NEW YORK MARKETS. . Financial. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 31.—Speculation at the stock exchange to-day while irregular in ivs course was In the main firm. At the start the market was weak on London selling and.prices de- clined 14@% per cent, Mutside of Manhattan, which fell nearly 2 per cent to 8714 on the revival of the old stories of poor tradings ana reduced divi- dends. The pressure to gell the general list was nou pronounced by any means ahd afier 1 o'clock the market gradually assumed a firmer tone. The changewas dne simost entirely to s sudden rise in Sugar of 254 per cent to 10554; this stock fig- ured for nearly 50 per cent of the day’s business and was in_trisk demand, especially 10 the after- 100D trading. Brokers sileged to be acting for insiders and representatives of & prominent operator we: spicuous buyers, and it was common report that the stock s0ld for iuside account in the neighbor- nood of 120 had been . repurchased, and Lhat lowered Wall-street interests were for another ill cam paign. The advance ol 14 per cent in re- fined was considered corroborat{ive evidence by the professionals who bought the stock that the advance will not be opposed by insiders. 1he jump ln the certificates strengthened the general market, and higher prices were recorded for all the leading issues. ‘The St. Paul statement for June, with 1ts 1oss in net, earnings of over $105,000, had Jittle influence. Jersey Central was positively sirong, rising 214 to 9334, the unfavorable report for the first six months of 1896 havi g been ignored. Reading ruled steady at 1015@10%. Lackawanna brought 150 agains. 147 (he iast previously reported sale.

CHICAGO, Tir., July SL—A slight improve- ment In price took place in wheat, the opening to- day being a shade below yesterday, subsequent to | which a further moaerate gain was recorded. The | trade after the starting activity dwindled into | nothingness, even the local professionals taking | scarely any part in the operations. During thé | morning St. Lenis quoted an_advance of aout 1c, probably caused by rain predictions, and our mar- | ket imbibed strength through sympathy. Liyer- | ool was quiet and steady, and because the weak- ness of yesterday was not reflected there was the main reason for strength at the opening. The re- celpts were moderate, Chicazo having 157 cars | ana the Northwest 270. Last Friday Minne- apolis and Duluth had £76 cars and & year ago but 64. Local inspections from store were 150,000 bushels. Closing Paris cables were 5 centimes lower to 10 centimes higher for flour and 35 ceritimes lower to 15 centimes higher for wheat. Antwerp wis 123 | centimes lower to unchanged, and Eerlin showed & decline of 3, mark. During the last hour early buyers, finding no further encoursgement, turned seiiers, and the entire early gain was eliminated. Export clearances amounted to 360,398 bushels. Another rally took place in tue last fifteen min- utes, shorts becoming alarmed at & scarcity of offerings_and runuing the market up on them- selves. Sepiember wheat opened from 58%4c to 58%/4c, sold between 584@58%3¢ and 594C, clos- ing at 6874c bid, 3s@Yac higher than yesterday. Esumated recelpts for (o-morrow 155 cars. CORN—The receipis of corn this morning ex- | eeded even the liberal estimate- made yesterday Dby 45 cars, 1201 cars coming in. In deference o this fact the price of corn at the opening was lower than at the close yesterday. The strength of wheat | conveyed a steadier feeling, however, and the opening depreciation wss later on recovered. The withdrawsls from store were gool at 365,167 bushels. Liverpool cables were 14d iower. 'Ex- port clesrances samounted to 66,930 bushels. ‘When wheat detlined late in the afternoon, corn also weakened and receded, but rallied with the final sirength of the leading grain. September corn opened at_2434c, advanced to 25c, closed at 245jc bid, 14@%4c higher than yesterday. Esti- mated receipts for to-morrow, 1058 cars. OATS—Were not active, but they were pos- sessed of the usual steadiness. They did not de- cline with the force of corn early, nor did they ad- vance with any degree of vigor. The tone was apparently independent of action of the other grains. Receipts were 235 cars, and 1035 bushels were taken from store. EXpOrt clearances were 177,491 bushels. “eptember oais closed gc higlier than yesterday. Estimated receipts for to- morrow 326 cars. FLAX—Was firm. Cash, 73¢: September, 72140: October, 74l4c. Receipts were 24 cars. PROVISIONS—The run of hogs this morning pas quite light, prices at tho yards recovering for that resson. Provision traders were willing 10100k at the situation with something more of confidence than lately, and as shorts were not averse to securing profits the tone of the market was decidedly better. September pork closed 121gc higher than yesterday; September lard and each 5@744¢ higher. BUT1ER—The butter market was firm, clally for fancy makes , which were rather scarce. Prices were unchanged.

