NEW YORK, Aug. 2—The futility of the ef- forts made this week to awaken any interest in the stock market or to effect a movement of prices that offered any chance for attractive profits to traders resulted in a very small at- tendance this morning of even the class of deal. €rs on the board. There is no trace of any oth operations than those by traders. This morning’s market, as a consequence, made per- ceptible progress toward the condition of ab- solute stagnation, to which it has been tend. ing all the week ' Apparently the market was Jeft wholly to the device of the smail room traders. There was no evidence of the exist- ence of stop lose selling orders on the one hand or of sapporting orders on the other. Accord- ingly the professionals found their limited operations quite effective in moving prices. But the operation of taking profits, either by sell- ing long stock to realize or by covering shorts, reveals the fictitious character of the move- ment #ud neutralizes it. The centered about the renewed fears of cron dans ege, suggested by the strength In the corn market and the proposed construction of a sugar refinery in opposition to the American | Sugar Company. An appearance of considerable weakness was thus induced at one time during the day, but the closing up of contracts brought prices back sharply toward last night's level.

T * NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Bradstreet's Financial Review will say to-morrow: The drought in the corn-growing States has | b2en broken and was reflected by a general tations for railroad shares. It would seem, in fact, that the covering of shorts by profes- | sional interests, especially the Chicago opera- tors, was mainly responsible for the rise, and when this process exhausted itself there was little to supply elther strength or activity. The market was cheered at the beginning of | the week by the announcement that a settle- | ment of the steel strike was at hand and there | is little disposition to regard the interruption in the negotiations as being more than tem- porary. The condition of the money market gives mo cause for anxiety, last Saturday’s bank statement having shown another consid- erable increase in the bank reserves, attended by a further reduction in loans. Money is be- ginning to go to the interior for crop-moving purposes, but this is offset by a movement of funde from near-by points to New York and by large receipts of Klondike gold transferred from San Francisco through the treasury. The Eurcpean situation is not particularly favor- able, there being a continued strain upon the banking arrangements of the German empire. No gold shipments have occurred, although exchange rates have been firm and it is feared that Berlin may require further assistance from both New York and London. 3 Bradstreet's on Trade. the turn in the tide of the visible supplies which have begun to increase after ly de- crease for six months past. The foreign crop situation appears no better and reiterated ad vices of damage to the French crop come this week, color being given to this by the con- tined’ export demand. Corn, after the sharp break of last week, has steadied up and near the close of the week was close to the highest point reached, on al- leged confirmation of damage caused by the recent hot spell previous to the breaking of the drought.

G. Du Review of Trade to-morrow will sa: Contin- ued favorable weather conditions have resulted in the saving of much late planted corn and the Northwest ideal weather for spring wheat harvest has been enjoved. As this is the point that business in all parts of the country has been most carefully watched the general feel- ing is better than a week ago. The disposition on both sides to settle the steel strike has not yet resulted in any agreement and the labor situation is thus ket prominent, Official returns of pigiron production in the first half of the year show a record-breaking aggregate of 7,764,713 tons, exceeding the re- markable output of the previous vear by 32,- 044 tons. The second half of 1991 has opened with a much greater capacity of adtive fur- naces and the full year promises a considerable larger total than 13,000,000 tons produced in 1900. During the past week leading mills have placed large contracts for early delivery and inqui- ries for all forms of finished steel are abundant. There is less disposition to pay fancy prices for products than were advanced by the strike, which is an evidence of the general belief in early resumption of work. An unfavorable showing for the first half year in both exports and output of copper resulted in the first al- teration in nominai prices since the advance to 17_cents eight months ago. Wheat is especially active, Western receipts for the week reaching 6,508,311 bushels, ainst 5,020,761 last year, and 4,734.263 two years ago, while Atlantic exports were 4.814.99% bushels, against 2,737,759 in 1900 and 3,765,787 in 1899. Dealers in some drousht stricken districts have countermanded orders for footwear and these cancellations are felt mainly by West- ern makers, but as a whole the industry is in a healthy position. Leather is quiet. shoe fac- torles buying lightly owing to large supplies taken recently. Liberal arrivals in hides tend to depress values. Wool has at last risen slightly above the low- est point in four years. The cotton market awalts the Government report in a dull and weak position. Failures in July were 697 in number, against 793 last vear and $7,035.933 in amount of ltabil- ities., against $9,771,775 in 1980. Failures for week not stated. &d *- New York Grain and Produce.

