Tim average rise has beeiv about S'i polntf. On elKht HtoekH the nilvnnco has been be low . " points , and on sixteen stocks between 6 and 10 points. Considering the Breat ex citement in the market , and the nmmiltmlo of the transactions , the. rise thus far realized eanJinrdly be regarded as very ex traordinary. It Is certainly far from sultlc- IIIK to restore values to the normal level that existed befoie the treit de.-res-Hlon set In , anil very far from correM ondliiK to the Kreat restoration of agriculture , of In dustry and of commerce upon which the country has now entered. Tnls brief com parison sioivs that Krr-nt recuperation Is Jiow In process. The advances that have been realized , however , nmkc It the easier to re.lsi the rlsliiK tendency ; and hence pnrh fresh rise Is sharply contested by the "bears. " IJurhiK the last week they have lieon courageous sellers , but have had to pay for their temerity. It Is not unlikely that the "bulls" may have to do n Kood deal ot hard tln.itlnir to liold the first average rise of 10 points , but they are m.ide strong by the.lr past jiroilts , and the whole drift of outside conditions Is continuously contributing to their suc cess. They have also had to contend against a large Imlux of foreign stock. The supply from Ivondon has probably reached not less than J13.000.COO In cash value for the. last few \\eeks , and more may yet have to come ; lint these supplies have had little other ef fect than to Induce "short" sales , which only add strength to the market. It wou'd ' probably be a mistake to calcu late upon London forsaking Its selling pol icy , The Hank of England stands In an exposed position. it has been steadily losing geM nnd now holds only ' ) " ,0),0)0 ' against tlii.OOO.O * ) a year ago ; and yet It h.is to provide for early Important withdrawals to Austria and Hussla , to fay nothing of the possibility of It.s having to contribute to countries which are embarrassed by short crops and will have to Import unusual quan tities of cereals. Under these conditions the bank nnd those largely dependent upon , lt nro using their Influence to prevent spec ulators from buying our stocks und to In duce them to rcallzo nt the current high prices. This motive Is likely to continue operative for some considerable time to come , nnd we may therefore expect no par ticipation by London In the current up ward spoculntlon , At the moment our relations with Spain nre again beginning to attract some atten tion , There Is a very general Impression that the administration Is considering how It may do tomethlng for the Cubans , but exactly what that something may lie Is by no means clear , A stage , ho.vever. ban been readied at which some effort seems likely to bo forthcoming. The president Is now In possession of the facts ascertained liy General Lee , and It Is understood that General Woodford If charged with special proposals to be submitted to the Spanish government , while press dispatches huvo reported that he has already sounded the disposition of certain Kuropean powers to ward Spain It Is to bo assumed that Mr. McKlnley will act with prudence and en deavor to avoid offering provocations to ( Spain , but he treads upon delicate ground und It Is not Impossible that Impending ne gotiations with .Madrid may evo'.te some uneasiness on this side the Atlantic. This Is a contingency to which cautious finan ciers am paying some deference. KKEI > TUB HULLS MOVING. The course of operations during the past week has been Irregular. Although tlierc litivc been no noteworthy adverse devo'op- tnonts and the drift of external hopeful con ditions shows no abatement , yet the "bears" exhibit a great deal of energy nnd direct their attacks svllh much skill. The "bulls" find no dltllcnlty In successfully manipulat ing such specialties as they take In hand , but , pending those operations , the "bears" assault shares for the time being neglected , and so keep the market In n ferment not conducive to n general advance. This Is always u feature In a market of creat breadth llko the. present , and calls for cir cumspection In the selection of HtoekH In ( which to make transient Investment * . Trade movements show no abatement of their universally hopeful aspect. In the merchandise matkets , the Increased demand IH producing a steady advance In prices. The Iron trade continues to gain In activity , nnd the rise In values Is extending over the whole range of metallic ! products. The woolen factories are clearing off their paK nccumuliUloiiH of stocks and conservatively Increasing their output , The cotton goods trade , though In u stagi * of the season when orders contract , Is yet doing more than a oed average business for this period of the year. Cotton has been showing a fairly llrm tendency In spite of a prospective crop of 9,000,000 bales. In brief , In all the large branches ( if-tradu there Is the game story of conservative activity. Increasing demand ftnd an upward tendency In prices , while railroad earnings continue to show largo In creases. There Is no dltllcnlty In divining the effect these movements must have upon securities. liiiiiiloii Money Alnrlift , LONDON , Sept , 6. Interest In the money market during the last week has been fo cused on India on account of the action of the India council In .suspending the sale of bills of exchange and offering to buy IMIU. It Is postflble that India will ask for u gold loan and that exports of gold to that country will follow , nnd gold may be used nt the rate of la 4d per rupee to ob'aln sll- 'Ver ' currency In India , U la concede ! that this would be u tUei > toward the establish ment of u gold standard. The uncertainty existing regarding the amount of exports to the United Btates and Japan rendered the market sensitive. Three months' bank bills jtvvro steady nt 115-lCii2 per cent , call loans nt 1 per cent and notice loans at 1'i per cent. The supply of money Is ample. The ellvur market was unscltlrd during the week. Har sliver fell to 23id per ounce , but later rallied to 2l&d. The only stocks showing activity were American railways. The buying was prln- clpally for Now- York account. 1'rlces gen erally advanced. The public Is Htlll disin clined to rebuy what It uold during the period of depreuHlon , but there Is much spec. Ulutlon. The amount of the securities held is unusually small , making the market here dependent upon New York.

