May 1, 189!. f Rivera i RuMARKH The past week has been rrr or less a holiday one, and a good deal of attention was paid to the festivities attend. . 3 Merchants' May week and the entertain yt-.'t of guests Still, however, business was ri ,, altogether lo6t sight of, esjiecially in the jobbing trades, which have shown some little activity, owing to the visits of a larger number r f,p.v buyers combining business with pleasure, e . s wholesale jobbers drove quite a brisk trade joel in this respect. Merchants report a more business than was experienced in ,„erioui celebrations. Other than this the r ,. ko t was devoid of any new or interesting f: ires Values have manifested some steadi Tf ff. notwithstanding the reaction in grain and fysistuffs, which have declined consid ,.hly at controlling centers. The money m arkat is somewhat stringent, while the de r-sni continues as active as ever. Domestic f rchange remains Arm and foreign dull and eak. The security market is quite inactive, jrh.le securities are offered freely enough. Col lections are not to say very active, but fair, and merchants are more disposed to believe, how ,ter. that the outlook is satisfactory. The lumber trade continues good, while foreign orders are still coming in liberally. The follow, jog resume of the week’s business will show the lone and the latest quotations of the different markets at the closing hour to-day: Naval Stores -There was a slight increase in the receipts, which was reflected in the eas ing off of prices of spirits of turpentine during ,i, e week There was a fairly steady inquiry, hut the condition of the money market caused most holders to offer stocks freely at the current prices, and a good busi ness resulted. The market closes firm st Ss**e for regulars. The total sales none some 4,000 casks. Rosin—The market was fairly firm during the week, and prices of the lower grades were advanced slightly. The demand was quite good, although the offerings were rather moderate, which, of course, re stricted trading somewhat. The total sales were fully 8,800 barrels. In saother column will be found a comparative table of receipts and ex port f t the past three days and for a like period list year, showing the stock on hand and on chipboard not cleared, together with tne official closing quotations. Ottos The market was steadier during the week, and prices recovered slightly. The de maud, however, did not prove very active and buyers manifested some little indifference, while on the other hand holders seem to act and feel as though their interest was in no immedi ate danger, and hold on to stocks with some display of steadiness. Although the market closed quiet prices are I-lfic higher all around since last week's report. The total sales for the week were only 1,875 bales. The regular morning and evening calls at the exchange have been discontinued for the remainder of the season, go that the daily quotations from now on wiil he confined to the one call at midday. The fol lowing are the official spot quotations of the Cotton Exchange: Good middling 9** Middling 8 8-18 Low middling 7 9 16 Good ordinary 7 Ordinary 6** Sen Islands— The receipts by factors tor the week up to 4 p. m. were 257 bags and 85 bags of throurh cotton.

Rice -The market was more or less dull during the week, and prices were slightly easier. The demand was rather slow and indifferent. Holders except in rare cases, are not anxious to part with stocks on the present basis, which, of course. limits transactions.

The stock market to day displayed a con tinuance of yesterday’s strength in the fore noon, but the further heavy engagements of gold for export met the tide at its heigtit, and selling orders were put on the market by tne bears, which checked not only the advance in prices, but activity in business. The selection of Missouri Pacific was made a; the stock to bear the brunt of the attack, and the asset ! ins that Gould himself was responsible for the or ders, had its effect in checking a rampant bullish feeling for the time being. This inci dent fairly did away with the excellent ini pression which the refusal of the governors of the Bank of England to advance their rate of discount had made, but it was a notable fact that b.-fore the execution of the orders men tioned there was dullness and a return to the stubborn strength which has become so marked a characteristic of the market of late. In dustrials were prominent in the market this morning, and fairly disputed tho leader-hip of St. Paul and Rock Island, each of which was very strong, the former being under complete control of a clique which is steidily advancin t it. and both were purchased largely for western account. In industrials both Cordage and Sugar made marked gains, but the remainder of the market was content with small advances. Gold shipment and selling of Missouri Pacific, however, took all of the strength out of tue market, and Missouri Pacific lost 2 pere nt .; while Cordage lost not only its early advance, but a large fraction in addition High rates for money did much to prevent a rally, but some appreciation did take place late in the day, but It made little progr-ss, and the market finally closed quiet and rather heavy at close to lowest figures of the day. Late trading was marked also hy special weakness in Grangers, and the net declines in all of them were brought up to material amounts. The changes for the day are small in most stocks, with majority of losses. The sales were 857,000 snares of listed and 40.000 shares of unlisted The following were the closing quotations of the New York Stock Exchange: Ala.class A, 2t05.103 N.O.Pa’flclst mort 90*4 Ala.class B. ss. ..103*4 N.

May 1. ihe grain markets were all strong and higher around the opening this morning. Early cables showed firm aud higher markets abroad. Deliveries on May contracts for wheat were about 1,000,000 bushels, which went into strong hands, presumably for ship ment. Deliveries of corn were next to nothing, only 5,030 bushels, and the cash article was firm and 2 cents higher. Receipts at Duluth and Minneapol s were very large, some 400 carloads, and over 1,600,009 bushels were delivered on May contracts. When* made a sudden little spurt at the opening, and the advantage which it gained.in the first five minutes was not lost dur ing the’session. The crowd of scaliiers kept playing for a reaction, but it did not come. In stead of this it held steady to firm, and scalpers were finally obliged to buy grain back at an ad vance July wheat opened at 81 ojjs 2 ®l 06, agaiust 81 05 at the close yesterday, sold up to gl 06 14. reacted to $1 06, advanced to gl 07%, r acted to 81 06)4 and closed firm In significant deliveries, firm cables, premium for cash and buying by shorts gave corn a strong tone at the outset. Opening sales of July were made at 83@68)4c, against 61®63)*0. at the close yesterday, and sold up to 64)$c. At tin.- point Bryant unloaded a consid erable line of property, the cash market weak ened and estimated receipts for to morrow were heavy. The result was a break to 6i3*c; the market improved later, and the close was at 6 '!%c. tteporta of lice in the oata crop gave the marxet for that cereal consider able strength, and Bt. Imu is bought freely. Trading was active until the latter part of the session, when the market was rather quiet. Heavy receipts alone encourage boars. There were no deliveries on May contracts. Opening at 48c, for July, against 47)4c at the close yesterday, it aold as hign as 49c and closed 4*c below ibat figure The provision market was fairly active, with offerings light.
