The industrials have not yet fallen to a minor place In the speculation , at ; they are apt to do at a time when a widespread general demand sprungii up for standard railroad securities , but there were evidences of a culmination of specuhittls'e movements in seine of them toda and the realizing was covorell by manipulative ad. Vunces in others. Brooklyn Transit aitti Rubber were the most conplettoIis stiffer- ers from liqttidation and wl.lle Tobacco slid Cotton Oil continued to advance , by far the most significant moement in the mar- hot was the enlarged demand for railroad toclcs. This was most conspicuous in tilt ) gratigers , but the l'neiltc railroad 111.0 shared iii the movement and there was a distincilybroatlening tendency all through tile list. 'l'lie granger movement turnea on OraCle POSsibilities anti was accompanied by Intimations that some of the group will shuw tin increase in earnIngs for July in spite of the large falling ott in time graIn movement as compared wIth last year. Much Importance was given to the report received by the State department. from the United States consul at Moscow that Ittis- ida is considering a proposition to forbid the exportatIon of grain owing to the fall- nrc of the crops to make good the last year's large depletion iii reserves.

It was the largest ron for a Tuestlay Ia over a month , CAT''LE-Today's cattle receipts of 157 loads looked large as compared with time 1 tmis of the last few wceks. Not since the last week in June have thieve been as many cattle in the yards as there. svcrc today. It is tIme seaaon , however , when larger re- celpts of cattle are. to be expected , na the western cattle ate commencing to move forward from the ranges and grass cattle lu.e rapidly takIng the Place of corntcd beeves. Today's market as a whole was in very ratlsfactory conditIon as regards the selling - ing interests , and was without tiiy very marked changes. There ivuro a few right good loads of dry lot cattle , which sold at fully steady prices , that is mit $5.OO5.35 for the best. The market ytts netii'e on that kind amid the offerings nil changed hands early in the morning , the top Price Paid being only Sc lois'er than the top jmnice reported in the early messages from Chicago. Some medium kinds of cattle sold right around $4.85.Vhilo the market was active and nIl right on the good kinds , it was slow and unsatIsfactory on this half-fat and slippery stuff. As has been time case for some days back , buyers discriminate against the half- fat cattle and tIme market Is weak and dull every day on that kind. There were more good dry lot helfers here today than for some time past and they eold at $4.605i4.80 , which was fully steady. In fact the general market on both cows alud helfers was without cliano amid the offerings for tIle most part sold early in the morning. TIme rains throughmotmt the state have aroused a large speculative interest iii feeders anti stock cattle. Yesterday the itimectilators bought freely , and as they shipped otlt thirteen loads into the country yesterday , there were not many stale cattle left in the feeder division this morning. The fact that locally the weather was clank and rainy , with reports that there had been a still furthmer rainfall out in tile state during the night seemed to add to the SIeclIlatlVO demand , with the result that speculators were all hungry for supplies this morning. The market in consequence Wait active and stronger , desirable lots of Stock cattle changing hands very readily at prices most gratifying to the sellers. There was quite a string of western range cattle on the market , a good many of them fat enough for the killers , The market on tat grass cattle was Just about steady , but such as the feeders ivanted sold at strong vrlces. liopresentative sales : BEEF STEERS.

Foil 1EAIERS OP THE SUNDAY BEE Jfl [ I-os' PROVINCS. [ By Louis Tracy , .diit/iot' / Of' ' 11ii ilunericai , Enpci'or , " " 'f'he Finai JVtur , " dc. Bcglunlng August 7 and ContlnuIn Ten Weeks. Mr. Tracy is welt known as a brilliant young writer , who hmns achieved the dltflcult task of blazing - ing out a now and untrodden path In the well explored domain of story writing. Instead of historical fiction , he has devoted himself to fictitious history anti his success in this original hue has made him one of the most popular attthors of the day , both in America and in Eng- land. In its broad lines , "The Lost Provinces" resembles Mr. Tracy's earlier story , "An American Em- peror. " Vansittart , the American million. aire , who does the most remarkable things in a thoroughly matter-of- fact way , is the principal figure in this story. Some of the other characters - acters have likewise been made familiar by "An American Eat- peror , " but the scene of action and the course of the story are entirely - tirely different anti the tale is even more skillfully told. As the tale suggests , the story deals with the struggle between France and Germany over the lost provinces of the former. In dire straits , France appeals to the wealthy Anmerican who oimce before proved her salvation. lie imme- dlately responds and sets out across the Atlantic on his private yacht. An attempt is made by the Germans to capture hIm , but lie escapes through the intervention of an English man-of-war and arrives - rives safely in Paris , where he is welcomed as time one hope of the despairing nation. Vansittart becomes - comes comniander-in-chuief of the army , and the military operations , through which ho brings the war to a successful issue , occupy the chief part of time story. Time story is made lively and in. leresting by the adventures mind mishaps of Folhlett , the Paris do. tcctivc ; by "Arizona Jim , " a west- era cowboy , who accompanies Van- sittart in the capacity of body. guard ; by the eccentric French in. vector , Armarmd Duprez ; by German spies and French soldiers anti honnea. The treaty of peace , finally contracted by Vjiumshttart and thm3 German emperor , Is unique anti highly democratic in its terms. The author baa made the most of a large amount of Interesting material iii this new story , and the few persons who have seen it pro. pounce it time best worlc that. Mr , Tracy has mione thus far , There is a charming variety and pictur. esquenoas in the characters prc- seated and the story rt.ovcs on Its way with . it sprightliness of action which makes it especially suited to use as a newspaper serial , THE SUNDAY BEE READ EVERY CHAPTER. 1
