The marketing of cattle this week fhows a de-crease f.f about ' compared v.ith last werk ami an increase of 500 over -ii'j same week a year ago. and l.W) over the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are over 2C,fx larger than the same period last year, l'rom the beginning of the week there was a weaker tendency manifested in the market for ail kinds of cattle, but particularly the common to medium and partial-ly-linishd kind. There were evidently more limited orders in the hands of buyers and their independence, together with crnple supflies, was responsible for a sharp reaction in values the early part of the week. Iatcr the market steadied up on the better grades, but there was a continued limited demand for the less desirable cattle throughout the week, and it was very e.tttlcult to rind an outlet at current prices. At the extreme clo.-e of the week there was a further reaction in values at which time the good cattle were selling anywhere from luCi-öe lower than last week, while stockers and feeders suffered 1 decline of 2iibc on account of the continued dry weather and a corresponding falling off In the demand. While most dealers are not expecting any considerable further reduction in prices of choice stock In the near future they du not believe there will be any material improvement, and as soon as grass cattle begin to move they say a good reduction in prices is certain. The highest sales reported this week were J7 for steers, $ for heifers. $5.75 for cows, $5.35 for bulls ana JS.jd for calves. There were very few fresh arrivals to-day and the quality represented was not very satisfactory. Very few of the local killers were in the market, and with the usual quiet Saturday demand from outside source, there was no life in the trading and barely steady prices were realized compared with the way equal kinds sold yesterday.

For the year thus far there is a decrease of nearly 4L.00 indicated compared with the same eriod last year. For the week ending yesterday local packers bought a total of 9.210. against 9.311 the preceding week and 13.D& the same week a year ago. During the same period the shipments were 2.S53, against 4.4;6 the preceding week and 8.332 the corresponding week a year ago. There have been trequent and decided changes In the market this week. The first half of the week there was a gradual decline, and the last half of the week prices were very irregular, being higher on some grades and lower on others. At the extrem close of the week, however, values were 51t 10c hierher than the close of last week and PTil5c higher than the beginning of this week. On Tuesday prices were lojl."c lower than List Saturday, but by Thursday most of that loss had been rerained. A3 indicated in our reports heretofore this week, packers continue on the bear side and follow advances only ns they are forced to by outside competition. The shipping demand has not been cf large enough volume to advance prices. The extreme price of the week was $7.45, which is the hiebest paid in this market since May 24. lSy.l. The scarcity of primo heavy hogs is responsible for a stronger market for that clas than any other, and with a greater discrimination against the less desirable light hogs there has been a gradual widening in the range of prices. At the xtreme cloe of the week there was almost $1 difference between the low prlco for light hogs and the high prico for heavy. The ieceipts to-day were larger than recently at this time In the week, and were a very good average for Saturday markets. 'VJth eome inquiry both from local and outside sources there was fair competition beiween buyers and the opening was characterized by rather active trading at quotably Hteady rrices compared with the way equal kinds sohl yesterday. The extreme X'rlee was 5c lower, and if there was any either difference in the market it was on the good-weight mixed hogs. Roth packt rs and snippers were buying and a satisfactory clearance was made at current prices. Fales ranged from $5.50 to 7.40. and the bulk cf the supply said above $ö.N0.

Thus far the receipts are o.'jmj larger than the same period last year. On account of the very limited supplies there was very little if any change in the market the early part of the week, but a good strong feeling prevailed and when the supplies were lare enough to encourage competition between buyers a gain of about 25c in prices on all good ftock was obtained. The trading was as active as the receipts would admit of and there Is no doubt that a supply twice as large could have been handled at as satisfactory prices. There was quite a break in prices of spring lambs at the close of the week, mit this, of course, is not unexpected at this time. The highest sales recorded were $10 for spring lambs, J'J.W for wool lambs, $5.25 for clipped yearling. $5.0) fcr wool sheep and $!. for clipped sheep. The receipts to-day were as large as expected at this time in the week, and with a steady demand from shippers the trading was active and the suppl was exhausted early at strong prices compared with those current the past few days. Only fair spring lambs sold at $7, yearling lambs as high as $5.55, culls to good wool sheep at $l''y5.50 and clipped sheep as high as $4.0).