Sept. 5 , At the end of the current wr k transactions on the Stock ex change have averaged larger aggregates per day than during any week since the Mock j market began to broaden and grow better. ' Of more consequence than anything else In ! this development Is the fact that the bulk ! of business I ? conducted by commission I houses which have relations with the out- I side public rather than by the professional speculative traders of the street. i The head of one Important house tells me i that during the last three days of this week hl.t morning mall has averaged orders to buy stocks for outsiders beyond W 00) shares per dny. This Indicates what I ? going on all over Wall street not only , but amply testifies that there Is In the public mind finally a i well grown belief that prosperity really Is with us. Of greater Importance than any thing else happening this week Is the agree ment among St.- Paul directors , an official agreement by the company's executive com. inlttcc , to make an extra cash dividend , This makes fi per cent for the year , for the last six months of the year It makes 3 per cent. ; Krlemta oC the property sny It puts St. , Paul on a C per cent bapls , for It Is under stood that half years hereafter will be 3 per cent , till the time comes ( as enthusiasts arc predicting it Is bound to come ) for still j a higher rate. 1 It has been over and over again pointed 1 out In these dispatches that the safest guide ' 'for speculators nnd Investors In the Wall street market hns been the record ot rail way earnings. The continual Increase In , yields from trafllc have been of far more value In making und directing safe Juils- I ments than all the glowing rhetoric that the , , "new era" talkers have been able to give ! us , and they Irivc given via a vast deal. \ And still the safe criterion Is the showing of the rallroada In their earnings reports , I uhcre ilgures week by week and month by month mount higher nnd higher. Wo are only at the beginning of the magnificent showings which the railroads ot the country are preparing to ex'ilblt. ' During the com ing week some Indications of how great are . the strides made by conspicuous corporations I will be added to tonic examples made public i this week. A couple of days ago we had I the St. Paul showing and the Rock Island showing , and the Heading showing for re cent period ? , anil In each Instance the result was magnificently surprising. T.io Missouri Pacific adds phenomenal figures. Progress has run far beyond what tnc moat nopeiui anticipated. SHOWING OP NEW YOUK CKNTHAL. More Important than most others due next week will bt > the statement of the New York Central for the month of August. The record there will be as Inspiring ns any that has anywhere appeared. Considering the fact that the New York Central 'Is an east ern property the showing will be dazzling. We have been making imuh of the fact that all of the we-tern railroad properties prosper because of the exceptional agri cultural situation and the tremendous rush of crops to market. The New York Central In a different territory shows the splendidly encouraging fact that not all of the gain's this year are to be confined to one section- testifies that the whole country Is sharing In the betterment , that railroad gains re flect general , not special condition ? . I have olllclal authority for the statement that the New York Central earnings for Anust will go beyond gains of $100,000 per week. Such a showing Is simply marvelous. There was n gain for one month of over $100,000. The New York Central will soon ba making an Increased dividend , as the St. Paul has officially determined to di. The Itock Island company Is certain to join In this enthusiasm-making procession. In the Hock I-'land case the casting vote Is with Chicago. If President Cable is In favor of doubling the Itock Island dividend this fall the dividend will be doubled. If President Cable , choosing otherwise the ultra conservative course , shall choose not 16 make an Increase In the dividend thin fall , but to wall till next spring for perhaps n bigger distribution. President Cable's views will still dominate. Oie : thing certain Is that the Hock Island company Is soon to go upon a larger iiiviuemi URFIS , ap current earnings warrant It. Eaytern directors would be ( as 1 happen to know personally ) Flud to have Mr. Cable advise the Increase. CAHLE'S PHUDKNT FORESIGHT. When panic times were just beginning , when optimists on every side were pro claiming that there was no dark spot in the situation , to be prudent as Mr. Cable was prudent provoked In every spemlatlve quar ter animated aspersions. Cable was wicked ; Cable was a speculator ! Cable cared not for his stockholders ; all that Cable cured for wna Cable's own Interest ; Cable must fio. But epithets were not able to swerve the man of Illinois and Hock Island