At New York yesterday money on call was easy at lzQ- Pr cent.; last loan. l?i; closed offered at WZ per cent. Prime mercantile iaier. 31 iti 4 per cent. Sterling exchange was dull, with actual' business In banker's bills at JI.T'i for demand and $4.Si'4fM.SJ for sixty days; posted rates, .W.i.2 commercial bills, It.SlVa Silver certificates. 62622; bar silver, C2c. Jlexlcan dollars. 4S'ic At London bar silver closed at 2S 7-lGd per ounce. Total sales of stocks were 181.009 shares, including: Chlcagrp Gas Trust receipts, 12.S00; Burlington & Quincy, 1S.G00; Louisville & Nashville, 4.000; New York Central. 4.S00; Northern Pacific preferred. 11.20); Omaha, 7.600; Reading. 6.300; Rock Island, 3.700; St. Paul. 10.000; Western Union, 19.400; New Jersey Central. 13,400; silver certificates, 6,000. Yesterday's trading on New York 'change was marked by a still further diminution In the volume of transactions, the total shares falling below 200,000 shares. Western Union became the leader of the market In point of number or shares sold for the first time In a long period. The salen amounted to almost 2u,ouu shares. The results of the day's trading left the net changes in most of the active stocks narrow, nearly all outside the coalers showing gains. There was an obvious undercurrent of strength in the granger group and others of the Western and Southwestern groups, growing out of the agreement which it is believed will prove efficacious in maintaining rates and etill be within the Law as construed in the transmlssouri decision. A noticeable feature of the market, also, was a resumption of the inquiry for the Vanderbilt stocks, which was interrupted by the break in values caused by the transmissourl decision. The announcement of the arrival In London of Individuals representing large money interests received attention by dealers on the Exchange as a probable influence towards Improvement of prices In the property's which they represent. Northern Pacific preferred was notably affected by this Influence, owing to the belief aroused that conferences in London were tending to further a harmonious control of that roadand the Great Northern. The market was not entirely dominated, however, by these favoring conditions, but still carried the incubus of a depression In the coal stocks and some of the Gould shares, which the bears ought to accentuate. The bear attack on these stocks checked the advance with which the market opened and caused declines of l?i In Western Union. Hi in Manhattan. 14 in New Jersey Central, 1 in Delaware & Hudson and a point each In Consolidated and Chicago Gas. It was rather noticeable that the subsequent improvement In Western Union continued in face of a statement by Russell Sage that if business doe not Improve to a point warranting the usual dividend rate he should favor a reduction for the next quarter. The buying of the Vanderbilts and Northern Pacific preferred checked the decline, and prices were carried to the top prices of the da v. the coalers participating In the Improvement. Northern Pacific rose 2 and Consolidated Gas the same, and gains of a ?5int or more were shown in Omaha. New ork Central. Michigan Central, Sugar (common and preferred), Burlington. Chicago Gas. St. Paul. Rock Island. Louisville Ar Nashville. Manhattan. Lead and Pacific Mall. Lake Shore, which ruled at biO bid at the Outset. Jumped to 167 bid on the execution of orders for 300 shares at 165 and 16;. Fubsequently a decline to 164 bid occurred. Leather preferred declined on unfavorable trade reports, but partially recovered. In the Inactive stocks Minnesota Iron rose 1; and Long Island fell V.. The St. Louis Southwestern stocks and bonds, which showed sharp declines yesterday, received effective support to-day. Spirits gained 3V on reports of a trade agreement and closed with a net gain of 2s;. The close was irregular on account of profit taking, and the coalers lost all their gains, but n.any stocks showed substantia! new Improvements. The bond market continues to exhibit considerable firmness, which was more fullv reflected in the high-class Issue?. The St. Paul mortgages were freely dealt in. at a higher range, with Chicago & Lake Superior division fives gaining 5Vi per cent. Tho Northern Pacific liens responded fractionally to the favorable rumors in circulation regarding the property, and operations In the St. Ixml? Southwestern securities Indicates considerable confidence in the condition cf the property, the first Jumping 34 per cent., to 66. and the seconds 4 per cent., to 20. The sales Were J1.lM.0u0.

