Tbs rhllMsphlilnK of a a'reftolonl Brr.
Stimulated by furthor uafnvorablo reports
about Uio Russian crop and by additional buy.
lng for forelun Account, Uio prico of wheat took
another Jump yesterday. Tho icsnlt waa inoro
excitement on tho Produce Kichange than It
has won In months. Prices shifted rapidly and
traders had all tho business thoy could attend to.
Shortly after tho market opened a purchase
of ten boatloads of wheat for future dcltrcry for
a Continental account was recorded. Thoro
were traders on the floor curious enough to In
quire for Just what account the purchase was
made. A carof ul Investigation brought ont that
the wheat, when shipped, will be delivered In
France. Thero have been rumon for some tlmo
that Franco would be a buyer of American
wheat thla year. Thopurohaee yesterday, how
aver, was tho first one that has thus far keen
traced to tho French aocount.
f IUght on top of this oame a cable from Parla
iV to one of the largest grain commission houses
tfj In the city saying that, owing to the ahortnoss
ni ' , of her own wheat crop, France will soon abolish
f i . the import duty on wheat. This news, although
'' not backed up officially, was taken as a sotne-
S.V what startling indication of what this year's
k? Yrheat crop In France will really be.
' The market took anothor Jump when these re-
' ports got Into circulation, and advanced still
further when It was learned that Inquiries
from Draril for twenty boatloads of wheat had
,.. been mado Just alter the markot opened. These
sL Inquiries wero ausweied by offers, and noar
J." the clone of tho day's business tlfteon boatloads
m lad boon engaged, most of which 1 tu bo shipped
if lmmt-dlatcly. For the Continental and English
ST aocuunts nfono tho day's purchases amounted,
H In all, to twenty loads, 160,000 btitliels.
fj: All Uie60 reports only teudod to convince
K traders that the United Btutes will bo the
, world's chief seller of wheat this year, simply
v - because other countrlos will bo able to supply
R "" , tholr doflcloncles nowhere elto.
After tho Produco Ilxchango had closod yea-
rterday afternoon, an old operator left tho floor
and strolled Into the offlce of one of the com
mission merchant in the building. His face
j was very grave and ho said nothing for a few
. minutes as he pncod up and down tho floor.
Jr Finally ono of tho firm remarked:
U "Choor up. Whit! ou look as If you
i thought tho good old bear days would never
v come again."
fct "OhTblank tho good old boar davst" replied
;f'. the vctoran. "I'm not thinking or that. I'm
V; thtnking of what a blooming ass I've been.
3 From t. natural bear, 1 l.ecumo a bull about ton
days ago. Last night I had 120,000 bushols of
if 'Wheat which I had bought durinc tho day,
!S feeling Buro tho market would go up to-day.
M Jiut before the market closed I had a chanci
.;, to buy 75.000 bushels at a fairly low figure. I
v. thought tho matter ovor, my natural bear In-
?' 1110018 asserted themselves, and I decided not to
,l buy. Not only thpt, but I'll bo banged If I
didn't sell.tho 20,000 bushels I already had. Of
(; courso I didn't loso muol), bat Just think
,,: what I might have made. I wish some one
5 would kick mo around Uio block a couple of
Ji times. I think it would do mo good.
;',. "It's all right, however; I'll know more next
p' time. And you fellows lust remember one
p thing: The condition of the wheat market Is
SS going to teach a lot of things to a lot of people
JT ui tills country. Tho farmers of the West will
Bl know A heap more after they bu vu got rid ot their
',''. crop this year than they dla before. They will
H: learn, for Instance, after the money has found
6 its war Into their pocket, that it wasn't B.-yan
ft and his nostrums they wanted to make them
;S prosperous, but a markot for their crop. A
? little supply and demand medlclno is what they
p. needed, and they'll say so before snow flies.
- "The rise In the price ot wheat Is Just what
k will kill Bryan and Bryanlsm so dead that there
f.: will be no possibility ot a resurrection, at least
V pot until another cycle ot hard times rolls
s 'round. I tell you, boys, good times are Tight
ffi upon us. I don't know Ipnlnd that 73,000
bushels of wheat; after all. I know more'n I
. did yesterday."
I? The market opened yesterday with July wheat
quoted at 81. The highest point reached was
?'; 81?i and the closing price was 81ft. tSeptem-
a ber oloscd on Thursday night at 71. The
f , highest and closing price yesterday was 755L
R'i After the Exchange doled trading continued
SC, pn the curb, and iGH was offerod tor Septem
ber wheat, with no sales. It was noted yester
day that the trading In distant options was
quite active. Decern her wheat closed on Thurs-
i'f day night at 76M. Thti closing price, last night
- was 77 bid. The first carload of new wheal to
-i ' reach this market this year was received from
V. Ohio by Mclntyre & Wardwell yesterday.

