Liverpool was 2@3d lower, Paris 15@o5c lower, Antwerp off 23@50e. Western receipts were not so large as they have been, but there was perfect weather and good crop reports from every di- | rection, even from abroad. The speculative trade was light and pit temper excitable, al- though decidedly bearish. Declines were suf- fered all around in every market in the world. July opened lc lower at 3107, rose to $107%, declined to $1 05 and recovered to $105%. May ranged from $140 to $150 and closed at the lowest. Corn’ for a while to-day showed steadiness. It finally broke with Wheat, July showing & loss of %c at the close. Oats were neglected, but remained rather steady. July closed ¢ lower. The Provision market to-day proved a puzzle. The market early made a dip, but as the ses- sion_advanced the trading showed surprising steadiness, Packers were buyers. At the close July pork was Tiec, lard 2%c and ribs 5c higher. The leading futures ranged as follows: Open. High. Low. Close. inaugurated yesterday on the Stock Exchange promised well during the early part of to-day, but before the close the advantage gained earlier had all been lost and prices as a rule were lower than last night, not only. in the specialties whose weakness stopped the an- vance, but in the stafdard stocks and in those which had led the advance as well. At the opening the bull contingent had to face & serles of declines for Americans in London, but the tendency of the London market after its open- ing was upward and the declines there were fgnored, prices here opening higher all along the line. There was a fair volume of orders to buy, which had come to commission houses | overnight as a result of the strensth displayed yesterday, and there was no selling for London account to amount to anything. The early ad- vance was continued with vigor and confidence led by People's Gas and Rock lsland, which gained about 1% per cent each. The unsettled tone of Tobacco and the large volume of trans- actions In it gave the first check to the ad- vance. When very heavy offerings of Sugar were joined to those of Tobacco the bull cam: paign’ received an effectual check for the da and was not renewed. There was a conspicu- | | | | | “Articles.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

The engaged Australian list for San Franclsco foots up fifty-one vessels, with about 135,000 tons coal capacity: some of these will not leave their loading port before October next. Coal freights have been advanced uver two shillings per ton from Newecastle since last mail: this was fully expected, as shipowners are not dis- posed to seek this 'port, when we have so few inducements to offer for outward charters, our incoming wheat crop being a comparative fail- ure. Our importers have benefited but little by the increased r ‘- of freight from Austra- lia, as the cargoes of fully 9 per cent of the vessels chartered were disposed of months ago, hence our consumers are insured cheap fuel. *“The American navy at Mapila will call for considerable coal shortly. A portion of same vill be shipped from here, which will serve to sustain values and deplete our stock on hand. The general outlook indicates high prices for coal through the entire year, and should prove a banner season for our colliery proprietors in British Columbia and Washington, as our re- quirements will be nearly all drawn from those sections."

COFFEE—C, E. Bickford's circular gives the Teceipts at this port thus far this year at 77,675 bags, against 80,085 for the same time last year. The sales from first hands were against 44,601 The stock in first 1 was 23,419 bags. against 35160 The world's vistble supply May bags, against 4,348,800. The cir- cular says: ““As foreshadowed in our last review, there is little to say of the local market since the 27th ult. Sales in April from first hands and speculators were about treble the normal vol- ume, and until those purchases are liquidated, the demand will remain inconsiderable, buyers having retired. Quotacions are from ¥%c lower to unchanged, and the tone of the market is steady. “To-day’s first hand stock consists of 8725 Costa Rica, 1487 Nicaragua, 9891 Salvador, 11,645 Guatemala and 1871 Mexican; in all 33,- 610 bags, as against 33,589 bags the same time last _vear. ““The steamer <slon is due about the 2ist Inst. with 4450 bags.”" We quote: Costa Rica—16@17c for prime washed: U®150 | for good washed; 16016%c for good to prime washed peaberry; 14@lsc for good peaberry: | 12%@14%c for good to prime: 1i@12¢ for good current mixed with black beans; 9%@12%c for fair: 6@3c for common to ordinary.