Ralns practically Insured a large spring wheat crop, although the damage already donme appears to have been serfous, judging from the strength of the corn market itself and the advices of heavily rc- duced yields which are relterated from the sec- tions affected. Bradstreet's advices point to the early corn crop as practically a failure in the leading surplus-producing States west of the Mississippl, but late corn undoubtedly has been saved and as time elapses estimates of production are being raised. From the rest of the country trade advices are in the main quite cheerful and despite the Intense heat and drought of July an extraordinarily large busi- ness appears to have been done, which is re flected in the bank clearings for that month. | Cotton crop conditions improved in the South as a result of the recent rains and trade ad- vices are correspondingly more cheerful. ' Pa- cffic Coast crop advices are also better, though shipping activity is interfered with at San Francisco by a strike, The Northwest will produce crops largely In excess of last year, and a heavy fall trade s anticipated in that’ section. The poorest advices naturally come from the Central West and_Southwest, but it is significant that points like Kansas City report that cancellations have stopped and that the outlook is much better. The woolen mills are filled with orders for fall delivery and the epring-weight season has opened encouragingly. Wool is being taken in liberal amounts by the manufacturers and is firm, is also the London market, at which buying for America is reported liberal. Sugar is irregular and rather slower in demand. Lumber is rather quiet, in sympathy with the advanced stage of the season, but prices for White pine are firmly held. Prospects for the ending of the steel strike and the better tone of crop prices have made the iron and steel situation more cheerful. For the first time in some weeks special activity is noted In the cruder forms, due to the buying of 70,000 tons of Bessemer and basic pigiron by the largest single interests. Finfshed lucts are as ac- tive as ever and all leading bar mills are reported filled up with orders to the enmd of the vear. Shoe manufacturing is active, ite some midsummer quiet in selling directions and leather is strong, particularly for heavy varfe- tles of solé, Hides are steady at the East, and tend up at Philadelphla and Western points. ; It has been an weather markef cereals. !'ollfl'l:‘lh‘:hfl break n;f h:tfo;l:rklt however, wheat and oats to - S o R AP, bt due to liquidation has weakened wheat, alded by good ‘wheat reports, breaking receipts of the ne::p winter wheat and record-- * CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—At the opening of the corn market the news was bullish from a new source—the Northwest, where it was sald the area of heat and drought had extended itself, to the detriment of the plant. Nebraska drought news added to the builishness. Sep- tember opencd with sales from 58@s9c, the lat- ter figure being lc over vesterday's close. Crop reports from lowa and certain other portions of the corn belt were more cheerful, so that the bulls did not have everything their own way. Liquidation by longs, who had profits in sight, however, proved to be the factor destined to shape the course of prices. Selling for the lo- cal account brought out stop loss orders and September tumbled from its pinnacle to 5T%c before the bull party asserted itself and forced the price up to 38%c. Here the support weak- ened and the liquidation bought afresh, with the result that September declined to sic and closed weak, %c under yesterday at 57%c. An advance at Liverpool and sympathy with corn, together with light Argentine shipments influenced wheat at the opening, which was 3; @%c higher for September, at 69%@S9%c. Trade for a few moments only was of a general character, thereafter the trade was of a scalp- ing order In which the influence of corn was plainly seen. Excellent prospects for the spring wheat crop and stagnation of the export busi- ness were further influences which worked against the price during the remainder of the session.
