This was the occasion for some selling of the granger stocks during the week. The Chinese troubles also continued to look very grave, though at the beginning of the week the disposition in London and the other foreign financial centers was to look On the absence of news from Peking as & good rather than a bad sign. Lon- sales of American stocks were partly counterbalanced by renewed purchases, and it was noted that all of the foreign offerings have been very well taken. In fact, the market, though narrow and at times a very dull one, has shown a considerable degree of under- lying strength, and this activity was in con- nection with the advances of several prominent trading stoc like Union Pacifi Baltimore and Ohio common, Illinois Central, Norfolk and Western and Sugar. In the case of the two first-mentioned securities the movements were based on renewsd reports of favorable action in connection with dividends, the expectation being that both stocl will be placed on a 4 per cent basis. The declaration of a 2 per 1t semi-annual dividend on Louisville and Neshville had a favorable effect, although it vras about what had been confidently looked for. The disposition of the etreet, in fact, is to take a more cheerful view of raliroad dividend rospecte. e fona market, too, 1s bare of offerings and In some cases prices for favorite, moder- «teiy high issues have fully recovered the amount of their July coupons in the past fort- night. - Bradstreet's on Trade. P - NEW YORK, July 13.—Bradstreet’s to-mor- row will say: While trade {s still only of mid- eummer volume, the beginning of improvement in @emands are apparently becoming visible. The imarovement is still one of tone, rather than of demand, but with a yleld of 50,000,000 bushels of wheat, a next to record-breaxing ield of corn and a very large production of s, the Western crop situation contains many features. The Southern cotton crop. are unprecedentedly Jow for this season of the vea t the acreage planted was a leading one and prices are so much higher that a satisfac- ancial retyrn is confidently looked for. addition, rallroad earnings point to the maintenance of the business of the country at a volume in excess of last vear. The effort of the big iron and steel concerns to control prices. if really made, has proven bortive and stations & to be reported this week. Produc- tion, however, is falling off and increases of & . though considerable. would seem small if_renéwed activity occurred. 1t is to see how lower prices can be ex- pected and it 1s said that present quotations are attracting some business, particularly at Chi- q e industrial situation is rather better as a result of agreements upon Wages by a number of iron and steel manufacturing concerns and their employes. Lower prices for lumber are apparently inducing more activity ing, though how much is due to this or how much to the settlement s labor disturbances is_hard to measure, Wheat, including flour, shipments for the | week aggregate 2,520,910 bushele, against 3,018,- | 32 bushels last ‘week, 3.263,8 corresponding week in 1809, 1898, 1,522,062 bushels in' 1897 and 2,963,049 bushels in 189%6.

G. Dun & Co."s | Weekly Review of Trade will say: If the great increase in faflures to $100,570,134 in the first half of 1900, against $49,664,661 last year, and especially to $43,§92,079 in the second quarter, against §21,595,635 last year, gave occa- slon for diligent search, failure returns will be But to-day it is shown that thirty banking failures for $25,822652 against thirty-one last year for $§7,601,72§ accounted for much of the difference; that 265 brokerage and real estate failures for $22,122,346 against 145 last year for only $2,325,215 accounted for another part, and that in building and lumber working trades other large failures distinctly connected with those in real estate explain much more of the difference between manufacturing and trade failures last vear and this. In these and much less important changes in a few other lines are seen substantially all the cam- mercial disasters as “yet resulting from the amazing rise in prices last year, followed by past few months to get a normal state of busi- ness. When this is seen and the remarkable steadiness in number and size of the great mafority of faflures not for exceptional amounts, there appears ground for espec satisfaction that business has been on the whole soundly conducted under conditions of un- usual danger. The Tron Age makes the output of pig 253,413 tons weekly up to July 1, but the decrease of 16,000 tons has by this time been exceeded, other furnaces having stopped this month, and repairs of works and wage scales may yet occupy some weeks. The increase of 86,958 tons in stocks unsold implies a decrease in’ manufacture more than double the decrease in output and the works of five of the great cor- porations are waiting for a decline in wages just when the workers have looked for an fn- crease. Onen markets are now admitted at Pittsburg, where quotations have been for some time nominal and Bessemer DI is offered there at $16. Structural makers decided not to re- duce prices, but steel bars there and plates at Philadelphia are said to have sold at $115 in same cases. The sheet works open Monday with large orders. Coke works, about 18 per cent idle, have no demand now, and in con: tracts {t is sald that even $2 50 would be shaded, Wool is growing weaker and even offered by some Westerners at prices which were refused not long ago. but the mills don’t yet know ‘what goods they will be able to sell and from a temporary idieness there seems to be no os. cape. The end of the crop year has brou usual estimate, which command no mus Goa dence than usual. If the country gets out of a crop officially called 547,000,000 bushels ail it wants for food and seed, ‘and 200,000,000 busheis for export, with considerable left over In sight, it Is the easy infererce that anxlety is need ess. There 1s no evidence as vet, and for some time to come cannot be, that injurles sustained have been as great as some supposed, 8o that alarm is not more necessary than It was last year. Failures for the week have been 196 in the United States, against 169 last year, and 2 Canada, against 24 last year. i Review of Monzy Market. NEW YORK, July 13.—The Evening Post -:I:Ahnh-\ edvance in the price for de- another wholesale siashine of | in build- | mand sterling to-day revived discussion in Wall street of possible gold exports. The bid price for demand bills, $4 86%, brought the rate above international parity and within range of ents if conditions abroad should become sufficlently urgent to Justify the allowance of “‘interest in transit. One foreign exchange house said that to-day's market looked like shipments next week if the present tendency toward higher rates should be maintained. A rumor was current that one banking house was actually figuring on a ship- ment by next week’s steamer. A prominent house said it was too early to predict where the gold would go in case a shipment should be negotiated; higher money prevailed in Eng- land and discount was easier in Berlin. Parls, it 1s believed, will get some gold by next Thurs- day’s steamer if negotiations go through. No gold has been shipped from here to Europe since Juna 21, the total exports of that week from New York having been $,251,000, most of which, §3.500,000, went to Germany. Berlin was at that time in financial straits, its money market rullni at 5% per cent and its exchange on London having fallen consider- ably. The market has eased stnce then, as to- reduction of 3 per cent in the Imperial Bank of Germany’s officlal rate shows. But Paris exchange to London, which in June stood at 25t 12%c to the pound sterling, about the usual point when gold goes to France from London, has subsequently fallen 2c further, j and it is estimated that on a ‘‘triangular opera- tlon” this very low Parls rate would offset the | low point of New York exchange as the spe- cial inducement offered by Berlin 4id last month. The last gold shipment to Germany was arranged with sterling at $ 86%, or %HC above to-day’s rate. New York Money Market. NEW YORK, July 18.—Close: Money on call, quiet, at 1%@2 per cent.

It seems that the Prunes have stopped | growing and are turning yellow, in addition to the serious drop already mentioned.
