Y, Aug 14—In the early trading at the Stock Exchange the tendency of prices was downward, London cables reaching a slightly lower range for American securities, Arbitrage houses sold about 6000 10 7000 shares of St. Paul, Loulsville and Nashvilie and certain of the low-priced issues. An averagze decline of about g ver cent resulted, but the dealers were less demonstralive than of late. The continued ease of sterling exchange and the ability of stock exchange borrowers to secure funds and 4 per cent created a little more bullish feeling. As the day advanced and it was cabled from London that Mr. Balfour in Parliament had stated that the out- look for the settlement of the Venezuelan boun- dary dispute had improved, the market developed positive strengih. As of iate, the shorts were the heaviest buyers, and it is not amiss to say that investment orders are few and far between. This condition is lixely to continue until the commercial situation lm-‘ proves. The reports of failures from day to day and the indisposition of the banks 10 lend money | on time is 1ot lost sight of by any means by stock operators. As a rule the best prices of the day were current about 2 o'clock. One of the leading bears was & prominent buyer a this time, and it is estimated that he succeeded in covering about 10,000 shares of Sugar and St. Paul. Manhattan, however, scored the greatest gain, rising from 74 10 7834, Sugar rose from 10034 to 100%: Burlington and Quincy from B834 o 60; Consolidated Gas from 1383 to 143; 't 0bacco from 5634 Lo 5734 | and North west from 9114 10 9315, In thespecial- | ties Minnesota Iron feli 5to 41 and rose to 51. New gland was bid for at 20 against 35. the last reported sale at the Stock Exchange. Louisvilie, New Albany and Chicago stocks were steady on statements by President Thomas that the com- pany wlll contest the claims of the Beattyville bondhoiders to the end. Present officials of the Monon ( ompany assert that the guarantee of the bonds were irre-ular. In the late deailngs Man- battan dropped 2 and the general 1ist 14 to 1a. Specu:ation closed easier in tone, nei chunges showing gains of 14@: per cent, Manhattan leading, General Elcciric, Tobacco and Louisville and Nashbviile a siight ion less.

CHICAGO MAKRKETS. plates, CHICAGO, Trr., Aug. 14.—The wheat market to-day was, In comparison with yesterday and Wednesday quite a aull affair. The liquidation in September had veen general. The tone of the market was not very strong, but there was & stesdy undertone which prevented prices from displaying an ex:remity of weakness. That new wheat s be- gluniug to move with some degree of treedom in the Northwest tends to deter buyers and checks sn advancing inclination. The receipts in that section to-day were 420 cars agalnst 341 last Fri- day and 177 a year ago. Chicago received 150 cars and lnspecied 78,305 bushels. Liverpool cables were steady. A steady tone in the New York stock market was urged in explauation of the more confident feeling in grain. Export clearancex amounted to 173,000 bushels. Closing Conunental cables were higher. In the last fif- teen minutes the crowd endeavored to dispose of wheat bought earlier. the consequence being that prices slipped away rather quickiy, September wheat opened from 85lac to bbc, sold between 5515@5564c and ba34c, closing at b5c bid, 14@35c under_yesterday. Estimated receipts for Lo-mor- row 170 cars. CORN—There was no decided hear feeling, al- though the prospect of an sdvance was conceded 10 be rather indefinite. The steaiiness which marked the tone was doubtless caused by the inspection from store, 889,528 busheis. eipts were 739 cars, 59 more than estimated. Liverpool cables were firm. EXborc clearances amonnted to 121,149 bushels. rn_openea between 27¢, 2754 34c, 0siLg e L4c under yesterday. Estimated re- ceipts for to-morrow 600 cars. OATS—Were firm. The cash demand for old oats and the scarcity of the article with the con- tinuation of reports of detriment to the crop all contributed to the improved ieeling, Receipts were 324 cars and 48,314 bosnels were taken from store. May oats closed Yac higher than yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-morrow 305 cars. FLAX—Easy. Southwestern, 68@69c, ciosing at 68c: September, 89@69%4c; December, Tic. Re- ceipts were 137 cars.

Dun & Co. ‘will say to-morrow in their weekly review of trade: Failures for the week have been 298 in the United States, against 196 last year; and 36 in Canada, against 48 last year. An extraordinary spell of hot weather has inter- fered with trade throughout the East. With cooler weather there came on Thursday a perception that the Bryan meeting woula not affect business. But other conditions were nov stimulating. Ac- cording to Government reports the crops have | sustalped serious Injuries. Labor difficulties ex- tend and the closing of estimates for want of work and the refusal of commercial loans by the banks checked op.-rations in many branches of indust and trade. The week therefore closes as the last week did, with domestic business unusuaily duil for the season. There is evidence of greater confidence in the stock marke which began to appear on Monday. ‘The average of sixty of the most active stocks had fallen 0 $40 85 per share, a deciine of over 7 per cent for the week, 8o that pricss were actually the lowest in seventeen years since the first month after specie resumption. Trust stocks had also de- clined %2 78 for the week. There was some selling by foreign wouses, but there was a general feeling of capital investors here that might not yet be the Dest time 1o buy. Men of more confidence put up prices a littie oo Tuesday and still more on Churs: day, s0 that the week closed with an advance averasing 90c per share for railroads and 1 32 for trasts. Railroad earnings for the first week {n August were 5.1 per cent_smaller than last year, and the Chicago eas bound tonnage was over 4 per cent lower than last year. The Govercment crop re- POZL for August was S0 gloomy that a great rise in prices would have followed if it had been entirely credited. In 1act, wheat rose about 4¢, but again deciined, closing' only a fraction higher for the v Corn declined throngh the week, closing overa cent lower. Coiton advanced a sixteeuih because of continued reports of injury. Iron products were reducsd 20,704 tons weekiy in July and has been further reduced since August. while unsold sto-ks increased 26,192 in July, The stoppae of a large share of ihe Connelisville Coke Works ana of many lake iron mines 13 an indication that two combinations do not belleve anytbinz could be gained by reducing the prices of materi and the main difficulty is the ol viously extreme narrowness of demand for finfshed prod- ucts. which 15 50 Small that n10st transactions are st some_conce:sions even from the current low prices.

For Late Shipping Intelligence See Fourteenth Page, e ey saving a Client The ethics of, the difference between the professional opinion of a paid advocate and the honest conviction of a learned man were set forth by a well-known Eng- lish barrister who died recently. Thestory is not to be found in the reminiscences which he published shortly before his death. It was a case of murder, and the client and counsel were closeted together. “Smith,” said the barrister, “of course I know you didn’t murder the man, but, as a matter of fact, did you do it with the butt end of a revolver or with a stick?* Sir,” said Smith, *“I swear I am inno- cent.”” “Iknow that perfectly well, but you must tell me. Forif you did it with a revolver, I shall say to the prosecution, ‘Produce the stick " and if you did it with a stick I shall say ‘Produce the revolver!’ ” . The, client paused and seratched his head me}ilazively. ‘It was the butt end of a revolver, sir.”” “That’s right!” said the counsel; “I think I can get you off now.” —Pittsburg Dispatch. * Eighty-five r cent of the people who ected on the lefs side.
