EASTERN MARKETS. — Wt New York Stock Market. NEW RK., Aug. %.—From a condition of Gecided strengih in the early dealings the market began to show an exhaustion of the buying power and prices declined gralually until the final hour, when there was an effec- tive bear drive against the grain carrying roads This movement was based on surmises that the Government's monthly crop report to be fssued t would reflect graater damage than current expectations. This sup- tion was also effectively backed by the estimate of a recognized expert who predicted a possible condition for wheat of 78 and corn 60, These averages were given some credence by bear traders and they promptly put out large amounts of stocks which brought about declines in the highest prices of the day of from % to 2% in the principal grain carrying B with St. Paul the chief sufferer. The general decline was materially assisted by & a 5 points in People’s Gas on reports of complications with the Chicago city authori- tiee. United States Steel stocks contributed little novel to the day s dealings and moved within & range of a point. Early improvements ©of % and % respectively for the common and preferred were wiped out and they closed 3 @' lower. Reports of control by the Gould interests of Mexican railroads promoted a good demand for 1l of the uthwestern stocks at the outset and Missouri Pacific and Texas Pa- cific rose 2a2%. A sympathetic effect was ex- erted on the general list by these special movements and there were some substantial gains in various prominent stocks. The fact that there are no announcements of gold exports, sterling exchange rates heing lower and ex- ns of @ good bank statement also were ing influences to the rise.

The change in this respect was the more striking because the week opened with a very depressed feeling in Stock Exchange circles and prices for several days declined, in some cases In a decided manner. This unexpected ending of last Saturday's conference between the heads of the , Amalgamated Association = of Steel | Workers 'and the United States Steel Corpora- tion in a disagreement and the announcement | by the labor union that there would be a gen- eral strike instead of pacification of the ex- | isting trouble was calculated to have a_de- moralizing effect upon a market which had al- ready experienced a liquidation and decline on the damage to corn crop and the strike. Bear- ish feelings consequently predominated when the market epened last Monday and there was heavy selling for both longs and shorts in the steel stocks. Nevertheless, after a time it was scen that the United States Steel stocks were recelving powerful support at about 40 for the common and below 90 for the preferred. Doubts were also cast on the abllity of the leaders of the labor movement to make good their threat of closing the majority of the mills. This was followed by news that the steel corporation was promptly putting into execution its plan of opening, one by one, its non-union mills which had been shut down and that thus far the plan had been completely successful. On this the steel stocks hardened and on Thurs- day rumors that there were renewed prospects of a settlement caused sharp advances In | United States Steel shares, the common rising to 43 and the preferred to 92. This movement would have naturally caused sharp advances in United States Steel to cover shorts and in the general market, but the railroad list was also influenced in a bullish way by independent factors. The chief of these was the better view the street takes of the corn crop situa- tion. * | * # Bradstreet’s on Trade. % NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Bradstreet's to-mor- 1ow will say: Despite some irregularity, due to the recurrence of corn damage news in the majority reports from the Eastern surplus producing States and the formal launching of the much-heralded general steel workers' strike, the aggregate business the country over seems to be good, and in most sectlons in un- precedented volume for this season of the year. Changes, where noted for the week, have been rather of tone than of actual demand, and it 18 in this matter of sentiment that the favor- able developments have arisen. measures of supply, demand and movement point to the business done in July as having exceeded anything transacted in any similar midsumrer month. This, too, despite the ex- ceptionally hot weather, drought, strike talk and similar conditions unfavorable to Business extension. Cereal prices have been rather irregular, but the main tendency has been upward, partly because of remewed crop damage reports as to the corn crop, ‘‘frosts’ having already be- gun to be sighted by nervous crop estimators. The main strength of wheat, however, lies in the continued heavy export business, the clear- ances this week being enormous and far in excess of any previous week on record and Anaconda, 9: Canadian Pacific, 111%; North- er smaller volume of recej m Pacifc preterred, % Southem Pici o O i " Tpfsrer wiisr Atchison, T5: do preferred, 97%; Denver and | New features are scarce in the iron and steel Rio Grande, 42%; do' preferred, 93%: Union | trade.

Dun & Co.s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: There is no tomplaint from any part of the country over the volume of current distribu- tion of merchandise and what hesitation is cb- served in general trade is chiefly due to the uncertainty as to the duration of the iabor troubles in the steel manufacture. Collections continue good. Better weather has helped the agricultural outlook, money is easy and stocks of merchandise carried are not above the aver- age for this season of the year, particularly in the West and Southwest. Relief is felt in all de- partments of the fron and steel industry, now that uncertainty is ended and_the position of the contestants made clear. Now the issue must be determined permanently and a settled condition will greatly facilitate operations. Structural wire and plate mills are not affect- ed and the production of rails wiil not be ma- Supplies of bars and tubes will be restricted and quotations in these lines tend to follow the advance already secured for sheets and hoops. A bad feature is the increase in fmportation of tinplates, which had been manufactured In sufficlent quantity to imporis_in the last fiscal year being valued at only §3,770,- 062, against $35,746,420 ten years ago. Having no further ammunition in heat and drought reports_ for hoisting prices, speculators have turned suddenly to the other extreme and demonstrate that early frosts threaten all late planted corn. Eastern_shoe manufacturers find conditions as favorable as last week, while reports from the West are more encouraging. Prospects continue to improve in the market for woolen goods and as the manufacture enjoys greater activity prices for raw material are harden- ing. Little change is seen in actual sales, but there is a growing disposition to hold for the better terms that many in the trade consider inevitable. Failures for the week were 173 in the United States, against 177 last year, and 31 in Canada, against 23 last year. *- [ New York Grain and Produce.

Harrison's circular says: “During the wesk there have been three ar- rivals of coal from British Columbia, 13,708 tens; five from Washington, 555: one from Oregon, 150: two from Australia, 5420; one from Cardiff, 3007: total, 38,335 tons. “The’ deliveries of coal here this week will be largely in excess of the present demand. It all the industrial interests were running full blast we would have still received more than would have been consumed. The quantity auired for consumption in our present demora; ized condition is dlfficult to arrive at. When our_factories recommence the quantity of fuel to be consumed will be largely in excess of our former weekly average. If no compromiss is effected this month colliery proprietors in the morthern sections will be forced to dlscon- tinue shipments. Market quotations remain un- changed, in fact, for the moment there is no market quotation. “Freight rates from England and Australia are reported similar to last week's figures, in- dicating that bottom rates have been touched. and any change from this on would naturally show an advance. Outward grain freights from here are ruling high, hence it makes this port a seductive one for vessels to seek, as thess rates will continue for several months to come. ‘There is very little change in fhe oil situation, pending the final action of the Railroad Com- missioners on freight rates from Fresno and Kern counties.” OILS—California Castor Ofl, 75c; pure, $1 26; Linseed Oil, in barrels. boiled, %4c;. raw, 92c; cases 5S¢ more; Lard Ofl, extra winter_strained, barrels, Sic; cases, S5¢; China Nut, 5@72¢ per sailon: pure Neatsfoot Ofl, bar- rels, 67%c; cases, Tec: Sperm, pure, f5c; Whals Ofl, natural white, 4#0@4c per gallon; Fish Oil, in barrels, 37%c: cases 42%c.
