Total sales of stocks Saturday aggregated 133.115 shares. An active business was done on the Stock Exchange during the two hours trading and was well distributed throughout the district There was some London selling at the opening in St. Paul. Louisville & Nashville and Atchison, the latter giving way only !s. but the others receding . In the early dealings speculation was weak and a fractional decline took place. The depression was of brief duration and prices soon took an upward turn under the leadership of Chicago Gas, which, after a decline of sold up 3U on covering of shorts. Distilling was bought on the advice of President Greenhut, of the trust, who asserttel that the recent decision against the trust Is of great importance. The Improvement in the rest of the list was merely fractional. Toward 11 o'clock the upward tendency was checked by the inauguration of a selling movement In Chicago Gas, which was based on fears that the Attorney-general of Illinois will decide against the company In the quo warranto proceedings. Before the bottom was reacheu the stock had declined 2 per cent, with only, a rally of 'ic at the close. The break in Chicago Gas had the effect of weakening the entire market, and the general tendency was downward up to 12 o'clock. Some of the specialties meanwhile made material advances, but in the main the market was heavy at the close. Compared with the closing figures of Friday, prices were Irregular. The changes, however, are very narrow, the declines being within a fraction, while only in one case was there an advance over a fraction. Susquehanna & Western preferred, showing a gain of IV. Chicago Gas down 7s and the grangers VSu. General Electrls Lead preferred and P.. C. C. & St. L. preferred are v higher. The heaviness of speculations in the late dealings was rather unexpected in view of the good bank statements which, especially by the Increase in loans, showed a revival in trade. The stock market has. in the main, moved upward as a result of the week's transactions. notwithstanding that the later trading cut off some earlier advances. Soma few shares bhow losses, including I., K. &. W. preferred, 24: Chicago Gas, General Electric, Distilling, Burlington & Quincy, U, and St Paul.

Henry Clews says concerning operations In Wall street last week: "During the iist week business at the Stock Exchange has een lntluence-d to some extent by realizing transactions. Stocks bought in anticipation of the veto of the Bland bill have been sol,! out, by both home and London holders; and, in the absence of any new stimulus, some of the large operators have been waiting for prices to droop previous to buying in again. There has been the more readiness to take this course because Congress had to take action upon the President's veto, and it was not unanimously regarded as entirely certain that the bill would fail to become law through a two-thirds vote. Discouragement in some quarters has arisen also from the growing conviction that the tariff discussion is likely to be prolonged until near the end of May, which may have the effect of keeping certain branches of business for the fall trade In suspense, and therefore act unfavorably upon some mercantile interests. One fuvorable indication from Washington is that nothing further is likely to be seriously attempted in the way of urging free coinage upon Congress. Senator Stewart's bill is regarded as likely to be shelved in committer or allow-ed to r-t on the table, and it seems possible that the silver thirty may deem It Imprudent to Incur further elium by wasting tinve on measures which the President will not allow to become law. Should Mr. Bland carry rut his threat to Intrivtuee si free coinage bill, it is likely to be dealt with very summarily, as the House Is anxious to get at other business. 'Nevertheless, the enitinuel silver crusade has a silently unsettling effect ujon confidence. There can be no doubt that. In the West, tvuthwest and South, the fueling in favor of Increase! issues of silver is gaining ground rather than aUitimr; and. unless something Is done u mollify that feellnc. It may later on assume more threatening dimensions. Among two-thirds of thi Inflationist class. however, the demand meana more money rather than more silver. They are asking for more silver because, in demanding that expressly they have the influential backing of the mining interest roper. But at the same time, they would e equally willing to accept some other form of currency instead, providing It were placed within their reach. It Is. therefore, of the utmost importance that Con;res should, during the present session, pass a till authorizing issue of hasiK curreturv.

upon a a?ls of guarantee which, while absolutely scure, would yet not b oppressive or prohibitory of Issues, capable of expansion according to the requirements of business, and available to thp State banks m the same term3 as to the national. , Such a plan Is now ready for introduction ; to the House, and there is a probability ; of its being not only supported by party leaders, but also favored by the admlnistra- . tion. The passage of such a measure, '

though not at the moment needed for currency necessities, would yet have the effect of getting the constantly disturbing money question out of the way, and which Is even still more lmtortant al.o of depriving the silver agitators of two-thirds of thMr tirr.n) snr.rxirf. anil finallv of reTTlOVi injr this dangerous issue from the field of olltics. "While thj immediate course of the market probably suggests discrimination in buying, still the distant future is brightening. A more hopeful spirit pervades business circles, and as soon as general trade resumes) normal activity railroad earnings must Improve. Thus far net earnings have been sustained only by the strictest economies, ani in this respect at least the depression has proved a timely lesson to railroad managers. The advance In wheat will create a. letter feeling in the Northwest, because the damage by the late coll snap was not serious, and is not likely to e-ause any material shortage. The advance in silver is also calculated to lessen the gloomy spirits of the West. When Congress settles the tariff question, business will unquestionably experience a sharp revival, but this longed-for result is still about two months distant at the earliest. Meanwhile, the market will have its setbacks, but they will not be serious, and in the long run prices must advance." Saturday' Ilnnk Clearing;. At New York: Clearings, ?74.744.i:S; balances.

