NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—To-day’s stock mar- ket r from yesterday's depression and terially higher than last night. re was a considerable contraction in the the trading and 1 was late in the n the disturbance in sentiment caused day’s break in prices seemed entirely vercome. This was partly due to the evi- dence of continued liquidation in Colorado Fuel, which it was feared was creating a sity to unload stocks elsewhere in the The appearance of support in that k and its rally to more than a point over night was an important factor in re- uring sentiment and its effect was em- sized by the renewed strength in Louis- and Nashville, which was supposed to related in a speculative way to the move- ment in Colorado Fuel. The points of strength in the early part of the day were somewhat scatiened and might be attributed to special causes. In the late dealings the strength be- came more general and the market broadencd out under the influence of & 2-point rise in Southern Pacific. The tion of the strength in this stock was not obvious beyond the fact that the speculative leader who has made this stock a favorite of late years Is now due to arrive from Burope. Ontario and Western continued its advance with a rumor that it was being sought by the Canadian ific as a conpecting link with New York ty, thus supplementing rumors of the Cana- dian’ Pacific’s purpose to enter Chicago, which were subsequently denied. The firmness of Western Union continued to ‘excite remark and conjecture as to a _possible combination . of ielegraph interests. When Colorado Fuel made its recovery there was a fairly general ad- vance among the independent iron and steel companies from which the United States Steel stocks were conspicuous excéptions, the move- ments of the latter being restricted to narrow fractions. The grangers, Pacific and South- westerns quite generally participated late movement in Southern Pacific. The re- action in the wheat market helped this move- ment. Yesterday's flurry on corn while with no bearing on coming crops is significant of the very emall movement of the tale end of last year's crop which has been reflected In late returns of gross earnings of railroads in the corn territory.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The Commercial vertiser's London cablegram says: ok Realizations on the eve of the settlement caused a dullness in trading. The American department was much quieter. The reaction in New York is bringing local speculators to a sudden halt. Prices opened around paritles and hardened on Wall street buying of the coalers. Denver and Rio Grande and Southern Railway. In the street prices sagged again. Consols sold at 95%, Rio Tintos slumped to 43% on the poow dividend outlook.

Weather nditions have not been altogether f; Corn at the North or cotton at the Souty pie decadence in crop prospects is I a matter of trade sentiment reflecting unanimous reac- tion from earlier buoyant agricultural prospects, Industrial activity has never been surpassed, and what checks are noted are either, as in the case of anthracite coal stoppage, of date, or, as in the case of furnace shut-downs in the iron bills | plies. Harvesting, except of corn, has been completed, except in the more northern sec- tions, and results in these latter respects are more or less secure. The high' prices of cattle, sheep, hogs and produce are tempting and in- ducing large shipments, which seem destined to cause & natural downward drift in prices. - ““Fall trade is now in full swing at most of the leading centers. Buying of dry goods, shoes, clothing and millinery is liberal. Some sections, particularly the Southwest, report the best trade in years. But withal there is a tone of conservatism which tends to prevent specula- tion and any excess which may result in over- loading. ““Almost uniformly good reports as to collec- tions come not only from the West and North-. west, but from many parts of the South, where trade is picking up. “‘Some shading of the rosy crop conditions noted for some time past is reported in tele- grams to Bradstreet's. Spring wheat harvest- ing has been interfered with in_some cases by rain, but final promise has not been materially, impaired. “Raw wool is rather firmer on the whole, based on moderate stocks, the activity of the mills on fall trade account and the freedom with which buyers of men’s wear material for spring delivery are taking hold. “Lack of fuel threatens to make the shortage in the pigiron acute, hardware is in exceptional demand as heretofore, and machinery manu- facturers are very generally crowded to keep up with orders. ““‘Wheat and flour exports for the week ending August 21 aggregate 5,954,750 bushels, against 4,391,805 bushels last week and 6,606,989 in this week last year. Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate 32,944,767 bushels, against 50,608, 987 bushels last season. “‘Business fallures for the week ending Au- gust 21 number 181, as against 181 last week, and 181 in this week last year. Canadian failures number 26 this week, as against 23 last year.” *: Dun’s Review of Trade. — e NEW YORK, Aug. 22—R. G. Dun & Co.'s ‘Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Fuel scarcity is still the one serious indus- trial handicap. Protracted idleness-at anthra- cite mines increased the pressure for soft coal and coke, and despite the new records of output deliveries are utterly -inadequate, owing to the lack of motor power. Freight blockade of coke trains has closed many furnaces, while the in- creasing call for transporting faéilities on crop |. account gives little prospect of early relief. Notwithstanding the congestion, rallway earn- ings thus far reported for August show gains of 3.4 per cent over last year, and 17 per cent over 1900. Weather conditions have been less uniformly favorable for agricultural prod- ucts, yet no severe loss is reported. Current trade is of good volume for_the season, while | the outlook for ‘the-future is bright. ~Buyers | are more numerous in all the leading markets, placing orders liberally at well sustained quo- tations. As the active blast furnace capacity of this country decreases through want of fuel, for- elgn plg iron_is purchased more freely, and BScotch warrants have advanced by reason of the steady demand. Textile mills are well occupled, business gradually increasing in the cotton g oods al- vision and demand for quick delivery shows that stocks are low. New lines of lightweight woolens and worst- eds for spring wear are now fully opened, and buyers are placing much business. Footwear shops at the Fast have assurance of full op- eration for two months, although there is much complaint of quotations in connection with the sensational movement of the material. Packer hides at Chicago have attained new high record prices, and oak sole leather has advanced. Staple products average somewhat higher in rices, owing to less unlfnrm%! good news From the agricultural sectlons. No serlous 41 ester occurred, but excessive rain retarded the development of grain and interrg@ted harves ing. In many cases where the date of ma- turity has been postponed there is always a possibility of Injury from earlier frosts. The other extreme of weather caused complaint at the South, drouth I)emfl in evidence at many points. On the other hand, there were good | reports of early cotton picking, especially in Oklahoma. Coffee recovered from within an eighth of the lowest point on record, rumors of frost in Brazil proving more potent than over- whelming supp}ies. Failures for'the week numbered 207 in the United States, agalnst 205 last year, and 30 in Canada, against 87 a year ago. — e New York Grain and Produce. —_— NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—FLOUR—Recelpts, 12,700 barrels; exports, 19,021 barrels.

