NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, N. V., /tig. 27.— T0-day's market
was strong throughout and the upward tendency
of prices was practically uninterrupted by reac
tions. .Anything like a recession in the bids lor
stocks elicited no offerings and led to a lull in the
activity which soon gave place to renewed buying
and a higher level of prices. Many inactive stocks
were sought out and moved in the market, all at
notable gains. The movement even touched some
of the extremely low-priced, almost discarded li
sues. ihe strength of the market was apparently
iiased on a renewal of full confidence iv the im
roving tendency of general business. Some of
ihe railroads are making record earnings, and all
are showing increa*ed earnings.
Fuller reports of some Western grain-carrying
roads show tnat the tota Improvement in their
business is due in large part id the movement of
. general merchandise wes ward, and this is taken
as an Important Index oi the imp ovement In gen
eral business Tha continued ease i-i the money
market in view of those evidences of awakening
industrial activity causes surprise, but cheap
mon yls an Incentive to speculation. The break
in cr.":in was regarded in the stock market as
proving the safetv and abundance of the grain
crops and incited special activity in the granger |

LONDON MARKET.
NEW YORK, X. V., Aug. 27.— The Evening
rost's London financial cablegram says: The
stock markets were quiet and irregular to-day.
The tone was good on the whole, but dearer
money acts as a drag on inves ment in stocks.
Tbe policy Of the Bank of Enrdaad directors, as
indicated by recent returns. Is now telling on the
market. Money was In good demand to-day, and
[be bank has probably loaned over $600,000 to
the market demand. Am'-n* ans were good. nta
rios being especially in demand Ther; is mod
erate but log here still, but ii will soon stop unless
Ihe .New York market leads; Otherwise is very
di finite, South American and foreign slocks were
good Greeks were bet: er on Premier Salisbury's
proposals, and the belief that a loan of £4,000,000

• buying, silver was better on retorts of the
Lined stales having ove id for immediate de
livery. The Paris bourse was buoyant on the
Russian alliance, and the Berlin market was dull.

NEW YORK WHEAT MARKET.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 27.— Wheat lost 5c a
bushe to-day and the :owest point was about 10
pom s under the top notch for the season. There
were not enough influential bulls lett In the mar
ket to make a resectable fight against the de
clining tendency. They have -nearly all become
interested in corn, which everybody in the trade
has been educated to believe is on the
eve of a boom. Consequently when Liverpool
opened away off this morning and followed It up
with lurtner declines on later cables the local
market simply went to pieces. Ii looked for a
lime as If the bottom had dropped out so rapldlv
did prices run down hi 1 in response to the rain of
selling ordefs with whicii the brokers bombarded
the market. There was practi all*.- n.. support
other than thai afforded by a little buying against
pus. 9BS£BR39M
The December option settled to 95c on first
sales, whic b was a sbeer break of 4c a bushel
from last night. Then it skirmished around tor a
lime, buffeted up and down by conflicting older-*,
but soon settled into a steady decline, which
fin Uy lanced it half an hour befoie the close at
93%e. From here it. rallied to 94% c. where it
left off. Selling was general during tbe day.
Local nouses and foreign Interests threw over lib
eral quantities. In all 11.500,000 bushels were
traded in. At the close No. 1 northern wheat was
quoted nominally $1 061/4. and No. 2 red $1 021,1,
both f . a b. afloat.
Corn was not so active as yesterday. but
showed plainly the baud of a strong * nil leader
ship ; while wheat lost about 5c a bushel corn lost
less than a cent and closed pretty firm. There
was some ralnln Nebraska, but in other Important
corn States drouth prevailed. Cabl- s were higher
and 1 orel houses bought. December ranged
from 37 % cto 3s%c and closed at 373/