kept on re trenching. It put into operation not merely economies In construction ; expenditures In Its salary list were cut down , and the cut ting down there was not alone ; the stock holders of the company were brought face to face with the fact that retrenchment , properly retrenching , meant careful pruning on every account , and dividends went down just as other current liabilities wont down. Later came , and came quickly , came with terrltlc force , vindication of the policy of H. H. Cnblp. Security market evolutions have In more than one Instance testified to t.ie wisdom of the administrative policy , which In advance recognizing the certainty of trouble , was equipped to meet and withstand that trouble. In those days Missouri Pacific was selling I above Hock Island upon the New York ' Stock exchange. So was. Atchlson. In those i days when Cable was cutting Hock Island's 1 dividend down A. A. McLeod was udvunc- | Ing dividends for Heading. No man , even casually Informed of what since has developed - , oped and demoralized Wall street , can fall 1 to see the hard sense that ruled In Hock , Island. Nothing strange at all Is In the fact that now the Hock Island sees Its way to resuming old and higher dividend rates. In the Hock Island example and In the St. Paul example are evidences ot the safety In new security market buoyancy. These ex amples represent conservatism not as a theory , but conservatism applied. PHOPEKTIES WELL KEPT UP. More consequence than any theories touchIng - Ing what the Immediate future of stock market - ; ket ( 'notations may be lies In the fact that i during thd hard times Ftrotchlng forward i ever since the Daring collapse shook the whole financial world a half dozen years ago properties administered us are the St. Paul and Hock Island have been continually up building. Instead of bending every effort to make n showing In Wall street , it has been the wisdom of Hoswell Miller and U. H , Cable to make better the physical and financial condition of the pro.iert es nt who o In ads they stand as real , not hesitating , directors. And the Hock Island system and the St. Paul system are today ( no higher compliment can be paid ) worthy to rank with the foremost property In the world the Chleago & Northwestern. Whatever vise may have been proved In the terrific tests of recent years , one fact superior to every doubt Is established , and that fact Is that the western railroad man ager ( typified by Miller and Cable , ranking with Marvin Hnghltt ) Is revealed as power ful und dominating on the hide of conserva tism which \\IIIH. In the Wall street security markets what IH now plainest Is that the. public In the market has probably doubled Its investment linen during the last sixty days. The public could afford to buy. Not that the public has suddenly grown rich , but for a half dozen years the public has been selling Itu holdIngs - Ings , not adding to Its corporate Interests , llenssurance makes buyers of hosts who re. cently have been most devoted to trying to protect what they owned. Alonsr with the public In the market there has been coinci dent buying in an aggressive way by the foremost financial Interests of the country. The leaders of thu A'anderbllt family have been among such buyers , und they are still buying. Without exception every magnate In the Standard Oil group has been keeping btokers busy. So elsewhere It has been through the roster of the rich men of the country , Hard times talk played out , con fidence In new conditions and butter ones In duced epthuslasm , as rellecteil. In every se curity mat ket throughout' land. It Is not only thu list on the New York Stock exchange that has gained In market values ; theie has been growth In every stock and bond of well managed corporations In every part of 'he country , though naturally thu great gains are und must continue to be. In securities which have the readier market Wall street gives. CAVTIOUS INVESTORS COVER. In view of thu fact that un extra holiday Irtervenes before business begins a * ain on the Stock exchange many securities were sold out today by people animated by pru dent motives , Indisposed to run the risk of liny bid news Intruding over Uibor dny Some additional phyncss Is felt over the fear that sensation makers anxious to bull grain may discover or Invent n frost out west within the next day or two. If the market continues In natural upward wwlns next week will see activity In all of the standard i locks. New York Cen'ral , Northwestern and Western Union may llg- ure us leaders in further Improvement. The coal stocks and stocks related to the Iron tradtt are also scheduled for advance ! ) U the general market holds. Prominent und Influential commission houses are practically unanimous in Issuing letters tonight counseling clients that the market is safu and can be further bought profitably. H.