VOTE OX Tim TARIFF HILL LO.G SI.CK DISCOL.Ti: OX XHAXGC. The Iron Trade Fear the IlfTeet f Antl-Poollnsr Decision Dun A Co.m nnd Urntlxlreet's Iteports. XKW YORK. April 2.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: The markets arc still waiting, some sarins and others recovering. The vote of the House In favor of a new tariff bill has made no Impression on business, since it has been expected since November that some measure of the same peneral character would become a law. If the bill stands, with Its provision making new duties applicable April 1, chances are that foreign imports and treasury receipts may be for a time considerably restricted. The market for products has been variable and uncertain. Wheat closes a cent lower than last week and the May option has declined 2c and Western receipts for the week have been 2.731,557 bu, against 1.951.205 bu last year, while the Atlantic exports, flour included, have been 2.185.27S bu. against 1.2S0.013 bu last year. The movement of corn continues eo large as to materially affect the demand for wheat. Western receipts having been 1,913,802 bu for the week, against 1.94G.045 bu last year, and Atlantic exports 4,291.629 bu. against 1.005.3 bu last year. Current trade estimates regarding the wheat crop are a little" more favorable, and are somewhat more likely to prove reliable as the advance of the season makes the condition of growing wheat better known. Cotton has not changed In price, although the floods in the Southwest have doubtless done much harm. The cotton and other textile manufacturers are slowly going In business, though print cloths and most staple cottons remain unchanged In price, and restriction of output seems to have given some relief to the market. The buying of wool by mills is still a noteworthy feature, being far In excess of current consumption, but there is a much greater volume of transactions between dealers and at the three chief markets the sales for five weeks having been 63.723.200 pounds. again?t 25.377.67rt in the same week of 1892, when the mills were well employed. Prices are very strong, both here and at London, where the advance since the sale began is from 15 to 20 per cnt., but there are feverish irregularities Indicating that holders are not all of one mind, and some remember that many large mills have taken stocks for a full year's consumption. The Iron and steel Industry has been staggered, so to speak, by the decision of the Supreme Court affecting railroads, since it Is apprehended that purchases not only of rails, but of cars, locomotives and bridge materials may be affected. The demand for rails is still considerable, and one order is pending for lo.ooo tons for Japan, but the reduction in Mesatm ore. with the want of agreement as yet among pr,ducers of hard ores, tends to encourage the belief In lower prices for finished products and so to hinder buying. The great struggle between the ore-producing companies of Mesa ha has not yet so far developed that anybody can feel confident as to the future cost of Iron. Meanwhile, with pig accumulating, although some furnaces have stopped production, the price of Bessemer at Pittsburg Is a shade lower at $10.2. and grey forge at $9. but there are no quotable changes In prices of finished products, although the tone Is rather weak. The npw combination In cut nails only affects selling prftes In Eastern markets. TlrndntreePM Interesting StntiMlrn. NEW YORK. April 2. Bradstreets's report to-morrow will say: The course of general trade shows some Improvement notwithstanding an almost complete stoppage of business In the south Mississippi valley by washouts, overflows and floods. The condition of country roadways throughout the central Western States and the Northwest Is such as to still further delay collections and check demand from Interior merchants. Another drop is recorded In prices of Bessemer pig1 iron and steel billets, and In wheat, flour, coal, coffee and lard, which is in part offset by Increased activity and higher prices for wool and for woolens, for corn, oats, sugar and petroleum. A heavy movement of fertilizers is reported in the South Atlantio States, interest In lumber and shingles has increased on the northwest Pacific coast and Galveston is exporting cattle to Europe direct. The most favorable trade reports are from Northwestern spring wheat States. There are 4.042 business failures in the United States reported by Hradstrcet during the past quarter, compared with 4.152 in the first quarter of 189. a falling off of about 11 per cent. The decrease is reported from all sections except New England and the Territories. The larger number of Eastern state failures are small ones. The total liabilities of those failinr in the New England States are about per cent, smaller during the past quarter than a year ago. Liabilities of all Individuals, firms and corporations which failed, amount to 62,513,u0. a falling of? of IS per cent, from the corresponding total last year. Special reports to IJradstreet from fifty cities with reference to revival in activity in Industrial lines indicate there are at work at those centers probabjy not to exceed 100,000 in excess of the number employed In November last. The increases are largely among employes of manufacturers of woolen goods, shoes, clothing, machinery, engines, agricultural implements, bicycles, carriages, furniture, iron, steel, glass and shipbuilding. Depression still exists among some branches of the woolen goods industry, in coal mining and cotton goods manufactures. Bank clearings for March at eighty-two cities throughout the United States show an increase of 1.8 per cent., compared with March one year ago. the first monthly increase over a corresponding total one year ago since April. 18I'j. The March gain over February this year is 14 per cent., but the decrease from the January total Is K.3 per cent. Compared with March. March this year shows a gain of more than 4 per cent, and with March. 1S94. it is nearly 12 per cent., but compared with March clearings In 1893, two months prior to the outbreak of the panic, last month's total shows a falling off of 22 per cent. The week's clearings, amounting to SJHXJ.COO.Ooo, are !.3 per cent, larger than the total last week. 5 per cent, smaller than that In the week a year ago, 10 per cent, less than in tho liko period of 1S?5, 4 per cent, less than In 1S94 and 13 per cent, less than In the last week of March. 1S?U.

