Fluctuations In Silver the Sensation of the Week on 'Chansr Local 3Iarketa Satisfactory. , -4At New York Saturday money was steady at 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 2H4li Pr cent.

At London bar eilver closed uncertain at 2S?id an ounce. Imports of specie for the week were $20,326 i-o!d and 124.257 silver. ' The exports of specie for the week aggregated $336,144. of which JlS2,C was silver and 154.094 gold. The New. York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus reserve, increase .$1,343,775 Ixians. decrease 5S3.3')') Specie, decrease 54S.OnO 2egal tenders, increase 1.305.700 r posits, decrease &"H.30D Circulation, decrease 71,300 The banks now hold J25.5CI.S75 in excess of the requirements of the 25 per cent. rule. The New York Financier says: "The New .York banks are still accumulating idle reserves, the total surplus account according to the current exhibit footing up $25,521,675. The factors which were prominent In the previous statement are still in evidence. There has been a further decrease in loans, the loss of $555,300 being much less, however, than "reported for the week ending April 22. Tjeposits have fallen off $$i,300, and as cash Increased over one million, the surplus expanded $1,343,773. In a way the statement Is much better than had been looked for. Known operations for the week with the tubtreasury resulted in a loss of more than three and a half millions to the banks, and tis more than offsets the estimated gain Irorn the interior. As It transpires, however, the bank averages disclose a better ending forthe week. It is immaterial whether the ' actual condition of the clearing institutions ta reflected in these averages, since the tendency In money affairs is favoring a continued flow of funds to this center, and in a broad sense gains are to be expected from :thia time on. Whatever money the banks lost to the subtreasury during the past few days will probably be very much more than recovered through Interest disbursements and other payments beginning May 1. Of more interest than the bank averages is the condition of the exchange market, which is working toward a high level, with the probabilities of a still further advance. The quotation is now very near the exporting point, but that gold will flow outward U regarded as extremely doubtful by interests in a position to know. Money rates abroad do not encourage such a supposition, but it will be recognized that fluctuations in our domestic rates will react sensitlvely on exchange quotations. Despite the rise in exchange, which on th surface m 'Indicates a liquidation of trade balances, the facts go to show that Europe is still a debtor to the United States, and future operations leading to a transfer of gold will mean something entirely different from the causes which set Into motion these forces in the past." , The total sales of stocks Saturday , amounted to 25r.Mft shares, including: Amer5JlSt?cl and Wire, 11.

The New York stock market was heavy Saturday cractically all day, and. while a number of partial recessions appeared, the general railway lists suffered only fractionally, btocks affected by the bill taxing corporation franchise in this State suffered the most. Metropolitan lost over Ave points, Brooklyn Transit and Consolidated Gas nearly four.

The traders were early sellers, in expectation of a bad bank statement, but lynCOKered wen 11 aPPed. showing small changes, the reserve increasing one and one-third million dollars and loans decreasing about a half million. The absence or commission business and weakness of local stocks caused the market to ease off again, closing weak. London was a purchaser of a moderate amount of stock. Among the strong spots were Canadian Pacific and Colorado Fuel, which advanced 4 and 3, respectively. Practically all the Industrials were weak. THE WEEK'S RECORD. Stocks gravitated to a lower level during the week end dealings were diminished from outside demand and such advances as did occur were mostly in active stocks. March rent receipts for many rallrotds, covering a period of unfavorable weather conditions, generally thowed results below expectations. The gross weekly returns appearing for April on the other hand exhibited an Increase In traffic. The seeming desire of the Filipinos for a cessation of hostilities was accompanied with little doubt in the speculative mind that an ultimate favorable tuuciuEion wouici De readied within a reasonable time. At the same time no apprehension attended th possibility of a diplomatic strain with Germany owing to the wide publicity given the remarks of United btates naval ofuccra as regards the situation in Samoa and the Incidents attending the opiaUons CI tn naval forces at Manila. The money market wa variable, with increased strength late in the week in anticipation of many dividends and interest requirements and the necessity of financing the Amalgamated Copper Company and ether industrials next week. Sterling exchange r as strong la reflection of London's ales cf American stocks, particularly Anaconda mining. The Spanish indemnity is yet to be arranged for. so most authorities believe but exports of gold are not anticipated, while call money rules in New York at about double the London figure unless England should return to America other large) holdings of American stocks. The tank clearings decreased compared with last week, reflecting tne fact that speculation in stocks diminished to little over 3.0) -tva shares during the week, but the general LuMnesa of the country continued Urge and trade reports recorded no check to the expansion in business acilvtty. Silver certlficatet. after a long perk-1 of comparative in activity, rose 6 centi. and clod only 1 cent lower. The price attained for tne white metal wan the highest in over two years ant tn? certificate traded In represented 3T,4.0oO ounce. The trading in jucenda mining, which made a net rise ot