The let-up In re ceipts was a good thing as It gave dealers n chance to clean up the odds nnd ends of a big week's supply. There was nothing new In the market for beef cattle and the few here were POOH picked up at fully steady prices. While well finished beeves from the feed lot are so scarce that but little change Is quotable , the general market Is lower by lOfiloc than last week's close a.i a result ot big receipts. The demand has been good all of the time , however , and the pens have been well emptied dally. The purchase ot grassers by the killers has enlarged considerably this week and It is probable that a still further Increase In this direction will ob tain as the season advances and the cattle Improve In flesh. Liberal receipts are looked for by dealers generally for the coming week , but with no Increase In the number of fed cattle. All told , there were not two loads of cow stuff In the yards and therefore compari sons would be of little worth , but , after the largest supply of she stock of the year , the market shows a general decline of lOif 13c for cows , heifers and rough stock , with veals selling about as well ns ever. As there was practically no freh stocker or feeding cattle and speculators did not have many the market was necessarily quiet. What business was done , however , showed no further deHlnp. Icnvlno tie market 15023c lower than n week ago , after the largest supply and output cf the year.

CHICAGO , Sepl. 4. Whbat recovered Ox- actly half of yesterday's l j'c decline today. The tone of the foreign market * , which caused the decline yesterday , was also responsible In n great degree for today's advance. Corn nnd oats followed wheat and advanced ' .MJUc each. Provisions , how- evct' , were heavy nnd wound up the dny with slight declines. Trading In wheat was narrow , with prices confined to.a narrow range. The tnatket started strong nt 9llj9IUc for December , un advance of l',4 < 01-'lsC over yesterday's closing price. Liverpool showed substantially no change , notwithstanding a laio decline here yesterday. New York reported n large bus iness done for export the day before , the quantity being placed as high as 020,000 bu. , 410,000 bu. of It from New Yqrk direct and 201,000 bu. from otitports. The week's clear ances of wheat and flour from both coasts as rex > rtcd by Uradstreet's were P,2i > S,247 bu. These were the most prominent features of the early news , and were presumably the reasons for the strong opening. There was cnouph realizing- the opening advance to send the price down to P.'t-ic , when n grad ual recovery took place , the market reachIng - Ing ! )3',4c ) by 11:30 : o'clock. The Missouri state crop report was a bullish statement , giving the yield nt 9.-IOO.OOO bu. , cdniparert with 12.- 710,000 bu. the year btfore. The news from the northwest was also suggestive of nn even poorer crop of spring wheat than has hitherto been believed In , especially ns re gards the quality of the new wheat. The American consul at Odessa Is reported ns stating the Uusslnti yield of wheat In some places to bo only four bushels to the acre. The World's .shipments of wheat and Hour to Europe this. we k are estimated by JUcer- bohm's nt 6,000,000 bu. Chicago receipts were 315 cars , only twenty-nine of them contract and twenty-two of these No. 2 spring. .Minneapolis and Duluth received only 4SO cars , against 1,117 the correspond ing day of ISOi ) . The continental markets did not show much change. Paris tepnrted a decline of 15 centimes and Antwerp an advance of 12H 'centimes. ' Clearances t idny \vero reported at , 001,000 bu. The local ship ping demand wus at a standstill , which fact somewhat mllltjated against the bulls. December was telling nt ! > . " . % < - ' nt the close. Corn was slo\V but steady , helped by the hot. dry weather mid by the fact that Ar gentine corn shipments were nothing , whereas last yj-ar J,821,000 bushels were shipped. There wasisomc apprehension over expected enormous receipts by Tuesday and n disposition to 3'cven up" Monday's holiday wns shown , which resulted In a partial loss of the opcnlng''idvance. Cables were un changed. Seaboard clearances were 500,000 bushels. Local receipts were posted at 1,015 cars. December opened 'Mt c higher at 32ffs'iiS2 c , sold between 32ic ; and 328c anil closed at S yn c. Oats was quiet , , and practlcajly featureless , the market attracting even less attention than usual. The feeling was , steady In sympathy with corn and prices were slightly higher throughout. 'Country offer ings were light , but shipping demand poor. IU-celpts were 414 cars. December sold be tween 20V4ffWsc : , closing at the latter figure , an advance of VilSUc. Provisions were dull and n shade lower. The opening was steady with corn. Packers sold sparingly , but light ns the offerings were they were greater than the demand and a slight decline resulted. At the close .December pork was So tower at { S92V4. December lard about Sic lower at $1 S2V. and December ribs nominally Be lower at $ j.05. estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat , 430 cars ; corn , 2,100 cars ; oats , 425 cars ; hogs , 33.000 head.
