WILLSON, Observer. 2 s NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. i NEW YORK, Aug.“16.—There was a still fur- | ther advance in the price of stocks all along the line to-day, and a still further increase in the number of shares sold during the day. ! The number of different stocks traded In was also larger, reflecting the broadening interest in the market. B ng orders from outside sources were placed with commission houses | more extensively to-day than on any day since | the movement began. As was the case yester- day this outside demand was taken advantage of to realize profits by the combination ot large ative interests which s all the time op- on an enormous scale, shifting its ac from one stock or group of stocks t The Grangers showed the effect of to-day and did not rise materially above yesterday's closing price at any time. S0 large were the offerings of these stocks dur- | ing the first hour of trading that the heavy outside demand proved insufficient to absorb them, and a sharp decline was the result. Bur- | lington dropped over a point. Offerings on a large scale were thereupon withheld, and the group maintained a firm tone at a lower level except at intervals of profit taking. The bears endeavored to take advantage of this move- | ment by an onslaught upon Manhattan and Sugar at the opening, hoping that the recent | persistent weakness of these two stocks would | make them vulnerable in hreaking prices. But | the bulls at the same time lifted the Northern | Pacific stocks a point each at the "opening, and marked up Kubber preferred 4% points The outside demand for stocks all through the iist was so active and varied as to lend ample support for continued profit tasing by the bul clique. The bears were soon routed and Man. ®hattan and Sugar moved upward along with the general list. Northern Pacific and the | Union Pacific stocks sagged at intervals, but the former returned persistently to the open- ing high level. An incident of the day was a notice on the tape of the loss of 1000 shares of Unton Pacific preferred In the name of Wil- liam Rockefeller. and there was also marked activity and strength in a long list of industrials. The close was firm and actl The demand for securities has apparently been largely diverted to the stock market, and bonds were comparatively dull to-day, but rices were very well held. Total sales, $3,575 United States threes when issued were e lower bid. Government bonds were otherwise unchanged.

I6.—Referring to the Fresno fire the Journal of Commerce say: Orders that were taken for early delivery can- not be filled by the firms whose plants have been destrowed and seeders in the East who have seriously felt coast competition are look- ing for a large increase In business as a result; but there are still two large companies at Fresno who, It is stated, have a capacity equal to any demand. It does not appear to be alto- gether certain that the ruined plants may not get into shape again in a very short time and | not a few n the trade here look upon the re- | ports of the damage done by the fire as some- what exaggerated. Consequently the market has not been materially affected, and while the feeling is firm there has been no change in quotations. AVAILABLE GRAIN SUPPLY.

Weak and BOSTON, Aug. 16.—There has been only a moderate business in the wool market this week, but no weakness is shown. The market | ie a waiting one and the present conditlons as | a whole appear to favor a good business in a short time. Territory wools are quoted steady | in price, as dealers are not disposed to concede values. 'Fleece wools are quiet for fine grades, but the call for quarter blood has shown an | increase. Australian wools are being more or less inquired for, but sales are moderate as a whole. The ruling price is yet below the cost | of import and holders are by no means anxious | to_sell out.

Exporters are paying §0c for club and 68 for blue stem, while millers pay 2@3c above thes figures. FOREIGN MARKETS. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—Wheat got a weak start trom Liverpool sending lower quotations, but there was & disposition during the first couple of hours to go slow on the selling side and take small profits on declines. The crowd during that time was evidently restrained from sell- ing freely by the fact that the increased move- ment that country advices had been predicting for a day or two had mot yet got beyond the stage of probabllity. The speculative market turned fearfully dull and there was no activity in the cash department of the business. The latter might have shown more Jife had stocks been heavier, but people who had bids at from | to 6c a bushel premfum over September in and No. 2 red winter could not get offers for | anything like the quantity there were orders for from the seaboard. Kansas City’s general | remark In answer to bids from here was that | | cash wheat or spot or for August shipment | mas scarce, as millers were paying better than | shipping rates for the moderate offerings from | farmers. This had some little effect in | ering by shorts than buying for long account. September closed %c higher and December ¢ lower to %c up. Great commission-house continued favorable weather and lower cables depressed corn. September left off %@ic down. In spite of considerable buying of the May future by the oatmeal trust oats put in the day following corn and prices barely held their own.
