[ Special Tologratn to Tun Hr.K.1Tiio feeling In monetary clrclos is one of firmness. There Is n good demand for loiius from the mercantile trade , and they nro asking more favors than usual nt this season , probably duo to the fact thnt trade with many of them ha * , not been nt brisk as they expected at the opening of the season , licnco they have been Unable to turn over their stock with suniclunt readiness to meet their maturing obligations , and they are forced to seek temporary loans to tide them over. Now crops will soon inovo freely , but the flow of currency to the Interior has not com menced , There Is n disposition , however , to prcnaro for it , nnd country bnnltars are drawing down their balances hero nnd get ting themselves in position to do a largo buatnnss'thls . Itatoa of interest are flrm and I ! par rent Is tlio Inside for call loans und r > ) li ( per cent is frequently naked nnd oh. tallied.

Tbo Now York stock market was < iull dur ing tha greater part of tbo week , and the aggregate volume of trading showed u moderate falling off. The opening was weak , with considerable pressure to sell the entire list , and moderate declines were recorded. JSugar and lead trusts were the weakest properties traded in , and the former declined u'ver 'J points , while load only drop ped ahout 1 point. The latter part of this week witnessed considerable improvement , both in the tone of the market and the extent of the trading , and tbo early declines wore moro than recovered. London was an important factor In the market und bought about 75- , OIX ) Hhurcs. Thrfir operations exercised n de- clilcd Inllucnco in shaping the course of prices and induced good buying of the gen eral list. News from tha west was mostly "bullish , " operators nero buying nuito freely on reports ot improved crop prospects in Minnesota and Dakota. Thu sale of 100,000 shares of common Chesapeake & Ohio to the Yundorbtlt interest was looked upon as n "bull" card , as it gives tlio latter party moro power. This also tended to in crease thu "bullish" ' feeling nmong operators whoso tendency naturally inclines that wav.

A shrewd obscrvbr of thb ebb and flow of the real estrute traJtr ventures his opinion that the prcsant dullness is simply a sort of calm bo/oro the storm , and that it portends a sudden change later In thu season. Omatia ho says , stands too solidly for any falling off in values und us soon as tills fact Is generally known prospective buyers .will hasten to closu deals for w til on negotiations have long been pending. "A largo class of citizens , " ho continued , "havo been expecting a drop in the realty market and h.ivo boon waiting for that time to purchase sites for homes. Such ideas nro being rapidly dissipated by the rovlval of sales of suburban property and a big business in this class of property uiuy bo looko'l for this fall.

