Iieirolt 13, Denver It and Omaha Other than ths weather there were no untoward events to Interfere with construction. The demand everywhere for buildings of all kinds was never stronger and as a consequence rents are high and the proa pert a are that they will go higher. Good demand at high prices stimulates construction. During the recent pleasant weatliVr there has been a revival of activity with every reason, to believe that while the season may not continue to show the enormous heavy gains established from time to time recently It will be a busy one. Cincinnati archllecta during the past few weeks have expressed the opinion that building operations durlryt this season would not be aa great aa sCihe same period last year on account of the advanced cost of material in practically all lines.

Already quite a number of Jobs have been shelved indifinttely, because of bids being too high. Herman Weasel, whoa realty transaction was mentioned In Thi Ekujc-ikbr yesterday, on Friday leased quarters in the Anderson Building, on the east side of Main, north of Sixth street, for five years at I1.2IIO per annum. Another business lease wss reported yes-J terday. the building at 105 East Peart street, at one time the Cincinnati headquarters for the Standard Oil Company. being taken by Oliver, Wright 4 Rainey for several years.

STUART Gives Out a Statement ('onrrrniiig the Status and Flans the Burley Tobaero Growers' Association.

Archibald Stuart. President of the lOn-lul ky and Ohio Burley Tobacco Urowers' Company. yeecerJay gave out the following self-explanatory statement: "My attention has been called fo an article dated Islington. April 3. in which it is said that some of the tobacco growers In the burley district who subscrlpc-d to the fund to oraranlze the K.

and O. Tobacco Growers' Company are clamoring to get their money back, since the company failed of Its purpose, but that the officers of the company. It is said, refuse tuccede to the demands on the grounds that the company Is still in existence, and that the money will be kept for future work. I'pon first Impression, after reading the article, my Intention was to pay no attention to It, as It evidently Is prompted 'by some oneAwho la not a heavy subscriber, nor laboring In our interests, bui. thinking, possibly, that tv, per silence might be misconstrued, it la proper to say no such arrangement was ever made.

"As soon as we have something of a promising and practical nature to suggest on 18UJ5, a meeting of the stockholders will be called, and all we have done, are doing or propose to do will be submitted."

10 tss siurists. New York. April According to the known movement of money ln thejweek the local banks have lost over lo.u In iheir cash noidlngs owing to the Urge excess of payments to the Subtreaaury above Government payments to tfle banks and to the active demand for funds from the Interior. The high rates for money suggest the probability uf a material contraction in the caan item ln the weekly bank statement, and unless there has been a large reduction ln loans the reserve above legal requirements doubtless will snow a big falling off as compared with a week ago. The money question la the chief tuple of discussion In Wall street at present and it is likely to remain the most lmjrtant factor in the financial community for a number of weeks to come, aa there is no reason to believe that there will be an Immediate return of normal conditions.

Exchange Is at the point which. doubtless will result in go.d shipments to this country, it Is quite probable that a considerable movement of the metal this way' will be Inaugurated next week, and In some circles Il Is thought that upward of SlO.UoV.UUO will be engaged uniess there should be a sudden cnange In exchange raues and foreign discounts. That an Inquiry for go.d for American account already has developed In lon-doii Is reflected in the advance ln the price of bar gold al that center and In a slightly firmer open market rate for discounts. Closing of coniracts.ln the Iron irade are being delayed on account of the uncertainly over the coal situation, l.ess activity Is reported in foundry grades In the East, although Inquiries are heavy despite the hlgner prices demanded by furnaces. The position of the copper metal Is strong, with indications pointing towsrd continued firmness In prices and possibly higher quotations.

All of the leading producers have sold their copper as'far ahead as July, and It Is asserted that no considerable amount of spot copper can be had at any price. Foreign consumers are buying more freely. Lairge buyers of printed goods are in the dry goods market, and. uccording to their views there is little prospect of concessions In prices. The general trend in tne dry-goods market Is toward further firmness on an increasing volume of business.

First hands agree that the crltfcal period for the tnuie has passed Htic. and that there wKl be a moderate volume of reordering In mall lots. The market has been further strengthened by' the- announcement that fruit of rjie loom goods are held ut value preliminary to art advance. SEASONABLE WEATHER Has Acted aa Great Stimulus To Many lines of Trade. New York.

April 0 Dispatches to R. G. Dun Sc Co. Indicate that seafenable weath er has become general throughout the coun try. sttmulaTlng most staple lines, particu larly retail dry goods, millinery and other wearing apparel.

Millinery houses at Phila delphia report increased demand aa tiie weather Improved. Iron and sieel plants are busy, but 'new business is delayed by the coal uncertainty. In good de mand at Pittsburg, and March business in dry goods exceeded any previous year, but current retail trade Is affected by the coal Ituation. 1 I Bad condition of country roads has af fpcted trade In the St. l.ouis district.

Chi cago reporls a better demand ln leading lines of wearing apparel, and household merchandise and construction work is un usually heavy. Retail trade at Cleveland has Improved with favorable weather. -Cincinnati reports wholesale dry goods, trade fairly aatrsfac lory. Bank exchange, this week at all leading cities In the I'nited States are i.inrJ.iCVt.- -So. an increase of 3.7 per cent over the corresponding week last year.

