Reports to Dun's Review show that bank
ruptcy returns for the month of April are
very satisfactory as to number, falling: more
than 100 short ot the failures In -the corres
ponding month last year, but as to amount ot
defaulted liabilities the exhibit Is exception
ally unfavorable, owing to a few failures of
Unusual size, particularly among manufac
turers. Exclusive of banking and railway in
solvencies, all strictly commercial defaults
during April number 750 with liabilities of
f 11.811,007. compared with 855 In the some
month of 1902, when the defaulted Indebtedness
reached only $7,359,341. In manufacturing llnea
there were 212 failures for J G, 306,295. as
against 220 last year with liabilities of $:
D0S.S17. Trading bankruptcies were 402 in num
ber and $4,586,505 In amount, which compares
with 5S0 failures in-olvlng $3,917,455 a year
ago. In other commercial lines, not properly
Included among manufacturers or traders.
there were 40 defaults with liabilities of $829.
077, as compared with 55 failures for $503,009
last year. There, were four banking and loan
association , suspensions with an. aggregate
Indebtedness of $71,000. This compares with a
similarly good exhibit a year ago, when there
were but three defaults Involving only $72,000.

"Yew York Salmon Market Weak.
The Jvew York salmon market Is over
whelmed by heavy receipts. The arrival ot
62,000 cases when from 6000 to 10.000 cases
only had been reported, caused considerable
disturbance in the market, and according to
one story unless the stronger Interests bolster
It up in some way, prioes are likely to go
off. Even aftr the vessel arrived and the
cargo had been reported, some of the larger
manipulators refused to acknowledge that
the Quantity was as large as stated. The
cargo consists of pockeyc. red Alaska and the
cheaper grades. Some business In pink has
been done ex this vessel at C2c. and other
varieties are reported moving at possibly
shade under quotations.
The only salvation of the market Is the
nearness of the active consuming season. If
the market can be held steady until then
there will be no dtfflculty. The Luckonback
will be tho next vessel with 8000 cases, chiefly
pinks and chums.
Wnlla AVnlla Krnit Prospects.
MILTON, Or, May 7. Tho fruit crop of the
"Walla "Walla Valley will be larger this year
than ever before In the history of the coun
try. A number of new orchards will come in
for the first time and the old orchards were
never before so proline in bloom and young
fruit. A fruit cannery at this place will have
all the fruit It could handle. There Is a larger
acreage In strawberries than ever before and
the yield this season will be unusually large.
The crop will bo ready for market later than
last year.
"Wheat AcrcnBe In Umatilla.
ATHENA, Or.. May 7. There Is an in
creased acreage in wheat in Umatilla County
this year and notwithstanding tho fact that
Spring wheat Is somewhat backward on ac
count of late sowing, the yield Is estimated
at 5.000,000 bushels. A number of heretofore
exclusive wheat farms in this section aro di
versifying their crop by putting in fields of
alfalfa and corn, and feeding It to hogs. One
of there farmers said the wheat he fed to
hogs brought him $1 a bushel. Ills corn last
year yielded him 35 bushels to the acre An
Increased acreage Is being planted In corn
this Spring.

