CHICAGO , . July 27. [ 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. On tha street there is less money
booking Investment at lowrates , and 4 per
cent In the Inside llcllro. Time loans uro
made at fl@8 p'or cent. ' 1'ho feeling In east *
orn murkutA Is firm , and an the prospects for
cheap money are not at all Mattering , rates
nro well maintained. Uull loans on stock and
bond collaterals are mudo on n basis
of 2X@W Iol ° cent. Hcports cotno from

was. to lid lor and rates ranged
nt 40 cents discount to par ,
nnd .closed at par. Foreign exchange
was easier and rates n slmdo lower. A fnlr

offered. Itutcs rangcd.'at f4.84@l.S4 .
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.
Clovolaud , Columbus , Cincinnati & St. Louis
consolidated wus bought fr.'ely , and
prices advanced over live points. Hocking
vallov , after a sharp decline , hi'camo ilrnicr
nnd regained about all the , loss Thu close
shows fair gains on most of thu list over the
prices current n week ngo. Honda were
slow , hut all choice issues were held flrmly.

The Realty Outlook Promising
Builtlliic nnd Ct'iiurniiQo Notrs.
Tbo real estate trado' has experienced ,
during the past wcoW.ilts.flrsl period of dull
ness during-tho present year , The transfers
for the wcelr have bcon light and almost en
tirely conflnod to small transactions in out
sit ) u property. The only deal worthy of
special mention waVtho salo'by J. W. Smith
to Molllo MoHrulo df all oHilock 4 and four
teen lots in blgcic ; ) l'crVpoJ's ; ( \ plaix ) , the
consideration being $73,500. , . .
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. "

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 } . Speculative inter
est was again confined to September , which
sold at $10.05@10.80 for pork$0.17 @ 0.20
for lard and * . " > .47 @ 3.52 } for short ribs.
Pork for the same month closed at $10.70 ,
lard at 3IU7& and short ribs at (5.50.

The RatIo ScroaiiM'in California.
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. There
the thumb and linger of American
science turns the screw that sends it
tiokl tlokl beneath the Atlantic's roar
fathoms doopl Behold it sits spark
ling upon the finger tips of ' 'Liberty
Enlightening the World ! " which
throws it to the far off Sierras , t The
Sierras glance it to Diablo ; Diablo
shimmers it to Hamilton ; Hamilton
eights it to the stara ; the stars in the
Eternal Space sing it to the nngols :
"American liberty atill lives , und shall
for all timol"

prised traversing lakes Michigan ,
Huron , the St. Gtiur rlvor and lake of
the same 1111.1110 , Detroit rlvop , Luke
Krio , the Wollntul canal , Livko Ontario
to the Thousand islands , and by the St.
Lawrence down past Montreal to the
llttlo Canadian villnifo of Soul at the
mouth of the Hlcholiou river , up the
wator-courso to Lake Champlntn , down
Clmmplain to Whitehall , taking In Fort
"Ti" and Luke George by the way.
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 ,
