Conditions of the Speculative Market Are the Accredited Cause, Upward Movement in Wheat, Cotton Beef, Oil, of General Trade Maintained. YOKK, April G.

Dun A -weekly review of trade ijays: "In every speculative department business is crowing, but this Is really tho satisfactory feature of tlio situation. Cotton, oil and wheat climb above thu export price, so that the marketing of products abroad must be cheeked and mouey fsaDsorboJ which ought to be employed ip productive industry and In distribution of products to consumers. Thn Woom In OH. "Everybody knows that oil has not risen 200 per cent, because It Is intrinsically more valuable, nor Is wheat actually worth more It was two orthroo weeks ago, but the expensive and uplllrlnt; force has unfortunately takon to speculation rather than to production, and so wo havu higher prices in all speculative markets without a larger demand for consumption. Stories of combinations between tho Standard Oil company and Russia, as to partition of tho oil consumhiR territory, by no means nccounc for recent prices petroleum, vrhlch appear to be entirely fictitious.

Adrance In Cotton. "There is no evidence ttat cotton Is In larger demand than It was when the price was a cout lower, bui prices have boon so low for months that an upward movement was easy without muoh reason, though, stocks here and abroad are 300.000 bales larger thau they were at the samo date after the greatest crop ever produced heretofore, and spinners here and abroad have taken about 1,000,000 bales more than they have consumed. Tho rise tends to prevent the decrease of acreage which Is its one reasonable excuse, Upward Movement In Wheat. "Wheat has advanced over three cents during the past weolt. There is no indication that the foreign demand will Increase, while tho prospects for this year's crop are considered excellent.

Western receipts are not largo, and it would be strange if they wore, with prices so low, but advancing. Exports continue to indicate that the European demand will not be particularly heavy this season. Uootl unit -Boots and shoos are In larger demand, although tho jobbers have to pay 10 uouts or more adovo tho prices paid two and there are more orders than when vanoe in prices -was tlrst demanded. Except from tho west, there aro Indications of a larger-consuming demand, but on tlio whole the market Is perceptibly narrowed by the advance which hlghor prices for leather havo occasioned. Iron and Stool.

"In iron and steel the situation is rather ills appointing, although the output continues largo, as tho demand for linishcd products does not seezn to increase. Structural forms are in largo demand, but sales of wire are about 30 per cent, loss than lasc year, and in other branches there Is no perceptible gain. It Is still an open question whether the consumption will support th.e manufacture at the present rate, which Is at least an eighth below the present maximum. JRIir In Bciif FrlcoH. "Outside the speculative markets, tho most important feature Is the rlso in tlio price of beef, but.which Is largely duo to the coutrol of sources of supply by a few strong corporations.

There ought to bo. but apparently is not, sufficient power in the hands of tho government to meet any such conspiracy against vac pub- tic, and the proposal of Secretary Morton to admit Mexican cattlo and cattle from Canada on easy terms for the boueilt ol consumers, is heartily commended, though It is not likely to have mnch Influence. The actual decrease In receipts of cattle at the four chlel western markets boon 200,000 head during tho lirst quarter of 1895. and the quantity killed has been only 80,000 head less than last year, about per buXfacts have little to do with prices in this case, as In the case of oil. Advanced.

"Some largo textile mills have advanced wages at Fall River about 10 per restoring the rates paid after the reduction in September, 1S93. are comparatively less serious this week, and the tendency is toward larger returns for labor, which will increase tho consuming power for other ucts. The cotton mills are encouraged by improving prices and are fairly busy. Other Featured. "Tho hopeful outlook for the 'principal crops gives much encouragement, and also tho increase in distribution merchandise.

The volume of'business represented by exchanges through tho principal clearing Is only per cent, larger than last year for the week and its per cent less than in 1893, about half the decrease being duo to lower range of prices. Money markets are comparatively dull and the accumulation from tho interior continues, although there is no material incieaso in the commercial demand. Foreign trade shows it lieavy balance due abroad, and gold would undoubtedly go out in large amount but for the negotiation cf bonds by tho syndicate. The government deflclt for the month thus far is over tlO.OOO.OOO, and no reason appears to expect that it will much diminish. The Failure JKecord.

"Failures for the first eleven days of April amounted to of which were of manufacturing, and of trading concerns. Failures during the past week have been 241 In the United States, against 218 last year, and 94 in Canada, against last year." Uradstreefi View. Bradstreet's savs: "The volume of general trade has maintained tho previous week's proportions, and at some points shows noteworthy increases as compared with, the total a year ngo. Tho reaction in petroleum prices appears to have been overcome, and the tendency is again upward, based on a drop in stocks from about 11.000.000 barrels of Pennsylvania oil in January. J89-4, to less than 3,000,000 barrels of merchantable oil.