STOCK EXCHANGE.
YORK
Developments in Connection "Witk
Nctt Transvaal Loan Slump
in Skipbaildiag; Bonds.
NEW YORK, May 7. Prices went down on
the Stock Exchange today without any clear
reason, although the theories current for tho
decline took a wide range over the whole
financial field on the part of board room
traders, who had the market to themselves.
The simple explanation seems to be that
these professional operators who have been
buying and bidding up stocks to a moderate
extent during the week find themselves with
little company and feel that they have reached
the limits of their courage In speculative
commitments. The process of selling to take
proflts finds as narrow a participation In the
market as that during the advance. Prices
consequently recede easily and la pretty
closo proportion to the advance on the same
volume of dealings.
The factor which came in for most discus
sion today in seeking an explanation for tho
decline was the problem of the foreign exchange
and possible gold exports. The developments
in connection with tho new Transvaal loan,
for which subscriptions were opened today,
were of foremost significance as bearing on
the exchange Question. Tho terms ot the
loan are much as expected and tho strength
of sterling reflected tho continued direction
of funds toward London. Subscriptions for
American account are small, but the matur
ity of foreign loans in this market .made the
London pressure Xor money effective In New
York. Only 3 per cent of the subscriptions is
required to bo paid on application, but tne
over subscription promises to be so great that
It is estimated that applicants will not re
ceive over 5 per cent of the amounts asked
for. Otf this basis, the 3 per cent on the total
application would amount to something over
the total sum of the full subscription, we ,
Immediate pressure for credits la London Is
thus easily understood. The pressure on the
exchange market In favor ot London Is likely
to relax very suddenly when the subscrip
tions for the loan are closed. Meantime tee
question of gold exports Is still open.
Another cause to which the day's depression
Is attributed was the slump In the sinking
fundjjonds of the United States Shipbuilding
Company. These bonds have never had more
than a nominal market, but their last salo
price on the exchange was SO. They were of
fered at that price today and then at succes
sive concessions as large as B per cent at a
time. Sales were made as low as 49. No ex
planation of this Incident was offered.
The activity of the bear faction was appar
ent In the circulation of rumors of the se
rious Illness of a conspicuous operator In
stocks and also in vague assertions of a com
ing bond Issue 'by a Western railroad for as
much as $35,000,000. Neither of these rumors
was substantiated. Favorable factors were
wholly Ignored. Thure was a! much greater
show of authority today for tissertlons that
the suspended Rock Island-San Francisco deal
was about to be consummated. The market
closed In fact with a general conviction that
an announcement was Imminent. The liqui
dation in the wheat market was calculated to
relieve any accurate fears of damage to that
crop by last week's weather, but the grangers
and Pacifies were notably affected by the late
liquidation. The admitted weakness of the
foundry Iron market and reports of labor dis
putes on the Great Northern and Southern
Railways may have had some Influence In de
pressing the market. Amalgamated was well
sustained, apparently on the rise In the Lon
don price ot the metal. The market closed
steady but only slightly above the lowest.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value.
$1,410,000. In United States bonds, the 2s
coupon advanced and the new 4s declined
"4 on the last call.

IROX TRADE REVIEWED.
Halt in Bnyinsr in the Foundry In
dustry Steel Market Strong.
CLEVELAND. May 7. Tho Iron Trade Re
view this week says: Current activity in tne
Iron trade does not furnish a proper gauge
of underlying conditions. The halt la buying
la one Important department, the foundry In
dustry, more or less colors the entire situa
tion. The steel end of the market continues
strong; but there Is a general desire, even In
lines not directly affected, to see the outcome
In Die Iron.
Already tho wait on the part of the pig-iron
buyers, prolonged throughout April, has shown
Itself In the Lake Superior ore market, where
oales have been almost unprccedently light
for the Spring months; the recent heavy chart
ering of vessels being very largely for interests
mining their own ore. Tho gradual disappear
ance of the unparalleled freight and fuel dll
Acuities of months have been taken In some
quarters as an Indication that reactionary ten
dencies were already at work, on tne assump
tion evidently that the pinch of railroad tie-
ups, rather than proper dispatch. Is the nor
mal condition. The disappearance of high
prices for prompt coke, prompt pig Iron and
prompt finished materials of some descriptions,
particularly plates, has contributed to the
waiting attitude of many buyers.
Meantime there la not a little difficulty In
estimating the relation ot production and con
sumption. Labor questions have Introduced
an element of uncertainty. Securities have
declined for several months; pig Iron has de
clined, and In finished material, with pre
mium disappearing, the top has been seen.
"Yet these conditions are accompanied by de
mands for very considerable advances In
rri f.. Ti-lth "inrtnlnir fit linnr Tn n. Winer new
and Important Increments to manufacturing
costs. Generally the concessions aro beng
made; but the consumer who must pay It, Is
yet to be heard from.
The disposition among plg-lron producers
appears to be to let the market drift. South
ern Association furnaces are not meeting the
prices of outside producers, which have
touched $16 at furnace for No. 2 iron, this
price having been named on Central Western
business. Little business results, and the Indi
cations are that the contracts when made
will not be for long periods.
