Long wooled stock advanced a farthing, fine Western %d. Coarse grades were unchanged BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL REVIEW, NEW YORK, Aug. Bradstreet's financial review to-morrow will say: At the beginning of the present week there was an apparent accession of fresh outside speculative buying, but as the week progressed this fell off again and the market reverted to ite former condition of duliness. The profes- sional interests which are responsible for the greater part of transactions generally seemed inclined to bull the market, but this attitude was In a certain degree modified by the con- tinued firmness of the monay market, which holds Its recent advance and gives no sign of enlarged supplies or a renewal of its former ex- treme ease. There has been, indeed, no strin- gency, and fears that the needs of the crop moving season, together with the activity of general business, may result in decided scar- funds, are not serfously considered. It is, however, admitted that extremely low rates for money Wwith which to carry securities is at an end, and the 4l per cent rate for time money, which has taken the place of the re- cent figure of 3 per cent or less for such accom- modations causes conservatism in regard to of securities, which al- ready sell at higher prices. The break in for- eign exchange this week, Indicating that this country retains its position as a creditor nation and that gold may be expected to come this way from Europe in the autumn, was regard- but had no practical effect on speculative sentiment or activity. The very favorable character of the June statements of several large raflroad systems and the con- tinuance of increases in the gross earnings of their current weeks keep up the of holders in the granger and other properties, checking any tendency to lquidate. There has, however, been much less disposition to manipu- Jate properties of this kind in the face of higher money and the attentions of like nature have heen again directed to the industrial stocks and specialtics, though the success of efforts to once more attract public iInterest in them Is as vet not succeeding. The principal bear fhctor outside of the money market situ- ation was the appearance of yellow fever at a | of | Southern port. This led to some selling shares on raflroads considered likely to suffer from the outbreak of a genuine epidemic, but the needlessness of fear on this score soon be- came apparent and deprived the matter of much influence. The subsidence of the recent strikes and the comparative freedom from symptoms of further labor troubles has been “street” as a favorable sign | London took little part in this market, though at the beginning of the week there was some buying of our stocks there, said to be on or- ders from this side. It {8 noted that recent large shipments of American securities from London to New York were partly due to the imposition of new and increased stamp duties by the British Government upon transfers of stock. BRADSTREETS' ON TRADE CONDITIONS. NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will fay: All conditions indicate the maintenance of general trade and industry in an unprecedent- ed midsummer volume. Especially fndicative of this are the continued very heavy bank clearing returns, largely increased railroad earnings, reflecting a traflic in grain and mer- chandise generally far In excess of a year | ago; reports of activity in numerous lines of manufacturing industry, notably in all branches of iron and steel and kindred lines, woolen goods, boots and shoes and cotton goods and advices from leading markets of a satisfactory opening of the regular fall de- mand, with heavy shipments of goods ‘on or- ors. > With the exception of good products, the price situation is generally one of maintained strength, advances being most numerous in the | tually ok 5 ) York the gold it needs; ex: o 5 $1,000,000 | unlike 1,038,507 Spokane 1,173,601 Sioux City New Bedford......

CHICAGO, Aug. 4—The Liverpool market | | was the guiding star of wheat traders to-day. | A real surprise came from the English mar- ket, quotations there being about %d higher, a | condition not looked for in view of the de- | cline here yesterday. This was afterward ex- plained on the ground of advanced ocean | freight rates, but it had its effect on npml!ng\‘ | 1 | ! prices here, September starting at 63%c, an advance of %c. A momentary dip to 69ic fol- | lowed, but good buying by shorts, mostly lo- resulted in a gradual advance to 6¥X@ 63%c, the highest point reached during the session. Besides the strength shown by Liver- pool prospective buyers were encouraged by continued crop damage reports from the North- | west and by Snow’s crop summary, which made | Le condition of spring wheat %5 'per cent, or | five points less than June 1. This indicated a | total crop of about 275,000,000 bushels, but in- | terest in the market soon died out. The cash | demand was almost nothing and only a moder- ate demand was reported from the seaboard. | The Northwest, which was a seller in this | market, reported the flour trade quiet and the | | first rish of winter wheat apparently over. The buying demand dwindled to almost noth- ing during the middle of the session, and at- tempts to realize on early purchases were at- tended with considerable difficulty. Septem- ber slowly declined to 69G63%c and hung around that price until about noon, when the sudden strength of corn put some life into wheat and resulted In a steady advance, which was continued to the close, September advanced to 69%@69%c and closed at 69%c, an advance of %ec. z Corn was fairly active. At thé opening the | market was firm and higher on continued hot | Wweather damage reports. The cash demand was excellent. Near the close the shorts went | | to cover, bidding the market up rapidly.
