Aug. 16.—The setback in prices rred” to-day while influenced in a the less favorable aspect to the strike situation was primarily due to profit- tsking sales on the week's rise. Improvements made in prices from day to day and the resuitant sharp gains showed some strik- ing profits on the long account up to last night. Bear selling had not been effective in check ing the improvement and Jt required only the announcement that the Joliet steel workers had reconsidered their decision not to go out as & pretext 1o sell the market. Naturally enough the Western stocks which had made the jarg- measure & est gains recently had to take the brunt of the selling. But liftle raliying power was dis- played by these stocks at any time during the day, temporary gains being immediately can- celed by remewed sales for both accounts. g losses at the low point average a little than 1 per cent, St. Paul figuring for extreme decline of 1% While the West- ern division was generally under pressure there was heavy buying at times of the bituminous thracite coal stocks, causing an im- in Norfolk and Western of 1% and heeling and Lake Erie issues of 2@3.

Sugar underwent many wid: changes during the day and after at one time selling a point above yesterday’s close ended a point lower. There was no news 1o account for the conspicumus strength of People’s Gas. which improved 2i3 in face of the heaviness elsewhere. Reports that the United States Steel Corporation had cecured control of the Republic Iron and Steel Company cauvsed active dealings in the lat- ler's stocks and they ended a point higher.

'W YORK. Aug. 16.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser’s London financial cablegram says: The tone of the stock market was Good to- day. Americans began very cheerful, Erie, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Atchisons being the favorites. There was a slight setback here just before the New York opening, which was attributed to the news that three more lodges of the Amalzamated Association had finally struck in accordance with the strike orders. New York did little to help things along, but London was inclined to buy on the reaction and the close was strong. The copper stocks were strong, on the fort- nightly statistics. Stocks have been reduced 565 tons and subpplies 1215 tons. CLOSING.

The fact that the steel strike is much less dangerous than was at first anticipated and seems likely to collapse altogether has had a considerable effect upon the minds of the stock market operators and has also encouraged renewed Investment buy- ing of the United States Steel stocks. At the same time the effects of the damage to the corn crop have been minimized and _the “street”” is less disposed than it was a fort- night ago to accept the theory that corn in the Western States is a total loss, or that raflroad corporations serving the corn grow- ing sections of the countrv will show any material decline in earnings during the en- sulng twelve months. The money market also continues to be easy and there is no scarcity of funds for speculative uses, while a drop in the exchange market brings forcibly before the eyes of the stock market public the fact that the United States is now enjoying a_record- breaking export trade in cereals. Rallroad earnings also continue to be remarkably geod, large increases being shown in most cases over an extremely favorable return of the cor- responding period a year ago. s vio ¥ ! Bradstreet's on Trade. #* T ——df NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: An improvement alike in tone and in demand is noted In trade circles this week,” and fall trade may be said to have opened actively. While the most optimistic reports come from the Northwest, several large markets in_ the corn belt send more cheerful reports, based partially upon a still further improvement in crop conditions, but likewise the result of the growth of a feel- ing that while the yields of most crops will be smaller than lzst year, the prices paid for the same will be higher and the purchasing power of the agricultural community as a whole Wil be little impaired. Advances in wheat, corn, oats and hog products support this view. Good crops in the Pacific Northwest are also re. ported, and the outlook for fall trade in that sectlon is a cheerful one, the only flaw at present being the strike confronting the ship- ping interests at San Francisco. Fresh vegetables and rruits and country produce are searca and high in price and canned Eocds also tend Eigher. Southern trade advices are marred by damage inflicted by the severc storm of Wednesday and Thursday, which ap- pears to have hurt the Louisiana rice crop -geverely. but it is not thought tb have hurt Sugar or cotton as much. In textiles it Is to be noted that the talk of a strike, with the necessary curtailed produc- tlon, has not strengthened print cloths, which are 3-16c lower on the week. Woolen goods appear to be better situated than those of cot- tor, and in raw products the low and fine grades of wool are firm, with some tending up- ward, while raw cotton is without change. The iron and steel strike shows little change, but an interesting fact is that despite the low- ered consumption growing out of the strike, stocks of pigiron are smaller than they were a month ago, on a comparatively trifiing de- crease in production. Chicago iron interests are getting much business diverted from Easi- ern markets by ‘the strike. Finished produs { affected by the strike are very high, and t position of canned goods manufacturers, de- mand from which is active, is rendered uncom- fortable by the scarcity of tin plates. Sheets and bars are likewise firm. Boot and shoe manufacturers have booked | good orders. Leather is active and hides are firm The strength of white pine, supported as it has been by small stocks at leading mar- kets, Is notable. Considerable advances have | been made at Eastern points to meet earller price advances at the West. Wheat. including flour, exports for the week in the United States aggregate 9,039,761 bush- | els, as against 8532,190 last week and 3,113.641 In the week last year. Wheat exports July 1to date aggregate 44,072,332, as against 19,944,- 996 last year. 714 last week and 3,017.080 last year. July 1 to date exports are 9,227,163, against 23,676,319 last season, Business failures in the United States num- ber 178, as against 155 last week, 168 in this week a vear ago, 172 in 1899, 19 In 1898 and 221 in 1897 For Canada failures for the week number 25, as against 20 last week, 24 in this. week a year ago and 20 In 1599, s against 990,- it I Dun’s Review of Trade. 2 i eri——b NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: The distribution of merchandise has proceed- ed this week on a steady and satisfactory scale throughout the East and in the West and Southwest the rellef from the long drought and heat is beginning to be reflected in a larger retail trade, so that for the quar- ter promise is held out for a larger business than last year. Crop conditions in the terri- tory most affected by the recent drought are improving and the weather has been highly | favorable in nearly all districts east of the | Missouri River, though rains have interrupted the spring wheat harvest. The steel strike has affected prices ex- particularly on sales for immediate In tin plates the advance has been greatest, while hoops, sheets, skelp and billets are sold at premiums. Quotations are too e ratic for accurate record and In many cases sales are at private terms. Confidence 1s steadily shown by placing of distant deliver- tes_at regular prices. - New England boot and shoe factories are still actively engaged and th: stability of | prices remains a feature. New York and Western shops are equally busy, jobbers complaining of slow deliveries. | This' is the season of greatest demand for | boots and there is a fair volume of business, but each yvear a decrease In output appears. Leather sells freely, but without change in price, while slightly lower bid for hides will probably secure large lots. Woolen mills have full employment, as a rule, and the increased consumption of raw material tends to harden the tone of the wool market, although no quotable change is possible. Official figures of corn condition were far more hopeless than even the most pessimistic antici- paticns, indicating only about two billion bushels of wheat and corn together. Infated brought out recefpts for the week of 705 bushels, against 2,032,193 bushels last Vear, and reduced Atlantic exports to 631,506 ! bushels, compared with 2,262,335 bushels a year | ago, and 4,034,302 bushels in’ 1599, | “Wheat aiso advancea sharply, but there is sound argument for strength in Atlantic ex- ports during the last two weeks of 13.579,034 bushels, against 4,378,961 bushels in 1900, and 4,066,646 bushels two vears ago.

