NEW YORK, July 15.—The Evening Pos London financial cablegram says: The stock markets were firm during the day, but closed dull. Spanish 4s touched 35%, but closed at 37, the bonds being offered for sale on disquieting reports from Madrid about the proclaiming of a military dictatorship. Americans fell back to-day in the absence of New York support, not the least inclination being ehown here to buy. Many, however, still showed gains on the day. Stagnation ruled in other markets. CLOSING. nadlan Pacific, §7%; Grand Trunk, 7%; Bar LONDO! Silver, steady, 27 5-16d per ounce; Money, % per | cent, FINANCIAL REVIE NEW YORK, —Bradstreet's Finan- clal Review will : More than customary irregularity prevailed in the market this week. At its conclusion there was marked weakness developed on the basis of the surrender of Santiago and the apparent willingness of the Madrid Government to negotiate. Before this point had been reached, however, the market passed through several changes of speculative sentiment. In the beginning of the week it July 15 | was strong on the bellef that Santiago would soon be taken, but by Wednesday it experi- enced a depression on the reports of a yellow fever outbreak among the American troops | there. At the same time there has been a | strong undertone, though the public_has been inactive, and London was, up to Friday, a considerable seller here. Activity in the stock Iist has also suffered from the stamp tax and the professional element in the board room and “street” have adoptedsbonds as a speculative vehicle, owing to the fact that transactions in the latter are not subjected to the stamp tax. . This resuited in very active buying in a number of classes of raflroad bonds, the trans- fer of speculative intention to that part of the market having a tendency to improve values of bonds all around. There was the best atten- tion paid to matters apart from war news than for sonté weeks back. The great success of the Government bond subscription must, how ever, be counted among the bullish factors and has given financial interests generally de- satisfaction. The absence of disturb- ance in the money market from this cause would prevent it having, however, any imme- diate effects upon speculation, though the be- lief 1s that the success of the loan and fts having been entirely absorbed by individual subscribers, will bring large amounts of cor- poration funds, which have been held to pa for new bonds, back Into the general in | ment market. The crop news and rumors have ceased to be much of a factor in the market, but, on the other hand, a good deal of atten- tion has been paid to the reports of rate cut- ting, which, with the decreases in gross earn- roads are displaying for the bearish sentiment not taken the er and trunk line On the contrary, its effect has been to turn the speculation more completely toward industrials and bonds, while the weak feature was supplied by coal stocks. ings which man; NEW YORK GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, July 15—Wheat started with prices a shade easfer on lower Liverpool cables and exceptionally fine weather for threshing and marketing the new grain. The weakness did not last long, however, as the Corn mar- ket quickly developed strength on a report that the Corn was not affected by drought in many sections, and this soon had its reflec- tion in Wheat. It was found while the arriv: of new Wheat were on the increase they could by no means be called liberal, and w being taken freely. This, together with the fact till holds at a blg premium, caused ng reluctance to sell September at the discount, and shorts were disposed to cover, This businese of coyering was largely by the scalping element. The big traders heid off, recently having little confidence in the present ftrength and yet feeling that the short eide | was hardly safe 8o long as the new crop was moving 5o slowly and the premium s0 well maintained. There was not much Wheat for and hence the comparative firmness. Sep- tember closed %@%c higher. Continued dry weather, with favorable pros- pect of more of it, was sufficlent to affect the Corn market for an advan The opening trades were at about yesterday's closing figures but quickly began to ! rove, and while some realizing sales caused reaction after a lc advance, the strongest phase was in the mar- ket during the last half hour.

