NEW YORK, July 17.—The aggregate sales of stocks to-day show & further increase in the volume of dealings, which fairly crossed the million-share mark. Substantial upward progress was made and the market was broad in the sense that a large number of different | securities were dealt in, and the trading was 2lso better distributed among the few stocks | in which activity was ehown. Preference was | shown for the low-priced stocks to-day, with | the exception of @ speculative incursion into | the trunk lines and the Vanderbilts. One attempt gwas made to bring the speculation back into the high-priced Western railroade, but it will be obsreved that the desire to take | profits on the considerable advance which | those stocks have had was ctill too eager to | ellow much upward progress. The United | States Steel stocks renewed the struggle to | advance, but again met heavy sales at every stage. Some of yesterday's conspicuous low- priced stocks were acutely affected by profit- taking. This was notably true of the Chicago | and Alton stocks. The evidence of profit- taking in these and the sudden relapse of over 2 points in Colorado Fuel after & 4-point ac- vencc had a decidedly depressing effect, ani put & sudden stop to the activity of the mar- ket, leaving it at a level which fairly r- sged below last night. The opening advance in Colorado and Southern and Kansas City Scuthern was attributed to the same forces as was the Chicago and Alton movement yester- dey. These movements are supposed to sig- nalize the return of the Western contingent ficm the corn market to the stock market. The tone of doubt and hesitation shown in the market for the July corn option at Chicago wes taken as @ warning for possible speculative surprises. The check thus brought about to the animation of the market was changed again by the heavy demand developed for the Reading stocks and the coalers, This demand was undoubtedly based upon the assumption that the coal miners' convention will decide against another strike. Late in the day Chesa. peake and Ohio remewed its strong advance to the extent of 2% without checking the sell- ing to realize at other points, and making the closing irregular. _Although’ there was sup- posed to have been an extensive speculation upon the unknown chances of the Amalgam- ated dividend, the declaration of the unchanged rate failed to arouse that stock from the tem- per in which it rested all day. The day's activity evidently represented the prosecution of a regular campalgn for a rise which was based to-day upon the absence of any unfavor. able factors rather than upon any new de. velopments favoring higher prices. Call money rates worked easier to-day, and there was a diminution of the pressure from the interfor for currency. Sterling exchange maintained its firm tone and time loans are strongly held. Bonds were active and firm. Total sales, $4,081,000. United States refunding 2s and the old 4s declined 14 per cent on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stock— Sales. High. Low. Close.

London Market. NEW YORK, July 17.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says Stocks to-day were dull and neglected, ex- cept Americans, where professional trading was active, though the public still hold aloof. The general list of this department opened here @ point above Paris on local and Con- tinental the grangers to the low-priced shares, par- ticularly Southern Pacific, Erle, Chesapeake and Ohio and Ontario and Western. New York came early as a buyer of Chesapeake and Ohio, but a seller generally, causing a tem- porary setback, but this was partially affected by strength in the street. New York Money Market.

Bids were made by the bulls openly at 67%c snd as a result the shorts began to Bossip over the possibility that the tale of the broken corner was only a ruse and that another squeeze was in store for them. At once a demand rose in both July and September anl prices jumped accordingly. July from an open- ing %@1%c higher at G6@67%c, soared to tuc. About this time the crowd caine to the con- Cclusion that Gates was simply bidding up the price in order to get rid Olhll‘lje é:.:ge lqo\rl::‘:ing ve corn that he ha e e e tiverten. e ‘demand_ fell off and forthwith the price of July fell back With a thump to a weak close, c lower than yes- terday, at 65%c. Trade was not large, prob- ably 150,000 bushels being a conservative esti- mate of the amount unloaded in Juiy. July seemed on tap at all times, but September was offered sparingly, partly because of firm cables. Despite the fact that the bull party in July had a tremendous quantity of cash stuff to get rid of the story goes that its heavy short line in September may yet bring the corner clique to grief. Much of the de- mand in September to-day was attributed to buying by this crowd. Receipts in corn con- tinued very heavy to-day, a total of over 400,- 000 bushels of contract stuff being on hand to-day. September was strong all day, closing firm, 1%c up at 61c. In the face of the good array of bearish news wheat ruled very firm. The weather was almost perfect, save in the Northwest, whers hot weather in the wheat belt, which is ap- proaching the milky state, threatened the spring wheat. Arrivals were much larger than expected, cables were lower and statistical journals lssued bearish reports. Offerings were scanty, however. There was a good demand from the Northwest, where some damage had been done by cyclomes. The corn strength stimulated buying in wheat to some extent and September, which opened a shade higher to a rhade lower at T112@71%c, at once advanced to 72c. Liberal selling by commission houses and estimates of 210 cars for to-morrow put the price back again temporarily, but when fifty-one cars were reported taken for export at the seaboard the buying started on a fair scale again and September closed firm, up, at 72@72%c. Oats ruled strong on scarcity of offerings and the very light movement to this market. September closed %c up, at 823, Provisions were Tather neglected and weak. September pork closed 10c down, lard 1230 lower and ribs 7Tlic lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: * Articles— Open. High. Low. Close. Wheat No. 2— July .. B 74 Y TA% September .....

