NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The creeping move- | ment of prices Which was the characteriatic | of last wesk's stock market developed into & strong and comprehensive upward movement he volume of transactions rose above | the previous total of any day during the pres- ent m The market was broad and | {the strength and activity were well distributed, prac a all divisions of the market sharing he advance. There was much selling to take profits during the day and constant re- | in consequence, but the manmer of | digesting this profit-taking wes more con- | v > the health of the market than | of prices itself, which has suspicion of manipulation and due tactics of professional operators ion has been effecti in keeping out of the trading in the the general public dread that the Drofessional operations would | pre possible successful completion and | would lead to collapse when the pericd to| take profits arrived. There was no important | develop n news to-day or since the close of market last week, but the early | tone gave g evidence of something | n of confidence in the | market. Outside orders through | ouses accumulated over Sunday were larger than heretofore. London was also | a buyer bere to an important extent. London | was reported in more confident mood over fts money _outiook. Capital was said to draw an mugury of a hastened peace in the Far| East as & consequence of the serious reverses | to the Russian naval force The basis of the | growth of confidence here was quite clearly the faith that the country is to enjoy pros- perous conditions. The corn and cotton crops showed the greatest effects from this faith, but St Paul as a wheat carrier with a large shipping traffic in wheat was not included. The question of the amount of wheat 4 was admitted to be undetermined as the high price promised for the offered as providing an offset for the short- | ness of the crop. The t conspleu ure of the market, however, was its diversion into the mew fleld of the trunk lines and coal carriers. These groups have been compara- tively neglected While the crops have besen of dominant interest. Good prospects In the steel- trade have held Pennsylvania at times, but the movement of thess stocks to-day the good to come from the crops to the whole country. United States Steel preferred w: the consplcuous laggard in the day’'s mowi ment. This was presumably due to the cur- rent rumors of & purpose to cut prices in the independent companies. which had a bad effect on the market. Southern Pacific was also | under constant pressure to take profits and made its highest price on the running quota- tiong were feverish and irregular throughout the day in spite of the Violent mdvance of Interborough Transit on the curb. The mun- settiing influence of these exceptions to the Zsy's strength gained force and the amount of selling for profits also diminished the dis- position of the professionals to support the market. This made the closing easy at reduc- tions running to a point for the active stocks from the high prices of the day. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, $4.775,000.

We think it should be kept in mind, however, In consider- | ing the latter, that the present demand for the recent large movement which has come from the elevater people and the grat bulk of the accumulation has no doubt gone into private houses and does not show in the visible sup- ply. Cash markets were a little firmer and good grades of wheat are still at some pre- ' mium. This s easlly accounted for by the fact that, having been bought by elevator peo- ple and hedged, they are only disposed to let | 0 of it where they can get a premium.

There are over 20,000 sacks 1ying on the wharves unsold, and unless subsequent receipts are light or the shipping demand shows some improvement, prices may go lower.

Receipts from domestic points were very light, but there was an abundance of carried-over ‘stock on hand. which met with very slow sale, as the trade was running almost entirely on Western stock. | Game met with a sluggish demand and Hare | and Doves were lower. | POULTRY—Live Turkeys, 16@1Sc per 1b:| Gedse_ per pair, $1 50@1 75; Goslings, $1 T5G2: Ducks, $4 50@5 per dozen for old and $4 50@ | 550 for young: Hens, $4@5 50: youns Roos- ters. $5 50@6 50: old Roosters, $4@4 50; Fry- | | ers.” £3'50@4; Broflers $2@3: Pigeons.’ $1 50 per dozen for old and $1 25@1 50 for Squabs.

The Butter market showed no change yes- terday, and dealers continued to complain of { the dullneas of trade. There is a good deal of second grade stock lying around, and this, in | connection with the largs amount of Eastern now being cut up into squares, keeps the mar- ket well supplied. There is no further change in Cheese. Eggs continue to move up. Some houses | tried to advance the market to 30c yesterday and fixed that figure as their asking price, but did not make much of & success of the | attempt.

Fresh arrivals of deciduous fruits were com- tively light and strictly fancy offerings let with a limited demand at good prices, but the general market was very weak, with large li of all descriptions to be had at | easy figures. The canners were out of the markt, being overioaded with contract supplies of Bartlett Pears. Plums and Prunes in open boxes were selling within the range quoted for small packages and stocks 6f Bartlett Pears were steadily accumulating. Peaches | wera fairly steady, as there was no fresh stock | recetved from Sopoma and arrivals from other sections were lighter than usual. Strawberry Freestones from Coloma sold at 75gS5c per | emall box, and Yellow Crawfords from the | same sections brought 65c. Apples were in fair request and top quality lots were firmly held at the previously quoted rates, but the | market was far from cleaged up at the close, Figs were plentiful and dull at easier rates. Grapes of good quality met with a falr de- | mand, but poor stock, which constituted t | bulk of the offerings, was slow of sale at ir- regular pri The market was still badiy congested with Cantaloupes and Nutmeg Mei- ons, and dealers found it imgossible to clean up even at the inside rates. Blackberries and | Huckleberries did better under light receipts, | while Strawberries and Raspberries were plen- i tiful and lower. Citrus frults were quiet and | unchanged, while Bananas were in excessive supply and weak. STRAWEBERRIES— —— per chest for Long- worths, $4G3 for Alviso Berries and $2 505 for the larger varieties.