Tlio Provision Trade In Kntlior a Fen- turolcn * Condition IliislnoHa In Cnttlo Hloxr Hogs Oloro ' Actlvn Quotations. CHICAGO rnooucic MAUKBIS. CIIICAOO. July S7.--fSpoclal Telegram to THE Uun. ] The market was narrow , uncer tain and not particularly Interesting. The probabilities favored heavy receipts next week , nnd advices from the seaboard pointed to a good foreign outlet for a considerable portion of thorn. The llmpnesa la the July delivery pulled December down in sympathy early In the day , but the news toward noon WAS In the main In favor of the longs , and whllo July closed IJ o lower than It did on Friday , December gained ) < o upon the previous day's ' resting price. The market is loaded , but whether for boar or bull to-day's action did not give a very clear Indication. There was not much vim at the opening and prices gave uanustakoublo symp toms of sagging , and did sag from 7U.fu at the start for December to " 8 0. July , in the meantime , from BO o nt the beginning sold down to TOJ o on very trilling transactions. The nervous fooling In this month's delivery is by no means allayed , although the short interest is not now believed to amount to much. Hutchlnson was still showing an interest In the deal , nnd it wns his purchases or rather offers to purchase , fer there was not much for nala when his brokers bid for It which prevented a further breutc. From TSJjfo for December and TOj c for July there was a gradual but spiritless rally to 70K ° for the former and 80c for the latter delivery and some subse quent backing and tilling within a X0 raugo , leaving the resting llguros at 79 0 for July and TO c-for December. The recent break In prices has resulted in less confident soiling : , although a further decline. Is confidently looked for by t. bears , * who stand pat on recent Mos nt higher ilgures , expecting hcav. ecclpts next week to still further fortify tho. x > sition. To-day St. Louis received 140,006 xshols , but the inspection returns there , a voll as hero , show the effects of the recant wet weather. Out of 37 cars inspected to-day 37 were graded No. 2. Here , out of 204 oars of now wheat 127 were No. 9. Cables were again on the side of the boars. The English mar kets were weaker on some Improvement In their weather , according to the majority of dispatches , although December wheat ad vanced from 7'Jc ' to 70KC at ono time , on ad vices from New York that late pri vate cables received there. This was accentuated a little Inter by returns of twenty two boat loads having boon bought at Kew York for export , nnd by further in formation that of twenty-four loads of gram for which freight cngupamonts were made on Thursday lust , the bullc of which would bo used for wheat. In the same connection it was also said , but tbo saying wus not posi tively vouched for. that freight engagements were concluded for iho shipment of 800,000 bushels of now wheat by way of Baltimore. The sudden drop in July wheat at Duluth from U9e to 94c caused a momentary sensa tion near the close , but its effect as a bear ar gument was somewhat nullified , by an ad vance in the September delivery In tbo same market from S-c to S3c. Tlio corn market was very quiet to-day nnd , while there was not much decline , the early tone was rather weak. Receipts were not much different from what was ex.pect3d , the inspection being for 4U3 cars , of which 343 curs wns inspected contract. Specula tion was very dull , but there were the usual buyers of cash corn , and the demand Kept prices pretty steady. The warm , growing weather for crops was something of a bear feature , but only served to weaken without depressing- market ; to any great extent. Later , on a good cash demand , prices wont up some , and at the close sellers September corn wns about , 'c better than it closed last night , and sellers May about unchanged. Oats continued quiet and nearly steady , with occasional glimpses of activity , though in the mnln the regular market was dull , owing to the continued absence of outside trading orders or news of any consequence. There was some changing of July to August at KC difference in favor of July , or at 2viffc and i 2jjo respectively , wbilo deferred de liveries were quiet and tended to easiness. Hecomts continued fair , and withdrawals from store were smaller. No. 2 regular in car lots sold at 22 c. The provision trade was in a somewhat featureless condition. The opening was at prices generally under the level of yester day's closings , and during the session specu lation was too restricted to occasion anything moro then moderate fluctuations. The mar ket was in a slow state , with the outsiders giving It little or no attention and packers inclined to allow It to drift at will. Profes sional traders transacted the bulk of the limited trading witnessed. Short ribs closed for the day quotably unchanged , ivhilo lard showed n not decline of SX Sc and pork C@10c. For cash delivery a moderate amount of lard was sold nt fff.liy < @u.1' % of pork at (10.75 nnd of 10 Ib. sweet pickled hams at $ U.9X Sixteen-pound green hatns ranged ut $3.a7X@3.03 } .

Pork for the same month closed at $10.70 , lard at 3IU7& and short ribs at (5.50. August was quoted ut n discount from Sep tember of 7 } o for short ribs und pork aud lOo for lard.

It is pleasant to know , says the San Francisco Alta , that the Fourth of July had due honor paid it at points far remote - mete from tbo great cities. The papers coino in with accounts of salutes and processions , Goddesses of Liberty and An pels of Peace , stirring patriotic music and orations. Of all the orations wo think that tins from ono delivered by Mr. Hook , at Concord , takes the patriotic cake : The breath of freedom fills our val leys , is wafted to the monarch of nature Yosomito. Yosemite booms it to Shasta ; Shasta bows and reflects it to Columbia ; Columbia ripple and dances it to the pines ; the pines murmur it to the o to rn nl glaciers of Alaska. The glaciers with tears of joy , weep it to the Yukon ; tbo Yukon swells and surges it to the shores of Asia , down through the Indian ocean through the Rod Sea , to the classic shores of tbo Mediterranean , upon the breath of the lotus-laden Nile to the loving Stanley , back on the breath of the simoon to the Eternal City , Mont Blano catches its bong , Switzerland und Franco join in the grand chorus. On through the olive groves of Spain to the gates of Gibral tar it battles and thunders till all Europe wonders , while it flies over the Holds of England. Across the Irish Sea it sings n song of hope at the door of the over down-trodden son of Erin.

