NEW YORK, June 10.—There was a briet struggle in the first hour of to-day’s stock mar- | ket to extend the reaction which has been 1 during the week, when the prices sud. nd vigorously took an upward turn, and it was a runaway bull campaign for the rest of | the day. There was an enormous absorption of s ascending the scale of prices, especlally | 1gar, Brooklyn Transit, the grangers and a | few of the 1ing speclalties. The picking up nactive and dormant stocks, however, dis uished the trading quite as much as the sive strength In the great speculative leaders. The advance was made in the face | of several incidents, any one of which would have been seized upon to raid down the whole list in the reactionary spirit of the early part of the weck, but they Were without the slightest | influence in restrainiog the heavv buying of | #tocks. One of these Incidents was the mark- ing down of prices for Americans in London on the score of the chronic British apprehension that the currency and finance of the United States were being unsettled and ruined by the nation’s supreme legislative body. London sold stocks early on this ground, but at the ex- treme decline bought a little bit of Loutsville and Southern Railway preferred. These two stocks suffered depreciation from the fear that the establishment of quarantines against yellow fever in the South would interrupt traffic and cut down their earnings. Reports from the growing crops awakened an urgent demand for the grangers, in which Burlington led with a net gain of Atchigon preferred is up 1% on the dey. The market closed very active and strong near the top. Bonds merely held their own In the early dealings, but prices rose and the volume of business {ncreased later in the day.

CHICAGO, June 10.—The crop damage reports continued to be the chief bull item In Wheat at the start. There seemed to be a growing apprehension that the harvest would be seri- ously delayed and that the grain would suffer serious injury. Wheat in the southern half ot Kansas was sald to be about ready for the harvest, while the flelds were sald to be flooded.” Numerous other telegrams from differ- ent parts of the country sent equally bad re- vorts, but interspersed with the heralds of calamity were a few others of & more reassur- ing character, suggesting the possibility of alleged disaster being more Imagination than the actual facts. There was a disposition to walt for the Government report, and this acted as a check to speculation. The clearing up of the weather in Chicago caused & tempor-. ary change in speculative sentiment. The sun in"about two hours after the opening of the session was beaming in at the windows of the Board of Trade and melted all the bull feel- ing out of the crowd in the Wheat pit. From being very strong, the market became weak, and the early gain was more than lost. Gen- eral buying by shorts gave the market a fresh impetus near the close, July left off with a gain of %c and September %@%c higher. The trade in the Corn pit was the most active on the floor. The country came forth in vigor: ous terms in numerous telegrams to desceibe the horrible effect of too much rain. No sooner had the session started than a buying frenzy selzed the pit. Shorts made a_general rush to cover and Iiberal buying orders were filled. fop the country account. July closed %@le up. Crop reports were very unfavorable for Oats, the general complaint being heavy rains have beaten down grain yond recovery. Ji closed %e higher.

WASHINGTON, June 10.—Preliminary re- | turns of the spring wheat acreage, with the two Dakotas in particular subject to reviston, | indicate a total area seeded of 16,800,000 acres, which added to the area In winter wheat, 26,- 200,000 acres, mekes a total wheat acreage of 43,000,000, or rather over 8,500,000 acres greater than last year. There is an increase of 8 per cent in_Minnesota, 22 in Iowa, 10 in Nebraska, 11 in North Dakota, 8 in South Dakota, 13 in Oregon and 20 in Washington. The average condition of winter wheat is 90.8, as compared with 78.5 at the corresponding date last year and $L.6, the corresponding aver- | age for the last ten years. The principal aver- ages are as follows: New York, 98; Pennsylvania, 9; Maryland, 9§; Tennessee, 93; Kentucky, 99; Ohio, &7; Michigan, - §7; Indlana, 85; Missouri, %; Kan- sas, 104; California, 33. The average condition of spring wheat I8 the almost if not Entinli unprecedented one of 100.8, as compared with 80.6 in June, 1867, and 92.5, the average for the past ten years. Nearly all the States of principal production reach a condition exceeding that indicative of @ full normal crop, North Dakota reporting 104, South Dakota 103, Nebraska 105, Towa 102, Minnesota 100, Oregon 101 and Washington 97. ‘The total reported acreage in oats 35 1.6 per cent less than last year. . The condition of oats Is 98, as compared with 3.3 on June 1 1897, and 9.5, the average for the corresponding date for the past ten years.