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
CHIC AGO, Aug. 27.— Wheat furnished another
sersatlon to-day. This lime It was the bulls who
suffered, September dosing 5%c lower and De
cember at a decline of 3%c, af.er a session remark
ble for stiia. l trading and extremely violent flue
tun; on*.
All the enthusiasm bad apparently leaked out of
bolder, of wheal at the opening. Liverpool fur
nished a disagreeable surprise to them, starting
2%@2%d lower. '1 his was entirely unlooked tor
after yesterday* 2c advance here, and it .fairly
t 'Ok the bulls' breath away. There was practi
cally no demand for December wheal at the open
ing. '1 be consequence was that it started at 90 :
@f<oc, or £%®3%c below yesterday's close, and
dropped almost instantly to 89% c A perfect
fl >oil of wheat was poured on the market for a tew
miuuus. 11 eluding many stop-loss orders. During
that lime there was almost total lack or buying or
ders but they marie their appearance at 8.-f^c.
and five minutes after December had rallied to 9- c
September wheat wis hardly heard of for th
first few minutes In the excitement that acom
p^nied the unloading of December, 'twasfuly
..s weak at tbe immediate opening, however,
star. all the way irom 9-% to 92. or a drop of
exactly 11% from tne highest point reached ves
terd-ay. The cxc tement soon subsided almost
altogether, and flue ions from the extreme
narrowness of trading were frequent and violent,
one or two moderate trades being sufficient to
i send the price up or down i /2 c < r more. That some
my-ter ous bear influence was at work on the
market befcr- the opening was the general
opinion. It wai stated later on what was con
sidered reliable auth rity thai a ccmbinatiou, mi
i eluding (har.es (.ouse man and John Cud ahy, hat
I b-en formed to break the alleged bull poo:, and
I that ih" gr-at ecc.-utrlci y of to-day's market was
\ due to the man'pu'alionu of the new combine.
I chica.o re« eipts were .62 cars, of which only
'14 were contract. he quantity taken from ore
i was 147,000 bushels. Atlantic port clearances
■ again confirmed the cenuineness of tbe j-.uropeau
I demand for American whe<t and flour. The
equivalent of 650,000 bushels was exported from
the principal torts in the last tweentyfonr hours.
The market was steadied somewhat by the mid
day strength of corn, bnt became radically weak
again on reports that .foreigners were reselling at
the seaboard December rose to 91V»c,. but de
clined on that to 88% c. It bad recovered 10 90
at the close. September sold as high as 96. but
closed at 95. , ■:
corn was badly demoralized at the opening on
account of the break in wheat, more favorable
i weather aud heavy receipts, 1642 cars. The open
j lug weakness was fo lowed ty a period of con
siderable strength with good country and foreign
j buying helptd by diought damage claims. The
i market yielded later, however, on heavy liquida
' lion started by the late dec Ine In wbea , and was
I quite weak at the close. A heavy busiuesi was
I transacted.
A fairly good business was. done In oats. The
[ opening was weak with everything else, elevator
j selling being conspicuous and quite a sharp de
cline resulted. Part 01 this was subsequently re-
I covered, but the market averaged weak.
I Tne opening . break in prices of wheat and corn
caused provisions to start weak, notwithstanding
I small receipts of hoes and a considerable rise in
their price at ihe yards. The subsequent rise in
| corn put the market climbing again, but the de
cline In that cereal later produced a selling pies
. sure that list the products all and something more
than they had sained.

