Reaction AA'lilch Followed the New
York ">!«•«•! inn Tended to Help
.Matters Some.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.— Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: The v-jiume of
business throughout the country is
practically unchanged. New features do
not point to Improvement in prospects
for fall business. Industries generally
continue quiet with more men idle
than a week ago. The most significant
feature was a higher rate for money
early in the week and some difficulty
In obtaining time money. This disap
peared with the manifest reaction
against the free silver sentiment, which
followed the silver demonstration at
New York. Mercantile collections are
difficult to make at Charleston, and at
Atlanta they are poor. Jacksonville
jobbers report remittances slow, as do
those at Birmingham and in the West,
at Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee and
St. Paul. There is little or no demand
for iron and steel. Manufacturers of
hardware and jewelry report business
excessively dull.
The brighter side of the picture is
found in generally favorable crop con
ditions at the South, New Orleans and
Texas. The early movement of cot
ton is pointing to improvement in mer
cantile collections. The financial sit
uation at New Orleans is relieved by
sugar bounty payments. Collections
are improving at Pittsburg, and there
Is a better demand for dry goods and
shoes than last week. At Omaha
wholesale merchants report a very
general improvement. On the Pacific
coast the wheat yield promises well
in California, but general trade at
Washington and Oregon cities is rather
less active.
Exports of wheat, flour included
from both coasts of the United States
this week amount to 2.635,000 bushels,
against 2,747,000 bushels last week,
1,824,000 bushels in the week one year
ago. 2,979,000 bushels in the week two
years ago, and as compared with
6,129,000 bushels three years ago. Ex
ports of corn have increased very
heavily, amounting to 2,367,000 bushels
•s compared with 1,257,000 bushels last
**eek.
There were 258 business failures re
ported throughout the United States
this week, compared with 269 last week.
The increase as compared with the
corresponding total one year ago is
eixty-three. and as compared with the
like total in 1894, twenty-four. In the
-second week of August, 1893, there
were 409 failures in Canada this week
Is thirty-five, compared with thirty
five last week, twenty-nine in the week
a year ago, forty two years ago and
twenty-six three years ago.
BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL.
Week Mnrkrd by a Reaction Front
Benrtttli Tendencies.
NKW YORK, Aug. 14.— Bradstreet's
Financial Review will say: Specula
tion during the past week has been
marked by a rapid and in some cases
a very considerable reaction from the
bearish tendencies of the preceding
fortnight. The large falling off in de
posits and cash holdings, caused by the
local troubles at Chicago and' the
springing up of a demand for money

in connection with the crop movement
at the West and South, justifying
higher rates for money and at the be
ginning of this week the banks almost
without exception marked up the call
loan rate to 6 per cent, while commer
cial paper has been unsalable and it
has been impossible to obtain time
loans even at 6 per cent on the best
class of collateral. At the same time
call money has been in fairly abundant
supply and borrowers have had no
difficulty in making arrangements
from day to day at 6 per cent. A fur
ther gratifying indication was the de
cline in foreign exchange, the rate for
demand sterling falling to 4.87 1 / 4. Gold
imports are even talked of although
the market for exchange is about 1
to iy 2 above the point at which gold
could be brought into the country from
abroad. The effect of the high money
rates has also been seen in a certain
amount of lending of foreign money in
this market.
Relief from the fear of a money
squeeze "has doubtless aided the stock
market. It must be noted, however,
that the buying on which the market
has improved during the week was in
the main professional. Rumors have
been circulated, with what degree of
foundation it is hard to determine, that
certain large interests were sold at the
beginning of the recent decline and
have repurchased the holdings in the
granger and other groups of securities,
and there were also rumors which,
however, lack confirmation, that a com
bination of important financial people
had been formed to support the stock
market and prevent further demoral
ization.
DUN & CO,'S VIEW.
Trade Unusually Dull for the Sea
sou of the Year.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.— Dun & Co's
review will say: An extraordinary
spell of hot weather has affected trade
throughout the country and in the East
speculative feelings was somewhat af
ftcted until Thursday by apprehension
of the possible influence of the Bryan
meeting. With cooler weather there
came also on Thursday perception that
the meeting would not affect business
unfavorably. But other conditions
were not stimulating. The week closes
as last week did, with domestic busi
ness unusually dull for the season.
Measured by clearing house exchange
it was 6.0 percent smaller than last
year, and 15.5 per cent smaller than in
the same week of 1892, the last year of
full business at this season.
The government crop report for Au
gust was so gloomy that a great rise in
prices would have followed If it had
been entirely credited. Official and un
official estimates of great decrease in
the wheat yield are confronted with a
movement from the farms of 3,5*50,741
bushels for the week against 2,295,242
last year, and It scarcely seems reas
onable to believe that 20,700,000 bushels
, wculd have been marketed since July
1. this year, against 11,625,262 last year,
if the yield had been smaller, with the
price 9 cents lower than a year ago.
Atlantic exports, flour included 1,409,
--780 bushels against 889,301 last year, are
not enough to account for the differ
ence.
Failures for the week have been 298
ln the United States, against 196 last
year, and 36 in Canada against 38 last
year.

