Although the train of the wool market Is
quieter the volume of business holds up
well , the transactions of the last week ag
gregating over 6,000,000 , Ibs. This volume of
trade has been accomplished without any
si > edal effort being made on the part of the
holders of wool to push trade or to make
any concessions in trade. A larger busi
ness could have been done If the trade had
been willing to concede slightly , but hold
ers of wool were very firm and built great
hopes on the dry goods market , The ex
citement In the country Is over , The
wools have passed from farmers' hands and
the trade Is busily occupied In receiving nnd
shipping wools which have been sold during
the last few weekw The sales of the week
In Beaten amounted to 6.896.0X ) Ibs. domestic

Knrly Period of Strength Which ( invc
Wny Ilefore Clone of liny.
'EW YORK , Aug. 2.-Todfiy's slock
market , like that of yesterday , had a period
of strength In the morning , which gave
way .before the day was over. The de
pression was due to the continued prospect
ot hard money. The early strength had
Us Inception In the disposition of London
to buy American stocks , notwithstanding
the marking up of the money rate there.
The demand from London was especially
marked for Atchlson preferred , Louisville
& Nashville nnd Northern Paclllc , London
sold Anaconda Copper. There pas a smart
upward movement In some of the special
ties , Early In the day Sugar went up 2V4.
Reports of the extraordinary earnings In
the Iron and steel Industry gave a llrm tone
to that group of stocks nnd Tennessee Coal
hail the additional benefit of a reixjrt that
valuable property was about to be acquired
nnd that claims of preferred stockholders
were In process of adjustment. The stook
In consequence rose 3H. The trunk lines
wore favorably affected by the going Into
effect of the higher .fre-lght .rates on grain
to the seaboard. The tobacco stocks , the
local traction shares. General Electric , Cot
ton Oil , Peoplc-'fl Gas nnd a few others
gained from Individual causes. The gen
eral appearance of strength thus Imparted
to the market prompted some covering l y
the shorts who sold yesterday , thus helping
In the advance ,
The 'higher ' prices .brought out realizing
piles and there was a sharp break In Sugar
nnd Brooklyn Transit , the latter dropping
2V4 from the best. Lackawanna suddenly

was caused by the advance ot discount
rates In lyondon to a point above the Bank
of England's minimum rate.
The fall In consols was evidence that the
Bank of England was again borrowing
from the market to repel the demand for
gold made probably by the recent down
ward course of sterling exchange In New
York. There was not enough doing In sterling , -

fluence of this move , l5Ut the sterling ex
change rate at Berlin , whence London con

CATTLE Total arrivals today were con
siderably smaller than yesterday , as will be
noted from the table ot average prices at
head of column , and the offerings of beef
steers were far from largo. The market
was In a good healthy condition and could
best be described as a good steady and ac
tive market. Buyers were reporting their
cattle as strong as compared with yester
day's purchases. Practically everything
changed hands at an early hour In the
morning. The average quality o the cat
tle was only fair , but there were a few
'loads ' good enough to bring $3.5583.60. A con
siderable proportion of nil the steers were
of the kind that are selling at $3.25(35.40. (
There were no western grass1 beef steers
here , at least none of any Importance. A
bunch of Texas sold at $4 today. The same
outfit brought $4.03 yesterday , but they
were 125 pounds lighter today. On Monday
they sold at $4.10.
Cows and heifers were In light supply
today and good demand. The offerings
were all sold In good season at linn prices.
Some few corn-fed ) cows and heifers sold
lut $4.2j and some heifers at $4.40 , but the
most of theofferings - consisted of grass
westerns The Bartlett Richards cows ,
which sold ast week at $3.63. brought $3.83
today , but thoss here today were very good
and a little be'ter than last week's ship
ment , Bulls were rather scarce and the
market steady. Veal , calves are not quite
so strong a sthoy wore , g-ood ones going at
$6.25.
Stockers and feeders were In good de
mand at nrm prices , and the offerings for
the most part changed hands readily , the
market being active at prevailing prices.
In addition to scattering bunches of na
tives there was quite a sprinkling of west
ern stuff In first hands , but no great num
ber. Representative sales :

HOGS The yellow fever scare , whloh
knocked the bottom from out the provision
market seems to have about worked Itself
out unices the beurs can trump up some
new or additional feature to produce a sen-
ration. The result was that there was a
decidedly more healthy tone to the trade
today and the market opened 6Q10c higher
ithan yesterday's general market. The hogs
sold very largely at $1.230 4.Z7V4 , as against
$4.1714IS4.20 ycHterday , There was also quite
a sprinkling of the better light and butcher
weight loads at $4.30. Yesterday $1,25 wvu
the top. The movement was fairly active
and the mout of the hogs changed hands in
good season at the prices noted above.
Today's1 advance still leaves the market
a big tic lower than It was on Monday , but
taken It back about where it was on
Wednesday of last week. Receipts today
were very lletit , sind it looks as If the
country was as bullish as ever and de
termined not to ship durng the breaks.
It ( u u noticeable fact tnat there Is now
a wide range in the quality of the hog *
coming forward , as a good many loads show
a considerable proportion of rough and old
sows. Still the range In prices la very
narrow. Representative Kales ;
