In New York, after regular trading hours to-day, wheat was bid up f@isc.

The only decided sign of weakuess that wa shown during the day was when it was given out that Monday's receipts would be in the neighorhood of 240 cars, and later when an estimate of 700,000 bushels increase in the visible supply was put in circulation. It is by no means certain that the increase will be so large, or that there will be any iucrease at all. Shipments from western points have been free all the week and export clearances abroad, whilo home milling demand has absorbed a t deal of grain in New vork and cls re, of which no nccount 1s made u the end of the w Tho domestic situn- tion is cspecially strc Reports from the northwest continue to cowe in bad, and it is id that there has b of at during the last two or s for - than for the previous six yestern, St. Paul and Rock are outspoken bulls on the prospects along their own lines and tribu- tarics, The seutiment of the speeulutive crowd is bullish pronoun —possibly too much so for a specul not MARKET. ial Telezram to ned with a big out If the spring it below an average instead of 10 ent above, as many anticipated up to uite recently, then the latest reports and nates away off.

New York wired all the way four to fifty boat loads taken for port and exporters were represented seurrying around clear up to the last trying to get what they had offered to sell the night before without, in every case, getting the property first. Late cablés were bullish on weather and demand. The advance for the day was 1'ywlie.

The general market was ubout the same as at the close last night. “The flood of Texans com- menced on Monday, and averaged half the cattle on sale each d; Sellers knew it ‘would keep up for two or three days at least and buyers, having means of information, knew it, too, und were ready to stand from Another source of weakness was the number of poor tocommon natives. Buyers in the states have made some money during the past two months or 80 on good fat cattle and that kind being about all mar- keted in some localities greedy buyers go about the country making good bids on cattle that farmers had no idea of selling yet, and which are not at all fit for markets, The result is the farmer sells and cheats himself; the buyer gets them and loses money.

New Yorx, August 4 —[Special "Pelegram to Tue Bei ‘Ks—The most important features in the stock wmarket the past week were the sudden changing of traders from Granger stocks to the Vanderbilts and the subscquent retirement of the former to sec- ond place in activity, the favorable adjus ment of cable dificulties and an advance in prices. This agreement will also have a good effect on land lines. This, it is believed, will increase the receipts of the Western Union company, and with the enhanced mcome which the company will derive under the new vasis of rates it is believed that the earnings will suflice to incresse the dividend rate. The financial and physical condition of Lake Shore, and probably also of Michigan Ceytral and Canada Southern seems to fully Justify the expected increase in their divi- dend rate. The earnings of these roads have been well maintained throughout the depres- sion in business, and the conservative policy pursued by the management has enabled them to expend large amounts in mmprove- ments and renewals of roadway and rolling stock, thus keeping the road in the highest state of eMciency. In view of the good crop production and the certainty that a large per- centage of this must go to the seaboard for foreigu shipmaat, the prospects for business are brigh’ The advance in Northern Pa- cific stor nas been' checked: by the contest which has arisen between that company and the Oregon Navigation company for posses- sion of the Coeur-D'Alene country. These complications were due to the failure on the part of the Union Pacific to porfeet a joint lease with the Northern Pacitic of the Oregon Navigation. It is believed that the difficulty is in process of adjustment, if not already settled, and that the bright prospects of this company and all its allied systems, as well as of Union Pacific, will not be marred by un- profitable strife. In relation to Union Pa- cific, although the earnings of the company for the month of June show n loss from those ot last year, it's future 18 promising. The bill to fund its debt to the governmeat has been introduced in the United States senate, where no opposition to its passage is ex- pected, and this move, it is thought, will probably result in the measure becoming law at this session. In addition thereto Ore gon Short Line show: carnings, which gives the company a over the actual charges instead of a deficit, as in provious years, The business future of the country, based upon the crop yield and the certainty that there will be a foreign de mand for all our surplus, 18 giving more con- fidence to investors in securities, and that the demand is increasing is shown daily in the small supply of stock offerings. Stocks were bid up freely to enable holders to mar- ket the other stocks without causing a sharp decline in them. A large number of bulls who have closed out are not adverse to a de- cline, as they would like to got in again. The market to-day was dull and about as uninteresting as ever witnessed. The bad crop reports from the west made operators backward about purchasing and traders who we lucky enough to have orders found it difienlt to execute them satisfactorily. The only feature was the advance of ¢ in Mich- igan Central and Northwestern, the rest of the list remainine steady.

