Declining TruXs Give n Henry Tone to the
3Iarkefc Very Dull Again.
NEW YOKE, Aug. 20. Money on call
was easy, ranging from 2 to C per cent., the
last loan being made at 2, closing ottered
at 2.
Prime mercantile paper. 5V& per cent
Sterling exchange dall and heavy at
$4.82 for sixty-day bills and $4.652 for de
mand. Tho total tales of stocks to-day were 111,
SK) shares, including the following: Atchi
son, 3,635; Delaware. Lackawanna &, West
ern, 7,200: Hocking Valley, 4.S50:. Louis
ville & Nashville, 3,500; Richmond fc West
Point, 01,315; St. PauJ, 3,100; Union PaciUc,
4,110.
The stock market "became exceedingly
dull to-day, and tho expected close work
ing of the money market caused a drooping
tendency in prices after tho first half-hour,
and this, with the lower opening, resulted
in leaving most stocks a little lower
for the day. A few specialties
developed marked weakness, but the
heaviness in the general list is not
to bo traced to their influence, and Cotton
Oil and Chicago Gas were tho only promi
nent examples, being subject to influences
which did not touch the remainder of the
market. There waa no scarcity of money,
but the preparations for the quarterly dis
bursements with the inevitable shifting of
loans incident to that operation, together
with the usual withdrawal of funds over
the holidays, created a demand which was
rather urgent for the time being. Tho
street in general believes that with all the
adverse elements out of the way there mast
come better times, both in business and
prices, daring the fall. The dull
ness ' to-day was at times intense,
hut here and there were spots
of strength and activity, and Lackawanna,
Hocking Valley and Rock Island led the
early rise, while the trusts before men
tioned led the succeeding downward move
ment. There is considerable dissatisfac
tion with the issue of the debenture bonds,
together with the delay in the reorganiza
tion, and selling to-day was long stock, ex
cept the selling of Chicago Gas had more
the look of raid at an opportune moment.
The strength in Lackawauua and Hocking
Valley is directly traceable to the improved
outlook of the coal trade. The remainder
of the list moved only in response to the
general conditions, and dullness and practi
cal stagnation were the principal features
of the clay. While the money market is
now comparatively easy, banks . and' trust
companies are unwilling to make time
loans. The market, after the decline, re
acted slightly in the last hour, but the
close was rather heavy, general at small
fractions under tho opening prices. The
only material changes of the day were de
clines of 24 in Cotton Oil new stock and
m in Chicago Gas, and an advance of l1
in Wheeling St Lake Erie preferred.
Railroad bonds were again very dull, the
sales reaching only $4S7,000.
Government bonds were dull and steady.
State bonds were dull and featureless.

TRADING AT CHICAGO.
Wheat Goes Lower but Rallies Corn a Shade
Stronger Outs Steady.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29. In wheat there wn
a moderate business transacted, and the
feeling was unsettled, with prices again
lower. The market was governed more by
local speculatio'n than outside news, of
which there was but little received. The
opening was rather stronger and prices
iic higher, influenced some by firm
cables, and also efforts on the part of
"shorts" to cover. Besides, the decline yes
terday brought in some outside buying
orders. But renewed selling again started
the market down, and a decline of 2c was
established as compared with the early top
prices. Good baying started prices np
again and a rally of l5c followed, then
eased off some, and closed about c
higher for December and lower for May
than closing figures yesterday. Corn was
fairly active and rather unsettled, the
market ruling firm early around the open
ing and easier later in the session. Irirst
trades were at Oe advance, tho market
ruling firm for a time, then sold off 34'27hc.

and closed with a o gain. A fair
inquiry existed for cash property, offer
ings somewhat larger, and prices cov
ered about the same range as yesterday
and closed steady. The oats market was
fairly active; and a steady feeling pre
vailed. Trading was mainly in September
und May, and prices fluctuated some. Tho
opening was .io higher, but prices receded
''Wd 2C, in sympathy with wheat and com.
There was lair buying on tin decliue. and
as offerings were light a rally to previous
outside figures followed, and the market
closed steady at about the same to a slight
advance over yesterday's cloning. The
mess pork market was considerably unset
tled and trading active. Offerings were
free, with a fair demand. Prices declined
lTV&Oe early in the day, but rallied again

In lard a fairly active trade was reporter!,
but the feeling was somewhat uusettled.
Offerings were moderately free, and the de
mand was fair. Karly in the day prices re
ceded .02t;a.o5c. but rallied again slightly,
and closetl steady. JShort-rib sides were
active for January delivery. Offerings
were liberal, and the demand was brisk at
times. Au urgent demand to realize early
in the day caused a reduction of ,05c in the
near ami .07 '.s'. 10c in the more deferred