The' general Interest taken in the bill Introduced by Thomas Cairns, Liberal, representing Newcastle 011-Tyne, providing for the removal of the restrictions of Canadian cattle, was demonstrated to-day by the unusually Urge attendance ln the House of Commons for a Friday, which is 'the day that members introduce private bills.

Mr. Cairns, who Is a ship owner, in moving the second reading of the bill, laid stress on the Injury to shipping interests arising from the embargo on Canadian store cattle, and criticised th present act as being protective and as violating the -elementary principles of free trade, contending that the removal of the restrictions would not affect the value of Irish cattle. The members who opposed the bill based their objections on the risk of the re-Introdnctlon Into Great Britain o( the foot-and-mouth disease and of the preference which the bill gav Canada over the rest of the world. William O'Brien. Nationalist member for Cork Cit said that if the restrictions were removed It would render at least 3isj.tioo holdings ln Ireland absolutely unprofitable and would destroy the Irish cattle trade.

Premier Campbell-Bannermsn wound ur the discussion, saying he had always opposed the statutory bar against Canadian cattle. Finally th bill was talked out without a division. CBOP CONDITIONS Equal To Thos at Tiis Season in Banner Tear, 1901. New Tork. April 6.

Lessened speculative activity, particularly In' stock market directions, is reflected In the grand aggregate of March clearings, which, however, still exceeds that of March a year ago, and is, therefore.

April 6. The Black Diamond, official newspaper of the coal industry, reviewing the Western coal markets, to-morrow will say: "Owing to the strike on Mondsy In practically all of the' bituminous mines In the central and southwestern bituminous fields, the market on bituminous product Is in more or less doubt, and is largely regulated by the amount of coal offered for sale by the Individual shipping company and the urgency with which it must be had by the consumer. As a matter of fact, prlres generally on coal from the territory effected are no higher than they were a week ago. while ln some instances tey have been lower, ln one or two instances demurrage product has been offered In the Chicago maraet. and considerable concessions have oeen made by the selling company to move It and avoid additional demurrage charges.

"There is no distress on th part of any of' the railroads, nor Is there any intimation that any will foliow for some time to come. Large steam plants are not demanding cos and where spot product hss been offered them during the. week they have refused to purchase In many Instances on th ground thst they hsdfall they required and their storage facilities will not permit them to take In additional tonnage, because they do not have the room. It looks today ss if the speculative feature of thy situation had been largely eliminated for the time being. Shipping companies are not inclined to buy coal at high figures against the future demand, and generally express the opinion that the market will continue on about the present basis throughout April.

There Is no one who thinks thst It will gn much higher." VALLEY TRADE With South American Ports Object of Hew Organization. New Orleans.

Hogs Averaged tht Hight ia Three Years atd Sheep Eeit For Thia Year. MlUL E-ursTt TO TSS ssoTiase, April There has been feeble ton to the steer market all week, brought about by th ilanding of nearly i oum head here on MoMUy and over 2U.OUU head on Tuesday, while supplies on oter daye were comparatively liberal.

It was not possible for th trad to absorb these big supplies without serious Injury to pricey, and the range now stands lower than late last week, or toe lowest In several weeks. Local coolers are filled to overflowing, while th Kasleru dressed beef markets are said to be heavily slocked, with consumptive demand poorer than ususl. owing to the warm spring weather. Eastern shippers operated less freely than for some time, owing partly' to the coal strike and partly on account of Uie depressed condition of th big markets In th East, while exporters did a smaller amount of business because of the lower foreign markets. A supply of el.iuu head for the week proved the second heaviest one of Th year and showed an increase of C.lJ head over the week and head more than the corresponding week one year ago.

receipts were unequslly distributed, vet It Is doubtful if th lower trend of prices could hivj bten checked even had the runs been more equally spread throughout the week- The excessive supplies are accounted for by f.ie fact that feeders are anxious to liquidate before entering Actively In the spring. I'nless there Is a marked falling off in supplies there Is small hcpe fur any improvement In prices for the medium to good classes of steers. SOMB FANCY HEKCPORDS. Included In the receipts this week was a fancy lot of branded Kansas-fed Hereford beeves whlcn reached Sd 35, many-other loads of very choice to extra choice steers brought J'VuU 'Ji, while the bulk' of fairly good to choice grades went at upward to 00, such as sold higher than To being of an extra class. A liberal supply of plain snd common light steers for slaughter landed at 4 and down to $4.

A good demand for good to choice stockers and feeders prevailed all week, with prices for such grades holding steady with one week ago, but commoner and medium klmls went slowly at HJAilSc decline. Selected steers were taken out as high as 14 Mi. snd very choice kinds went al $4 To. while the bulk of medium to good classes went at ft upward to ft 40. only a poor class of feeders having to go us low us f'-t To.

