NEW YORK, July 8.—The builish sentiment on the Stock Exchange was unmistakable to- day and carried prices aggressively upward | during the two hours’ session, routing the | bears and defeating their rather feeble efforts | to_ work a reaction. Some professional traders | ‘were skeptical about the character of the buy- | ng of the last two days, regarding it as a | maneuver to attract outside buying to realize | on, and they attempted to check the advanc- | ing tendency by renewing yesterday's attack on the coalers. This group of stocks proved easy victims on account of the demoralized condition of the anthracite industry owing to | the increasing competition of gas as fuel and | the extreme cheapness of bituminous coal. The | losses ranged from 134 to 2%4. This drive against | the coalers did, in fact, unsettle the market | and induced some profit-taking on the two | days' advance. But the character of the buy- Ing at the decline made it evident that the stocks absorbed during the last two days had been taken for something more than & fras. | Sunday; probably ¢ YO IRAIN AN . | LONDON, July s—Consols, 11%; Silver, e e el e o P e NEW YORK.

The check to the ad- | vance brought only small ofterings, which were easily absorbed, and the market was £00n moving upwards again under the {no fluence of the persistent and urgent demand for the Vanderbilts. The buying of New York Central was most conspicuous, though the movement in the price was not as pronounsed as In some of the allled roads. Buying e where in the pit was less urgent, thotgh it was good, part of it evidently being covering of short contracts put out earlier in the day. The bank statement was regarded as favorable and helped on the advance. Some effort was necessary to sustain prices to the close in the face of a one-point break In Sugar, but the close generally was firm at the top prices, net gains ranging {rom a fraction to 3 per cent. The bond market was fairly strong. United States new 4s (coupon) advanced 14, the old 45 (coupon) ¥, the old 4s (registered) % in the bid price.

CHICAGO, July 9.—Fine weather for har- vesting and the threshing s‘arted wheat weak. The Michigan State crop report gave the pros. pective yleld at 4,000,000 bushels more of wheat than raised by that State last year. The Gov- ernment weekly crop bulletin for South Da- | kota sald a decided improvement in condition of wheat had occurred-since the preceding re- | port and the harvest promiced to be from ten days to two weeks earlier than usual. Thresh- Ing was reported to be quite general through- out the winter wheat country and the pros- pect was for a much more general movement of the crop to market within the next ten days. This, together with the slackness of specula- tion, caused liquidation and short selling. Later | there was a recovery in September on higher later Liverpool cables, which started the early short sellers covering. But the fact that free shipments of new wheat were predicted for the near future and a generally bearish sentiment, ‘Which could not be shaken off, caused the price Market igins, 16%@ Firm; West- 1 stronger than the other months on the good price that was paid for the cash article. July closed unchanged and September lost 4@%e. Lower cables, improved weather and crop reports, liquidation of longs and lack of for- eign demand caused an easier feeling in corn. July declined .