Friday, July 10.
Tho tarUT alt uatloa at Washing ton continue
to bold the market In check. The falling off In
deaUnin to-day, as compared with yesterday,
wasprtmounoed.butdulness waa not accompa
nied as It frequently Is by a lower rato ot prlocsj
on the contrary, the market was, with the
ceptlon of a comparatively small number of
stocks, strong throughout. Tho exceptions were
comparatively unimportant. Among them wcro
' Consolidated Gas, Manhattan Railway, and Sus
quehanna and Western stock Tho publicity
given yestorday to tho only acknowledged
movement for a chango In the control of tho
Busquehanna and Western Company evidently
dampened the ardor of professional operators
and of traders generally, who thought thoy had
discovered In tho shares of tho company a
second New York and New England market
mystery. The Susquehanna and Western road
undoubtedly has a strategic os well as In
trinsic value, but neither Is likely to be Im
proved should tho control pass Into tho
hands of tho amiable financier who have gone
abroad to Interest foreign capital In the
company, presumably for the profit that
might be secured by extending tho road
until it should become a disturbing factor In tho
anthracite coal trad and among the trunk
linos. Persistent circulation of report that
substantial Interests are likely to secure control
of the property to prevent Us becoming a dis
turbing factor as Indicated above and to utilise
It In connection with some one of the largor coal
carrying companies were not corroborated by
tho dealing In Susquehanna and Western
shares nor by tho prices recorded for them.
The heaviest trading was In Sugar rtoQnlng
Bt. Paul, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and Loul-,
vllle and Nashville. They worn tho only stock
In which the transactions exceeded 10.000
shares. The last two scored net gains ot m V
cent each. The advance in Louisville and
Nashville was regarded with a good ileal ot sat
isfaction In vlow of tho recent steady selling of
that stock by London and the fact that foreign
arbitrage houses wero buyers of It to-day. The
unusual transactions In Brooklyn Rapid Transit
securities and sales ot both the stock and the
bonds at tho highest prices yet recorded
for them revived rumor of posslhlo alliances
between the company and connecting lines.
Sugar Roflnlng was comparatively neglected,
and although tho most trustworthy advices
from Washington foreshadow the ultimate
adoption of too House sugar schedule, tho stock
rallied la cent, from tho lowest price and
dosed fractionally higher than yesterday. The
trading In It was almost entirely professional,
and traders for either account betrayed unusual
nervousness. The further rlso In the price
of wheat, together with cumulative evi
dence that unusual demands for bread
stufrs will be made upon this country
during tho present crop year, account for the
underlying strength of the market for the shares
of tho Granger trunk lines. A further material
advance In East River Gas securities Is ac
counted for by the announcement of the plan for
consolidating tho company with tho Equitable
Gas Light Company, details of which are prin tod
In another column. Minor features of the mar
ket were evidence of renewed Interest In Atchi
son and In American Spirit and noteworthy
net advances In a number of stock that are
rarely dealt In. The closing was strong at the
best prices.
Final sales compare with those ot yesterday
as follows:

The foregoing monthly statement of tho exports
of tho Unit ei I States makes n remarkable snow
ing. Never before In the history of the country
havo the exports of merchandlso reached so high
11 llguro ns during the llscal year ended June 30,
1807; nor has the excess of exports over im
poTta ovor been so largo. The only tlmo those
ligurcs wero approached was In 1802, whon tho
United States mado heavy shipments ot grain to
feod Europe, which was suffering froruasorics
of doDclont harvests.
Regarding the movements of currency for tho
week the Now York Newt Bureau furnishes the
following statistics: Tho banks report that the
turn ot tho tldo of tho currency movement haa
not como yet, but they see signs that It Is not
for away, and that soon the country may be
taking how York's reforves. Tho general Idea
Is that tho chango may occur soon after Aug. 1.
This Weok tho net receipts of the banks from
the country were about $1,500,000, and no loss
by gold exports was sustalnod. At tho Treas
ury the banks gained about $0,500,000. Tbo

Indicate the following results for the full week:
Total receipt. $13,200,000, Including $500,000
from other ofllces of the Treasury Dopsrtmont;
total payments. $22,700,000, Including $3,300,
000 to other oQlces of tho department."

tho United States during the week ending to

responding week of last year. It. O. Dun & Co.
compute the liabilities of firms falling during
tho first olght days ot thla month at $1,557,401,
against $4,417,950 In the first nine days of tho
samo month lost year.
The receipts of the Government to-day were:

In another column will be found an Invitation
to tho stockholders of tho Equltablo Oas Light
and tho New York and East River Gas com-
fanloi to deposit their holdings with tho Con
ral Trust Company with u view to tho prep
aration and execution ot a plan for uniting the
two properties. The movement haa been started
by romo ot the lurgn stockholders In the two
companies, who foresee that the new law. which
provides for a gradual reduction In the
prim nf gng which may bo charged In
New York city, will compel economics In
oprrn'lon in ordor to maintain a reasonable rate
of diviilond on the Investment. If holders of
moro than two-thirds of the shares of tho re
spective companies deposit their holdings with
tho Central Trust Conipinj before Sept. 1. a
plan of reorganisation will bo presented for the
approval of stockholders.

The speculation In cotton to-day wat doll and fsature
lcia. The principal factor was the continued dry
weather la the cotton belt, and under Its lafluence
prices advanced. II It generally believed that no ac
tual damage has been donn tn the Southwest as yet
by tbo drought, but It Is tho fear ot demauu that mit
talnt the marKeL Liverpool bought Aujuit here, but
sold the late mont'is. Spot cotton here wat firmer,
with a fair demand, and tho Southern spot markets
wero firm, while the receipts for the week were light.
Houston, TCx., July 18 "Tbenrst part of the week
wat very bot and dry, and very serious complaints
wore received f rmi south and southwest Texas that
the pttnt was beginning to suffer for want of rain,
especially the late planting. During the latter part
uf the week fair to cood rains fell In east Texts and
light scattered showers In south and north Texas, and
reports have Just come In ot yesterday's showers,
more or lets heavy. In south and southwest Texas,
which will do the plant a great deal of good! but w
think a general good rain, especially In south and
touthwett Texas, It needed to offstt the effecu of the
seorchtng heatot the put two weeks," jtberd'-nn.
Miss., July 18. "Since our last report the weather
hat been very dry, exeept during the past ten days
partial showers have been of dally occurrence In some
sections. A general soaking rain It needed. The
cotton plant It small but well formed, aud while
there hat been Insufficient mo'tture to produce much
growth ot tttlk, conditions have been conducive to
growth ot tap rooUwhleh gives the plant great vital
ity. Under ordinary condltlona of growth, the Intense
heat and dryness of the past forty dayt would have
materially affected the vitality of the cotton plant,
but planters have ploughed their fields regularly and
kept the land In excellent condition, to that thj
plant, though small, it vigorous and well formed and
flvlrti aro very clean! henoe. with ravorable weather
from now on, the plant It capable of taking on a good
crop."