BRADS Ki'S REVIEW.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 27— Bradslreet's to
morrow will say: The general trade situation con
tinues to Improve, and aside from the unneces
sarily prolonged strike of the soft-coal miners,
there is little in sight to cloud the outlook. ' Th 1
future of the week Is the advance in prices of al
most all leading staples, beginning with an up
ward movement all along the Hue In iron and
steel. Steel billets are now $1 50 above lowest
figures, bars $1 50. rods $3 and plates $1.
Bessemer pigiron Is up 25 cents and foundry a
like amount, southern irons are very strong on a
continued active export movement. Where wire
mill! have not advanced prices they have with
drawn quotations,
some Western steelmills are sold up to January
1, while the demand for earlier deliveries from
furnaces than nas been arraiged fur are quite sig
nificant. Lead, 100, and soft coal are blither, as
is wheat, notwithstanding one or two reactions.
Bradslreet's points out that the statistical posl' ion
of whea. is the strongest known since the Unl ed
States ii- came a considerab c exporter and that
Its price, as well as that f r bread, is likely to
materially exceed the present week's advance.
Wheat exports are of large vo time, aggregating
(wheat end flour as wheal) 5.419.653 bushels for
the week, as against 5,312,803 bushels last week,
3,281,854 bushels last year, 1,871,927, bushels In
mis week two years ago, 3.420.000 bu-hels In
1894, and 5.092, bushels lv th • conespon.ilng
week of 1893 With the exception of last week
this week's shipments are the largest since the
third week of September. 1893.
Corn exports show a considerable falling off, be
ing 2,682.452 busnels. against 3,929 03. ■ bush Is
last week, 2.610 .-.09 bushels a year ago, 1,1*^4,532
bushels In 1895, 119.000 bushels in 1894 and
1,1 6,300 bushels iv 1893.
There are 210 business failures reported through
out the United States, against 221 last week, 320

DUN'S REViEW OK TRADE.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 27 — R. G. Dun & Co.,
In their Weekly Revi of Trade to-incrrow, will
say: Speculative markets have their turns of re
action, but business has none this season, gaining
with a steadineis which is most gratifying. The
starting of works, increase in bands employed, ad
vance In wage 1 and in prices of products and the
heavy movement of crops, are facts be ore which
all specula. ive influences have to bow. The
week's dispatches mention sixteen iron wonts
which have started against one closing, fifteen
woolen works starting, and so In many other
branches, while many are preparing to resume,
and some have increased wages. While these
things coD'.inre— with grain rising and going
abroad In mormous quantities— money markets
have reason lor abounding confidence arid specula
tive markets lor strength, 1 ion pros ects are
contradictory as usual, at such a time, but it is
noteworthy ih»l nor.ecf them indicate anything
less than an ample supply of the great staples.
Wheat rose over t cents Saturday, with exag
gerated reports of Injury, fell nearly 8 cents, ad
vanced 4 cents and then declined sharply, closing
1 cent lower for the week. Much harm was done
to spring wheat In three stales appears, but there
are no accounts entitled to belief that the yield
will be beiow 640,000.000 bushels, which will be
25.000.0U0 larger than any other year except
that of 1891. In spite of great lack of cars wheat
receipts were 4,14*^,559 bushels for the week, and
tor four weeks 15,589,681 bushels, against 4.896,
--947 last year, and Atlantic exports, flour in.
eluded, though somewhat checked by -higher
prices, were 3,568.3511 for the week, against
2,207,516 last year, and for four weeks 13,387,687
bushels, against 7,310,177 ast year.
'ihe wool market reflects in eat strength and
further advance in some grades th* heavy buying
of. woolens which has set many nulls to work
night aud day ana caused makers of many grades
to withdraw them entirely from the market. But
while the mills have done somewhat more most of
them hold large stocks and the trading has been
mainly speculative between dealers.
At lust demand has so far overtaken the capac
ity of iron works that prices are growing stronger,
Bessemer and grey lorge 25 cents higher at Pitts
burg and pig In Eastern markets as much stronger,
because rebates and concessions are stopped. Bil
lets aiesl per ton higher; structural angles, bars
and plates about as much; rods, li®2o, and wire
nails 5 cen.s per keg higher.
'""he demand is also heavy for merchant pip.
and see,; sheets are very active. The advance
in iron and steel prices averages 2 7 percent for
tbe weak. - Buvtug of or-s continues he .vy, 600,
--000 tons In two weeks at Cleveland, and among
•he Iron works starting are four more furnace-.
While tin is weaker at $13 75, wiib large .irriva s.
copper is held at 1 1 14 c for LuKe by large oid <rs
and deliveries, end lead is scarcely obtainable b -
low 4c, sa cs having ben heavy. Conn llsvll.e
coke works Increased output to 123,614 tons for
tbe wees.
Hides are again stronger at Chicago, thou en
packers no linger lead, but country bides are
ca led scarce, although cattle receipts at the four
chief markets, 61,400 bead, are the largest for!
the corresponding w«e* since 189 J. j
Failures for the cast week are 223 In the United
Slates against 288 last year, and 34 in Canada
against 33 last year. . .' -
REVIEW OF liii; STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, N. .Y., Aug. 27. -Bradslreet's Re
view to-morrow of the slock market will -say:
While considerably less ictive and Influenced by
Irregular, reaction tendencies, speculation -this
week has continued to show a continued bullish
undertone, some of the leading Western railway
stocks eased off in price, but there has been an
upward movement 111 special stocks, that in Mew
\ork central being most conspicuous.
On Friday there was a renewed assertion. of
general strength. 'I be halt in the market is, in
tne main, attributed to reports thai the quality of
spring wheat ii poor a.. d involves a virtual de
ficiency In the yield, while the cold weather In
the. West, with reports that corn was not matur
ing was regarded as a matter of considerable im
portance. : (. .
Thioughout the week, however, the stocks have
be. purchased fieely at declines, and while the
excited public buying of a fortnight or so back
has disappeaied the outside Interest In the mai
ket is r.asonablv nood, and comni ssion houses
report the execution of a satisfactory amount of
oiders. The very favorab c arnings rep-.rted by
a number lof leading roads for ihe second and
third weeks of f Angus • reate a decided llish
luipiwsiou. The improvement in business is
also noted with satistactlou, and •specially the
better tendencies app-aring in the iron and steel
industries.