BOSTON, June 10.—The Boston Commerctal Bulletin will say to-morrow of the wool mar- ket: The market was more quiet this week than last. This 1s accounted for by the slackening up In the demand for wools to be used in Gov- ernment clothing. The demand from the regu- lar sources has not increased nor diminished. The establishment of a definite basis of value has been of material advantage to the market. Dealers have placed thelr wool on & rock bot- tom level and are slowl bulldl:g up from it. ‘There have been sales of fine medium territory on a basis from 44c and 45c. At prices bein paid In Utah and other sections in the West F! ‘will cost from 46c to 47c to land the new wool here, without considering profit or interest. Ofters for fine medium territory at 40c and for foreign combing at 62c and 63c have brought no sales. The sales of the week are 96,000 pounds domestic and 318,000 pounds forsigns 1,611,000 pounds domestic and 581,000 pounds for- elgn last week and 1,65L.400 pounds domestic #nd 7,133,000 pounds foreign for the same week last year. ] FOREIGN MARKETS.

NEW YORK, June 10—Bradstreet's ‘45%c; No. 2 barley, | sonable quieting down of the spring demand for and movement of merchandise, come proofs that the spring business of the year 159, with a few notable exceptions, has largely met ex- pectations. Particularly confirming this latter view of the situation are the heavy totals of bank clearings, large railway earnings, heavy €Xports, & total of fallures well down to the normal and exceptional steadiness In_prices, following the notable advances reg! some time ago. Weak or lower prices for a number of cereals during the last week, in the fuce of & heavy export business, point to the very good crop prospects for Wheat and other grains, In- fluencing_holders toward parting With thelr stocks. Statistics of pigiron production polnt to a slight reduction in output during the month just closed, due largely to shut down for repalrs, but the nature of stocks to ac- i cumulate gives proof that the immense rece production has been met by an equally large consumptive demand. The leading feature of the week In the lron trade has been the col lapee of thq so-called ‘‘gentlemen’s agreement in the Southern iron industry, and prices are lower as & consequence, but an advance in | Bessemer pig is taken to Indicate that th makers are getting in better shape to control the m-tfu! than for some time past. The fea- tures of the Iron and stee] trade are the numer- ous small orders, amounting to & fairly large | sggregate for {mmediate delivery, ad the booking of & number of orders for finished | products for export, but new business on nex ‘sen‘sm‘l's account does not come forward very quickly. Following the little spurt in the demand for raw wool, largely in army orders, has come | | & perceptibly less active demand for this staple | fat the East, and the unsatisfactory conditions | in the manufacturing trades are reflected In talk of curtailment of production. Features of the price situation this week are the steadiness of nearly all classes of groceries, of raw cotton and prices of print cloths and o hides, leather and lumber, while decreases are reported in cereals, pork, copper and steel rails, Cereal exports are slightly smaller than last week, but are still ‘above the total in the corresponding weeks of previous years. Wheat exports this week aggregate 4740682 bushels, against 5,243,000 bushels last week, 1080, bushels in the week & year ago, 2,922,000 bush- els In 169 and 1781,000 bushels in 1895 Corn exports_for the week are 4,774,304 bush- els, against 6,605,000 bushels last week, 2,398,000 bushels in this week a year ago, 1,636,000 bush- els in 159 gnd 656,000 bushels in 1686 Business failures in the Dominion of Canada this week number 26, against 21 last week, 38 in this week a vear ago, % in 1599 and 21 in 1%, Business fatlures this week number 221 an In- crease over last week of 43, but comg-rln%wllh a total in this week last year of 256, in 1598 of 1284, in 1895 of 282 and in 1594 of 237 DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADRE. NEW YORK, June 10.