INTERSTATE STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOMS, April 26. Cattle -Receipts small; shipments none. The cattle market has been slow and draggy all wojk. The inquiry from local dealers has not been as brisK as it was last week, and prices are lu25c lower than at the close a week ago, 'the decline varying according to weight and quality.

Receipts this week have been a little larger than they were Iait week, but the supply was not sufficient to satisfy all demands. There has been no improvement in quality, the supply running largely to light weights. The average for the week has been 5'yluc under that of last week, but the advances leave values at the close higher than they have been before this year or last. Local packers were the main factors in the week's market, as the Eastern order business was unusually light, due to the high prices locally compared with other markets. Today's market was steady.

QUIET DAY IN STOCKS

c osmi:H.iii.i: stuhngth miowx ix si:vi:kai, important issir.s. Hank Statement Favorable, but Fnrly Gxportn of Gold Are Indicated The Week-Giul Condition. Ni:V YOP.K. April 2?. To-day's stock market was rather quiet and gave very little evidence of the activity of the larye speculative forces which have kept up the animation of the market during the week. The Pennsylvania and the New York Central were the only conspicuous stocks to show sustained strength, with some sympathetic inlluence on the stocks of subsidiary or allied companies. The twelve points rise In Xew York, New Haven & Hartford was sup;osed to have some connection with the strength of the two principal line stocks. There, were sharp advances in a number of Industrials and specialties which had no apparent connection and were not explained by any hew development. The bank statement proved closely in uccord with yesterday's preliminary estimate and was accepted as favorable. Rut the attempt to make realizing sales in the exiectatlon that demand for stocks would be attracted by the statement found a yielding market and prices were carried downward !n many Important stocks to below last night's level. Yesterday's support for the United States Steel stocks was lacking and there stocks were heavy throughout. The grangers seemed somewhat affected by the lirmer tone of the grain markets. There was no sequel to yesterday's late spurt in Southern Railway, and that stock sagged until the close. The closing generally was active and easy. The session of the committee having in hand the attempted settlement of the anthracite miners' demands was a repressive inlluence on speculation, but the tone of the market seemed chiefly due to the disposition of the operators to take a whole holiday instead of half a day, after the considerable activity and excitement of the week. With the period of growth of the winter wheat crop and the approach of the seeding period for corn and spring wheat, the stock market this week has reflected ihc importance attached to the crop prospect as outlining the hopu. of continued prosperity for the whole country. The remarkable hot weather early in th? week and the absence of moisture turned the prices of stocks downwards, and there was no appreciable rallying until the reaction in wheat and reports of rain in the Southwest gave hope or relief from the threatening conditions. The leading speculative interest in the stocK market is very active also in the grain markets, and much manipulation was evident in both, and current rumors were much given to exaggeration. Reports that the coming corn crop was seriously threatened are scarcely warranted when the seed is not even in the ground. During the current year the corn shortage has not materially affected the merchandise movement to the corn region, as the people then? were in prosperous condition for several good previous years. The shortage in corn also led to large marketing of live stock. Rut another poor corn crop could materially affect the earning power of the railroaus. The winter wheat crop undoubtedly has suffered considerable deterioration during the past week. Notwithstanoing the strong inlluence of the grain situation, it is obvious that strong and aggressive speculative forces are still active in the stock market, and they have been alert in shifting trom one point to another and developing strong spots. Confidence in the general railroad situation is fostered by the generally high level of earnings reported and by such special exhibits as the annual report of Lake Shore, with its great surplus earnings over extraordinary expenditures out of earnings for betterments. The details of the great international steamship merger are in evidence, owing to the rapid progress towards the strengthening and consolidation of the transportation facilities, both domestic and international, of the country. The working out of the community of interests in the anthracite carriers Is also in evidence and the week's buying of the Readings has admittedly been in the interest of the great trunk line systems in fourtherance of the policy of division of control of that traffic among them. Lake Shore's report of the acquisition of a large block of Lehigh Valley Is evidence of the same tendency. On the other hand, there was a reminder of the legal obstacles which may be interposed for merger projects in the decision of the Supreme Court to allow the State of Washington to tile suit against the parties to the .Northern becur.tles Company. The? force is seen of the comment by one of the principals that the consolidation of ownership In the Northwest Is assured, whatever may be the decision of the Supreme Court on the present plan of holding the properties. Rut the fact remains that important financial results depend on the success of the present plan of holding these companies, and the question of its validity must remain a weight on the securities market until it is settled. The activity and strength of the stocks of minor railroads In a strong strategic position and available for advantageous absorption by the larger systems, as well as transfer of the control of Louisville &. Nashville, are evidences of the steady tendency towards consolidation in the railroad world. The money market has attracted little attention, as the easy terms offered no check to the speculation. There was undoubtedly heavy liquidation during the early part of the week in the stock market, but the financial projects in view offer no ground for supposition of any important reduction in the volume of credits. In fact, there has been a large expansion of foreign obligations, as shown by the supply of bankers' exchange bills in the market against sterling loans. In spite of this, the course of exchange has been upwards and gold exports are considered probable again. The present extraordinary accumulation of banking reserves in France is a subject of wonder in the financial world. The conjecture that a large Joan to Russia was in contemplation has been overthrown by the authoritative statement that the Russian loan floated in Germany was with the stipulation that no further Russian loan would be offered within a year. The French accumulation is now supposed to be simply duo to a prevalent spirit of distrust by investors due to heavy losses in Russian and other industrials. Il is expected that a satisfactory outcome of to-morrow's elections in France may lead to some outflow of French capital into the channels of investment. Some tentative steps were taken towards securing the admission of American securities to the Paris Rourse or towards the removal of obstacles to the admission of foreign securities there, to which importance is attached. Meantime American capitalists are availing themselves of the abundant resources of the French money market in the carrying out of syndicate projects and the London market is indebted to Paris on a scale probably unprecedented. Speculative and convertible bonds have been very active, moving in sympathy with stocks. United States twos advanced V; per cent, over the closing call of last week.

