Reports of ex- panding fall demand arrive, accompanied by very cheerful advices as to the outlook in most parts of the country. In manufacturing lines production appears to be at a maximum and the price situation retains most of its old strength. Notable {n the matter of added strength are most of the cereals and iron and steel in many forms. The impetus given to'| whewd prices by the Government report last week has been further reinforced by less fa- vorable crop advices from other countries, notably India, and export business is reported somewhat improved. Advices as to the corn crop are still as favorable as ever, some States, notably Kansus, reporting phenomenaily large yields” Judging from numerous reports, the scarcity of supplies of iron and steel is becom- ing increasingly serious, supplies of structural and shipbuilding yaterial being reported inade- Guate at a number of points. There s an ap- pearance of quiet at Bastern markets, not shared inhowever, by Western centers, where sales are reported large and price advances nu- merous. The question of outlook s to prices seems fo be largely transferred to next year, and liberal bookings are reported for the first quarter of 1900, with 3ome Southern engage- ments reported running as far anead as au- tumn a vear from now. A notable exception to the general strength to prices is found in raw cotton, which has disregarded almost unani- mously reports of crop deterioration and lost all of last week's advance owing to the issu- ance of a bearish crop estimare, which from the present outlook at least seems very heavy and_at the least prematurely led.

The Tobacco stocks also rose sharply, American common selling up to 125 and Continental Tobacco (common) to 50% on the statement that the two concerns had ac- quired control of the Buchanan and Lyall manufactory. Other rather tentative bull ements were seen in varfous industrials, | wear gooods continue; heavy and raw wool, though less active, is no less firm, and high grades are particilarly well held.’..The ad- vance in boots and shoes geems to have been felt but little, and the elight gain in leather prices imparts a very firm tone to hides. Most- Staplee, aside from those mentioned, are firm and unchanged on the-week. Lumber still re- flects activity in. building, and advences at Western markets are again reported. Current railroad earnings’ show little reflection of the falling off in the grain movement and make ex- céllent comparisons with preceding years, and the like is true of net earnings, mentioned else- | where.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say to-morrow: The Cramps have discharged many hundred hands and ask Russia to extend time for the completion of two warships because they can- not get the steel. Completion of 21 out of $7 vessels building in the Delaware {8 also affect- ed. It Is a curious experience for this country, but shows the gigantic expansion of home de- mand. No one can question the fact that pay- ments through the principal clearing houses have been in August 5.9 per cent larger than In 187 for the month thus far, and outside New York 23 per cent. No better test of the. volume of business is”known, but there is a growing handicap in the advance of prices. How long and how far this advance can go without reaction is the problem which level- headed business men are studying. Ewvldences of checked consumption are rare, but it would be childish to hope that at some point higher prices would not hinder buying. In*iron the question is of steel billets, which the great consuming compenies have = bought fardn advance, so that all new orders have a narrow market. For ix months billets have 0ld at $4 to 36 higher than the rails made from them. Other demands not covered by contracts are malnly for various shapes and sizes only prescribed in contracts. : While prices have risen 25 cents for Southern pig iron, 50 cents for Chicago local coke and 75 cents for gray forge at Pittsburg, rails have advanced §1 per ton ered for all this year, and 400,000 tons or more taken beyond what ‘can be de- levered until next year.- Other finished prod- ucts do not change, although the demand at all points exceeds present capacity. Copper is steady at i8lc for lake, with production for July 21,333 tons domestic and 7490 tons forelgn. Tin is lower at 30%c and lead weakens on the stoppage of smelter strike. For wool Coates Bros.’ circular for August 1 still holds good, although inside quotations are | more often made.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—Liverpool, always an infiuence on local wheat trading, showed an opening decline of %d, which was unlooked for after yesterday's advance here, and had the re- sult of depressing prices about Jc at the open- ing, September starting at 71%@71%ce. The sell- ing’ pressure, however, came AImost entirely from small speculators and was of a local na- ture. It was not heavy enough to long depress prices, and soon after the opening the market began to rise and for the remainder of the ses- slon showed considerable firmness. Reports of a big cash business done yestepday, Industri- ously denied by the bear crowd, were confirmed to-day and the influence of the cash demand was augmented by further heavy bids to-day. The actual amount of business done could not be ascertained, as shippers would not give out thelr transactions untll frefxht rates had been secured, but rumors of large quantities worked were 80 thick that they had a marked effect on speculation. Heavy ralns were reported in the Northwest, and apprehension of wheat sprouting and being otherwise damaged in- creased the demand. Another and more bullish feature of the Northwest news was the con- tinued disappointing thrashing reports, which strengthened the helief that recent crop esti- mates were too large. St. Louls and local shorts bought heavily at times and this bulled the market, bringing the smaller fry to cover. September ‘advanced to 72, well above calls, but realizing sent it to 71%@7%c, where it | closed, an advance of $c over yesterda; Corn was firm for September, barely steady for later months and dull for all.

We } ad lib- eral arrivals this week, still the accumulations |in vard are not noti in n some | yards there s not a on hand. The coal is procurable, rs are‘not hy | to be had, as t ail amers cannot be | chartered;’ they b diverted to other | lines of business, than coul | transportation. The of foreign coal that can po arrive_within the next thirty days will not foot up 25,000 tons, equal to about six days' consumption; this is exclu- sive of British Columbla" produc which might be classed as foreign.. This emphatically demonstrates how entirely we are at the mercy |-of the coast colleries for a fuel supply. In othier words, they control this miarket, for fully 75 per cent of the fuel e In this age of syndicates and combines; where the inter- | esta of the ‘dear public' are ruthlessly sacri- | ficed for the advantage of the few, It is gratify ing to make reference to an opening which Is not availed of. The coast coal managers num- ber about five, who can make the price of coals whatever they may elect, as 9 per cent of pur | fuel comes through them, vet they show no dis- | position to show their power."

P X3 Eggs and Cheese are dearer this week. But- ter remains unchanged. Fruits and Vegetables have been in enormous supply during the past ten days, and large quantities have been dumped into the bay and sent off in swill carts to clear the stores and wharves. It is the same every year at this time, when everything seems to get ripe at once, - but owing to the cold foggy weather, which has restricted the usual demand, the situatlon is worse this vear than usual. Con- ditions will probably improve next week, for the annual summer glut does not usually last over a fortnight at the longest. Poultry continues in liberal supply and cheap. Meats are about the same as last week, though Mutton and Lamb are higher in the whole- sale markets.
