Friday's stock market was decidedly more quiet and orderly than on any olher day during the week. There were a few stocks which showed positive strength practically without interruption all day. and there were no points of acute weakness nor any period of a general disposition to sell ex cent for the ortenintr din In A mnVo m r, Copper and American Smelting, due to the legal measures taken to frustrate the ab sorption of other properties contemplated by those comnanlps.

The onus were not aggressive, but their tac tics seemed desluned rather to nrntppt th market and hold prices firm. There was some confusion about the board room owing to the preparations for the moving, and this in itself had the effect of lessening the trading. The principal strength in the maruet persisted in about the same quar tors as for some time past, namely, the grangers and Parities.

The spec ulation has been decidedly nervous at times, owintf to the sharp breaks in prices of some of the most active stocks. The failure of the Kcneral market on Wednesday to re spond to the phenomenal strength anl continued demand for Fnion Pacific espe cially caused uneasiness and a dread lest the powerful pools of millionaires, who have been credited with the leadership of the bull market, had been selling their holdings under eovr of the movement Mi Union Pacific to take their profits, but th? buying on recessions, was so constantly retiew d and the market's absorptive power proved so enormous and so confident that the dedre to ell was checked ami prices ti.rmd upward, with the result that bear operators, who had sold short early In tl: week, were drlen to cover and their urgent demand helped prices on the rebound. The principal cause of the occasional dis nuittude in the market was the fear of 1m 1 airmeut f money-market resources, which Plight restrict the liberal credits, which are the fostering cause of the continued sper ulatUe buying. When It became known that subscriptions cre invited In New York to the new Is-oie of British consols and wte being leciived on n large scale. iMid when announcements were made of M-ld exports, the feur was engendercil that the Inroads upon banking reserves thus threatened would before Ions force bank ers to call loans In order to protect their surplus. Thre was. in fact, some calling ot loans by the banks early in the week. which was offset hv large offerings on ac count of interior banking institutions. These crlerings might either be th; cause or the effect of the calling of loans by New York banks. The higher money rate is the at traction for interior banks to lend money n the Stock Exchange, but they draw on their New York deiosits for the funds. T.he oans thus placed may be redeposited in a New York bmk. but the effect is to neces sitate a shifting of loans, which has a dis turbing effect. The falling off in the oner- ngs or nonds for redemption at tne sun- treasury and in the payments by that in stitution on account of pensions resulted ia t renewed absorption by it of money irorn the market and was an additional factor in the disposition of caution. The call money rate eased off In the course of the week, however, and quieted any apprehension on that score. The demand for railroad bonds has been most marked in securities of the same companies whose stocks have been promi nent in the dealings, notably union i-acmc.