1214, only 4 points below the best, reached nearly 200.000 shares. The strength in this stock was associated with the announcement of the Incorporation of the new copper trust, which was to embrace this company. If the trading in Anaconda, together with the "jrreen" industrials and local stocks be subtracted from the total it will be seen the trading was very narrow and that the standard shares were much neglected. Crop uncertainties, together with the decrease of $117,000 in Burlington" surplus earnings for March. left the grangers fractionally lower. The professional element is largely bearish on certain stocks, which have experienced an unusual rise while the rank and file are generally disposed to hold tenaciously to their stocks on the belief the present market Is but a halt, and that bullish enthusiasm will arouse stocks from their lethargy- If bountiful crops be assured. For the week the Iron and SWl shares were Irregular to the extent of a point or so. Important changes', not hitherto mentioned, are: Advances, Third Avenue. 10; Canadian Pacific. &rS: Minneapolis & St. Louis. 5; Minneapolis & St. Lnuls second preferred, 4Vi. Declines. Metropolitan, 8'i: Tobacco, 4i; Manhattan. 4H. and Delaware & Hudson and Brooklyn Union fours. 3. Operations in bonds during the week were large and many of the medium-rriced issues made handsome advances. The fact that several States have laws impending or enacted permitting savings banks to Invest in certain high-class railway bonds, has tended to enhance the value of such mortgages. Speculation generally, too. was stroi; and confident. The absence of real stringency In the money market forced the employment of Idle funds into mortgages, which return a fair rate of interest. United States twos, regular, advanced Vi: the new fours, registered, 4, and new fours, coupon and th thiees. registered, in the bid price. The old fours, coupon, declined .

