The renewal of gold exports and the appearance of hardening tendencies in money caused, how- last few days and the market seemed more | disposed to pay attention to the grave interna- tional complications which may resuit from the trouble in’China. The reactions which were occurring in Rus- sian and other governmental securities, as well as those of China, have again unsettled the heavy seller of stocks here. The advance in on Thursday and the shipment of $2,000,000 gold from New York to Paris points to the fact that Europe is preparing for financial pressure this country. Our market is certainly inclined to regard the gold exportations without fear, particularly in view of the large influx of the metal from Alaska and the news of heavy wcie- shipments Ih progress or in prospect from Australia to San Francisco. It is recog- nized that American money Is relatively too low and that higher Interest will be but the proper protection against European demands, although with the abundance of capital in the of Wall street regarding any serious disturb- ance of money rates, even If European borrow- ings hers should assume much greater propor- tions. The news from Peking on Friday an- Ministers, had a favorable effect on the market at large and caused advances throughout the P ———————ll Bradstreet's on Trade. # NEW YORK, row will say: Improved crop conditions furnish the keynote of the trade and price movement. As a result of them, nearly all staple agricultural products are lower in price and at the same time a perceptible livening up of demand for fall de- livery s roted at the West, Northwest and South. The beginning of fall trade s conse- quently more clearly visible In the sections mentioned, while at the East the markets arc slow to experience this improvement and are consequently seasonably dull. Bank clearings # July 20.—Bradstreet's to-mor- ment in distribution, and rallway earnings, though of large volume, are, owing to compari- sons being made with exceptionally good re- sults last year, showing less notable increases both in gross and net returns. An increased cost of repairs, betterments, fuel and are unitedly responsible for this latter feature, because gross receipts for later periods reported show continued, though small, gains. Hog products’ have gone lower with corn, as has also wheat, in which continued liquida- tion has been noted, with the result of induc- ing partial return of the export inquiry ban- fshed from the market by the recent heavy rise. On the basis of & crop of 550,000,000 bush- els total erop, the outlook is that an of 152,000,000 to 150,000,000bushels will be possible ma- without reducing visible and farm suppl| Totals estimated ~heid om terially from tl July 1. Iron and Stel prices are evidently scraping on bottom, If reports from leading centers of cost of raw materfal and wages are correct. Bessemer pig at Pittsburg 1s on $17_basts with billets at $21 nst respectively $20 and 3 a year ago, so that much of the “boom’" prices have been cut. Eastern and Southern Iron markets are lower than a week ago, No. 1 Northern Foundry being off $iiper ton, and low grade Bouthern Iron is accumulating. A fa- vorable feature is the increasing number of “too, @ cargo leaving for o 2olog ly. Tin is cornered locally and higher on the week, while copper is firmer, racite Coal is steady and confidence in future prices is The textile situation s a mixed one. Present finished zlmlforrl'eoflmlfld _material not harmonize. troubles have checked export trade in brown cottons and a summer shutdown of mills producing these 800ds and print cloths fs looked for. The crop is emerging from the ‘‘grass” in £00d condition. An encouraging feature 1s the rather better inquiry for raw Wool at Boston, but manufacturers will not apparently do much until the lightweight season opens. Advices {rom the London sales are that the market has Tegained most of the loss shown earller in the season. Wheat, including flour shipments for the week, aggregate 3,029,381 bushels against 2,- 829,910 bushels last week, 3.405,073 bushels in the corresponding week of 1599, 2.503.469 bushels In 1898, 1,967,158 bushels in 1837 and 3,078,780 bushels in 1§%6. From July 1 to date this season Wheat exports are 8.75,123 bushels against 10,430,600 bushels. last season and 7.942,- 935 bushels in 1505-99. Business failures for the wéek number 202 against 221 last week, 174 in this week a year ago, 158 in 1865, 220 in 1897 and 250 in 18%6. Canadian fatlures for the week number 26, as compared with 19 In this week a year ago. Dun’s Review of Trade. —_— % NEW YORK, July 20.—R. G. Dun & Co." Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say The midsummer vacation bas already disposed of the prophets who gave it a ‘‘week or two," but there are few signs to indicate its prob- able duration. The compact of lake ore pro- ducers, in order to sell standard Bessemer ore below % 50 at lower lake ports this year with coke held at $2 50, much lessens the prob- ability that the market will wait for Bessemer PIE to g0 far below $15 and some increased buying has already appeared by makers of im- plements, not as yet In season contracts, but enough to give hope. Not much beyond walt- ing is probable until wages for the coming year can be scttled. The same extensive bulld- ing strikes which have cut off the use of much structural steel have prevented a vast use of | lumber, which was, like iron, extraordinarily | advanced in prices. The Eastern assoclation tried without avall to hold prices and the North Carolina Association caused extensive curtailment of output, while the Lake Asso- clation two weeks ago resolved to maintain prices, but the needed market does not yet appear. ‘When cotton had been easily held above 10 cents and then had dropped sharply a Liver- pool speculator again showed how easily Amer- icans are induced to accept higher prices for the quantity they have left for sale. The dry ®00ds market, quite embarrassed at the best, 18 not helped by such vagaries and the closing of important mfills was the more meritorious use it gave occasion at the end of a sea- son, with an oversupply here both of goods and material, to rest until Europeans bave séttled their ‘affairs. Without formal agree- ment the woolen industry adopted in part th same course, many mills having stopped or reduced force so that experts believe that less than haif the capacity is now at work because the nature of the next season’s demand does not yet appear. There has resulted more will- ingness to sell wool, especlally where ware- houses are not plenty and prices average fully 2 cents lower than in February, but manu- facturers are inguiring more earnestly just now to find out what goods they can s2ll rather than where they can ¥et materials. Further fmportant_changes, the exact nature of which may not be fully reported, are ap- pearing in the heavy decline of packer hides at Chicago, ranging ¥rom a quarter to half & Cent, with sales sald to be from 40,000 to 50,000, and also in heavy sales of leather to manu- facturers. The sharp fall cents in corn appears to reflect clusions, after hearing much evidence, official and uncficial, regarding the extent of injury to both grains. The shipments go on at a quiet and moderate pace, in three weeks from of 2 cents in wheat and 4| public con- Atlantic ports 5,661,501 bushels wheat, flour included, against 6,505,333 bushels last year: from_Pacific ports, bushels, against 1,278,648 bushels last vear, and in corn, 9,620,565 bushels, agalnst 9,259,999 bushels last year Faflures for the week have been 231 in the United States, against 145 last year, and 27 in Canada, against 23 last.year.

Chicago Grain Market. —_ CHICAGO, July 20.—The experience of yes- terday, a weak opening and a strong finish, was repeated on the Board of Trade to-day In the wheat market. September opened %@%ec under yesterday at 76%c to 76%c, scalpers sell- ing on bearish forelgn news. Liverpool showed poor appreciation of the advance here yester- day and her raceipts for three days, 872,000 bushels, contained only 114,000 busheis from America. Argentine shipments were also large. Following the opening dip, however, a reac- tion set in. The Chronicle estimating the Cal- ifornta yieid reduced the prospect from 1,000,000 tons to 560,000 tons, or 15,480,000 bushels, com- pared with 83,000,000 bushels a year ago. The estimate was rather startling. The talent had been paying more attention to other points and the announcement sent shorts to cover. Later in the day gloomy reports from North Dakota came as a_bull influence, helping along the advance. The market during the forenoon climbed to 7S¢, dropped on profit-taking to TI%@TT%e and then recovered to 78%@7s%c, and %lg_'l’ed strong %@%c over yesterday at Ti% T A very urgent demand, reports of damage to Kansas and Nebraska corn, that rain could not repair and the wheat strength caused the corn market to rule strong.

WHEAT—California crop estimates have been ‘materfally reduced during the past few days, as hot weather when grain was in the milk pinched the kernels and thereby reduced the welght. Chicago did better, in spite of unfavorable cables and large Argentine receipts of 2,225,000 bushels. There was some forelgn selling early in the day, but offerings were moderate. Ocean freights advanced and Germany chartered fif- teen steamers for transport service to China. There were liberal export sales of Flour. Corn was easy under rains in Kansas and Nebraska.