OoO 50 . 443. lew . 2,V!2.K0 Surplus, increase The banks now hold $0,461,050 in excess of reserve requirements under the 25 per cent, rule. The Financier says: "The official statement of the New York associated banks for last week showed an incrt-ase of $3,325,500 in cash, of which $761,3)0 consisted of specie and $2,563,lK.0 legal tenders. This increase of cash is emly ?S 11,200 below that which was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week, the estimated sum being $4,136,7'. In the previous wfeek there? was a difference between the estimated and th official gain of $1.173.90, the latter being $Mi0,110, while the former was $2,031,000. This wide difference, it Mas then believed, indicated that the statement was made on the rising averages, which belief, it now appears, was most likely correct. Therefore, it would seem that the bank returns of last week retlected actual conditions as regards cash more closely than has usually been the case. Loans were decreased $l.Oi7.30O, making $13,!20,300 since April 12, inclusive, during which period stock transactions were in large volume. The requirements of stock commission houses have been largely met with offerings from country banks, chiefly at the West, who have freely loaned the balances with their New York correspondents, so that the Stock Kxchange borrowers have been able to obtain all the money they need elsewhere than In local bank and trust companies. The deposits were increased last week $1,772.40. The statement Is, therefore, out of harmony, the gain In cash less the loss in loans calling for an increHse in deposits of 52.22i.2J0. The required reserve was augmented by $143,100, which amount deducted from the gain in cash of $3,323.500, leaves $2,SS2,400 as the increase in surplus reserve. This Item now stands at $0.461,050, against $li.750,773 at the corresponding date last year. The cash changes by individual banks were comparatively small during the week." l'niVATE AVI RR ADVICES. Rather n Dullish Feeling Early, tnt Some Lnte Liquidation. Meyer & Riser's Telegram. 1 NEW YORK, April 2C.-During the first half of the session the market was comparatively inactive anel there was little or none of the manipulation which has been so in evidence for some time. Rather a bullish feeling was cremated, owing to the strength of New York Central and Pennsylvania, beith of which stocks were bought in fairly large volume by commission houses. A block of 10,0 shares of Pennsylvania was taken by a broker supposed to represent Vanderbilt Interests. Monon was active, and strong, being favorably affected by the story that the property was to be acquired in the interests of the L. & N. The exhibit made by the bank statement was decidedly favorable, the surplus reserve showing an increase of over $2,00,O. As was expected, there was a moderate decrease in loans and the gain in cash amounteel to about JJ,3o0.0i, which was about a million dollars more than the estimate made by the Financial Chronicle. As is often the case when the bank statement makes a favorable exhibit, considerable liquidation ensued, more especially in Union Pacific and in the Readings. The selling of Union Pacific was ascribeel partly to the upward movement which took place in the wheat market. The market closed rather below the best figures of the day, but sentiment in the street still continues to favor higher prices. The damage to wires was considerable and commissionhouse business was light on this account. 1 Strom? Market Is Looked For. Granger Farwell & Co.'s Telegram.! NEW YORK, April 20. The market is being adroitly led and the short day, with its good bank statement, was favorable for a strong market on Monday. The demand is turning again to the best stocks, like New York Central and Pennsylvania. With all fear of a mine, strike removed, there should be good business next week. To the .Dandelion.

