Movement of Cotton tiood Mow and 1'rlcea Very Low MilU Now llmiuliig on Full Time Higher I'rieea for Woolen In An Ffl'ort to Anticipate the Tali 0 Moderate Jiicreane In the Commercial Death Kate Lxport of Wheat. New York, May 3. liradstreet's says: Tne more conspicuous features of trade are less satisfactory, Including moder ate reactions in prices of etaples, a fall ing off In the volume of transactions In various lines, continued slow collections, and less favorable conditions In the Iron, steel, cotton, and some other Industries. There Is less demand for staple varieties of Iron and steel, makers reporting trouble In securing specifications for contracts on hand. Southern pig-iron has secured lower rail rates to points west of Pittsburg and Huffalo, all of which saving has been given the pur chaser. The outlook is for the shutting down of some furnaces In the Pittsburg district. Sales of wool have declined sharply, but receipts of foreign have brought up the week's movement to a fair total. Nearly a year's supply has been imported during the first four months of this year. The movement of cotton goods is slow and prices are low, buyers purchasing in large lots only where Inducements are offered. Woolen manufacturers are fairly supplied with orders and are inclined to ask an ad vance on new business. The three months' restrictions of output In cotton goods has ended and mills are now run on full time. To Anticipate the Taiitl. The prices movement furnished little basis for special encouragement, the only advance on general recognized con ditions being those of pork and cotton. Higher prices for woolens Is an effort to anticipate the tariff.

Lantern War Kit uat Ion. While the eastern war situation has passed Into a stage which no longer seems dangerous to the stock and money markets, It has been followed by no fpeculatlve revival at London or on the continent. Prices recovered, American stocks with the rest, but there has been no marked Improvement or disposition to buy on the part of foreigners, so that the European Influence on the market has proved a disappointment. The principal Incident of the financial week was the breaking of the bankers' com pact In regard to gold shipments, and the export during the current week of some J6.000.000 specie. This was regarded as unsettling, but at the same time the large specie reserve in the treasury de prives the movement of danger, even though It should, as now seems proba ble, result In the exportation of $20,000, 000 or mere gold. Other factors, such as uncertainty about the tariff or the crops, with the Inactivity of general business, all had their influence, and the week's market has been excessively dull. The fact that Tuesday was a holiday here was also calculated to restrict business on the stock board and to limit transactions to the smaller class of traders. The tone was generally strong, and though the bear traders indulged In some attacks, particulaiiyon Jersey Central and West ern Union, there seemed to be a demand for stocks at all declines and an Indis position t '""til them ehort to a.v great extent.
