Yesterday's New York stock market was distinguished by intense dullness throughout almost the whole of the session, during all of which prices were very firmly held, so that the lively demand in a few stocks to cover just at the close carried them substantially above Thursday night's close. Doubtless a part of this buying was in anticipation of a covering movement which may develop ot to-day's short session of the exchange, in view of Monday being a holiday, thus leaving an interval of two days before trading shall be resumed. The dullness of the trading is an indication of underlying strength, as there were some unfavorable factors to hamper a rise, and holders preferred to hold with confidence. The principal factor in the dullness was the unfavorable effect on the whole tone of the speculation, but the official announcement of the Baltimore & Ohio receivers that there would be a default in the interest payments on some of the bonds coming due on June 1. This action has been anticipated for several days, and the company's securities have sold down accordingly. But the effect was none the less marked both here and on the London market for Americans, which were entirely neglected. Some of the selling here for London account was due to the same cause. The sales of all stocks footed up a total of only 170,000 shares. There was no positive weakness in the market, but the weight of semistagnation prevented values from benefiting IT am several favorable Influences. One of these was the continued weakness of the exchange market, which, though somewhat firmer, failed to recover sufficiently to induce the expected further shipments of gold by to-day’s steamer. But the imports of dry goods at this port for the week show an increase over last week in value of over $200,000, indicating that the import movement is again expanding with an influence necessarily on exchange. Chicago Gas the leader of the market in the volume of transactions, was quite strong on renewed hope of benefits from the Illinois Legislature, and rose l~ s above in the final dealings. There was a marked disposition to cover in the anthracite coal stocks, thus eliminating what has been a persistent element of weakness in recent markets. The strength manifested by the grangers, a rise in Sugar and the firmness of the Gould shares were other influences that helped to carry prices very generally above Thursday night's level at the close .and to leave substantial net gains In a few storks.

C., C. & St. L. fell 1 5 / on the decreased earnings, and rallied only ; ;s- Baltimore & Ohio rallied slightly from the depression, more than recovering an early decline. Railway bonds were relatively more active than share values, and more decided tendenev was evident towards a higher plane. Fractional gains were noted in the speculative issues except for the Texas & Pacific seconds, which exceptionally gained a joint. American Spirit sixes were marked by a decline of 2% per cent., with a subsequent recovery of 2 per cent. Severe losses were also recorded ;n a few other inactive lines. The sales were $1,195,000. Government bonds showed ±n improved tendency, with the old fours gaining slightly. The sales were $5,000. The following: table, prepared by L. W.

Transfers, 12 consideiation $7,755 SPRING TRADE RESULTS * VOLUME FELL BELOW EXPECTATION'S IN MOST BRANCHES. Few Favorable Features in the Business Revival—lleports of linnlstreet and Dun & Cos. NEW YORK, May 2S.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say; People are actually doing more business than they realize. They reckon by values, but these are much lower than in any previous year of prosperity and leave little margin for profits. In quantity there is almost as much business being done as in the years of greatest prosperity, and though the increase in population would call for a material expansion the comparison is not discouraging. The recovery is slow, hesitating and gradual, hut more has been done on the whole in May than in April, while returns of April showed the volume of business only 10 per cent, smaller than that of the best year heretofore. Yet hesitation is doing its work every week, and multitudes are waiting because of possibilities at Washington. Manufacturers have especial causes of delay owing to the possible competition with foreign goods largely imported. but there has been no setback in prices, although cotton goods are dull, without large demand, and print cloths are at the bottom. It is evident that production far beyond the consuming demand has forced the industry into a waiting attitude. Distribution of all dry goods is at present retarded also by cooler weather than is usual at this season. The woolen mills are producing more than they have done for years, though much less than they could or would like to produce, and manufacturers are doing almost nothing in the wool market. Speculation has kept sales large—in four weeks o f May 28.805.500 pounds, against 20,1a9,350 in the corresponding weeks of 1892 There is some weakness observable with Western holders and Eastern prices begin to feel the weight of enormous imports. The iron manufacture gains in spite of the closing of some furnaces. The production of pig iron exceeds consumption and is somewhat decreasing, while the consumption has gradually gained this week, in part several structural contracts, including 7,000 tons for this city alone and in part because of the agricultural implement works having made larger demands, and also because of the proposed leasing of nearly all the rod mills in the country, which has caused some buying. Pig iron shows no change in price, but it is noteworthy that an advance of 25 cents in the British price of American pig is considered a relief as lessening the urgency to Southern pig in Northern markets. Cotton ties at 50 cents per bundle have quite shut out foreign competition. Tin and copper are stronger, hut tin-plate makers have agreed on an advance, and yet the best grade sells as before, at $3.30, against $3.80 for the foreign. Failures for the week have been 214 in the United States, the smallest in any week since September. 1895. against 239 last year, and twenty-two in Canada, against twenty last year. Brmlstreet's Weekly Report. Rradstreet’s to-morrow will say: Results of the spring trade in staples, which is now over, are disappointing. The volume of seasonable merchandise distributed is less than expected, without taking into account an improvement in business, compared with a year ago. Nearly all central Western and Southern trade centers report business very quiet. Dry goods continue depressed, cotton products selling with difficulty, some varieties only on concessions. The announcement of reduced or passed cotton mill dividends, and that several large establishments will shut down to enable consumption to overtake production, which, coupled with comparative indifference of consumers to the lowest prices on record for iron and steel, would appear sufficiently to characterize the actual condition of general trade. Among twenty of the more important sta de products, only two. hides and wheat, have advanced, while one-half the number, cotton, lumber, coai, Bessemer pig iron, steel billets, steel rails, print cloths, sugar, pork and coffee, are unchanged, although there is a nominal advance in the asking price for Bessemer pig and steel billets. Exports of wheat, flour Included as wheat, from both coasts of the United States and Montreal this week amount to 2.081.326 bushels, compared with 2,655.000 bushels last week. 2.064.000 bushels In the week a year ago, 2,426,000 bushels in the week two years ago. 2,401,000 bushels three years ago. and 3.253,000 bushels in the like week of 1893. Exports of Indian corn also show a falling off. amounting to 2.185,933 bushels this week, against 3,190,000 bushels last week. 1,72'.000 bushels in the week a year ago, 1,040.000 bushels two years ago, 812.(100 bushels three years ago. and 1,090,000 bushels in the like week of 1893. There were 257 business failures throughout the United States this week, a moderate increase compared with the total of corresponding periods in preceding years. The aggregate last week was 248. compared with 227 in the fourth week of May a year ago, 183 in the like week of 1895, a similar total in 1894. and 2’ J in 1893. There were twenty failures in Cu.aula, against twenty-live last week.

