The industrials were comparatively inactive, but showed improvement, Gains of 34 wers frequent | hroughout the list. The stock market s0on developed a more buoy- ant tone, whics ex:ended to all classes of securi- ties. The low-pric e in considerable demand and tluctu Sugar bounded up 2 point on the anuouncement of an advance in retined grades of the staple. There was no cessati n of the bull speculation during the forencon and purchases were made with greater confidence than for some time. The o upward movement in wheat, conpled heavy export inquiry and the favorable traffic siaiements, invited ageressive action by the leadiug bulls. Various roups of stocks were en in band and improved sucstantiaily, the in- active ~ouhwesterns looming up in prominence. Near midday there were some r-cessions on profit- 1aking. Once more to-day wheat and securities advanced togeLher, and notwithstanding the uncertalnty at- tending the preaictions concerning speculative markets no:hi g seems more sure than thst the 1w mal s will attain yet hizher levels. For- eign advices to-duy indicated shortages in crops of ali the uropesn wheat-exporting coun ries, and the advance in grain was chiefly the reflection of the tone in the Liverpool, Paris and Antwerp markets. Railway earnings reported to-day forthe last week of July aud the firs: week of August were very encovraging.

London bouses trajed very heavily in_this market to-day. and at the Openiug were fairy large buyers of siocks.

The same conditions pre- vail at pr.sent. The heavy advance to-day was materially helped by the covering ofoue of the largest shoris in the uarket. After covering his line he turned buyer and went home long of wheat. Ju is reported that se-board operators sold wheat in this marset to-day. Liverpool private advices just befors the close of the session were stroug, causing a very firm feel- ing after the close. Cargoes on passage and off coast were from 5d to 6d higher, with a brisk inquiry. Anjwerp reported Wheal strong. News from Hungary was builish, prices advanc- ing sharply.