CRAZY INDIANS.
Wild Over the Promises ot a Divine
Leader.
NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 14.— A strange
religious fanaticism, finding its motive
power in the preaching of a newspaper,
actuated the attack made on Wednes
day on the Mexican custom house at
Nogales, Sonora, just across the line.
The known facts about the mob are
that they one and all have been read
ing a halfbreed newspaper and most of
them had been working as section
hands in the employ of the Southern
Pacific. They were not after plunder,
in the usual sense, for they neglected
to help themselves to a very consider
able sum of money in the custom
house. It appears that all are follow
ers of a magnetic healer and prophet
ess, for whom their admiration has
grown into worship and her they have
canonized as Santa Teresa de Cabora,
a living saint and wonder-worker as
they believe, having been told so by
Laaro Guirre, a postal and newspaper
man who has devoted his organ to
sounding her praises. The gospel
which he has preached is that Santa
Teresa is a divine or at least an in
spired leader, delegated from God to
free the common people of Mexico and
release them from the slavery in which
he tells them they are bound. A steady
course* of reading of this inflammatory
variety joined with a season of lack
of work on the railroads appears to
have exasperated them to the degree
that they were ready to follow the
way to salvation, pointed out by
Aguirre, the apostle.

HUGE COUNTERFEITING SCHEME.
Central American Coins Made Into
United States Dollars.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.— The secret
service bureau of the treasury depart
ment has been requested to look Into
a report of extensive counterfeiting of
United States silver dollars in one of
the Central American states. The
information comes from a Mexican
paper and was sent to the state depart
ment by Minister Ransom. It states
that in one of the Central American
states a company has been organized
by Americans who have purchased the
silver dollars of the state, worth 47
cents, and coined them into American
dollars, ft is said that 2.500.000 of these
dollars have been shipped into this
country, where* they have passed at
par. The story is discredited at the
treasury department, and it is said
that it would be impossible to ship any
considerable number of coins into this
country without the counterfeit being
discovered. If counterfeiting has been
going on the guilty persons could be
punished under the treaties providing
for such crimes which have been made
with nearly all countries.