To-day's wheat market was one which gave the
longs nervous proitra'lon at the start. December
wheal opened at 90%@90c. declined to 89% C,
against 9:-t" c at the close yest, rday. There was
a flood of selling orders at the o. filing, as well as
plenty of stop-loss orders. The market was pan
icky and it seemed as though wneat would go
sailing down 10 80c before the decline could be
stopped. Privileged traders helped the situation
out by buying, thereby reilevin the strain.
Liverpool reported wheat 23/ 4 d lower. France
was reported rese ling cargoes. I here was plenty
of bull news, but It was lost s ght of in the
turmoil. Wheat Is becoming very, nervous.
Traders acting timid. After the clo-,e there was a
stronger feeling. December sold at 90 , 4 c on the
curb.

week there have been the following arrivals of
Coal: From Washington 16. 10** tons, irom British
Columbia 9056 tons, trt m Oregon 1276 ions, from
Australia 6267 tons; total. 34,707 tons. The last
mail from Australia' reports five cargoes of Coal
havl g left in Jul*/ and euht loading. Freight
rates on . Coal from the colonies are well main
tained, and tonnage difficult to procure at current
rates, but the recent improvement here In outward
grain charters will cause owners to modify their
views and seek this port, heme we may look for a
number of new names to be added 10 the engaged
list In the near future. Business In the fuel line is
repor ed fair and stocks In ya d are diminishing
gradually, since the new tariff became operative
no Coal charters from Swansea have been made.
Comparatively little from i ngllsh ports, none
f cot, and and a marked shrinkage from Australia
This omens a material increase In .the output of
ibe British c oitimnia and Washington collieries,
in fact the Influenc - ban been already felt on Coast
Coal freights, which have advanced from 10% to
15% over last month's rates. It is a query wuat
m..de of transportation we shall have for Coal
after March next, as every article that will float,
that has a stick or tunnel In It, will be in use for
the conveyance of gold hunters or glacier chasers
to Alaska."

A jtentleraan who had long suspected
his coachman of drinking more than was
good Tor him found him in the stable
yard one morning in his usual muddled
condition ana gravely charged him with
the fact.
The man protested, and said he would
do anything to prove that he was not the
worse for liquor. :■■-■ -' ; .
Taking him into the stable the master
aoplied an old test by drawing a chalk line
alone the floor,, challenging the man to
walk to it.
. The man looked up for a moment and
then gravely said:
"No jokes, master; which of them two
lines do you want me to walk on?"— E