FIRMER WHEAT MARKET

UP.TTER CASH DE3IAXI3 GAVK 3IAY flPTIOXS 1--C ADVAXCK. Both Sentiment nnd Operators) lnorctI the Hull Side or the Market Other Grnln Va Weaker. CHICAGO, April 2. Wheat was firm today, the May option closing at xe'gsc advance. A somewhat better cash demand and crop damage claims were factors in a dull market. Corn went the other way, closing 4 lower. Oats closed a shade lower and provisions unchanged to 10c lower. Opinion as gauged by the early fluctuations in the wheat market was u trifle more favorable to the bull side than at the close of yesterday's session. Liverpool opened without any change, the Northwestern receipts were smaller than they have been running of late and the poor condition of wheat in. Missouri as reported yesterday by the agricultural bureau of the State received somCj confirmation from private testimony. Duluth and Minneapolis receipts were 2S9 cars, compared with 433 the corresponding day of the week before. Chicago received only 9 carloads. May opened at 70-VL'7?;c, against yesterday's closing of 70,2c, and during the first two hours of trading fluctuations ranged from 78c to 7o?ic with July keeping step at 3c per bushel behind the others. Tho inquiry from country millers was more in evidence than it has been for some time. Before 12 o'clock SO.uoo bushels had been sold for prompt shipment, and the most notable feature of the country demand was that it was largely for No. 2 spring and that 40.0u0 bushels goes West to Kansas City. One of tho items of news which helped the bears was the estimate sent from Duluth that stocks there would show an increase lor the week of I. luu.ouO bushels and Minneapolis would only uecrease 2V0,oo0 bushels, wiiicli Indicated a probable increase in the visible or at least a very small decrease-, closing cables teing of a rather mixed character. The market ruled firmer after 12 o'clock and May showed a tendency to Improve faster than July, indicating apprehension of the result among short sellers should the country demand for spot wheat show much further increase in lew of limited available supply. Tho foreign advices were not only unfavorable as regards the ioor outlook for the French crop, but the Russian crop was also said to be unpromising. The. market' had several violent fluctuations In the last hair hoar. May dropping suddenly from 7oo to TO-tfC and recovering again in a lew minutes to 71c. May clostd at 771c and July at 70u70Uc. ' Corn was fairly active and showed its independence of wheat by declining when that market was advancing. The market was strong and somewhat higher during the early hours, helped by light receipts, wet weather all through the corn belt and good exports 504.WJO bushels. Later talk from Illlinois and better offerings and realizing by longs caused a decline. May opened a shade higher at 251i23Vc. sold at 251(c. then declined to 24V" 24, closing easy at 24c. The market in oats was of mucn the samo character as -.orn. although less activity was shown. Prices were firm early, but when com declined oats immediately followed. Fair support developed and some of the decline was recovered. Exports were 12 000 bushels. May opened unchanged at lstfUc, sold between 17c and 17Uc and closed at 173ac. Provisions were very dull. Transactions were small and at long Intervals, with prices on the decline from the start. The weakness must have been for reasons peculiar to the speculative features of the deal, for the usual causes to which the traders ascribe higher or lower prices did not suggest lower prices. At the close May pork was 10c lower, at $.47Vs: May lard unchanged at J4.23, and May ribs 5c lower, at $4.62W7i 4.65.