G. eekly Review of Trade will say row's issue: and Europe's quick appreclation of the feat, the wearying flags of truce at Santiago and at last the surrender, have all influenced some d by day. But Americans have Dun & Co.'s in to-mor- w - ters greatly enables them to market $1,210,274,015 worth of domestic products abroad in a year, against 12,844 worth imported. The new loan has a stupendous success, over $1,309,000,000 aving been subscribed, and It is now the question of chief interest whether any banks | will get enough, after personal subscriptions have been accepted, to support further circula- tion. Industries and business are at the natu- rally lowest point for the vear, and therefore the records are the more impressive. The decrease in the output of pigiron from S tons weekly June 1, to 216311 July 1, ly due to usual steppages for repairs a hefore July 1, carries with it a decrease 215 tons weekly In uneold stocks. If the first and last of the month so presented the average production, the quantity consumed in facture would be 3.8 per cent less than highest ever attained in May, a small de- but, in fact, the aver- production was larger and the decrease in consumption was smaler. tion is customary very many mills are crowded with orders for months, the Illinofs rail mills until December or later, with sales this week of 15,00 tons, and structural works with a few demand appears for c demand for bars at the West. A heavy sale of billets from Pittsburg to Eastern Pennsylvania at a concession of 50 cents is the only real de- cline in quotations, though Eastern steel bars are a shade lower. It {s still between seasons for wool, but a few larze purchases indicate some d for woolen goods is better, though prices for come have been reduced and the competition as to serges seems likely to be excessive. Sales of wool were but 7,441,000 pounds, 5,521,200 being domestic, for two weeks of July, against 24,- 572,800 pounds last year, of which 11,965,600 we: domestic. One sale of 1,500,000 pounds of Tes ritory at prices lower than are being pald by Boston partles in Montana looks like business in the future. Wheat has been dropping in price under estimates of 680,000,000 to 700,000, 00 bushels this year, which seem to be at least well warranted, 88 over conservative estimates | came from the same parties Tast year. West- ern receipts are moderate as yet, but the At- lantlc exports for the weel were 1,719,759 bush- ela, flour included, against 1,6114% last year, and Pacific Const exports 521,514 bushels, against 136,763 bushels last year, and for two weeks the exports from both coasts have been 4,984,412 bushels, against 3,567,909 last year. The forefgn outiook has much {mproved and the decline in price during the week was about for pot and 8%c for nearest option. lures for the week ending July 7 were 09,743 _trading. Faiflures for the week have been 215 in the United States, against 263 last vear, and in Canada 23, ngainst 27 last year. BRADSTREET'S REVIEW. NEW YORK, July 15.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Pending the initiation of new fall business, preparations for which are ac- tively under way in many markets, there ex- ista quite a midsummer condition, accom- panted, however, in most cases by price steadi- | ness and confidence in a promlising outiook for fall trade. Retrospection and review continue to furnish many transactory illustrations of the favorable conditions during the first half of the present year, some of which seem bound 10 be duplicated during the second half. While there was 11ttie reason to expect anything like the excited buying of cereals this year which occurred last season, the world's wheat crops all pointing to exceptionally large if not record breaking ylelds, still the situation of carried | suppites, visible and Invisible, fs such as to lead to confidence In n good demand for most of this country's surplus, though the out- look favors a constderable shading of prices obtained from such products. There 1s a little more hopeful feeling in the tron and steel trade, the result partly® of re- duced output and stocks on pig, and partly ow- e to the. large uniness” reported oftering. Vest, will forego thelr usual summer shutdowns, and others will curtail the vacation period materi- ally. More 18 doing in stesl, and some Western mills are reported booked for orders until next win- Some large_export orders are reported from Chicago. Except for some shading in cerenls, caused by the usual tendency to dis- count Government crop reports and look for larger than indicated crop vields, the price situation 1s one of considerable ~steadiness. Contradictory reports come as to the volume of export trade in wheat and corn at the de- cline, but a good business for this time of the year is undoubtedly doing. The movement of new wheat at the Southwest is also freer, though farmers are rather independent at pres- ent prices. Trade continues of a midsummer dullness at the East, but more inquiry for raw wool is a feature, and prices are well maintained on a fairly large business for this time of the year. Features of the trade movement at the West ov | are the proposed demand for iron and steel at Chicago.