Dun & Co. will say to-morrow In their weekly review of trade: Business conditions have clearly lmproved, though business has not. It isthe torpid season and better prospects have little effect yet. Gold exports have been stopped and foreign advices are promising an early and large demand for American products. The operations of forelgners in the stock market have reflected little besond the troubles of speculators at_the London settle- ments and varying degrees of ignorance about American aftalis. The prospect for large crops of cotton and corn Is still exeellent, and neither movement of wheat nor marxets give promise of continuance to low estimates. W heat is going out with freedom that {s usual and Atiantic exports have been:1,901,119 bushe's. floyr included, for the week agains: 900,248 last year, anu for four weeks 6,364,266 bushels against 8,422,821 last year. Lower raii rates heiped corn 10 make a new low record at 30,12 cents, and pros- pecis are generally favorable. Cotton advanced & quarter of a cent on reports of Injury, but there are really few who expect less than a large yleld. Several weeks of extremely slack demand for cotton goods have brought further reduction in print cloths to 2.44c. The woolen - mills do not gain, light welghts offeriag 5 L0 T34 per cent lower in price than last year,snnd sales 0f wool now reported are less than a quaTter of a full week’s consumption. The boot and shoe industry secured slight further advances from the iowest polat, but new orders are scant. Leather is stubbornly held, without change In prices. i Hides have turned downward sharply st Chl- cago, declining 5 per cent for the week, with heavy accumulations. The iron Industry is helped but little by the sat- tlement which gives puddiers of the -Ohio region 50 cents advance in wages, because the demand i 80 light that few mills can run. Many contracts for structural work are being held back, and there Is very little done In that line. 5 The volume of domestic_trade, judging from ex- changes, has been small even for midsumm r. It is not surprising that faflures have been consider. able in magnitude, and in iwenty-three days of July defaulted Jiabilities were $12,069,481, against $8,892,727 in twenty-five days lasuyear. Failures for the week have been 281 in the United States, agalnst 261 last year, and 40 in Canads, sgainst 28 last year. — NEW. XOKK STOCKS, Bonds, Exchange, Money and Raliroad Shares.

The market opened strong yesterday morning and there was quite a raliy on the noon informal session, Chollar touching $3 25, Gould & Curry 92c, Potosl $1 50, Con. Cal. & Va. $2 20, Ophir 81 26 and so on. The usual break occurred in the afternoon, however, and prices went down as fast a8 they had gone up. The close was weak at the decline. The south drift on the 300 level of the Chollar. Brunswick workings is now nearly 100 feet south of the Chollar-Norcross line. It is expected that an east crosscut will soon be started. The east crosscut on the same level in Hale & Norcross ground, 30 feet north of the Chollar line, has been stopped. The weekly letter from the Mono states that on the 400 level the east crosscut from the south drift was advanced 7 feet in hard porphyry and the waste I8 being stored in the old workings. They are having some surveying done, with a view of working men to_better advantage, in the region of the For.una. The Mono Mininz Com- pany has an ownership in the Lent shaft and an interest in a big pile of tailings with the Bodie Consolidated and other companies, and when these tailings are worked by the cyanide process the company will receive its share of the profits.