The ranks of the sellers swelled on this and information of a similar nature and September declined early to 70%c.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—There was a decided reaction in tin in London, prices advancing there £1 5s on outside speculation. Spot finally closed at £115 15s and futures at £111 12s 6d, with the tone quite firm. This bullish factor failed to influence the local market for that metal, which ruled quiet all day and finally closed dull at $26 75 for spot, indicating scarcely a variation from yesterday’s figures. Copper was 10s up in London, with spot quoted at £65 18s 94 and futures at £66 7s 6d. Here the market was dull and nominally unmchanged at $16 50@ 17 for Lake Superior and $16 37%@16 62% for casting and electrolytic. Lead in London de- clined 1s 3d, but business was quiet and spot closed at £i1 11s 3d. Here prices were un- changed at $4 37% for spot pig lead. Spelter ruled extremely dull and nominally unchanged at_ $3 90@3 9. London prices, however, ad- vanced 2s 6d to £16 1os. Iron was practically nominal and without change in_all quarters.

The above list of arrivals will foot up about equal to one-half of our actual consump- tion, under ordinary circumstances, which of course is now being materially reduced on ac- count of labor disturbances. There are now in the harbor thirteen coal cargoes (seven steam- ers and six salers): the aggregate of these will foot up about 35,000 tons. The discharge of these cargoes is being delayed by the scarcity of stevedores, now on a strike. The factories using coal as a fuel are utilizing a very small amount at present, for which an ample provis- ion has already been made. Steamers on the Sound and in British Columbia are being with- held. some of them with full cargoes already on board, awaiting_the final settlement with the labor ‘leagues. The last reports from Austra- lia and Great Britain report coal freights un- changed, but fewer vessels being offered. This naturally intimates that bottom rates on coal have been reached: in fact, when coal freights are quoted at about 10s 5 from Swansea, Wales, and 11s 64 from Australia, N. S. W. the nautral inference would be that bottom rates had been reached, as a little less than these figures would induce ships to come in bal- last in preference to accepting going rates.': OILS—California Castor Oil, in cases, No. 1, 70¢; pure, §122; Linseed Oil, in barrels. botled, $c; raw, $2c; cases, Sc more; Lard Ofl, extra rained, barrels, Slc: cases.