WHEAT CLOSED LOWER WEAK CASH MARKETS RESPONSIBLE FOR A DECLINE OF 1-4 C. Corn Held Its Own with n Heavy Market and Provisions Firmed Up, Closing Higher. CHICAGO, May 28.—Wheat, after a moment or two of firmness at the beginning of the session, turned weak and so continued nearly all through the session. It closed, however, at only a Vic decline. Wdak cash markets and prospects for a big crop were mainly responsible for the weakness. Corn was heavy, but closed unchanged. Oats managed’ to advance Vsc, and provisions closed 'lWabc higher. In wheat, the Liverpool market was inclined to firmness at first, notwithstanding the previous day's weakness here. The price of July on that account was higher at the opening, first sales of that option being front 69*40 to 69*20, yesterday’s closing price being 69*ic. It was generally remarked that if for no other reason than the fact of four consecutive days’ decline there should be some improvement. While an advance frequently happens under such circumstances, this morning's conditions did not favor the rule. Against the opening firmness at Liverpool was the absence of anything unfavorable to the growing crop, and although the signal service officials came out with a prediction that frost was probable to-night in six of the wheatraising- States, the confidence in a big crop was undisturbed. In a little more than an hour from the opening July had sold down to 68%®68*,feC. Bulls got very little comfort out of the Northwest receipts. Minneapolis and Duluth reported a total of 427 cars, against 478 cars a year ago and 377 the corresponding day of the year before. Chicago received seven carloads and inspected out 68,000 bushels. Liverpool, which, in course of the day, showed *4d advance over yesterday’s closing price, stood at Vad decline at the close to-day. Paris was from 15 centimes higher for near-by delivery to 10 centimes for September and December. In anticipation of early deliveries of new wheat, all winter wheat markets where that grade was still bringing extravagant premiums over spring wheat, reduced those premiums considerably, so much so that it had a marked effect on speculation in futures. The Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 360,066 bushels. The market gave no Indications of mending until about an hour from the close, when covering by shorts became qube liberal. July sold as low as 68V4@68%c before the reaction commenced, which had dropped back to 69c about fifteen minutes from the close. The latest trading was at Corn was quiet and weak most ot the day, influenced most by the large receipts of 965 cars, and even larger estimates tor to-morrow. Elevator selling was not so heavy yesterday. Shorts covered quite freely throughout, and the slight decline was ultimately recovered. July opened a shade higher, at 23%©.23%c, declined to 23%c, and recovered to 23%c,. where it closed. . _ Trading in oats was slow. At the opening there was some weakness, caused by the large receipts of 460 cars. Shorts covered, this being about all the business being done. Country offers were not so large. July opened a shade lower, at 17%(aL*/ 2 c, and advanced to 17%c. That was the closing price. , , . ~ „ Provisions showed surprising steadiness in view of the heavy receipts and weakness of hogs. These factors had a slight effect at the opening, but there was a general inclination to cover, and by the close a slitrht advance had been scored all round.

Delay is Dangerous Few persons live to middle age without learning by experience the truth of this old adage. In nothing has it been proved more disastrously than in the disposition of estates. A man or woman shrinks from making a will—puts it off and death comes. Then the law steps in and makes a division which may be entirely different from what the owner of the property desired. Persons who were to be provided for get nothing, and perhaps a solemn duty has been negelected. All sorts of contingencies may occur. Distress and privation may come to those who were fully provided for In the mind of the dead man. It is unwise for any one to put off this important duty. Make your will now and arrange your affairs as you wish, and when you name your executor let it be THE UNION TRUST GO. a corporation authorized by law to perform that function, and which will neither die, run away nor abandon the trust. Its affairs mpst be examined by the State twice a year, and are always open to of-1 tlcial inspection.
