Financial NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 24 —Speculation at the Stock Exchange was dull and professional to- dsy. Only 100,021 shares of stock were traded in, while dealinzs in railway and miscellaneous bonds tooted up $310,000, both unusually small totals. The fluctuations were on a par with the transaction:, very few stocks changing as much as a point during the dav. Al the opening 1he market wis weak on moderate seliing for London and local account. Westein Union was quite a fearure 1500 shures changing hands at 747@ | uray the last transactions recorded The seiling of telegraph had little fn- - geveral list. and before he expira- > first hour of busivess the entire list tion o was G Lhe advance onc: more. The bu was based on the idea that the Clearing-house committee intended to issue cer- tificates at_their mreting to-day. It was agreed at this action would be of material assis-ance to merchants who are unable to place their paper av prosent and that the security markeis would re- flect the improvement in mercantile circles later The traders then begar to discount a probable ssue of certificates and toeir moderatc purchases s00n brought about a general advance in prices. Manhati bounded 4 10 TS14, but this was jonal. Western Union recovered from 7334 % and Snzar, the Grangers, Louisville an Nashville rose 14@1%4 per cent. Repewed weakuess in steriing exchanze en- couraged the hope of fresh importations of gold, and this also had s influence in bringing avout the bigher range of stock quota’ions. The demand from the shorts feil off toward the close and there was a disposition to pur_out fresh con- tracts in a smail way. Money on call rose to 8 per cent, but under offerings by a foreign house the rate qui returned 1o 6 per cent. After bor- rowers had supplied their wants there were lend- ers us 10w as 3@A per cent. At the close Lhe stock market was tolerably firm, except for Sugar and the Grangers. Net changes In the active stocks were slight either way, outside of Mauhattan, which gained 1%/ per cent, and sugar, which iost 1 per cent. in the Inactive issues Lake Shore dropped 3 per cent to 1881%.

Avg. 24.—The bull enthusiasm in wheat which became 80 prominent on Saturday was remarkable by its absence from the trade at the opening this morning. The fact that guitea heavy line of short property was covered through the medium of *calls” eliminated an important | strengthening factor, and buyers were not quite so | confident of a further advance. The visible sup- | ply was an object of some attention while the fig- ures were in_receipt, but the final result.ade- crease of 687,000 bushels, was not important, either from a builish or bearish standpoint. Re- ceipts at Chicago were 167 cars and 114,195 bush- | els were taken from store. The Northwest had 354 cars, against 308 last Monday and 608 & year ago. Liverpool quotatlons were higher to correspond to | our advance of Saturday. The amount on ocean passage increased 80,000 bushels. The world’s shipments were estimated at 5,655,- ©00 bushels. Afier opening fairly steady the market gradually eased off, as it became apparent that information was not particulariy cheerng to holders. In the afternoon there was a strength- ening of the tone on an advance in wheat of from 20 to 85 centimes and in flour of from 35 centimes to 1 franc 25 centimes at Paris. Antwerp closed 25 centimes higher, and Berlin from unchanged 10 34 mark lower. Export clearances amounted t0 145,241 bushels. Tne English visible supply increased 110,000 bushels. A fair business in cash wheat was reported. Weakness sgain as- | sailed prices at the close and the recovery was 10st. December wheat opened from 61%4a¢ to 613/4c, sold between 613,c and 6034c, closing at 617sc, 3s@Y4c under Saturday. Esiimated recelpts for to-morrow 275 cars. CORN—With the execution of a moderately large number of orders at the opening the corn market settled into the crstomary rut, and inac- tivity was the only nouceable feature of the trade subsequently. Receipts were 755 cars and 923,- 391 bushels were withdrawn from store. Live pool caoles were firm and unchanged. Wheat changes in prices occurred reflecting the tone and feeling of wheat. The visible supply increased 850,000 bushels and_the amount on ocean pussage 1.680,000 bushels. Export clearances aggregated 295,034 bushels. May corn opened at 2674c, de- clined to 2655@2634c, where it _closed, Ygc under Saturday. Lstimated receipts for to-morrow 850 cars. OATS—Developed nothing but_dullness, and for tone the motive was obtained from wheat. Re- ceipts were 891 cars. There were no withdrawals from stor The visible supply decrease! 372,000 bushels.

UNION STOCKYARDS, ILL, Aug. 24.—The run of cattle to-day was large and prices suftered 10 the extent of 5¢ to 10c. An excessive run of hogs and only a fair demand caused a weak mar- ket for that animal. Prices were 5¢ to 10¢ lower. Sheep were in heavy supply aud moderate de- | mand. A decline of 5¢ to 10¢, particularly in 1ambs, was noted. | CATTLE—Recernts. 20,000.

Ha!” said his friends politely. On the face of one of the bystanders there was, however, no answering smile. Instead there was the strained look of one who fails to see the point. *‘Well,” he said, doubtfully, ‘‘what’s wrong with that?” “Why, man alive, can’t you see? It's the worst kind of a chump question, What answer would you expect ?” “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe 5:45.” “My friend, whom do you find willing to pay money for the use of your mental powers?"” “Ehb? Oh, you mean where do I work? I'm ticket agent on the Middle ana Southern.”” —————— The healthiest children in the wor dwell in the Scottish Highlands.