A BETTER SPECULATIVE DEMAND, New York Exchange in Good Supply and Easior -Stocks Quite Active— Unusual Excitement in Grain and Provisions, The Money Market. Cricaco, August 4.—(Spoecial Telegram to Tne Ber.] ~Business around the banks was moderately active during the past weck. The settling up of monthly accounts and the de- livery of property on maturing contracts ¢ ates a little more demand for money tempo- ravily, but borrowers experienced no diM- culty in obtaining all the accommodations res qui Bankers, asa rule, ave well supplied with loanable funds and are disposed to readily favor customoers, but gener: sist ou excellent security and comparatively o margivs, ‘The supplies of grain and pro- visions on hand are smaller than usual at this senson of the year, consequently less money 18 required to carry them. Bankers have ac- cepted some outside paper av fair rates of interest but are not inclined to prant many favors of that character at present. The balances of country banks are well main- tained, but local bunkers anticiy a liberal reduction in them when new crops bhegin to move freely. Not much money hus been forwarded to the interior, s the requi ments in that quarter have been light, Farmers are moving very little produce to the stations as they are now busily engaged in harvesting operations. The demand from ators in stocks, grain and provisions od u little improvement, as the call fc rgins were more frequent and som money was required to pay for property pro viously purchased.

Prices averaged on leading proper- ties, though the ne figures were not fully supported to the close street operators traded rather freely foreign speculators gave the m: ¢ erable attention during the early part of the week, Western operators traded with con- siderble freedom in some of the stocks, chiefly those in which the west is interested. The carnings of the leading railroads have shown only a small improvement, which may be attributable to the unsettled condition of ht rates. The outlook for crops is re- -y favarable, and this in a meas- ends to the firmness of the stocks of some of the leading lines. There was some realizing by the “‘long” interest at advanced prices, but not suflicient to make any material change in the market nor have any effect on the course of prices. The whole list of stocks was quite generally traded in, but Reading, St. Paul, New York & New England, Dela- ro, Lackawanna & Western, Union Pa- cific, Missouri Pacific and Western Uniol met” with most The market closed rather steady.

The surroundings of trade were sufficiently variable to encourage spe transactions and create some dif- ference of opinion relative to the future course of the markets, Crop advices from abroad were unfavorable and reports from home crops w not soencouraging in a gen- eral way as during the past week or two. This had some effect in strengthen- ing the markets carly in the week, but fro realizing by heavy tors tended to depross the market and lower prices again. The receipts of now gram continue moderate. Sellers evidently are slow to accept current prices and regard the outlook us favorable for holdmg. Shipments have been more liberal both from seaboard and western markets and supplios are not in- creasing as rapidly as reported at this time last year. The demand on shipping account was more active, several round lots of wheat and corn being taken on direct export orders, which is regarded as a vory favorable feature in trade. In fact there is little doubt with the presont favorable ghts continued, that Chicago will be the headquarters for the export trade in grain and provisions during the fall and winter months. Fluctuations in prices were frequent and within quito a wide range at times, but the result of the week’s business shows a material ad- nee established. The quality of new grain has not- been very good, but this is usually the case at the ‘beginning of new crops. Provisions shared in the gencral unsettled feeling near the close of the week and very marked d in prices occurred, though a slight v prevailed later, The cipts of live hogs at all the principal west- ern packing points were lighter. The pack- ing of the west is gradually decreasing, and urns to date show a falling off of about 150,000 hogs, compared with the returns of lust season, -— He Struck Out Eleven. “My son,” said the shocked and grieved father, “in spito of all [ have said to you about Sunday bull pla; you took part in the game yeste Take off your coat.” “Idon't deny it, fathe I played ball y, sterday, and the paper this morn- ys I was the only one in the nine d play ball,” *Is that 07 Does the paper say that?