NEWS FAVORS THE BULLS

GRAIN PRICKS MOVE STEADILY TO j A HIGHER l'L.Wi:. Tradln Is Shifted to July Options, "Which Show Good Cinins Provisions Also Are Higher. CHICAGO. April 2. Wheat experienced a normal reaction from yesterday's bad slump and with numerous bullish factors behind it lent of its strength to other grains. Trade was not heavy, but July wheat closed "c higher, corn, higher, oats, UÖvaC higher. Treivislons gained 121 -c to 17 ic. Deficiency of moisture in Kansas and almost freezing temperature In many parts of the wheat belt were enough to start u-hMi linn-.irds nt a uoed pace at the opening of trade. To augment the strength cables were lirmer than had been expected and receipts, both primary and NorthwestCm, were small. Inasmuch as the shortage in receipts has been apparent for some time and comparisons have been made against a short crop ye-ar. the bears became discouraged again and shorts covered freely. Excepting rain?, every argument was in favor of the bulls. Traders were of opinion that it takes something more than a rain or two to make a harvest. After the initial upward impulse trade was quiet for a time, prices iluctuating weakly. Concerning Kansas Rradstreet had a special report, saying a three-fourths yield at the best, and 60 per cent, probable, was to be expected. Weather forecasts had a bad effect. Frosts were predicted In many of the Western States, and in Just the places where warmth is most necessary. Then came the report of st-aboard clearances of SlO.eoO bu exceptionally large- and of a fair outlook for export business with France. Prices worked up. trade became more active and the greater part of yesterday's loss was regalneu. juiy opened tic to Ue higher at 75-V.i 757c to 73li''"c, a'dvanced to 16c and closed tirm, ;c up, at 7JV't76,.ic. Local receipts were 33 cars, none of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 153, a total of P0, against 143 last week and ZU a year ago. Australian shipments were only 152.000 bu. against 570,1) last year. Primary receipts were 213 03 bu, compared with 4 45, (ah) last year. Rrokers in corn reported the lightest trade in that pit for Saturday in many weeks. One explanation was the bad wireservice, on account of the storm, which almost shut off outside trade. Another cause was the hard jolt speculatrs received yesterday and which they had hardly got over to-day. What argument there was favored the bulls. Wheat strength and firm cables aide! In an early upturn, but prices haggled very narrowly most of the session. S;oculative offerings were light and there was little selling pressure. The cash demand was goI and the Southwest was very bullish. St. Louis rep.irted good cash sales and more desired than- could be obtained. In general corn was without feature save its strength. July sold between OfHc and 63120. and closed firm, Ue "P. at 03:t4c. Receipts were 04 cars. After a firm opening in oats, in sympathy with strength in the other pits, there was 1 1 ' J . . . Al... a- momentary selling irtysure uue w me recent heavy rains and their effects on the sown oats. When this pressure was removed there was some response to a light demand and prices advanced. July (new standard) sold between 371 ic and 37sic and 3714c, closed hrm. 4f1c up at 37-?a1i37ic. Receipts were 130 cars. Trade in provisions was largely local, because of poor wire service. At the start the grain improvement and a steady hog market induced buying, which (even as hog prices weakened) continued to improve'. There was a momentary disposition to sell on the hog situation, but a very good packers' support developed a stronr market. Pork was in best demand, but lard also was wanted. Trale in general was dull. July pork closed 17c higher at $17.05; lard. 12 :C up at $10.0714, and ribs, 12-c higher at $0.47. Estimated receipts for Mondoy: Wheat, 25 cars; corn, 125 cars; oats, 2t-5 cars; hogs, 35.000 head. leading futures ranged as follows:
