Amount of old corn on hand very much less than at any time in five years. Harvest reports from Northern Ohio show 95 per cent of the fields of winter wheat are thin." A let ter from Mandan. N.

Apparently the principal reason for the cessation of bull manipulation wan the demonstrated futility of the attempt to attract outside buying. Predictions of dividend action on Baltimore & Ohio are bo far discredited that the stock went •backwards today, and even Union Pacific, which has been advanced by much more aggressive management, fell back almost as much, the latter losing 1% net and former 1%. The increase in the dividend rate of Illinois Central apparently did not add to the credence given to predic tions of other dividend action. Yesterday's violent rise of 4 per cent to Pacific Mail, and the strength of Pa- Clflc railway stocks was more fully ex plained by today's detailed reports of the chartering of steamships in the P.-^inc by the United States government, and in the Atlantic by the German government, for use in the Pacific, to transport mili tary supplies to China. But the inviting prospect thus offered of lucrative traffic for the transcontinental railroad lines was offset today by some other consid erations of the results to accrue from war in China. Wall street has not given much attention hitherto to the check in export trade in taxtiles caused by the unsettle ment in China. The uneasiness caused abroad by re ports of Boxer inroads upon Russian ter ritory brought sales of securities in New York for foreign account, and a reminder that forced liquidation- abroad might through considerable:- burdens upon the New York stock market. The day's shipments of gold were a re flection of the money needs of foreign markets, which are not unlikely to •scow acute if.the government expenditures for war preparation should become large. To day's engagements, amounting to $2,«00, --000, were more than a million less than was anticipated. A further sharp ad vance in sterling exchange at Paris, a reduction in the Hank of Kngland's price for American eagles and a slight decline in the London rate of discount, as well as a softening tendency in the local ex- Change market, were all developments towards a lessening of the attraction at Paris for gold. An advance in the Bank of England rate of discount tomorrow is not felt to be so certain now as yester day. The Immediate continuity of the gold export movement is thus felt to be in some doubt. But if military operations are to be carried on in China the needs of foreign governments for capital will pretty certainly converge upon New York, as this is now the cheapest money market in the world. But uneasiness is caused by the eonjueture as to the effect upon the New York money market when the interior demand for moving the crops is added to the foreign demand. The money market in New York con tinues very dull, but funds for time loans for the longer periods are scarce. The bond market continued very dull and the fluctuations were uneven. Total sales, par value. $905,000. United States 3s registered declined V* and the new 4s % in the bid price. The 3s coupon advanced M and old 4s % per cent. STOCK QUOTATIONS Furnished by Charles H.