Every bid or sale made a quick change of from @lc in the market price. September trading throughout the entire session Was sensational. Tnfusntial had December for sale, but the early a in September sustained the latter mont Conditions that usually rule the pit were hardly considered. ~Near the close September railied and December fell off, September closing steady and unchanged at 57¢, and December e down at 423c. Receipts Were only 28 cars, six of contract grade. Except that the weather map was almost perfect, most of the ecarly news in wheat favored buyers. Cables were strong on the reports of frosts and dry weather in Ar. gentina. - Receipts were lighter and contract grading was very small. Above all shorts wers frightened, both at the advance in wheat and the tumult in the corn pit. St. Louis wae heavily short and wanted over 1,000,000 bush. els. The result was an exclted ‘opening with September % @%c to %@lc higher at T1%@ 72%c. After the rush of buying orders wes over brokers let go frecly, the crowd followed, and prices broke to T0%c. One of the factors was the falling off In the cash demand with Minneapolls and cash premiums off 2o from yesterday's figures. Much of the early heavy selling was by a prominent elevator concern | that has had September options congested for some time. After the Whipsawing prooess had shaken out many of the tailers thers was a fair rally. = September, however, closed rather enk, %@%c down at Ti%c, Selling for a leading bull caused weakness in oats.

WHEAT—The forelgn markets remained quiet, with no changes worthy of note. Broomhall cabled that rains had broken the drought in Russia and that better reports of the Roumanian crop- were being received. Chicago advanced ¥c, but fell back again. St. Louls reported the market firm, with a good cash demand and the crowd all short. Minneapolis wired that receipts at country | elevators were almost nothing. Bradstreet's gave the exports of Wheat and Flour for the week at 6,000,000 bushéls, which 1s larger than the movement has been of late. This market continued quiet and unchanged.

Potatoes, Onions and V egetables. Prices of Potatoes and Onions were un- changed. Receipts were light, but the demand was limited. Vegetables were offering freely and the market was generally easfer.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. There was not much feature to the markets under this head yesterday. Butter was rather easier, if anything, with two steamers due from the North to-day. Owing to conditions already stated fancy sweet creamery Is scarce and firm, while everything not strictly fancy is weak and dragging. Cheese is meeting with less demand. Eggs remain as previously quoted and no scarcity is reported. Receipts were 14,900 lbs Butter, 581 cases Eggs and 10,175 1bs Cheese.

Trading in deciduous fruits was of small vol- ume and prices showed little variation. Apri- cots were scarce and firmly held. Choice Figs sold readily, but Grapes and orchard fruits in small packages were easier with supplies plen- tiful. Quinces appeared from Stockton and were offering at 500 per box, 3 boxes being re- ceived. Receipts of fruit in bulk from the river are steadily decreasing and the market is gradual- Iy cleaning up. The canners bought some Peaches and Plums and a few lots of choice Pears. There are a lot of overripe Pears lying lrl“d“nd the street and wharf that cannot be sold. Raspberries were in light supply and firmly keld at an advance. The other varieties stood about the same. There was a better move- ment in Melons, owing to the warm weather, but prices showed little change. Oranges and Lemons were steady and readily commanded full figures, but the poor grades were dull. The market has been practicall bare of Mexican Limes for the past week, buf the steamer that arrived from Panama yester- day brought up 608 boxes. Another consign- ment of Zinfandel Wine Grapes came in from Antioch and scld at §22 per ton. RASPBERRIES—§10@12 per chest.
