STOCKS . .tJlO.VltS. .
Nr.w YOIIK , Aug. 18. The stock market
today was nguln active and strong with an
uninl.stnkalilo broadening tendency and ma
terially higher figures were reached In every
thing on the list , and this In the face of heavy
realisations and the efforts of the bears pre
vented any further advance In prices. There
Is a large party wbo already think that the
rise has attained Riilllclcntly large proportions
tions and that many stocks have been ad
vanced too rapidly and therefore favor a re
action , but then vhu now buying In the mar
ket Is of Mich proportions that against the
selling to ronll/e , that of bears nnd of the
outside centers. Including London , the market
still advances. Today at least there appears
to bo largo buying orders and the upward
movement made steady progress. The rola-
tlvo Importance at present of the Union I'a
clllc alfalrs was scon In the steadily diminish
ing volume or business In the stock , although
the shares were sluggish and feverish.
Atchlsou was again tbe leader In point of
activity , while Louisville & Nashville still led
the upward movement , closely followed by
Kock Islnnd. The western operators confined
themselves entirely to the western stocks and
the Interest In thu movement of grangers was
great or than that In any other group of stocks ,
and while everything snared In the general
advance the Important movements were cou-
llncd to those stoeks. There were a very few
shares advanued. Among the low priced spe
cialties Hull'ulo , Rochester fi 1'lttsbur.s and
Plttsburg & Western preferred were most con
spicuous , but the Indusrials ! were neglected
with tlio exception of Chicago Gas , which In
ho o my tr.idu was strong ,
The news from tlio meetlnc of the directors
and creditors of the Union Pacific was reas
suring , and while that stock fulled to advaiico
until Into In thu day prices crept up from ono
to two percent , with shaip gains In a fuw
low priced share" . After tlio announcement
ot the arrangement agreed upon by which
the Moating debt of the Union I'i'.clllc is to betaken
taken care of there was a soiling movement In
that stock which wiped out all of Its advance ,
and realisations In the general list bee iniu
more abundant and prices yielded along the
Hue , the last hour being marked by a steady
though slow decline. This downward move
ment which was helped by the efforts of the
trader ! , to briiu about a ririotlnn was snlllC
clout In many eases to entirely wipe out the
early gains , and many of thu active stocks
actually oloied lower than last evening.
The trade In railroad bonds was again most ,
gratifying , the largest temper of the market
remained decidedly s'.rong throughout. nn
sympathy with the late decline In stocks
being shown. The active bonds are almost
Invariably higher and many material gains
n'ero made ( liiiln1.1 thu day's transactions ,
llnrllngtnn rose s' per cent. Western , New
York .t Pennsylvania' ' per cent.
tiuvernmeul lomls have been dull and
steady.
I State bonds have been entirely neglected.

ranuu on the leading options at tuts point
today :
ClllCAiin , Aug. 18. V. U. Logan & Co. , to
llryan Commission Co. ; Tlio wheat market
today h.is been fairly Ntoady. December
opening at IK' ' , selling up to 101'J , and closing
iitKU'i. Kngllsh and continental cables all
quote lower prices. Harvesting lu the north

About 4 O.raX ) wheat chartered. Corn ac
tive , reptomhor opened at ( I'i'4 ' and elosed at
M. There Is considerable talk of manipulation
In September. Wo cannot ounllrm this , but as
a matter of prudence we think It advisable to
cover all > -liurt contracts In September. Thu
out situation Is without a feature. Trading
light. Provisions steady. The principal huy-
lir.- bus been by packers and the soiling by
tired Imldois.
CillCAlli ) , Aug. 18. Kounutt. Ilopklnd .t Co.
toS. A. McWhiirter : Reports of reselling by
foreigners and loner markets abro id have
been thu principal points of Interest. Ivitro-
po'iu speculators appeared to have loaded
their lung lines nnd perhaps short for a turn

rowln-t and wider HuctU'iton ! < will doubtless
bo the exception for .iwhllo. Lo.'ul trader * as
n rule uclluve In .uatertally lower
pr'cos and are again working on the
short side , but are keeping close. Thu
export business lias been rather dull und
cables stnto Importers abroad hold off. Corn
has been conspicuously strong. Now York
btartlnir the upward movement by sharply
advancing the September option on the re
ported futclgn buying. Thu clique contlnucn
to work tint market , and possibly thu farmers'
alliance may bo IIMIMH tuned lo issuosomolioUI-
back-your-corn lltur.iluro. Such a move
would doubtless bo rnuro ulTcctlvo than In
wheat. It would bo easy to nut corn lo 7Ac or
fl.UJ If farmurs sluiuld rufiiso to part with
what they hold of the old crop , hut It Is lin-
prubablo that they could bo Induced to carry
nut such Kchonii' . Otts show no strength.
ProvUlons have rallied on covering by shurti ,
but looks like a tale on good milieu.

caused chiully by the news of tlio govern
ment's action in ordering the substitution of
wheat meal for rye in mn.cing bread for the
army. There is a growing belief that the sit

vanro in prices is not warranted by the facts
In tha case.
