a good demand for shorts. The cash market for oats was very active and firmer. May opened slightly und- yesterday's closing price, at ZKQ SO'ic, und sold up to 214c. Toward tne close the market declined a shade with wheat and corn. May closed with sellers at 30430?;c, and 3ua4c bid. The provision market again developed considerable strength. The firmness was at first the result of the light run of hops, but was added to later by the reported good volume of the cash trade. Closing prices were near the top figures of the day. Compared with last night. May pork is 10c higher. May lard .12c higher, ana May ribs .05c higher. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 2S cars; corn, 1C5 cars; oats, 173 cars; hogs, 20,00o.