DUN & CO.'S TTEEKIiY REVIEW.
Easier Money and Subsiding Habor Troubles
Clear the Prospect Considerably.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. R. U. Dun & Co.s
weekly review of trade says: The great
relief in the money market here, caused by
Treasury purchases of four-and-a-balf-per-cent.
bonds, the refusal of tho Federation
to take up and extend the strike on the
Central railroad, and the prospect that the
Senate will soon reach final action on the
tariff bill have all tended to improve the
state of business. At the same time, better
crop prospects have brought a distinct re
action in the speculations which most re
tarded exports. Thus, while the volume of
domestic trade continues greater than in
any previous year at 'this season, bank
clearings for August, outside this city, ex
ceeding last year's by 21 per cent. The out
look for the future is clearer and brighter.
Wool sales at Boston reached 3,005,000
pounds and many mills having substituted
territory warp for fleece wool in use, the
market for fleece has been weak. Better
orders for woolen goods are reported by the
mills. A fair trade continues in cotton
goods. Copper is firmer again after large
sales at 17c. Tin has advanced Lc and lead
is stronger at 4.70c, The boot and shoo trade
is large and active. The past week has
witnessed some further improvement in the
demand for manufactured forma of iron
and steel plate, structural mills being
crowded, with better prices m some cases.
But tho pig-iron market, according to pri
vate accounts from Philadelphia, is badly
disorganized at present and is not stronger
here. The doubt whether the production
is not much exceeded by the demand af
fected the views of buyers. Stagnation
prevails in the coal trade and it is admit
ted that May prices still rule in actual
sales. The restriction of output restricts
very imperfectlv, the total this year to
Aug. 16 being only 30,000 tons behind last
v year's record.
Accounts from other cities are even more
favorable than usual, excepting as t o n ion 63'
markets. Boston notes especial activity in
leather. At Philadelphia collections in
many branches are rendered slow by mone
tary pressure. Chicago, on the contrary,
reports mouey plenty at 6 per cent, on call
and collections easy, a better trade than
last year's in dry goods and clothing, a re
duction ot 75 per cent, in htockyard busi
ness since the strike, a decrease of 50 per
cent, in wool compared with last year, 20
per cent, in butter, and steady decrease in
dressed beef, but largo increase in cured
meats, lard, cheese, cattle, hides and 100
percent, in hogs. St. Louis has a fair vol
ume of trade, and Milwaukee notes rapid
absorption of money by grain movements
at increased prices. At Detroit, Cleveland,
Omaha and St. Paul trade is satisfactory,
and at Minneapolis the flour output is 17,
000 barrels, and the lumber trade is firm.
At Kanbas City no chauge is noted, and at
Pittsburg there is a good demand for manu
factured iron. Savannah reports brisk trade,
but Jackson ville much discouragement. At
Atlanta trade is good, and the crop putlook
very promising. Interior money markets
do not yet feel the relief seen here, and at
Philadelphia the market is tight at S'SO
percent, for commercial paper; at Pitts
burg active at 0 to 7; at Cleveland the de
mand exceeds tho supply; at Detroit the
demand is strong at 7; at Milwaukee the
market is very firm at 7, and at St. Paul
light, as it is at St. Louis, with 7 to 8 rul
ing, and at Savannah and Atlanta. Pre
sumably tlits pressuro will continue as bus
iness expands and products go forward to
market. The movement of some staples is
checked by high prices; wheat exports fall
far below last year's, and tho value, of all
exports from New York for four wcefcs
shows a decrease of 251t per cent from last
year. Rut prices have been yielding rap
idly, wheat and corn each about 2c and
oat Ho for the week; oil over 120. pork 25c

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS,
Trade Setting In llrlakly, with Strong Prices
AU Along the Line.
? JNDUNAPOLIB, Aug. 29.
In all departments trade has become quite
active, and largely in excess of the corre
sponding period last year in many lines.
Dry-goods men have had an unusually busy
week. So many months have prices car
ried a steady firm tone on all lines of dry
goods that retail merchants are inclined to
stock np ahead more than in times when
prices are unsteady. Boot and shoe men
are experiencing a busy time, and the boom
in the leather market has improved their
business as well. The hide market is act
ive at the advance in prices of Thursday
last. Dealers in hides have made more
money in the last four mouths than they
did iu the last three years while the mar
ket was under a cloud. All staple groceries
rule firm. Refmed sugars are up JlGc in the
East and raws c. Jobbers here have not
advanced prices, but it is only a question
of short time when they will be forced to
do so. Com syrups are very firm, and tele
grams from New York indicate that makers
aro oversold six weeks ahead. The scarcity
of fruits and still prices of canned goods
aud apple butter havo made extraordi
nary demands on syrups. Coffee is firm
and packages ought to advance lo per
pound, to correspond with the price of
green coffee. Teas are. very firm at the re
cent advance. There is no shading in
prices. Tho produce markets rule firm.
.Receipts of fruits of the season and of veg
etables have increased sumo of late, but so
active is the demand that the commission
men have no trouble in maintaining prices.
The seed market is firm and active at the
revised quotations ot Thursday.
