The New York circular of Henry Clews says ©of the condition of trade: “The crop situstion shows improvement owing to more favorable weather during the | last week or ten days. The serious damage to wheat has been confived to the spring wheat sections of Minnescta and the Dakotas, where only about half & crop is expected. Business in those sections and the rallroads also will | be unfavorably affected by this lose: but else- where the outlook is promising. In spite of the | - damage and the shortage on the Pacific Coast the " indications favor a yleld of about 550,000,- 090 bushels of wheat compared With 547,000,000 Lushels last year. Higher prices, be it noted, @ssure a money value considerably in excess of last year. Corn is in excellent condition; and if the next few weeks pass without injury from frost, the yield may reach over 2,000,000,000 Lushels and prove one of the bIEEest on recor: @ fact of much corsequence to the business in. © terests and rafiroads of the West and South- west.

NEW YORK, Aug. —The stock market to- | @ay was duller than yesterday and the move- | [ ment of prices was trivial and insignificant | without sn fmportant exception. The room traders sold stocks in the morning, fmpelled, | apparently, by the report of heavy gold ship- ments to be exported. Estimates were put out that the amount of shipments to-day and to- morrow would amount up to over $7,000,000. s, | When It was seen that the total would hot ex- ceed $5,300,000, the room shorts covered. The | market closed practically lifeless, near to the last night level. There was the usual profes- sional dealing in Sugar and Brooklyn isit, the latter suffering from the delay in the pub- lication of the annual report, which had been promised at -various times. The large Amer- ican subscriptions to the new British exchequer bon continued to absorb a large amount of discussion and surmise in Wall street. ' As an ©vidence of the large resources of capital avail- able to the country, the incident was generally accepted as a subject for national congratula- tion, but 2% an evidence of the acute pressure to Which the London money market is being sub- jected and the possible results on the world at large of thiscondition, it was not regarded as re- assuring.

Opening prices in Septem- ber showed a decline of %@3%c and another good- ized fraction was knocked off the price before the session had progressed very far. Liverpool reported the decline there was due to improved weather conditions in England. As there were no especially bullish features to the domestic conditions, as the weather was too hot for traders to take much interest, the market, after the first haif hour, degenerated into a skirmish betweenr scalpers, with a perceptible under- current in favor of the selling side.
