The demand for crop purposes will soon assert itself, and we may Jock for a period of declining reserves Until the end of October.

The vol- ume of transactions fell below half a million | shares and the mixture of net changes at the close is wholly without significance except as a reflection of the indecision dwelling in the speculative minds. No attention was paid to any news of the day, and in fact there were no occurrences having any important bearing on the values of securities. The bear traders made a feeble tentative raid shortly after the opening, but the offerings of stocks proved so small that they became intimidated and bought back again, covering short lines which were eft over from yesterday. The success of yes- terday’s raid seems to have been duc to an encounter with some particularly weak specu- lative line, which represented little more than a f:-mh easily blown off the surface of specula tion. again, notwithstanding the extreme listless- ness of the demand. Signs of renewed weak- ness in the corn market after the opening deal- ings {nduced some covering of shorts in stocks from Western sources, these were not put out again when corn rallied later. The ap- proach of a three-day hiatus in the stock mar- | ket, with possibilities of favorable or unfa- vorable developrients in the interval, was enough to dissuade either the bulls or the bears from committing themselves for that length of time, and to this deterrent influence may be added ‘the recognized possibility of the marking up of call loans on Friday. The re- opening of the dispute between France and Turkey had some influence upon foreign mar- kets to-day. which was emphasized by the dis- couraging view caused by the prolongation of the Boer war. On the other hand a settlement of the steel strike is believed in Wall street to be possible at any time. The market closed dull and heay; There was less doing In raflroad bonds than yesterday, but prices were about steady. sales, par value, $1,500,000.

The demand, however, has been mostly from the smaller mills, the large consumers having satisfled thelr needs for the time being at any rate and the volume of sales during the past week has been less than that of the previous week. There have been no sales of large blocks of wool, such as characterized the market a few weeks ago, but from the smaller mills the demand has been quite active, which has given a firmer tone to the market. That there will be more wool needed than a year ago is generally believed, in view of the fact that the public demand for goods has changed from those in which shoddy and cotton are used in the better class of goods, which means that more wool and fewer substitutes will be consumed this year than for some time past. This change in the public demand is reflected also in a decided pressure for the better class of wools and fine wools are especially firm, in good demand and in mot over abundant supply. There is g00d inquiry for fine territory and fine. The receipts of wool at Boston this week amounted to 24,347 bales, against 32,216 bales last week and 15,846 bales last year. The total receipts since January 1 have been 461,563 bales do- mestic and 101,851 bales foreign, against 275,690 bales domestic and 113,109 bales forelgn for the corresponding period of 1900. This is an in- crease of 180,922 bales domestic and a decrease of 12,288 bales foreign. Shipments of wool for the week ending August 26 aggregate 65,607,639 pounds. This shows a decrease of 624,- 069 pounds over the shipments for the previous week. Since January 1 the total ship- ments amount to 167,711,667 pounds. The sales of the week In Boston amounted to 3,800,000 pounds domestic and 550,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 4,350,000 pounds, against a total of 5,192,000 pounds for the previo#s week and a total of 3,209,000 pounds for the corre- sponding week last year. The sales since Jan- uary 1 amount to 163,679,700 pounds, against 90,560,500 - pounds for the corresponding period of last year. [ New York Metal Market. NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—In local metal circles tin ruled rather qulet all day, but about steady, with the asking rate somewhat higher, while buyers refused to bid any more than §25 50 for spot tin. The close was steady at $25 50@25 9714 An advance of 12s 6d was scored in London, the price on covering recovering to £116 2s 6d for spot and £112 for futures.

WHEAT"-The forelgn markets were firm and futures were higher. Chicago opened dull an deasy, but offerings seemed dried up_and local buying led to a sharp little rally. There were a lot of discouraged bulls out of Wheat. The market lacked a cash demand, however, and relapsed into dullness. Clearances increased. A dispatch to Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. said that it would be difficult to maintain a bull market under present condi- tions, The Southwest became good buyers at the close.

Beans and Seeds. Beans are dull at the moment, but it Is satd that there Is still a large September short In- terest, which will have to fill its contracts with- in the next thirty days. Part of the recent ad- vance was due to the running up of prices on these shorts. Regarding the Michigan crop, which is a source of great interest now, most of the reports recelved here say that it will be large, and If so it may have an effect on_our local quotations, as Michigan is a great Bean producing State and exercises pronounced influ- ence on the Eastern markets. Some changes in local quotations will be seen. It is reported that some sales of new Limas around dc have been made.

Tempting offers, it is sald, have been made to some of the Maryland growers for the products of their orchards, but these growers are inclined to hold out for bigger money. As the Packers' Association has secured the bull€ of the Santa Clara Prunes the term ‘‘out- side Prunes” is now a thing of the past, ex- cept as regards the old crop, which Is still controlled by the association at San Jose.