Brads-treet's, to morrow, will ?ay: Vhile adversely affected by unfavorable weather conditions, general trade manifests a strong underlying tone which, seemingly, lacks only the advent of better weather to become buoyant. Cold weather undoubtedly has affected planting and germinating in some sections, but the probable damage to crops is not as great as earlier advices uppeared to indicate. In pome directions activity Is pronounced, as, for example, in iron and steel. In which, apparently, xroduct!on is taxed to Its ca pacity, though, seemingly, more to meet existing requirements than because of new order?. The backward spring has worked to the disadvantage of dry goods, but the trade is looking up somewhat, with the promise of Improved weather conditions. Heavy clearings continue to reflect large speculative movement. Railway gross earn ings continue to show substantial gains, the current receipts of the Southwestern lines belngr the best in their history, and Western and Southern roads are doing al most as well. The general price situation is one of firmness, most commodities being unchanged, though there are a few in creases noticed, particularly in coffee, flour, wheat, corn, oats, lard and tin, while butter, cheese, petroleum and odd sizes of cloths show declines. Speculation In wheat, this week, was active, and the price move ment was upward. A stiffening of prices is noted in lumber. with a demand fully up to the suddIv. From Portland, Ore., conies the report that the if.gging camps are taxed to supply orders The market in cotton has been of a nar row and irregular character, and the gen eral disposition seems to be a waiting one. Keceipts continue In goodly proportion, wnno weatner conditions nave recently im proved, and the demand from m-inufac- turers is limited. Wool is steady, with few natures or cnange. Buyers show a dlsposl iion to wait until new wools come in. Leather shows more activity on well-sus tained prices, and stocks of certain kind.? are practicallly nil. Kail business in boots and shoes of the better grades is reported uivorauie and prices are said to be steadv Wheat shipments, including: Hour, for din week aggregate 4.2S2.1S9 bu. against 5.306.21.7 last weeK an J.tww in the corresponding weeK tn i;iu. Iun "c Cu.'s Review of Trade. In sum mlng up general conditions, notes that bus iness is very brisk for the season, in face ot some drawbacks, which at times nii-bt cause marke! hesitation. Chief of theso Is the iloods in many directions which h.m interferred with railroad operations and In terrupted the distribution of inereh -indite and the weather all over the East has been adverse to an increase of retail trade Bank clearings, however, show that, while speculation has been h'vivy, there must have been a well-sustained volume of lei tiniate business, for the gains are over 14.1 per cent, over I9oo, nnd IS. 9 per cent over iv.o, outside isew l ork. and 103.0 per cent, over 1900. and M.O per cent over 1.VO nt this city. Railroad earnings make similar encouraging gains. Reports from the Interior show special strength in con oitions throughout Missouri. Kansas and Ohio, and the future is full of promise, un less there is misfortune with the crops. Much unfavorable comment has appeared regarding the advance in steel rails to ?2X Yet the change is only in keeping with recent Increases in prices of piif iron an billets. Nominal quotations for many prod ucts of Iron and steel have Ion-; been dis regarded in contracts calling for early do livery, and list prices are generally moving up to a representative level. On new bus iness or export orders it is not unreason able to make prices for rails on a parity with otmr products of tnls industry. Aside from this one operation, there is no new development. Pig Iron Is more quiet, with little taken for delivery beyond July 1.

To-day's grain mar kets were moderately active and tirm. wheat closing Kc, corn ic to THc and oat? He higher. Provisions closed easier. May wheat opened "Sc to higher, at 73 li73"Sc, under a rush of buying orders oc casioned by a sharp advance at Liverpool and the good cash business done yesterday. Trade for an hour was well distributed, and prices changed but little. Later the lib erality of receipts and slackness of the cash demand created weakness, which was intensified by the unloading of a long: lino of half a million. May in this wise was forced back to 724c. Buyers, influenced somewhat by rumors of sales taken by Ger man interests, regained confidence later, and the market reacted, closing firm, with May e higher, at 73c. Exporters reported. U loads taken. Seaboard clearances la wheat and flour were equal to 1G3.000 bu; primary receipts were 35S.0U0 bu, compared with 246.0KU last year. Minneapolis and Du- luth reported 22l ears, against 275 last week and 207 a year ago. Local receipts werft 3U cars, none of contract grade.

Corn started without any abatement oi nrevions prdfement. with buvers and sell ers for May delivery simultaneously trad ing, from 4Sc to 4SV2C. These figures cov ered practically the day's range of this cption, although a moment after the open ing a sale was made at 4bc. jrouowms this spurt the market for May was left very much to itself. Light receipts and higher cables, however, held prices steady. The bull leader was not active in May, but devoted considerable attention to July, which seems to be working towaru tn center of the stage. This option sold be- Its hts-hest orice so far. and closed WiYzC over yesterday, at 45(D Aic. iteceipts were y cars, one oi cuuuaci grade. Th. r"om:iml fnr oats was active. OWing lO a good demand for shipments and to wide spread reports of delayed seeding. May sold between 2ünc ana -.vc, closing w hlrhir at "CUp.
