nUAnSTHEHT'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Improvement In Tone and Deninnd
l .Voted.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Bradstrect's to
morrow will say:
An improvement alike In tone and In de
mnnd wur noted ,n trado circles this week
and fall trade may bo said to have opened
actively. While the most optimistic reports
como from the northwest, several largo
markets in tho corn belt send more cheer
ful reports, bnsd partially upon a still
turtner improvement in crop conditions,
but Ilkowlse the result of tho growth of a
feeling thnt while the viulds of most crops
will be smaller than last year, tho prices
paid for tho same will bo higher and the
purchasing power of tho t.grlcultural com
munity as a whole will bo llttio Impaired.
Advances In wheat, corn, oats nnd hog
products support this view,
Weather nnd crop conditions In the north
west combine to give that section specially
generous yields and to stimulate jobbing
demand In neirly all Hues. Good rrojis In
the Pacific northwest are also reported and
the outlook for fall trade In that section l
a cheerful one, the only llaw at nresont be
ing t!ip strike confronting the shipping in
terests nt San Francisco. Fresh vegetables
ami fruits and country produce are searco
aud high hi price and canned goods 'also ,
tend higher. Southern trnde advices are
marred by dnmnge attllcten hy the severe
storm of Wodnosdnv nnd Thursday, which
appears to have hurt the Louisiana rtco
crop severely, but It Is not thought to have
hurt sugar ot cotton very much. Timely
rains hnvo Improved cotton In the Missis
sippi valley and advices from the south
Atlantic states are of n heavy yield.
In textiles It Is to be noted that the talk
of a strike, with the necessary curtailed
production, has not strengthened print
elpths, which are 3-160 lower on tho week.
U oolen goods nppenr to be better situated
than thoso of cottin and In rnw products
the low and linn grades of wool arc firm,
with some tending upward, while raw cot
ton Is without change. The Iron and steel
strike shows little change, but an Interest
ing fact is that despite the lowered con
sumption growing out of the strike, stocks
of pig lion nrc smaller than they were a
month ago on a comparatively trilling de
crease In production. Chicago Iron Inter
ests are getting much business diverted
from eastern markets by the strike. Fin
ished products affected by tho strike are
very high nnd the position of canned goods
manufacturers, demand from whom Is ac
tive. Is rendered uncomfortable by the
scnrclty of Mriplates, Sheets and bars nre
likewise firm. In other lines, notably struc
tural materials, a large business Is going
forward and a heavy demand for light
bordware Is reported through the country.
The boot nnd shoo manufacturers have
booked good orders. Leather Is active nnd
hides art tlrm. Tho strength of -white plno,
supported as It hns been by small stocks
cit leaning markets, H notable. Considera
ble advances have been made nt eastern
points.
Wheat, Including flour, exports for tho
week In tho United States aggregate 9.039.
.61 bushels, as against S,832,lt"9 Inst week
and 3,113,641 In the week last year. Wheat
exports, July 1 to date, nggrcgatu 44,072,332
bushels, ns ugalnst 19,914,996 last year. Corn
?Aorts. "KKregatu 608,807 bushels, ns ngalnst
990.714 last week and 3,017,0.9 last year.
July 1 to date exports are 9,227,168 busheb,
against 23,676,349 last season.
Business failures in tho United Stntcs
number 178, ns against 185 Inst week, 16S In
this wetk n year ago, 172 In 1859, 195 ln189S
and 221 in 1897. For Canada failures for tho
week number twenty-five, ns against
twcnly-nlno last week, twenty-four In this
week a year ago and twenty In 1S99.
NEW YOIHC STOCKS AMI) BONDS.
Setback In Prices One to Proflt
TnkhiK Snlf'N.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16,-The setback In
prices which occurred today while Influ
enced In a moasutc by the less fnvornble
aspect to the strike situation was primar
ily due to. profit-taking sales on the week's
rise. Improvements have been mude In
prices from dav to dav und the. resultant
sharp anlns showed some striking profits
on tho long account up to Inst night, Bear
belling had not been effective In checking
tho Improvement und It required only the
announcement that the Jollet steel workers
had reconsidered their decision not to go
out ns a pretext to sell the market. Nntu
rally enough the western and I'uclllc stocks,
which hail made the largest gains recently,
had to tako the brunt of the selling. But
llttio rallying power was displayed by
these stocks at any time during tho day,
temporary gains being immediately can
celed by renewed snles for both accounts.