So marked and rapid has been the appreciation In price of petroleum that speculation in It has been ex- olted. Further advances in quotations are noted also for wheat, on improved demand export: cotton, on a widened consumption, present and prospective; print cloths and. other' cotton goods, because of higher rav cotton; Bessemer pig iron. on tie increase of the cost of ore. coke and labor, and shoos and leather, on the lurther stiffening of values i5f hides.

The upward turn of prices for dressed beef and live cattle has been maintained- Is lower, is are lard and oats, but Indian corn and pork steady at last week's closing quotations. Wool is barely steady, as consumers ire waiting the new.crop before buying. Mroiu Many Relatively most improvement in trade Is In the region west of Chicago and north of St. Kansas The of the spring demand ror millinery, ary 6 0 QS clothing, groceries and hardware is over, but a fair volume of conservative trading continues- Mild weather and ueeded rains have greatly improved the agricultural and commercial outlook In tho northwest. Trade between Seattle ami Alaska is growing.

The movement of mcrcnandlso throughout the central and northwestern states shows Increase In activity in tho great spring wheat states. General trade conditions the south are no better, and, in some respects, less satisfactory- Improvement in demand is not announced at any point." STATE NEWS BY WIRE, NO- 95.

Views of trie Iowa Senator Set Forth in a Speech, His View of the Cause of Depreciation of of Having Gold and Silver on a Par.

Tho banquet was held at tho Pilgrim hotel.

President E. M. of the club, presided, and introduced the senator, who said, among other things: bavfi no doubt that iluaiioc Is familiar topic to you. and it certainly is to inc. 1 have seen more bills, received more pamphlets, and reuOS tnore upon this'subject durinR tlio last ever before.

You all sou "to use familiar is a scrow. loose somewhere. for we have seen our country pass In two or two and niilf years from condition or prosperity to one of and distress. We arc told wo have come to tnls sit- uation solely because of the coniliUon of one of tbe precious metals, uud realize that there is no more Important question tliau that of tho money wo use." 2t'tttural Mom-y MctnlH. He added that cold and silver were precious rcetalN because of their divisibility and their.

nondestructibilitjs. He relorrod to tho fact that sold and silver Vero for thousands years tlie money of the world, uud rapidly sketched tlio history of the minlne of theso precious meials and tho effect of their output as Influenced by wars upon the stock of gold and silver in the world. He continued: "It is said that in tlicrc was less than 11,000,000,000 of ROUl in the world. From I860 to 1S76 there was produced 1n tho world of Bold within about of the amount produced from HM to 1850. During the S1K) years prior to 1B5U ibcro produced about of silver, but dur- 1 n(t the twenty-live years ending 18TC there was produced nearly three times us much gold us silver.

"It is claimed that ta 1873 silver ocean Its downward course and'that It WHS duo to the action of the people b.v iholr in confess. It was bolloved by many thai this enormous Increase in uold would BO on from year to year. Vcr fourteen years, during the enormous l.cllux of Bold, the gold only passed through our country to those where KOld and silver were the meaa- ureofvulue. had then suspended specie payments, and for these fourteen years wo were on a paper basis, uud therefore it was that It was clalmod on account of tho enor- roous production of gold that (told and silver could never anain be a measure of value. However, during thls-tlmc silver uud gold marched side by sldo at a ratio of about I5tf to 1." Ceumtlou of tree Colnnto.

The speaker referred at groat length money legislation In European countries. Re- forrlng to the cessation free coinage of nil- ver In tho various mints of Europe, he Bald It was the diffusion of both metals Europe that kept them a parity. Is said in 1873 wo de-monctizcd silver. It Is true that at that time wo changed the laws of our mints and established gold as standard of value. I bellevo now that a mistake for Europe and for us to have changed theso standards.

Dut for twelve years prior to 18T3 wo were on a paper baaU and it was not looked upon by our people as Important feature. No action of ours In affected the price of silver or affected the action of Europe in dealing with silver. "Tho effect of our aeilon la claimed to havcfceon to r-jduc'j' the prlco of all commodities appreciate gold the same measure that silver depreciated. I don believe it. Since 1873 Koce prices have been reduced and some advanced.

Gold and silver until put In shape' of money were commodities and governed by tho lairs of supply and demand; and that thine happened to silver and gold as huppened under these laws to other commodities. In every country of Europe la 1873 the mint was open to silver, and in 1877 not a single mint in Europe was open to silver except for fractional coins. Wo were then upon a paper could exert no Influence upon supply and demand. From that time the supply of sliver increaied. and with an increased supply and no demand in Europe it was the most nat- ural thing in the world tbat silver should do- preclato." Situation In 1804.

i "The amount of silver in circulation in In gold standard bos talton the place of a double -standard, is $1,855,000,000, and there are now in circulation In the United States while In JOT-'. hod not a cent. And still they claim we demonetized silver. Eow can wo demonetize silver when we put It la circulation to extent in twenty-two years, and this silver passes current with gold." The senator continued that it WM necessary to have both metals on a par- with each other, and he predicted that an international agreement wan surely coming.
