Teas are selling somewhat low unit there is no great disposition to buy. Cable advices are firmer in tone , however , and telegrams from Japan repoi t the markets theio stronger. The cable advices indicate that the slit mkngo in the crop will bo greater than was at first reported.

There was very little trading In December around the opening above UlHt&Dl c , which was teally the market. The excitement right nt the opening was very great almost as much seas as jostonlay. For the llrst time. In u week cables canio In rather tame , though , and there was an Indication of a serious set back. Then crop reports are somewhat better than the radicals have been trying to make them selves believe was the c i o. Wheat In the northwest has not been entirely dcstrojcd , us somoof the people on 'change have bc'ou led to imagine by their speculative advisers. On the whole tha bull spirit was cooled down to some extent. Outside buying Is more general now thnn it has been ut any time. It was the suppoit from that quarter that made Cudahy and some other local opoiators of Importance and weight think they had run against a stone wall when they undertook to hammer the market to pieces this morning. There was a sur prising small amount of wheat for sale con sideringly the sovei lly and abruptness of the bleak. After some little hesitation the mar ket advanced Vj@1iu and seemed Hi mat the recovery. The piineipal piossuro was on December , for which delivery Hutchinson was u Irco seller , us ho has been at Intervals for a week. Ho was a big buj or for Septom bcr , however , and his operations served to still further narrow the difference between September and December from 2cat the open ing to 1'ifo. Chicago No. 2 spring is clearly In high favor with men who are not afraid to como into contact with actual grain. Nearly l.OOO.OOJ bushels have been shipped out this week , tuo clearances for jostorduy ulono footing up ! lbl,000 bushels. At sundown the stock of No. iispiing in the tegular ware houses here was not much , if any , above 3,000,000 bushels. This will show a reduction in total stocks of about 750,000 bushels since last Saturdaj. The strength of the cash market and near-by options has revived the gossip on the subject of a deal , though there is nothing In the situation to justify such apprehension beyond the fact that Hulchlnson is a largo owner of cash wheat and holds contracts for many millions more for September de livery , against which ho Is supposed to have sold extensively for December. This might mean a good deal with anybody else. It may mean something with Hutchinson , and that operator is giving out m.v slerinns tips about the immense value that yet in iv at tach to September wheat , all of which is va- riouslj construed. The local market ranged b'JX ® Jlc for September or ' . > l'4 ( < t < ) J ) < fc for December. Fluctuations of 1 { < itH'u were frequent , und the explanation offered for theho violent churnings weio not satisfactory or conclusive. The market was In a st ito of high in ious excitement and subject to un reasonable and iiniensoniitg lluctuations most of the session. It was alternately very strong and uucoitalnly weak , but on every bulge , Horn 10 o'clock ' on , it was notic-ccl that theio was plenty of scattering wheat for sale. I'ho undeiljlng impicsslon seemed to bo that , however much higher pi ices might ultimately go , a good , healthy reaction was now in eider NuxviYork and most of the larger mat kots worn clearly of the same opinion , and for the Hist time In lour days the boars ventured to pi earn t some thing like an oigamzul iiont.

The corn ciop will , not under any condition , move with any dc- gieo of freedom during thu next three mouths. Not is there anything in the bust- ness outlook to Justify the conclusion that the absorption of money In other business channels will be about the customary autumn two race.

The increasing movement of wheat has compelled bankers In the west , southwest and southeast to draw down their eastern balances for the purpose of using their moDoy at homo , hence the supply of exchange on Now Yoik offoied from such sellers has been sufficiently largo to reduce the discount to bO cents per $1,000 between banks. These lluures render it as advantage ous to Dung funds from the cast by express us to sell bills , aud liberal amounts of money have been brought hero fiom Now York the current week. Foreign exchange was weaker during the greater part of the week , owing to lingo offerings of bills , induced by fieo purchases of railroad slocks und land by foreigners. Kutes on documentary bills wore ( i 82 ® 4 Wf. The New York stock market has been devoid void of sensational features the past week , und taking it as a whole , was narrower , but trading \\as on u somewhat increased scale. The public , which is always so cssonlial to a likely market , do not take hold with the freedom that commission mon would like to see but , nevertheless , theie is a fair number of outsiders in the maiket considering the unsellled conditions that are at present gov erning it. The future course of pncesdepends upon crops. If they are good the roads will have plentv of business Should they lurn out moio disappointing than ut prosont.thoro will bo many dissatisfied spoiulators , as they have placed their hopes of higher prices in good ci ops. London operated on a liberal Healp on both sides of the market , and ono house , having extensive foreign connoctiotiH , called in 10,000 shares of St Paul from the street to ship lo London. 1'iofebslonal spec ulators , who have run the nmrKet for some time past , weio moro inclined to go slow and lot the maikpttako itsown course. ( Jrangors , especially St. 1'aui , atlincled considerable attention. A largo "short" interest existed in the latter , at ono tn.io it being es timated nt 75,000 shares , and the price was bid up to force them to cover , and a good inunv weio duven in. ( iould stocks. North ern Pacitlo , the Orcgons and the Coalers came In for n creed degieo of attention and prices weio moiked up. The oainlnifsof the pi incipal roads for tlio second week in August that have thus far been reported make a fair showing , bill the gains for the mo-rt part were small. I'ho aggiogato sales on Ihe New York Stock exchange for the week we 10 1)51,500 ) shares. Speculative trading during the past week was of larger volume , particulaily in wheat , which advanced sharply , attracted the most attention and ilievv ti.idmg fiom other articles , and although at times there appeared to bo litllo animation , there was suftloient nt others to more than offset the quiet period. The outside public have more confidence in wheat than in any other coieal and are moro disposed to buy It conservatively. Foreign ers , also , have traded moro iieely In this market than for some time past. IJut they have learned to make quick turns , and by so doing secuted good profits The receipts at all the leading points are inci easing slightly , but the quality shows but litllo immovemcnt. Kxport ordois woio moio numerous and the outward movement shows an increase. Crop advices are rather conlllcling , but fiom Ihe numerous reixirts from the northwest , telling about the soveio damage being done , there Is undoubtedly some truth in Ihc statement rcporlcd , and the Indications are that the quality has detc"- loiuled considerably. HcporU fiom abroad are rather worse and the outlook Is moro favorable for higher prices for vv heat than a week or so ago. The quality of now oats coining in remains unsatisfactory , the nor- ccntiigo of contract grades being very low. A moie coiitiaent feeling was noted m pro visions and puces langcd higher. The ar rivals of hoggcoutinuo buiull , und best grades readily commanded higher pi ices. The news from the south regarding yellow fever wai not at all alnrmlni : and the "shoits" became nervous and covered quilo freely. Outslilt orders were also moro liberal , and betlct speculative business transpired. Shippers took hold of meats and lard with Increased liberality und the outward movement show a good increase over the preceding week am the stock of all the principal cuts of meal1 weio reduced. A heavy reduction was als < niulo ; in lard. Rivers and Vnlloyn. Scribnor's Magazine : Tlio valleys ol most rivers nrofot cat-clad.
