DEMAND 8TEADY FROM WEAVERS AND KNITTERS, pcttuetlly tpnptfftp the time being and have sufficient sup plies on hand now to carry them for a month or more. The larger manufactur ers are now In the market and the orders which they are placing have helped mate rially to steady prices which, during the past week, were decidedly Irregular. The differences noted on the part of some weavers Is gradually passing awn;~ as they have found selling agents mud firmer In their Ideas than they expected. The concessions granted in some quarters hart been used as a bear argument to force selling agents to make concessions, btit whero the sellers And that their spin nlng mills are fairly well covered for' n month or two they aro refusing to name any lower prices. The smaller spinning mills are still ac cepting orders at slight concessions, but these orders are for small lots only, and the deliveries range from June practically through to December. Knitting yams are uown, ure louiui 10 niuuuiii 10 very nine. Within the past Week or ten days sales have been made In the market nmountln; to fully 2.000.000 pounds of weaving am knitting yarns. Print Cloths Continue Firm. While no very large sales of regulars, narrow goods or wide print cloth yarn con struction goods were made yesterday, the market remained firm, and on forward de livery goods the fractional concessions obtain- granted lost week are no longer able. On regulars the full 4 9-16 cents now demanded Is the lowest quotations that sellers will make for delivery through to July. On ' 28-Inch 64x60'' prices range from 4 7-16 to 494 cents, according to the terms of delivery.

But the general feeling u that the crops will turn out all rlfbt. it Is not daliqed that the bank meat is n mirror of tbe money corn! In Sew York, and yet the publication of the report usually has nn Influence on the prices In the stock market. Without a showing on the part of tbe trust companies. It Is Impossible to arrive at any compre hensive idea of the monetary situation here. operations lu the leaders of the market —Reading and Unlou Pacific—are said “ be for the purpose of establishing a g< range of prices In ease tho crop report, which will appear on Friday, doea not come up to expectations and causes liqui dation. The rt of the Pennsylvania rallraaL burg. It Is estimated, will cost this cor poration about $9,000,000 annually; the cost of the Increase In the dividend rate, from 6 to 7 per cent, la approximately $3,000,000. On the New York Central, tho Increase In dividends from 5 to 6 per cent, makes a difference of about $1,780,000 yearly, whereas tbfe advance In wages Is about four times that amount. Tne wage In crease on the railroads In the country at large easily Is $50,000,000 annually, and yet •ome railroad directors hare expressed sur prise at the criticisms directed nt them bo- cause they hare put up dividend rates. While tne production of gold goes on without any curtailment In the volume, tlio demand for It on the part of tho banking Interests of tho different nations, with the exception of the United Stntea, amounts to nothing less thnn a scramble. Internation al money markets are easier, but money condition! are not clearly defined. Large copper Interests say thero Is small hope for a reduction In the price of the metal this year, and that the gloomy prog nofdlcntlons made by many of the wise acres have no basis In fact.

Town Topics: Though the general opinion Is that thero will be little doing in tho market until tho government crop report Friday, It would not surprise us If thorn would bt a abarp rally In ndvanco thereof due to short covering and Inside buying. Except In Delaware and Hudson there haa been little long stock coming out. and the short Interest Is again considerably ex tended. We do not see any reason for ■M)i >>f pesflinlstle *<-»JJment during the past week and r..undent that the majority of standard stocks. If bought on the recessions today, will return handsome profits before very long. Atchison will continue strong In nntlel pntlon of Friday's dividend and the Hlu and Ilnrrlmnn stock, S't. Paul. Rending and Smelters should act particularly well. We would wnlt for somo further reactloc before buying cotton or wheat again: though, in our opinion, the trend Is still upward.