LOCAL GIIA1.V AND l'HODL'CE. Trnde of the Week. Disappointing, with Few Important ClinnfreM. Wholesale men spak of the trade of the first week in April as having fallen below expectations. The weather has been unfavorable to spring business. Retail merchants In all lines are not disposed to stock up ahead, baing confident that prices, if they do not go lower, will not advance any. Hog products are still on the decline and selling much lower than in April, 1S93. In staple groceries prices carry a steady tone, but thera are no indications of any marked advances in the near future. Dry good in nearly all Hne3 are easy In tone, and concessions, even em the present low prices, are made to sell good bills. Eggs are steady, shippers paying about 7 cents per dozen. Poultry and butter are both weak at flotations. Irish potatoes, oranges and bananas are all hither than a week ago. Onions and cabbage are easier. Strawberries are arriving more freely and are lower. New tomatoes are still in. light supply, with prices so high that the demand is light. The local grain market was more active yesterday; bidding on corn spirited.

REACTION IN WHEAT

Follows Report of Better Prospects for the Coiiiinr Crop. Loss of 1 1-3 on the Day in the Leadin; Cereal, with a Decline in CornProvisions a Trifle Firmer. CHICAGO, April 7. It was a weather market In wheat, with variegated crop reports thrown in. The majority of the crop reports received to-day made quite light of crop damage and the trade gave ear to that version of the story. The feeling was heavy, and while trade was light, there was less timidity shown by short sellers. At the close May wheat showed a oss of about lUc. The spread between May and July is now lUc Corn was weak and left off with a loss for the day of 4c. Oats were firm for near deliveries and weak for the more deferred. Provisions were In the main tjulte firm. After the close of the regular session of the board yesterday, wheat on the curb was very' weak, but sentiment had turned again to the bull side before trading was resumed. May sold privately yesterday as low as C3c, but the trading at the opening in the pit was at C4l4c with some little as high as C4c. The market kept steady at 6lUc for a time, but there was some nervousness on the part of the longs as the sellers appeared to be acting with much confidence. There were light rains in northeastern Kansas, with an indication of those spreading, and a majority of the crop reports which came in were inclined to minimize the amount of the damage done by the freeze. Foreign news was not encouraging, lnasnuch as the great recent strength of the market here had only caused about Id advance at Liverpool. From Frankfort, Ky., the reports were that the damage was being greatly magnified, and a dispatch from a farmer who works an extensive area near Louisville was that there was no damage of any extent Missouri wired that it was raining there to-day, that the wheat prospects were fine, other reports irom many widely scattered loca ities were in a similar strain, and the market ruled weak in consequence. An attempt to sell 300.000 bushels by George Baldwin resulted in a drop from 64V4c to 63'c in less than two minutes. As soon as the last ten thousand bushels of the lot referred to were old, and the crowd saw there was no more to follow, the price dropped again to CS'.sc. After that and up to the close, business was dull, but the tendency continued to be toward a lower level. There was another drop which carried the price off to CVhc, followed by Cl'c, followed by a reaction to C3:;-sC, and the latest transactions were at that pric. There were more sellers than buyers at that as the bell tapped. Corn opened V1ilAc lower than it closed yesterday and in the course of the day declined 2c more, and closed at a loss of 3c. Receipts were not heavy to-day and still lighter are expected for Monday. Trade in the pit was light, without any prominent transactions on either side of the market. While only a limited amount of business was transacted in oats the market remained firm. The cause of this strength is probably due to the effect of the crop reports which have brought in a great many buying orders. May closed at an advance of c over yesterday's latest quotation. Trading in provisions was without spirit, and of moderate volume. Prices were firm at the opening, but were followed by a period of weakness induced by free offerings of lard by Catlln, White and others. On an attempt to buy at the slight decline occasioned by the selling of lard the market ruled firmer and prices advanced beyond yesterday's closing prices and rested with a slight advance. Compared with last night May lard Is .02'c higher and May ribs .07lsc higher. Estimated receipts for Monday are: Wheat, 50 cars; corn. 195 cars; oats, 120 cars; hogs, 32,000 head.
