NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Tho dominant speculation was In tho Pacifies and south westerns, Union Pacific lending th? rail road list In point of strength nnd nc'.lvlty, with an extreme rise of 2Tfc points. The so called Gould stocks were nil active and strong, Including tho Denver & Rio Qrnndo stocks and the Colorado & Southern stocks, tho latter apparently on a supposition that developments aro Impending looking to m absorption Into tho Gould system. Tho gram carrying roaus ns a wnoie wero ar fected by the decided weakness In tho corn market, Indicating the recuperation In the corn crop. Tho continued heavy foreign demand for wheat, coupled with tha re ported good condition of that crop, was also an clement. Amalgamated Conner was In very large demand, notwithstanding tho oninis o. reports mat turincr absorption f copper Interests was Intended. The ex treme rise In AmalKamnted Cnnnir w.is 2 points. The minor steel stocks were strong, Tennessee Coal rising 34 paints. The United States Steel stocks were opened fraction higher nnd were held n m it Immovablo nil day, the extreme movement In each being but half a point. There wero strong points nmong the minor railroads and specialties nnd tho coalers continued to show strength. The preliminary estimates of the week'a changes wero apparently rolled on as foro- nanowing a strong nanK statement tomor row. On the ordinary express movement With tho Interest, banks hp mi In linvn gained upward of Jl.OW.OCO, nnd nlthough the earlier gains from the subtreasury havo been wiped out, tho loss to that Institution Is only JKW.COO. The subtreasury figures In clttdo tho receipts to tho banks on nccotint ot Australian and Klondlko gold and also tho deposits of currency for telegraphic transfer to the Interior. These llgurcs do ot seem to nromlso n vvcrv strom? linnk statement and it is explained that special remittances to Phllndelnhla on nernnnf tn subscriptions to a municipal bond Issue and puymenis ior tne purcnaso of the Bethle hem Steel company aro not Included, To day thare was a further doolinn in v.w York exchango at Chicago to 60c discount and an additional J6O0.0C0 was deposited nt me HuuirciiHury ior transrer to Chicago, The railroad bond market shared In the greater activity nnd strength of the stock market, but speculative bonds were most conspicuous.

MllKhtl', ThmiKli Corn Is Still Intliltcil. NEW YORK, Aug. 23. It. O. Dun & Co.'s Weokly Hovlcw of Trade tomorrow will say: Though there are some drawbacks, notably the labor troubles In the Iron nnd steel Industry, butlness Is of well sustained voljmc, to which fact pnymcnts through tho country's clearing house, railroad earn lnga nnd the strength of prices of staple und partly manufactured merchumllsa olfer ampie testimony. uxcepi in ceriiuu urancnes ot tho textile murKcts seners 01 merchandise have an ndvntitage over buy ers anu distribution Is ns large ns stocks will permit. The Am.ilsntnnted Association of iron. Steel anil Tinnlntn Workers succeeded 111 enlisting the sympathy of other workmen wiin ma result tnut tne output ot mer chant bar and wire rods is curtailed to tho extent of about 40,000 tons monthly. Ho yond this defection wagc-eurncrs In allied nrnncnes or tne steel industry nnvo re fused to break their contracts, Many Idlo mills resumed during the Inst week and even In the tlnnlntc region there Is n moderate ojtput. Plates havo responded 111 u. rise irom nDroau anu prices 111 1110 London market shartilv ndvunced. Hoot) and steel mills Increase production dully and there Is nn loss In the rail division. but some anxiety is felt regarding supplies .of cottontles, ns the picking season has begun In many states. Decreased consump tion tonus to weaKen pig iron, anu tin is similarly affected. Exceptional activity Is still the rule nt shoo shops and promises to continue for somo months. Old orders arc being filled as rapidly ns possible, and shipments from factories show 11 steady Incrense over last yeur of ubout 30 per cent. One of the most satisfactory signs Is the evidence that llttlo summer stocks will have to be car ried over. Sole leather continues remark ably strong, backs gaining another cent, while there Is a splendid demand tor hem lock, both for domestic use and export. Belting has advanced und kangaroo leather Is much higher. Hides are without chungo In price nnd Helling freely. Slightly better terms asked for stnplo woolen nnd worsted goods In no way diminished the volume of sales, nnd the lightweight season promises to bo one of activity, in ncavyweignts mere is niso noticed greater Interest on tho purt of buyers thun Is customary at this late date. These Improved conditions In the manufac tured nrticio give a firm tone to raw wool desplto the heavy arrivals nt eastern mar kets of the now clip. After n season ot dullness nt 8c n pound. cotton suddenly developod considerable ani mation nnu strengtn. 1110 cnici inuucncc was unsatisfactory weather In Texas, nl though there was also aid In the specula tive market from covering of the large short Interest 'outstanding. Ltvernool quickly responded to better prices hero. There was further support In the fniluro of any ngroement regarding wngo reduc tion nt Kali River, ns a strike would as suredly have followed and consumption of 1110 raw material wouiu nave uecn ma terially curtailed. Sales of print cloths havo increased In the last few days and prices rose, relieving the situation, but It may bo found necessary to reduce tho out put by partial stoppage of wheels. Other lines of cottons have enjoyed moro activity and occasional advances In quotations arc reported. Decided Interest Is flhown In fall goods, tho Jobbing trade being well occupied. In lines exported to China there 1b 11 fair movement. Grain quotations, eased off somewhat dur ing tho week, though tho not decline was small. Corn is still close to tho highest prices since 1892. even with a host of Im portant dealers militating ugalnst such In flated figures. Weather conditions steadily Improve, making the outlook bright for lato planted corn. Foreign customers have been driven away by high prices to tho benefit of Russia and Argentina, nnd At lantic exports for three weeks aggregated only 1,012,689 bushels, against 7,636,648 last year anu u.iw.iui Dusneis two years ago. Meanwhile Interior receipts steadily ex ceed those of a vear acrn. Inrilcntlnir Hint farmers have. largo stocks. carried over from proviuus excessive- yields. Nevertheless, prices remain above 60c. Tho slight reac tion In wheat Is explained bv the decrease In Atlantic shipments to 4.833.766 bushels, against 7,352,800 bushels In the previous week. Compared with the exports of 1 670,817 bushels last year and 2.73S.887 bushels two years ngo. howover. thero appears a phenomenal gain. Pacific exports aro still retarded by labor troubles. Failures for tho week number 205 In the United Stntes, ngnlnst 171 last year, and 35 In Canada, against 29 last year. DIlADSTllKRT'S FINANCIAL REVIEW.