In the ProvU%pn IrMt All the Hog
Product** Were Weak and
Almost Lifelt-ss.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.— Dull grain markets
were the feature of today. Wheat opened j
steady on higher cables, closed easy at 55c
for September, or %c below yesterday. Corn, i
oats and provisions were dvii and featureless. |
Wheat ruled rather quiet early in the day, I
but livened some* J later Mi the session, the j
range of price, being %c. The feeling was a ;
little mixed and unsettled at the Start, with j
j traders as a rule favoring- the selling side !
and initial transactions were at Vie decline, j
the market afterwards" selling off Vie more.
Later an advance of %c was scored, little of j
which was maintained, the close showing a ;
loss of %@%c. The easy tone early was i
attributable {o liberal movement in the North- I
west, which was said to be due to tight money j
in that section. It was a rather dull day in I
corn. The feeling manifested wags a trifle '
firmer, but no material gain in price was j
noted, final figures showing %@%e decline. '
The action of wheat was the governing factor. <
In oats the market had a better tone, and a j
marked feeling was noticed in the offerings, I
especially from outside holders. Opening j
sales were about the same as yesterday's ;
close, and September advanced 34c and May I
%c, but reacted at the last and closed easy I
with a gain of %c on September and %c on i
May. Provisions received some help from i
wheat, but the market on the whole was a i
weak one. Business was dull in this pit .is j
well as in others, trade possessing no life to I
speak of. September pork was the weakest i
thing on the list. Onening at $6.35, it sold |
oft to $6.27%, advanced to $6.37%, and closed I
at "*6.. J O. September iard started at $3.30 and \
broke to S3 25. (-losing at the latter price. '•

Gain Inclined to Weakness, Prices
Slightly Changed.
There was a fairly large trade in specu
lative wheat yesterday. The opening was a
little lower than Thursday's close, and a
still further decline of a half cent followed.
Here a line of buying came on the market,
and prices ac-vanced to a point equal to the
close •of Thursday. The news of the day
was bullish. Money conditions appear to be
brightening up a little. There was a small
trade doing in cash wheat this morning
confined to spot offerings.

Americans are favorably affected by the sup
port of the market in New York and by the
statement in parliament today relative to the
Venezuelan settlement. Prices closed about
the best. The rise, however, represents little
business here. One small failure was an
nounced today of a bull operator In Ameri
cans, It was due to the drop In St. Paul and
was of no consequence to the markets. There
are exceptionally large arrivals Just now of
American bills, most of which are apparent
ly directly connected with the syndicate oper
ations ln New York. The** bills are quoted
here at about 1-16 higher than other first-class

be supposed that the quality of the bills la
called in question. The Paris and Berlin mar

tional Gains for the General
Share List.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Further relaxation
or the recent tension regarding the general
financial and business outlook was again evi
dent today. There was a significant abate
ment of the late bear predictions, and about
the only check to the advancing tendency
of prices was the execution of realizing orders
for both domestic and foreign account. The
bears claimed at the close that the greater
part of the short Interest had been elimi
nated and that the market was full of stock.
The exchange market continues to sag, and
today actual rates for short and long bills
were reduced to $4.87*4 and $4.86*4. In addi
tion to the realizing, which characterized the
final hour, a flurry in money rates caused
a shading off from the best figures. The aver
age rates had been on a parity with the
figures recorded during the last few days,
3@4 per cent, but shortly before 3 o'clock
bids for small sums, chiefly by bear traders,
caused rates to advance to 7 per cent. Small
loans were made at that figure, but large
offerings of funds rapidly broke the
rate. The volume of business was
below the recent average, but the
dealings were relatively well distrib
uted, aside from Sugar and St. Paul,
which jointly counted for considerably over
one-third of the aggregate sales. Tlie tone of
the speculation was confident throughout,
and many stocks touched the highest figures
of the advance, some of the gains in" the
Industrials and specialties being quite ma
terial. The opening was generally higher
despite lower London quotations; and at the
outset covering of sorts was the main
feature. A reaction shortly ensued, followed
by a resumption of the advance, and the
best figures of the day were reached. High
priced shares scored substantial gains, which
were most marked in the Grangers and the
Industrials, ranging from 1 to 2 per cent.
Minnesota Iron broke 5 to 45, and jumped
6 to 51 on a single transaction. In the last
hour prices yielded to renewed realizing, and
the closing was heavy at net fractional im
provements generally. Railroad bonds were
lower in the early dealings, but rallied later
on the advance in stocks. The sales were
$816,000. Governments were strong, and
moved up sharply for the new fours, on
purchases of $19,000.