As prices for cows and heifer, recently hsve been out of line with pUln snd medium kinds of Steers, it was a caee of either lower values for the former or a hlgner range for the latter stock. The cow. and heifer market wys the one to suffer, prices being carried I'oiioilr under Mondjy, and the bulk uf medium to tholce grades sold at uo4i4 i-'-V only offerings 01 an extra class reaching f4 fX upward to 44 Bulls declined and such as brought Htf $4 15 were of a rholnce to prime class. Receipts of calves have been the heaviest of the year, and prices dropped UC4l from Tuesday, and. while choice "fancy lots landed at 10 most, fairly good to choice kinds brought to IMpti uu.

HOUS HIGHEST lK THRtt rtABI. On Tuesday hogs averaged the highest since May, l'JWi, the average cost being u. while prime butchers reached $il ClVj, and the bulk of selling waa at Xti Ou-d 00. Since then, the trend of price has been downward, and at no time were sellers able to apply thei brakes, as receipts were too liberal and sh.pping demand failed to Increase correspond ngly. Compared with the above hlgn day, the averuge cost now shows 17c decline and Is Tic under one wek ago, yet 7Hc sbove one year ago.

The bulk of hogs sold at Sot? $0 4ii recently, with prime heavy butchers landing at Id 43. improved country roads and an anxiety to market hogs before getting into spring work was responsible for owners landing 141.IMI hogs ht re this week, hich run shows an Increase of h.ta.l over the previous week and more than one year ago. An unusually- small portion of sheep and yearlings and a brisk demand from local buyers and exporters alike! this week rendered the sale of these classes at the best prices of the year and higher than one week ago. Fancy wethers reached Id and prime heavy native ewes went at (d 75. or oc higher than best lambs brought, and many- strlnsjs of good yearlings went at 2u, with most wethers at SiagO 25 and several bands of ewes at V5 tjO 15.

I POLITICAL GOSSIP. 1 I X. A meeting of the Hamilton County Heifao- crattc Executive Committee has been call. for this afternoon st 3 o'clock at the Duckworth Club, by Chslrmsn Nobel.

The meeting Is for the purpoe of selfctlng a member of the Deputy 8tste Board: of Sup ervisors of Elections, which Is lf effect the old Board of Elections. The notices to attend the meeting were mailed) to the members Thursday night. The hut tie for the coveted position this afternoon will be a three-cornered one. and the friends of sll three candidates are claiming victory. The situation became complicated yesterday when the candidacy of Joseph Rothwss announced and with lt the statement thai he had the support of th municipal administration.

Alfred lien deraon. newspaper man, had been the favorite of the administration up' to yes terday, when he announced that he wss not a candidate. Then the Roth banner was flung to i the breeses. The mere statement that Mr. Roth Is a receptive candidate changed the political map, which the members of the Democratic Executive Committee ponder over.

His brother. Chsrles Roth, has Just, been elected County Treasurer, and assumes his office next September. Several of. the Executive, are applicant, for positions under him. Mr.

Roth also has the support of Mayor Dempsey. In spesklng of the matter yesterday the Mayor said; "There la; no such thing as an administration candidate In the sense of the administration trying to dictate the: election of a man to the place. 1 should hsve been glad to have had Mr. Henderson elected to the position; but he declined: to be a candidate. I believe that Mr.

Roth would make a splendid member of the board in control of the elections in this county, and would certslnly vote for him if a member of the Beyond this the Mayor wi ild not discuss the mat ter.

McDevItt has the positive support of l.ew's G. Bernard and Chairman Nobel, of the Executive and the opinion last night was that the battle will be between Roth and McDevitt.

The friends of the latter claimed that he had 1i votes pledged, snd that he could depend upon that many. The friends of Roth claim that he has 22 pledged to him. As thers sre only 38 rotes In the body It will be seen thst some sort of a mlsunderstsndlng exists. Thomas J. Noctor.

the member of the Executive Committee from the: Twelfth Ward, Is fn charge of the fight: to elect Roth, and will direct the movements of the Roth adherents at to-Uay's meeting. It was prophesied yesterday by men of wide experience in politics thst the vote to-day will be i very close and that whoever wins will be elected by a narrow margin. The eudden determination of Chairman Nobel, of the Democratic Executive Com mittee, and Chairman Krug. of the Repub lican Executive Committee, to call meet Ings was owing to letters received from Secretary of State Laylln Thursday. Ia these letters Mr.

Layiin requested that he be notified not lster than the 15th of the month of the selection of each committee for poet lion on the Deputy Stat: Board of Election Supervisors. Notice were mailed to all on embers, and those who did not re ceive them yesterdsy will receive them this morning. In a i letter replying; te Mayor Tom L. Johnson's recent communication. Mayor Dempsey yesterday declared that he no desire to be a United States Senator.

The letter Is- aa follows-: .1 "Both of your favors of th 3d and 4th Inst, were duly received by me. together with the newspaper cUpping, inclosed.

I have finished three months of th Mayoralty and arq praying; that th next 21 months may slip through aa quickly and as successfully ss the last three, when I will be glad to get myself back to the practice of the law. a profession that I more congenial to me than the arts of statesmanship. 1 1 'l am ln no flght of any kind sthatsoever for the control of th Dernocratid party or Democratic policies of Ohio, and do not propose to be dragged Into any such fight.
