Market conditions In London ara re
ported by the Kentish Obawrver of April II
aa followa:
Tha supply la getting smaller every week,
and tha few bolder are asking rather more
money. Yearling and older hope ara receiv
ing considerable attention at very full rates.
Cnttarntal stocks ara too small for any
great amount of business, and prtcee are
brm. I'aciric Coast hopa are la mora de
mand at the recent advanc of ts per cwt.
At Worcester, there haa been a fair
amount or business put throuah from mer
chants" atocks. but no growers hopa have
oen so It rur some time past, with mild
weather an Improved demand would b
-e.t ror. Mocks being limited, price re
main unchanged.
Wild. Neama A Co. There la a fair de
mand for the time of ear nrlnclnallv .
nne.1 to copper hopa; available stocks ara
ettremely limited so that any transactions
nave in enxrt or hardening value.
There la rather a better demand fnfWMt
descriptions of hopa: several parcels hava

NEA TORK, April ST. The alow advance
which has been in progress In th stock
market moat of tba week waa Interrupted
suddenly In tha midst of today's session
when publication of tha March earnings of
th Harriman line gar tba list a pro
nounced setback.
Southern pacific reported a decrease of
f.7.0 In net earnings and Union Paolfl
1.1 4 . 010, This showing waa regarded aa es
pecially unsatlafaetnry In view of report
which th street had heard In tha lost few
davs that the roads would itiikt unusually
good exhibits.
Trading waa leas active -than yesterday,
tba market growing dull on the decline.
There waa llttl pressure to sell atocks oa
the decline, bear traders fearing to operate
boldly. Tha mornlng'a gama were eliminated
la most cases and tha close showed small
losses on the day. In place of the corree
pnndlngly small advance of th previous
day of th week.
Certain laolated Issues. Including traction
stocka. were strong. Amalgamated Copper
was heavy, probably on account of the aell-
Ing of stocks purchased earlier In tha weeK.
Trading In United mates Steel wa less sc
tlve. but that stock constituted th market'
brometer In that buying and selling of
these sharea were closely scrutinised by
those who think the Immediate future of tba
market Is dependent on conditions la tb
teel nd Iron industry.
Hold to the amount of t.io0,0n0 was
shipped to Canada today and a currency
transfer of flu.Otw waa made to San Fran
Cisco, making a total transfer of 11.100.1100
to the latter city this week.
Some plain evidence of the enrwidene
with which tli outcomo of Mexico's- diffi
