W YORK, Jul —To-day's stock mar- cubmitted to another drastic process | tion, which caused some severe losses | vrices of stocks. In the late afternoon was a subsu dal rally, which wiped out important proportions of the extreme decline. The late recovery was extremely erratic and wae unsteadily held. The closing was irregu- jar, but with prices near the top on the recov- ery. There seemed 1o be no new causes to in- @uce the continuance of the selling movement, beyond those of & technical nature. The bears were the active factor in breaking prices, but the speculators long of stocks stood passive without any resistance in the shape of buying to support the market. The consequence was that on each successive raid by the bears stop- jose orders were uncovered and specuktive margins wiped out, forcing the brokers to sell out their_customers to save losses for them- selves. The bapks continued keenly alert to the course of prices and encroaching upon the margin of valuation as collateral compared with the market valuation forced sdditional liqui- dation on the exchange. There was large sell- ing @iso through commission houses from all | quarters by that class of holders which is dis- couraged by the mere fact of a decline and which sells out on the prospect of getting | stocks back at a lower figure. Rebuying by | this clase of holders added to the demand from | the shoits and stopped the late rally. Reports from the corn beit showed no improvement, and it was the'opening quotations for corn | which toppled over prices of stocks after some | progress had been made toward recovery in the early dealings. The terms of the announced | settlement of the Western freight disturbance | were also considered unsatisfactory owing to | ghe continued defection of one of the minor Toads in the territory. The divergence of news | from the conferces on the labor dispute in the | steel trade was the subject of continued appre- hensicn. The fact that assurances were given yesterday that an official statement would probably be made before the end of the week of tne terms of the Northern Pacific settle- ment cotsed disappointment over the non-ap- pearsnce of such a statement to-day and caused some recurrence of uneasiness lest re- | newed discord should develop in that quarter. Under the flood of selling orders thrown upon the market by the influence of the various discouraging factors there were declines be- jow last night's level for Wabash preferred of # points: Union Pacific, 7%: Atchison, 5%: do preferred. 5i4: St. Paul, 5; Iowa Central pre- i * the ferred, Rock Island and Delaware and Fudscn.

The late rally which materially modi- fied these declines was primarily due to the oversold condition of the market, the bears having operated on the short side with great boldness throughout the week. The prospect of a favorable bank statement was also a fac- tor. The railroad bond market was only moderate- Iy active and weak in sympathy with stocks. Total sales. par value, $3,520,000.

NEW YORK, July 12—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The market to-day was very idle except for American stocks. The depression was general. The course of American stocks ran unevent- fully until the afternoon with Germany hold- ing off and Amsterdam rather buying than selling. Then New York smashed the market, notably Atchison and Union Pacific, and the close was at the worst. London attaches no importance to the rumored quarrel between the Morgan and Harriman interests, but dislikes the crop news. There is a feeling here, too, that several New York pools are overloaded and leaking. The flatness here proves due to counts carried by three men. CLOSING.