Banker Clews, of New York, in reviewing the situation in Wall street last week, says: "The bears have done their best to break confidence In prices, but their success has been very partial, and holders have shown their ability to protect their holdings. This strength is the more noteworthy because the earnings of the railroads have had some disadvantage in comparison with the extraordinarily large receipts at the same date, of last year. In making such comparisons, however, it must not be overlooked that the earnings must include a much larger proportion of the high-class freight than a year ago. The unprecedented activity in our industries has caused an increased movement in the high-rated merchandise which cannot but tell favorably on the net earnings. The remarkable business activity must also have materially increased the passenger traffic, which Is one of the most profitable branches of railroad operations. It is, therefore, likely that, when the net earnings of the first three or four months of the yar come to be exniblted, they may show larger profits than have been counted upon. "The prospects of the grain crops are watched witn much interest, but remain an uncertain problem. Tne wneat crop has undoubtedly suffered severely from winterkilling, but exactly to what extent it is still too early to estimate. In the spring wheat sections the weather conditions are for the most part favorable, but no estimate can yet be ventured as to Its acreage. Tne current price of wheat and the posiollities of a large falling off in the supply from the winter crop are undoubtedly favorable to an increase in the spring sowing, but at the moment this is conjectural. This uncertainty as to the wheat crop is the chief element adverse to the stock market, but operators do not yet seem to have made up their mind to accept tne worst probabilities of the outcome. Uhe money market is no longer an obstacle to speculative business. Money on call is in good supply at moderate rates, and there is no expectation of a change for the next few months. Taking the situation in Wall street as a whole, it la to be regarded as a hopeful one. There is nothing in sight calculated to suggest misgivings. Speculative accounts are perhaps quite generally in a condition conservative enough to make the bears cautious, and the unusual business prosperity is viewed as suggesting an upward rather tnan a reactionary course of prices. "One very Important element, however. Impends over the mantel which as yet has received no serious attention. 1 refer to the further consequences of the war in the Direction of trade expansion. This is a very largo and vital question. At first It attracts comparatively little open attention. To the masses of our people it is something foreign to their experience. To some, including a lew statesmen of prominence, it seems an unwarrantable intrusion upon the past policy of our government. 1j all it Is confessedly a question with many sides and calling for Information. But it is nevertheless a matter In which all classes feel a deep Interest an Interest so deep that men prefer to do some thinking and investigating before they reach an affirmative conclusion. For this reason the question may be regarded as being Just now in its silent and brooding stuge. It may be safely assumed, however, that a policy aiming only Incidentally at the acquisition of territory and directly and permanently at a great expansion of our toreign trade and at the same time at a future better protection of our external interests must appeal very effectively to the national sense of self-interest and to the patriotic pride of our people. With the large patriotic mass of the American public this new development cannot fall to receive an encouraging reception, and that favorable prepossession can only gain In strength in proiortion as this promised commercial expansion comes to be, understood In Its full length and breadth. Public opinion has yet to give a fslr hearing to the minority opposed to the change. "The class who follow party policies through thick and thin are watting to see where the question will stand In political platform, and more still are reserving their

conclusions until congressional- discussion has thrown Its uncertain light upon the question. But while pending this formative stage of opinion the subject may appear to be surrounded with some uncertainty, men who understand the Influences that go furthest In the shaping ofjopular sentiment can have little doubt that a policy which appeals so directly to the passion for national greatness and prosperity will finally bring a large majority of our people to the . support of the policy of commercial and industrial expansion. In proportion as the public moves towards this conclusion the men of finance will come to gradually anticipate the approach of an era of national expansion with which ' nothing in our history can compare: and as that prospect becomes clearer confidence will increase and American investments- will become more valuable. The spectacle of national greatness then presented will infuse new confidence into new world enterprise, and nothing can prevent our marching on toward an era of national greatness unparalleled In the history of mankind. This prospect may.comc within sight of realization enrlier than many slow-moving observers are anticipating. We are within comparatively few months of the time when our future policy in these matters must be finally determined by the action of the administration and of Congress. There are men who would give a fortune for the prevision that would enable them to forecast the final shaping of this great issue: and with a little more clearness in the prospect they will begin to take anticipatory ventures on the probabilities of this situation. For this, however, we must wait, but It will be wise to, keep a sharp lookout upon this factor in the march of events."

Trade of April Satisfactory and Few Changes in Values. Very seldom Is there a month In which so much business was transacted and with as few changes in values as that of April. In all lines there was considerable activity and the steady tone to prices enabled wholesale men to realize profits. Staple groceries, not excepting sugar, were strong in tone during the entire month and no changes. In dry goods there were two advances In cottcn goods, but in other lines steadiness was the feature. Hog products, leather and hides ruled steady, although leather and provisions are firmer at the close of April than in the early part of the month. Hardware and Iron are very firm, but no advances were established. On Commis sion-row fruits and vegetables sold high. Arples and oranges are scarce, as well as potatoes, onions and cabbage. Poultry, eggs and butter through the month ruled some higher than in April. IS??, and are still firm at quotations on an active demand. Few young chickens are yet on the market. The local grain market in April was disappointing, receipts falling short of expectations, due to several causes. The month closed with track bids, as reported by the secretary of the Board cf Trade, ruling as follows: Wheat No. 2 red. 714c: No. 3 red, 664704c; April. 714c; wagen wheat, 70c.
