Otherwise there s noth- sation of the war had relatively little effect The situatioa is, however, relieved of very serious doubts; there will be no further big bond issues, and the possibility of international complications is more remote than at any | time since the war began. Home conditions | are unchanged. We ha #0 frequently re- marked upon the improved agricuitural, indus- trial and commercial condition of the country that repetition is unneccessary. Nothing ex- cept unforeseen troubles can prevent a higher | stock market. At the moment tue market re- fuses to move upward with any degree of force, Dbecause the big leaders are not prepared to take the initiative. X are a ; and the best leaders wisely prgfer to wait until the critical period of the crop situation is safely passed. Should no vigorous damage happen, the upward movement is likely to be Vigo: ously renewed W out apposition. An important fi or in the situation will be the large increase of gold production. Accord- ing to the Mint Bureau at Washington the world’s product of gold in 1847 was $240,000,000, and the product @f 1598 is timated at 000,000, an Increase of $35,000,000. Africa leads as a_gold producer, and is expected to turn 75,000,000 this year. Australla and the ates ars close competitors as gold producers, each being expected to turn ont about $60,000,000 this year. The Klondike is not proving of the importance anticipated. The most careful estimates are for a product of $10,000,000 in 1 ch is smaller than | elther California or Colorado; -alifornia’s prod- | uct this vear being estimated at $17,000,000 and | Colorado’ at 000. en years ago the world's gold prodt was $110,000,000. Since then It has been more than doubled, and now amounts, as just said, to about 000, 000. This does not look like any scarcity of the precious metal, especially considering the pros- | Pects of new supplles and the increasing use of other forms of money. Certainly there will be no scarcity of gold in the United States; for in | additicn to our increasing -output and the Klondike supply we are likely to have a large influx of gold in settlement of our trade bal- The latter n be settled by returning which s not lkel. by an out- pital into reign coun- T to some extent now that | the war Is over; or by the sending of gold, that being the most probable outcome. Ev tly, then, we are sure of having an abund- e of gold In the country. At the same time the banks are anxious to expand their circula- tion as soon as they can secure sufficlent of the new 3 per cent bonds: so the prospects are acurities, of American tries, which may occ for an abundance of cheap money for some time to come, and-we need hardly inform our | clients that this is a powerful aid to a rising | market.”" | PUBLIC DEBT AND CASH.

Sgui EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—To-day’s business on the Stock Exchange was the largest for many months. Trading was very broad and compre- hensive and the tone of speculation extremely varied. The general undertone continued un- usually strong. The decline in prices was not allowed to proceed to any great length before dullness ensued, and in a short time a renewed demand would carry prices upward again, gen- erally on a much smaller volume of business than on which they had declined. Business was so large and so widely dlstributed that movements of specfal stocks had little influence on the general list and the market at times | showed excessive {rregularity. Even while large realizing was going on at one polnt an eager demand would spring up at another and keep the balance about even. Considering the large total of the day's transactions net changes are small. Orders placed with com- mission houses to buy stocks were large this morning and more generally distributed than at any time since the rise set in. This outside demand was fed with a steady stream of stocks which obilterated the opening gain be- fore the end of the first hour. A large part of the outside orders especially in the grangers were attributed to Western account. This buy- ing was induced by the unexpectediy favorable character of the Government crop report. Realizing was on a greater scale in Burlington and Rock Island than in the other grangers, possibly due to the comparatively less favor- able showing of the corn crop. The advance in Atchison preferred brought out such a flood of offerings that the demand seemed to be abandoned largely and turned to other low- priced stocks. A number of preferred rallroad #tocks which have not yet come to the full dividends to which they are entitled and some of the junior stocks on which a surplus over referred stock has been earned but not dis- ursed were especiaily prominent. Northern Pacific common was the leader in the late speculation at an advance of 2 points, and Deaver preferred rode atfons time 1i4: <The in- dustrial specialties were irregular. Sugar was at one time above 140, while Manhattan fell as low as 105 and was depressed all day. There were heavy offerings of bonds at times, especially of recently reorganized roads, a con- siderable part of the selling being attributed to foreign account. Total sales $4,320,000. United States new fours coupon declined % and the threes when lssubd ndvanced % in the bid price.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. v s | CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Instead of showing de- terforation in the condition of spring wheat during the month, as expected, the Government crop report made an improvement of 1.5 polnts. That caused the price of September to drop %c under vesterday's close, opening trades being | at G%@foc. After this expression of bearish feeling, the market commenced to mend a little, the receipts at various Western markets indicating that no increase in the movement had yet set In. The aggregate at the principal primary markets was 880,500 bushels, against 07,000 bushels the year before. This striking deficiency, together with an eager demand for shipping parcels, worked the price of Septem- ber up to §5%c. It was reported from Kansas City that No. 2 hard was up 4c a bushel there, and as there appeared a probability of another decrease in the visible the market became very. strong after many changes of front. December was depressed from beginning to end and wound up %c lower for the day. September closed Jc higher. Corn was influenced by the Government re- port, showing only 3.5 reduction in condition after all that had been heard of serious dam- age. The recuperative buoyancy of wheat near the close brought out some buying orders in corn and the ciosing figures were the best of the day. September closed %@%c lower than yesterday. _Oats followed the other grains, closing unchanged to 4 down. Provisions started weak with corn. A good cash demand Leather preferred, 7600 Rubber, 17,800 Western Unton. CLOSING STOCKS. Atchison . . WBBtPM&EM B4y Do prefd . . 8%!