New York Metal Market. - NEW YORK, July 17.—The metal markets to-day generally were more active and pre- sented rather more features. The local mar- ket for copper reflected weakness owing to Dpressure from speculative sources. Electro- Iytic_suffered most in the decline, closing at $11 87%@11 90. During the session 60,000 pounds for July delivery were sold at $1i 95 and 60,000 pounds at 11 92/, while at the close more was offered at $11 90. Standard, spot to August, closed at §$11 35@11 65; lak $11 95@12 06, and casting, $11 76@11 85. Lon. don also showed signs of weakness, spot and futures closing 2s 6d lower at £53 1s 3 for the former and £5% 5s for futures. In tin the local market ruled barely steady, with holders showing more disposition to sell. Sales of spot at $28 95 were reported. ~Spot closed at $28 95@20. London tin again ad- vanced under, it is said, bull manipulation, gaining 7s 6d’ to-day, and closing at £129 for spot and futures at £127 5s. There was moderate interest shown in lead and prices were steadily maintained at the %1(111 %guro, 4%c. London was unchanged st 5. Spelter {mproved %c to-day and ruled firm, with demand more active.

WHEAT—The forelgn markets showed little change. The Indlan crop of 1902 is placed at 224,335,000 bushels, or 28,251,000 bushels less than in 1901, and 8 per cent under the average for ten years. Chicago was weak on Snow's report, which Minneapolis people said was 100,000,000 bushels too high. Later on the market steadied, the strength In corn helping it. Otherwise the mar- ket was tame and featureless. This market was somewhat higher on call, but unchanged on the spot. Buyers continue to bid over this market in the country, the competition between the different interests be- ing sharp, and $117% is a conservative quo- tation for this interior business.

CORN—The market is very dull and the feel- ing is weak. Prices are still being held up by main strength. It is reported that somebody is offering to place Western Corn on this mar- ket, but that his efforts are meeting with no success, as the local trade refuse to touch it. Prices are considered altogether too high for either importation or speculation. Large Yellow, $1 45@1 50; small round do, $1 45@1 50; White, $1 5091 55.

Cholce and fancy stock was in limited supply and moved off well at steady prices. Recelpts of Onions were light, but there were enough lying around to meet all requirements. With the exception of Tomatoes in large boxes_all descriptions of vegetables were eas- ier. Cholce offerings of Green Corn sold read- ily, but poor stock from Vacaville and some overheated stock from across the bay sold at 25@50c per sack.

A steamer came in from Humboldt with fresh supplies of Butter, and they were needed, for the market was getting bare. Another boat was due late in the day, and still another falls due to-morrow. The market rules firm at pre- vious prices. There is no change in Cheese. The firmness in Eggs continues. Stocks are comparatively light, and the demand is stead- ily reducing them. Store Eggs are meeting with a brisk Inquiry. Recelpts were 45,000 pounds and 70 cubes of Butter, — pounds of Eastern Butter, 1031 cases of Fggs, —— cases of Eastern Esgs ,210 pounds of California Cheese, 2250 pound: of Oregon Cheese and — pounds of Eastera cese.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. Receipts of Strawberries were light and Ma- lindas were quoted higher. Raspberries, Logan- berries ands Blackberries were offering freely and met with a steady demand at better prices. The canners secured a few chests of Black- berries at $2. The trade bought sparingly of Currants and most of the offerings sold to can- ners and peddlers at the lowest quotation. Choice offerings of Apples, Pears, Plums and Prunes sold readily, but as usual there was a lot of poor stock offering that dragged at easy prices. Offerings of Plums and Prunes in bask- ets consisted chiefly of culls and sold slowly. Apricots, Peaches and Figs held up well. Two crates of White Nectarines came in from Winters, but found no buyer, as the fruit was | very green. Huckleberries were offering again and sold at 10g12%c per Ib. Four boxes were recelved from Point Arena and six from So- noma County. Rose Peru Grapes from Indio sold at $1@1 25 per crate. Melons were in free supply and prices stood | about the same.

The situation remains about the same. Mail advices from New York say that California packers and other large handlers of Prunes | are less willing to sell, and that some of the packers have gone so far as to withdraw all Qquotations for the present. Others have with- drawn quotations on the large sizes, which are turning out much scarcer than expected. The French crop is now admitted by everybody to be a tiat fallure, while the crop of Itallans in Oregon is almost a total failure, as will be seen in the first column. Hence the firmness.