—R. G. Weekly Review of Trade will s The certainty that the Spanish fleet 18 prisoned and powerless to do harm has helped to make the tone of the markets more confl- dent. Every step of progress during the week which has looked toward an early termination of the struggle has been reflected in the mar- | ket and i lower rates for money. All indus- | tries have felt the uplifting influence. In finances the growing anxiety to lend on even | long exchange at lower rates, in place of ship- ments of gold to this country, Legins to a cumulate a standing credit in favor of United States. A stronger situation it would | be ditficult to describe. Men have been buying | and selling stocks with some blindness, though | the course of events has all the time warranted | a higher market. Other countries have yet to | pay In some way an enormous balance to the | United States on merchandise transactions and | it will save speculators much trouble and loss to_keep the fact in mind, Men talk as if wheat had gone down out of sight, but the collapse of the May speculation | has only made it more evident that the out- | side world requires nearly if not quite all the wheat this country can spare. Last week At- lantlc exports, flour included, were 4,206,923 bushels, against 1,634,602 Jast vear, and Pacific exports’ were 23,713, against 126,212 last yeas and it is close to the end of the season. Over 210,000,000 bushels of wheat has already been exported and almoet 200,000,000 bushels of corn, 4,134,800 bushels during the past week, against 1,787,085 last year, and the market is justified in feeling that those who have gone so far be- | yond all precedent in defying current reports are entitled to pay for it. Iron and steel production has declined be- cause several establishments have stopped for repairs. Yet the weekly output June 1, 226337 | tons, against 234,166 May 1. with the unsold | stocks, which decreased 15,142 tons during the month, indlcates & consumption weekly of 223,- tons, against 725,268 in April, so that the blest iron journals are in error in saying the | apparent consumption does ot keep pace with | the production of 1,000,000 tons monthly. East- | ern markets are much more embarrassed than before, while the Westerns are crowded beyond all precedent. But prices dre not changing in elther gection. The woolen manufacturers are buying no wool, and the sales at the three chief markets during the past week were only 2,549,300 pounds against 4,878,750 In 1892 But the demand for £00ds proves somewhat better in many direc- tions than was expected, and the Government requirements have compelled some manufac- turers to buy somewhat largely grgdes of.wool which they have not expectad to riquire. Tha auction sale of carpets, resulting In prices said to average 50 per cent below the last quota- | tions, does not encourage buying, and in carpet Wools the market is decidedly tame. itflures for the week have ‘been 8 In e United States against 262 last yi In Canada. against 3 Just year.

Harrison’s Circular says ‘‘This week thers have been four deliverles trom British Columbla with 16,802 tone of coal, five from Washington, 12,653 tons; two from Oregon, 1150 tons; one from Australla, 4200 tons; total, 24,305 tons. Our coal arrivals this Wweek are 7000 tons in excess of the deliveries here of last week. There are five transports now coaling and ten more already engaged, Which will leave this month; these combinedly Wil require about 25,000 tons for Government use. This may serve to reduce our stocks In yard somewhat, still if our Northern shipments are not diminished thera will be no marked scarcity for this month. It must be remem- bered the diverting of eighteen steamers (three have already left) from their usual channels of trade, will for the moment draw consider- able fuel from our reserve, but it will be some time before they will return here and again become consumers, whereas in their regular currency of business locally, they would in the course of a few months have burnt up much | more. There are several overdue cargoes of | Australian, which constitute aboug all the coal to arrive here this month from all sources ex- cept our Northern collieries. With such a limited number ¢¢ supply points, and thosa concentrated In a very few hands, it is to be | wondered at that the Government purchases | have been made so low.