Thence by cannl to the Hudson at Al bany , turn from this point end in a ma jestic sail down the grand old Hudson to Now York , at Its mouth. In short , by water from Chicago to Now York , the on tire distance from Kingston , Canada , to Now York , to be traversed in the llt tlo twenty-foot yacht , the lolantho , which was to bo car-rind on board the nropollor Avoroll as far as Kingston. If the noisosomo and malaria-breed ing waters of Chicago "creek" were re pulsive , just in proportion was iho ngrocabla change of Luke Michigan's milled surface of azure hluo waters as the Avoroll plowed its surface outward bound , The far-reaching waters of this boundless heaving fresh water- sea stretched far away upon every hand , hero and there dotted by the white winged vessels , with an occasional cloud of propeller amoko floating far up into thin air , the noise and grime , the rum ble and roar , hot pavements and reek ing sewers were Inft far behind. A line moon-lit sea greeted us on the first night out , and together with the captain a most agreeable gentleman wo discussed and admired the scone in all its varied moods until the steward appeared and ushered us to the neatest and smallest of cabins , far up in the bow , and for all the world like a Pull man car on a small scale. There were two berths , an upper and lower , and both rosplendant with the whitest of linon. Early next morning found the steamer in Milwaukee , the city of lager beer , 'cream buildings and thick-waistod girls. It KO.S with dllllculty wo restrained from llirting witn the Gorman lassies who occasionally cast a languishing glance our direction. Toying with the all'oc- tions of a Milwaukee girl is quite a serious affair , punishable by a $ 3 line in fact. It was the afternoon of the second day out when the Manilou islands were sighted rising dim and blue from the waters surrounding. This proved to bo the Straits of Macki naw with their high wooded and pic turesque islands , showing a white and yellow clill' hero and there. The straits are about eight miles wide in the nar rowest portion , but the distances be tween land are made loss by the islands of which there is a multitude. The island of Mackinaw with its fine hotel is the largest. This summer resort is connected with St. Ignatius , a little railroad terminus opposite in Michigan , with a line Horry boat and the hotel is much frequented in summer by vacation tourists from the hob cities , north and south. Night was drooping her sable wings over the scene when Spectacle Reef lighthouse was sighted on the north shore of Lake Huron. This light was built on a dangerous reef on Lake Huron at an enormous expense by the United States governmot. Its founda tions are of solid block stone hold to gether by iron rods driven down into bod-rock. It is a Hash-light , showing now rod , now white , and it was a very pretty sight as the darknessgrow denser and its carmine and white began to Hash over Huron's troubled waters. The afternoon of the third day found the ' 'Avorell" cleaving the waters of the St. Cluir river opposite Port Huron , a busy little town at the foot of the lake of the sumo name. The St. Clair river which hero springs into existence is a magnificent stream some thirty-eight miles in length and together with the Detroit river and Lake St. Clair , con nects lakes Huron and Erie. The huge craft on which wo were passengers stpamcd into this deep thoroughfare with speed unchanged and directly was swinging down its broad bosom past many a quaint and natty farm house with neat grounds extending down to the water's edge , with natural docks for flotillas of gaily painted boats. Hero and there a sum mer cottage of moro pretentious and modern design stood sheltered by its groves of trees and surrounded by its faultless lawns , while manystoam yachts of no moan proportions swing easily at their moorings , giving one an idea of the luxurious lives of their owners. Go ing up the mast-head the tourist gains many a fine landscape view of small Canadian homesteads and thriving American farms , with their outlying buildings and Holds , and fat , sleek cat tle , making in all a beautiful pastoral scone as over delighted alovor of nature and an admirer of progress. Spine distance below Marino City , of Saline notoriety , the boat came out on the St. Clair Hats , and the sight of a steamer plowing through what scorned at that distance a pleasant country of trees , corn , wheat and rushes. Gradually the trees , corn , etc. , gave way to long fields of reeds , with occa sionally a Hush of water showing white among the green , and the lake of St. . Clair , with its famous ship canal was reached. This great work consists of two par allel walls , built in the lake , and is a mile and an eighth in length. It was designed to deepen the water at the mouth of the St. Clair rival , which had here previously given much trouble to lake commerce. The sum expended on this great feat of engineering must have been immense. The earth form ing its walls was dredged out of the lake and filled into heavy wooden crib bing and the whole surmounted by grass and willows nnd provided with a light house at cn.cn. end. The walls or banks tire about twenty feet wide , It requires sixteen minutes as ordainoy by the government to run through the canal , with a ponnlty of $1.000 for and Bnoed In excess of four miles an hour. Consequently the hearse oxhaustwhloh had kept up a continuous monotone since leaving Milwaukee , was silenced , and wq glided through with scarcely a ripple on the canal's calm surface. Darkness was once moro hovering over the horizon when the brilliant lights of Dotrojt were sighted far oil over the low shores of Lake St. Clair. The moon rose silvery and silent over the stilled waters of the lake , and mudo a golden path of glorious light , in which one might Imaglno sylphs , fnrlos nnd nymphs dinportintj thomsolvoi. The long , lazy ground-swell over nnd anon would throw up their fungos of phosphorescent water advancing and retreating llko gems of Incomparable bounty. The dim white painted stacks of the boat rising ghostly In the scant light. An ocean of silence around with nothing to break it save the low ca dences of some fnr away lowing cattle on shore and you have the picture to the eyes of the tourists who admlrod and discussed It , The electric lights of Detroit now shown out from a wall of black like diamonds mends sparkling and Hushing in a setting ting of onyx. . The speed boll was rung as wo glided past sombre warehouses , occasionally lit upon their exposed walls by the light towers high over hcadand wo glide to a wharf the lines were made fast and wo found ourselves In the most brilliantly lighted city in America , "tho city of the strait.1 WILL F.
