Shipment of Silver. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The steamship Lu- cania, salling for Europe to-morrow, will take out 271,000 ounces of silver. demand at leading Western markets. Prices, t00, are steady, what few decreases are noted being largely due to improved crop_conditions, particularly of corn and cotton. Despite the Teports which have picturgd the corn crop as heavily shortened by hof winds_ the reports to Bradstreet's from Nebraska, Kansas City and St. Louls re as a whole quite encourag- ing. The lowered price of cotton is largelv due to the arrival of needed rains in the Souta Atlantic States. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 2,295,168 bushels, against 3,113,- 641 bushels last week; 3.434,825 bushels in the corresponding week of 1899, ‘3,565,476 bushels in 1898, 5,149,653 bushels in 1567 and 3,251,854 bushels | in_1s56.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say: The sky is not cloudless, but there has been no back- ward movement of business this week. The chief drawback of the week has been the in- tense heat in some sections of the West, which was more efficient in retarding business than the lower temperatures East was in_stimu- lating it. Crop advices continue as cheerful as at any time lately and the labor situatin shows no fmportant changes in working forces. Prices are steady, but there Is talk of a de- cline, perhaps $10 per ton in steel rails, shortly. 1o a basis at which it is believed the rallroads will be willing to place orders for the en- suing year's supplies. More good news comes from the great iron centers, where bridge and boat bullders and makers of agricultural im- plements, stoves and cast iron pipe are all eager to secure raw or partially finished ma- terial. Prices are sustained and in a few cases move upward. Iron generally is a more solid and better balanced market than for two months past. ~Reduction in output of pig is having the desired effect at most Northern points, though at the South stocks are still heavy' and complaint is heard of prohibitive freight rates to the seaboard. Large export business i3 walting and foreign buying of fin- ished material continues large. Production of coke has been decreased to 143,950 tons weekly in the Connellsville region. Another sharp decline has taken the price of tin to $30 124, but copper Is firm. Wheat declined umf further on Saturday, touching the lowest price since early in June, and making the fall 15%c from the top point of the season, about two months ago. ~ViR- orous marketing by farmers shows their wil- lingness to sell at current prices, receipts at primary markets during three weeks amount- ing to 19,999,900 bushels, against 10,633,051 last year. Dally figures of exports continue light, although there is much talk of purchases for forelgn account. Prices recovered from the lowest point, traders on the short side taking profits freely. May corn Is steady, but a drop ast year makes the present price only dc above that of 1889, Sales of wool at the three chief Eastern mar- kets have increased to 5,062,500 pounds, against 4.231,800 in the week previous. To-day's wool was active in Boston and territory grades are all firmly held, though prices are nominally unchanged. There is no pressure to sell, some dealers shipping East with instructions to hold until after election. Factorles are still working only part time in the Eastern boot and shoe districts and it is evident that earlier estimates of accumulated stocks were much too small. There is more activity in the hide market and prices are sus- tained by strong foreign quotations, activity in Chicago by California tanners and favorable purchases for harness.

Some invest- ment purchases are apparently in Dprogress from time to time in the dividend paying part of the ralroad share list and there has also been more or less manipulation of a few stocks. It is, however, a long time since the market has been so lifeless or so devoid of features. The London market Is to all appearances as dull, if not duller, than our own. The large increase of the Bank of England's gold re- serves. amounting to_ £4,400,000, representing the shipments from New York on account of the war loans subscriptions, has eased the London money market to such an extent that there is no longer any reason to apprehend further withdrawals of gold from this country. The money market has n relieved from this danger and ot the samne time has been helped by the large disbursements the New York sub-treasury has made on account of the re- demotion of the old 2 per cent bonds. Easy money, however, has little effect in view of the total absence of speculative interest. The crop news was on the whole favorable, desvite_the prevalence of drought in the ex- treme West. Little effect was produced by the greater activity of the iron and steel trades though the Industrials as a class were firmer, | The zeneral list was on the whole steady and | bear selling by the traders did not bring out | any stocks. The only real activity was in n few manipulated issues. Bradstreet's on Trade. l____—__.__* NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Contrary trade currents still give an appearance of irregularity to the entire situation, but good and unfavorable influences conspire to bring about a sort of balance which NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The cotton market opened easy, with August contracts unchanged and other positions §@7 points lower. The market reacted 6G7 points on covering, the in- terlor movement being exceptionally small, and closed quiet at a net loss of 8@10 points. ¥* Chicago Grain Market. o CHICAGO, Aug. 24.—Wheat opened quiet and easy on disappointing cables which induced selling by yesterday's buyers, September start- ing %@%c lower, T4%c to Tc. Liverpool showed an advance of only %d. The bearish feeling prevalent at the start changed during the first fifteen minutes. The factor was the ex- tremely gloomy tone of Northwest reports. Tt was reported that in many ssctions of ths spring wheat territory farmers would not be able to get seed. The rains, it was said, had caused sprouting and growing in shock. This | sort of information sent shorts to cover and their buying, combined with orders from the Northwest, sent September up to Tsdc. The bulge met’ profit-taking. but the market held with considerable strength, closing %@3%c over yesterday at Td%c. Corn was quiet and easy, for the rains which were doing damage to wheat in shock were helping the corn crop. September dlosed e lower at 35%@asc. 3 In oats prices hung close to yesterday's mark. September closed e lower at 21%@21%c. Provisions were quiet and firm on a export demand. There was nothing in the way of fresh information to affect prices.