In the East business appears to be of a midsum- mer character, while in the Southwest condi- tions have been adversely affected by drouth and hot weather reports, which superinduced a. tendency on the part of many to cancel orders previously given. In the Northwest, on the contrary, business seems to be quite active as the result of excellent crop conditions and credit is reported being freely granted, but in the Middle West the tenor of trade is appar- ently steady, while in the South ordinary con- ditions are noted. But for the week the im- portant developments seem to have been the rampant speculation in corn and oats, due to reports of exceedingly heavy damage in the Missouri Valley belt, the nervousness of the stock market and a somewhat troubled railway rate situation, together with a more favorable feeling in labor circles. . The crop reports to the Agricultural Depart- ment point to a reduction of 400,000 acres, or 5 per cent from the area planted last year, with a lowered condition as compared with July a year ago,.and as a result the statisti- Cians are figuring on a crop of. 2,098,003,000 bushels, which may be regarded as somewhat above the probable yield, if account be taken of the decline in conditions as compared with the average for the season last year. For the wheat crop as a whole, a total of 704,350,000 bushels s figured out, also seemingly an esti- mate which may have to be revised in the direction of a reduction. The wheat remaining In farmers’ hands is estimated at 31,000,000 bushels, which Is less by 20,000,000 bushels than on July 1 a vear ago. The oat crop shows a decline in condition for the month of June and as compared with July 10 last year, while bar- ley shows a slight gain for the month, but an advance as compared with July last year. There was a firmer and better feeling in the iron and steel market, though new business is of small volume. Steel rail mills are now ac- cepting orders for delivery in 1902 at $28 per ton, and the situation is regarded as being rather strong. A report this week indicated that an order for 20,000- to 30,000 tons of steel bars had been placed with the Carnegie and Jones and Laughlin people by the agricultural implement manufacturers, who were holding out with the hope that the price would go lower. Blast furnace statistios indicate a de- cline in the weekly capacity from 306,991 tons on June 1 to 303,733 tons on July 1, but con- sumption seems to have almost balanced the output. Structural material is active. _ Tin, after soaring on speculative manipulation, broke toward the end of the week as the result of a coup by the leading bull interests. Labor troubles, so far as surface indications go, are appreaching an amicable settlement. In wool the situation shows improvement, but no speculative interest. Some mills that had secured fall orders are covering by buying raw wool, the bulk of the demand for which is for Territory, fine medium and fine. Offer- ings of staple lots are scarce. New wools are being picked up and values are hardening. fleece Wwools are quiet and some Australian wools have appeared on the market and are selling at firm prices. Grose railway earnings for the month of Juue, as reported to Bradstreet's. agEregate $53,510.413, as compared with $50,108,521 for June last year, an increase of 6.8 per cent. _Leather is active on domestic and export demand and so are hides and skins. In shoes a fair line of business for prompt shipment is reported, but forwardings are below fhose of last week. amounting to 52,781 cases, against 101,761 cases last week, and 84,119 cases for the week in 1900, e Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregated 5,016,119 bushels, against 3.787,63) bushels last’ week, 2,820,910 bushels in the ‘corresponding week of 1900, and 3,263,515 buehels in 1899, Business faflures in the United States for the week were 193, as against 145 last week, 221 this week a year ago, and 174 in 1899 Canadian failures for the week number 22, 8% faniost Ullest Sweek, 56 lastiyenr; and A7 in 1899, L — N Bradstreet's Financial Review. —_— % NEW YORK, July 12.—Bradstreet's Financial Review to-morrow will say: While last week’s market was irregular and exceedingly dull, the present week has developed a declining ten- dency, accompanied by greater activity. Most of the incidents which influenced speculation were of an unfayorable nature, and while the public interest in stocks was not sufficiently large to produce a general selling movement, there was evidence that a good deal of liqui- dation was going on. In fact, in some quarters It was held that certain intefests of the larger class have become somewhat overloaded and the principal cause for the weakness in the gen- eral list was the unstable technical position of these parties. The adverse news about the corn crop was one of the leading factors in creating a feeling of uncertainty. The fact that the wheat yield is almost of a record-breaking kind received scant attention, although its impor- tance to the railroads is obvious. In addition to unfavorable crop advices, the market was affected by the news that the cutting of rates by the Chicago Great Western had at last proved retallatory, the Atchison having put out a tariff involving very serious reductions on many commodities between southwestern points and the East. The main factor of disturbance in the market was, however, furnished by the low state of the New York bank reserves and the necessary calling of loans which this involves. The dull- ness of speculation and the inactivity of com- mission houses would indicate that there s at present no_excessive borrowing by Wall street at large. Nor, although money was quoted at the opening of the week as high as § or 9 per cent on call, has there been any real difficulty as to rates, the quotation for call money after last Tuesday having been 6 per cent. * Dun’s Review of Trade. » - NEW YORK, July 12.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: General business continues its even course, with all the leadinz industries well employed and with confidence expressed on every hand. Bountiful crops of wheat seem assured, and the damage to corn, while considerable in some directions, does not promise to.be suffi- ciently general or serious to at all impede the progress of the country. Labor troubles are in process of settlement and speculators have been responsible for most of the unrest which has been reflected in the market. Steel mills are actively employed and there is a distinct improvement in the demand for finished prod- ucts, while quotations are without alteration. In bars for use by makers of agricultural im- plements there is a brisk movement, plates are taken readily and there is no sign of dim- inished purchasing in structural material. Rails are ordered freely, with notable pres- sure for trolley and other light weights. Bil- lets are more qulet and few new trasactions are reported in pigiron. The total number of pigiron furnaces in blast on July 1, as record- ed by the Iron Age, was but three less than a month previous, and the weekly capacity was 310,950 tons. Improvement is general in the footwear In- dustry, although no higher prices can be ob- tained, Leather is in good demand and firm, but without quotable change in prices. Heavy woolens are securing duplicate orders and mills are making extensive preparations for the lightweight season. Manufacturers are well employed and exhibit increasing interest in rew material. Wool has not altered in prices, but the tone is firmer and sales in- crease. Growers are said to be selling rather than consigning, while many ranchmeh refuse to do any business at present prices. Grain crops this season are occasioning much uneasiness among speculators owing to the ex- tremely comolicated situation. According to the latest officlal and unofficlal prognostica- tions there is reason to anticipat the heaviest wheat yield ever harvested, and making the customary allowances for domestic consump- tion, even with the small supply on hand when the 'vear opened, there appears available for export about 0 per cent more than went abroad In the year of greatest shipment. Yet, prices are far above the low record and vigor- ous rallies follow each decline. Extensive needs abroad continue, the movement from Atlantic vorts for the week amounting to 8,208,634 bushels, azainst 2,189,443 bushels a year azo. Failures for the week numbered 208 in the United States, against 196 last year, and 27 in Canada, against 24 last year. * % [ New York Grain and Produce. *: 4 NEW YORK, July 12.—FLOUR—Receipts, 21,298; exports, 5500.

In fact, all kinds of fruits are in moderate supply and it is sevefal years since the sidewalks were so bare.

Harrison's circular says: “During the week there have been’two ar- rivals of coal from Oregom, 930 tons; six from ‘Washington, 13,380 tons; three from British Columbia, 10,467 tons; total, 24977 tons. The deliveries this week are about 3000 toms short of our average weekly consumption, but at the same time there is no particular searcity for either domestic or steam purposes. We have to depend almost entirely on British Columbia and Washington for our supplies, as the only coal outside of these sections to arrive here in the next thirty days will not exceed five cargoes, which passed out of first hands months ago. The last freight quotations from Great Britain and Australia, received this week, show a de- cline of fully 50c per ton under the rates asked in June, and our importers here are not willing charterers at the reduced rates. The present ruling dutward grain freights are certain to in- duce shipowners to send thelr property here ‘seeking,’ and_coal will be the principal ar- ticle carried. Fuel oil is being liberaily shipped to the_city, and to large factorles around the bay. Low prices still prevail, and will doubt- less continue, unless some unity of interests develops itself.
