NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The solicitude feit r the possible stringency of money was ex- emplified by the effect upon the stock market { & flurry in the call money rate to 6 per cent. fact that Stock Exchange loans made on riday carry over until the following Monday makes the customary demand on Friday some- what more urgent than on other days.’ The special cause offered to explain to-day's sharp advance was the maturity of subscriptions for the new Oregon Short Line collateral bonds, secured by deposit of Northern Securities stock. The payment called for about $15,000,000 and necessitated considerable shifting of loans to requirements. The rate dropped back to near near the'close, after the demand bad been satisfled. There have been a hum. br of other syndicate operations during the past Fall grain yields are | | | week, which may upset calculations as to the bank statement to-morrow. Among these were the payment of subscriptions to the United States Shipbuilding Company, the payment of & dividend by the United States Steel underwrit- ing syndicate and the dividend on United States Steel preferred payable to-day. So far as th indicated cash changes promise, to-mOrrow’s bank statement will not be unfavorable. The movement of currency with the interior seems | to be in favor of New York still, though re- cefpts on balance during the week amounted to $1,500,000, against the loss to the Sub-Treasury of $633,000. The New York exchange rate at Chicago fell to par to-day, compared with 10c premium yesterday and 20c premium on Wednesday. This is an index of the growth of the pressure from the interior upon New York for funds. Rates for this money also advanced to-day to a uniform § per cent for all periods. In response to the higher money market there was additional large offerings in the exchange market of loan bills, as wefl as of grain bills for September, October November delivery. The exchinge ~market was, in consequence, weak. An incidental influence upon the weak- ness of stocks was the report of rains in the spring wheat harvesting region, which affected the grain markets as well. As was expected the selling pressure was most acute upon those stocks which have advanced most conspicuously of late. Missouri Pacific fell 2 points below last night, and the other Gould stocks and the Grangers and Pacifics were generally affected in sympathy. Southern Pacific resisted the de- cline, but ylelded its opening gain, recovering | again to about the best in the closing rally upon upon enormous dealings. - St. Louis South- western preferred also moved up 2 points over last night just at the close, Pennsylvania, Louisville and Nashville and Rock Isiand had periods of strength. The newest favorites in the rumors of deals were the Toledo, St. Louis and ,Western stocks, which were bought in a demonstrative way by the Western speculative 7, closing at the top. The market generally closed firm. s The bond market was generally easier. Total sales (par_value), $2,385,000. United States refunding 2s advanced %, the | old 4s registered and 5s registered 3 per cent AND GENERAL | T. and the 5s coupon 14 per cent on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stocks— High. Low.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: The weather conditions have been favorable and the country is a week nearer to realizing the largest harvest In its history. Fall trade in the northern and west- ern sections has expanded, and in the West ard Northwest may be said to be in full career with every sall drawing and the best of out- prices, The need of larger quantities of money to move the crops is appreclated and confidence ‘In the work of handling the crops with a mini- mum of friction js widely expressed, though a further seasonable tightening of the situation is looked for. .The physical handling of the crops by the rallroads presents a problem which ust also be met, and the possibility of a car shortage looms up second only to the sound financing of the movement itself. The favorable trade features noted this weeic are the expansion in the fall demand for dry goods, hardware, groceries, shoes and millin- ery at leading markets, North, West, East and Northwest, the more optimistic views ex- pressed as to the large size of the Southern cotton crop and its effect on future business, the strength of iron and steel, caused by the curtailment of production in July as a result of shortages in fuel supplies due to the strike and car shortages, the firmness in lumber mills being heavily sold ahead, and the continuance of the improved export demand for cereals, particylerly wheat, with the steadiness in Prices "of actual grain, which is in active re- Qquest, while speculation is rather slow. The | less fayorable features noted are the restriction | of trade in summer goods caused by the cool | Weather, the continuance of the deadlock at the | anthracite coal mines with' the growing ner- Vousness as to supplies and prices if the strike continues until cool weather and the untavora- ble figures of July export trade, caused by the | projection of last year's conditions into the Present season. Collections, as a_whole, are Classed as seasonable. Pigiron production is | gtill’ restricted by scarclty of cars affecting | coke supplies and the anthracite strike. Nothing like the present activity in hard- ware is recalled. All markets report activity in this line and Chicago notes large sales for spring delivery. Tin is weaker on lower for- elgn markets, and copper is nearly a half cent Tower and weak on full offerings at concéssions. Wheat (including flour) exports for the week | ending August 14 aggregate 4,391,805 bushels, % | against 4,244,303 bushels last week and 9,- | 639,761 bushels last year. Wheat exports since % | July 1 aggregate 26,990,008 bushels, against 44,071,998 bushels last season. ‘Business fallures for the week ending Au- gust 14 number 161 as against 169 last week and 178 in this week last year. P e % | Duwn’s. Review of Trade. —_— % NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—R. G. Dun & Com- pany's Review of Trade will say to-morrow: Prospects have greatly improved through nu- | merous labor controversies, vet the anthracite | coal situation is unchanged and supplies are | nearing depletion. Distribution of merchandise has met with some interruption oWing to | freight blockades, the volume of business being very heavy. Statistics of pigiron production of August 1, according to the Iron Age, are more satisfactory than might have been ex- | pected in view of the great scarcity of fuel. Shoe manufacturers at the East have re- celved practically_the fall orders that will be placed, and new business is now restricted to samplé orders in sprnig lines. Leather has again risen in price and sales were heavy dur- ing the past week, not only in sale, but also upper stock and belting butts. Recent violent advances In hides have been fully maintained and large transactions occurred, while heavy Texas steers reached a new record price. Desplte the very favorable reports from dry | goods jobbers regarding the voiume of business transacted and the bright outlook for falt | trade, conditions in the primary market and at | the mills are now devoid of incident. | "'Considering the official report of cereal crop | conditions the firmness of quotations during the | | past week has been somewhat surprising. | “'Failures for the week number 19 in the | United States, against 168 last year.

