V., Aug. 20.—Speculation at the Stock Exchange was irregular again to-day, j but, in the main, the tone of the market was firm when the strength of sterling exchange, the en- ; gagement of 350.C00 gold for shipment to i Europe and the further sales of stocks for foreign \ account are taken into cpnsideration. At the start j prices were generally lower, a break in tobacco of ls/ g per cent, to 92, having induced selling by some of the small traders of bullish proclivities. ' Tobacco's break was the result of the announce- j ment that Attorney-General Hancock of this State Intended to bring suit .against the company for violation of the anti-trust law. The drop bro"ught j In orders to cover shorts, and a rally to 96 took place. Before the expiration of the first hour, j however, there was a decided change for the better, the bulls having taken the grangers and ' anthracite coalers in hand. • Reading and Jersey Central were advancing sharply, the first named selling up to 19% and I Jersey Central 1108*.

In the afternoon the market wasdecidedly strong for the low priced issues. Union I'aciric, Texas i Pacific, St. Louis Southwestern, Flint and Pere i Marquette being more prominent than of late.

EO.—Tne Improvements In wheat continued this morning and, if anything, was more pronounced than yesterday, but ■. the stronger feeling did liot last and before the session C'.osed the advance was completely lost. At the opening prices were barely steady, owing to some rather free selling by yesterday's buyers. After a moment's hesitation, however, the market rapidly advanced and did not stop until a gain of lc over yesterday's close had been established. Higher cables, comparatively light receipts at Chicago and the fact that tha receipts in the Northwest were neariy 100 cars less than last year, showing that the expected lnrge. receipts from that quarter were not materializing, were the principal causes for the improved tone. • ■ Liverpool cables were firm with futures reported %d higher. Receipts here were slightly in excess ofthe estimate, 89 cars arriving. Receipts at the Northwest were comparatively moderate, 713 cars orrlvlne at Minneapolis and Dulutb. Withdrawals from ore were 113,773 bushels, 47,712 bushels, including wheat and tlour cleared at the seaboard. Continental cables closed irregular. Antwerp being lower and Paris and Berlin higher. Heavy cover ing by the local and outside shorts assisted in ad vancing prices.. Free selling, however, on the up turn, by a large com on bouse and by elevator Interests, checked the advance. Later the v*-ry umall export clearances of wheat at-Nevr York 1992 bushels, had a discouraging effect and prices gradually declined, the close being weak at a shade above the Inside price of the day.

I in their Weekly Review of Trade, to-morrow will say: Improvement in markets and prices contin ues, and whereas a few months ago everybody was i nursing the faintest hopes of recovery, it has now j come to be the only question in what branches, if i any, the rise in prices and In the Increase of busl- | ; ness may go too far. A strong conservative feeline 1 : is finding expression, not as yet controlling the I markets or Indus ries. but warning against : too I rapid expansion and rise. In some directions the advance In prices, clearly checks future business. j The industries are not doing better than anybody 1 expected, but are counting upon a great business for the rest of the year. I ■ Since the speculative spirit and the power of I combinations pushed up prices of hides, leather : and shoes, the demand has distinctly declined, at I least for the present, and many works are out of I orders, while few are receiving enough to support a ' full production. Shipments from the East in Au gust foot up 356,378 cases, against 355,844 last year aDd 363,484 in 1892. The prospects for ; wheat has hardly Improved this week, though the price has fallen 114 cents. Western receipts have 1 decidedly increased, but are only 3.909,909 bush i els, against 6.428,294 last year: and Atlantic cx i ports are only 1,323,356 for the week, flour in ; eluded as wheat, against 3,427.448 last year. I In the past four weeks Atlantic exports have ' been only 4.663,589 bushels, against 11,701.853 last year, and this a'one Is quite enough to explain ; the failure to maintain the' sensational advance in ; prices which «so effectively, checked, the outgo. Cora is coming forward more freely, and septeni ■ ber price has declined a quarter. With the promise I of a great crop pork and lard are a shade lower. i cotton is rising as if there was not surplus of : 3,000.000 bales American carried over to the new I crop year, which begins with next week. ; Railroad earnings In August have been hardly I 3 per cent larger than last year, but 16.8 per cent ; smaller than in 2»92. the loss on grangers and j Southwestern roads being large.

BRADSTREET- ON TRADE. NE"w YORK, N. y., Aug. SO. — Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: Increasing wheat shipments ■ from Tacoma, Investments at Seattle, flour ship | mentsfrom Portland (since the establishment of j tlie new China steamship line) and a moderate I volume of trade at San Francisco, characterize the j situation on the Pacific Coast. ' Exports of wheat ! from fco;h coasts of the United States and Montreal ■ this week (flour included as wheat) amount to I only 1,871.000 bushels, against 2,389,000 bushels j last week, 3.420,000 bushels In the week one year 1 auo and 5,092,000 bushels two years ago. During nine weeks of the current cereal year, total wheat ! (and f.otir) exports from .the .United btates and : Canada amounted to only 16,000,000 bushels, as compared with 25,000,000' bushels in a like portion of the preceding year.

There is a marked improvement in coke, ptgiron and cement, -but Coal remains in the dumps In more senses than one. There Is consiaerable guessing as to how the j future market in Coal will shape itself; the rates of freight on foreign "grades Rre usually regulated by our outward grain freights. , They play see saw, i. c.. the advance of une means always a de -1 cllr.e of the other, as they work in an inverse ratio. 1 Wheat freights have declined fully 6s V ton dur ing the month of Ausrr.st, and an advance on Coal freights of at least '60% of the decline in wheat should naturally follow: this has not declared itself ! as yet. but must later on.

'. - •• . .-•-• • The Virginia Chronicle says: The advance- In Challenge and Confidence is based upon a recent ore strike of considerable iniponnncn and promise. The strike was made a few days ago. and the ore body is the first to be unearthed in either of these mines for several years. It Is located in Challenge groiyid, near the boundary Confidence, and is far away to the west of where any ore body of impor tance was hitherto found. It is on what is known as t lie tunnel level and is about 80 feet from the surface. It was located by •a '. west drift from the top of an unraisn from another west drift. Wednes day morning tne whole face of the first-mentioned drift was five 4 feet in I ore. averaging $40 per ton. Theore vein pitches to the west and the drift is being sent through it to ascertain Its thickness. How far it goes to the north and south and what its upward and downward extent Is, la not yet known. Indications favor the theory that it extends south ward Into Confidence. Some years ago a aood body of ore was found In Confidence, but it was located much further to 'the east than this'body, which Is out to the went In the nelghboriioo'l Of the claim worked by Sandy Bowers : iii early <la> • There is plenty of room for an : ore fco.iy in this region. Drifts will be seat north and south later on, and the ore followed in Its ramifications. The present strike 13 the b.st thing that has happened in the < i'.ikl Hill mines for some time. -• . .'.