Their losses at the low point average a
llttio more than 1 per cent, St. Paul figur
ing for the extreme dccllno of 1&4.
VA hllo the western division was generally
under pressure, thero was heavy buying
at times of tho bituminous and anthracite
coal stocks, causing an improvement In
Norfolk ,t Western of l?! nnd Wheeling &
Lako ICrlu Issues of iQJ. Southwestern
railroad stocks wore less prominent than
heretofore nnd tho announcement of tho
acquisition by the Wabash of the Omaha &
St. Louis railroad fulled to strengthen tho
Wnbush lsucs Thero were heavy pur
chases of Amalgamated copper late In tho
day nnd the stock rose 214 on reports that
a combination In which tho company fig
ured had secured control of tho copper pro
ductton of the country. Its top figure was
not maintained, tho price running oft a
point near the close.
Sugar underwent mnnv wide changes dur
ing tho day und after at one tlmo selling at
a point above yesterday's closo ended a
point lower. Thero was no news to account
tor tho conspicuous strength of People's
Gas, which Improved 214 In face of tho
heaviness elsewhere. Reports that tho
United States Steel corporation hud se
cured control of tho Republic Iron and
Steel company caused more dealing In the
steel stocks and they landed a point higher.
Ono block of 6,600 hhares common came out
at 43?4, but when It got down to 4314, which
Indicated u loss over night, the stock wao
supported and did' not yield below that
price, although it failed to recover to any
extent when there were occaslonnl rallies
elsewhere. The final prices were tho lowest
and the preferred closed only 1, above.
The preliminary, figures of the weekly
bank statement indicate a gain by tho
banks of $717,118. This represents only tho
result of the Interior movement, as the
banks huve lost pretty steadily to tho sti
treasury throughout, despite heavy gov
ernment expenditures of the week. A sharp
decline occurred In the sterling exchange
market, domund bills falling to Jl.87ys on the.
large offerings of bills. Thero was no de
mand to speak of and drawers reduced
prices pretty steadily during the day. The
stock mnrket was very dull In the closing
dealings nnd ended weak.
Rallrgad bonds were dull and generally
easier. Total sales, par value. Jl,145,Ono.
United States bonds were all unchanged on
the last call.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram: The tone of the stock
market was good today, tho favorable
factors being cheap money and encourag
ing news regarding the Boers. Americans
began very cheortul, Erie, Southern Pa
cific, Union Pacific nnd Atchlsons being
tho favorites. There was a slight setback
here Just before tho New York opening,
w-hlch wns attributed to the news that
three more lodges of the Amalgamated as
sociation had finally struck In accordance
with the strike orders, but It 'was appar
ently tho natural market's ebb and How.
New York did little to help things along,
but London was Inclined to buy on tho re
action and the close was strong, especially
for Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk & West
ern and New York, Ontario & Western.
Tho copper stocks were strong on the fort
nightly statistics. Stocks have been re
duced 563 tons and supplies 1,215 tons. Tho

I.ntest In Strike Situation Increases
In vestment In Steel Stocks.
NKW YORK, Aug. IS. Dradstrcet's
Financial Rovlew will say:
While the mnrket Is Innctlve nnd transac
tions are mainly of n professional charac
ter there has been during tho Inst week a
decided change In speculative sentiment.
The fact that the steel strike Is much less
dangerous than was at first antlclpnted
nnd seems likely to collapse altogether has
had a considerable effect upon the minds of
the stock market operatora and hns also
encouraged renewed Investment buying of
tho United Stntcs Steel stocks.
At the same time the effects of the dnm
nge to the corn crop have been minimized
and the "street" Is less disposed than It
was a fortnight ngo to accept tho theory
that corn in the western states Is n total
loss, or that railroad corporations serving
tlie corn-growing sections of tho country
will show' any material decline In earnings
during the ensuing twelve months. The
money mnrket also contin'ies to bo easy
and there is no scnrclty of funds for spec
ulative use, while a drop In this exchange
market brings forcibly before the eyes of
the stock market public the fact that the
United States Is now enjoying a record
breaking export trade In cereals.
Railroad earnings also continue to be re
markably good, large Increnses being
shown In most enses ovor an extremely
lnvorable return of the corresponding
period a year ago. Under these circum
stances It Is not surprising that the stock
market hns developed considerable strength
nnd thnt prices have advanced In place of a
decided absence of nny largo speculative
demand for securities.