Congestion on contract stocks was marked with one house practically in control. The opening was somewhat wild, with every- body wanting stuff and offerings very light. That manipulation was practically the entire cause of the upturn seemed reasonable from the’ fact that receipts, primary, local, North- west and Southwest, were much heavier; that Argentine shipments were increased, that the Hungarian and Roumanian crops were large and that exporters offered freely with few ta- kers. Although September was the manipu- lated month, December profited to-day.

Off stock of river Burbanks were offering on the whart at 25@36c per bag. The Growers' Agency sold scme at auction at 30@40c. The first carload of this season’s crop of Eweet Potatoes came in from Merced and sold readily at 2%c per Ib. Stockton Sweets were offering in small quantities and sold at 3¢ per b, Onions, like Potatoss, are in free supply and very dull. QGreen Corn in crates from Alameda was of poor quality and sold slowly at easler prices. Choice young Corn from other localities sold readily.

Poultry and Game. Small chickens, such as Broilers, Fryers and Young Roosters, were in heavy supply and the market was easy for that line of goods.

Dealers as a rule are quoting FEgsgs top- heavy and not mearly as firm as they have Teen. The advance was evidently too sharp | and ranid and a reaction in the tone of the | market is perceptible. Prices are maintained, for almost every dealer has either Western {or cold storage stock, and often both, which | he wants to work off, and the present high | auotations give him his opportunity. Hence |1t Is for almost evervbody's interest to keep rices up. At the same time, however, while | fme ranch are quoted up to 29, buyers of | | round lots can secure what they want at 27%c | without any trouble to speak of, and there is n>_scarcity of stock. Butter is not over firm. Most of even the ‘best creameries are coming in soft and in | otherwise poor shape, which tends to weaken | the tone of the market. There is not a great deal on the market, but there is enough for all current needs. There is nothing new in Cheese. Recelpts_were 8100 Ibs Butter, y reamery, 25@26c per b for fan- cy, 24@24%c for firsts and 23@23%c for sec- onds; dalry, 20@23c; store Butter, 17@20c per pound.

The canners are indifferent buyers, saying that | they have more contract supplies on hand than | they can very well use. They are refecting | some of the consignments of Pears shipped to them on contract. | Figs and Apricots sold well, but prices of | other orchard fruits had a wide range, owing to the heavy supplies of poor stock. Grapes are | i moving a little better as offerings are coming | to hand in a more matured condition. Berries | sold quickly et previous prices. Cantaloupes and Nutmeg Melons moved off | well under a steady demand, but Watermelons | were auil. | The Growers' Agency sold some carried-over | Iots of fruit at auction on the wharf at prices within the quoted range.
