The wht marketa are beginning ro net with a tired and rather weary feeling, showing a lack of buoyancy and a dis position to sng, while iculstors are ruling- after the stirring times of the last sixty daya. Threshing is going on In the . northwest and the wheat trade appmrs willing t nwalt returns taut will nettle the Important matter of crop yield In that section. 'The news from the l.;.rveat fields Is confirmatory of the worxt that hss tieen predicted. On 'this matter crop etperts sgree.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS Market Dull and Narrow and Bather Irreg ular in Tone. CLOSE IS FIRM, WITH PRICES HIGHER Ramor that Wheat Crop Tws Hoa dred aad Fifty Million Bashels aBOrt a Factor la Early Depression. NEW YORK. Aug. 2-There la little to be Haiti tor todays stock market, 'trading during tne greater part 01 tne brlct n-s-elon was dull and mrrow and tne ton run rather irregular. London vent lower prices and renewed activity In the commod ity markets and this probaoly accounted for the attitude of the trading element. A private estimate- that the wneat crop is likely to tall am.Oui.mW bushels below that of 1901 and very much below that of last year commanded serious attention In many quarters. The monotony of the day was enlivened by gossip that L'Dlon Paciilc and Missouri l'acnc were to engage In, rate cutting tor ateel products, aio of a reported tight between the l'tfltcl States Steel corpoia tlou and the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany. Humors of a strike on the local ele. valed lines were authoritatively denied. There were fractional declines at the open ing In St. Paul, L'nion Paciilc, Atchison and Norfolk & Western. The -polnt break In Canadian Pacific waa natural In view of the proposed stock increase. The lists steadied somewhat after the early reaction, under the lead of St. Paul, which waa taken In large amounts. Reading also came In for some attention. The publication of the bank statement, showing a much smaller loss of caah thin had been anticipated, was of sentimental value, even though the statnmeiit was based upon the so-called system of de clining averages. Trading became rather animated In the final dealings, with prac tically all the active list sharing In the upward movement. The market dosed Arm. with prices In some Instances better than the previous day's close. St. Paul maxla a net gain of 1 and Heading 1 points. Another telegraphic transfer of 5rfl,ono to ChUago was mitde by the subtreuaury. Total sales of bonds, par value, were 11,270.000. The quotations on the New Tork Stock exchange ranged aa follows . .

For tne week recelots have been light, there be ing a decrease as compared with last week amounting to about 3,uoo head and aa com pared wltn the same week of laat year the decrease was about th same. With a fairly liberal demand the tendency of price has been decidedly upward on all kinds. . . . There has been a liberal sprinkling of cornfed steers in the offering all th week, but evidently there wera not enougu to meet the requirements of the traue, aa price ruled strong practically all the week and a net gain aa compared with tho close of last week amounting to 15fc25c In noted. The demand seems to be greatest for well finished heavy cattle and least for com mon light cattle. The pretty good grades of cattle and the choice ones have shown the most Improvement. Oood to choice enrnfed steers mav be quoted from 85.60 to 16; fulr to good, Jo.0ixyti.60; and the com mon to fair, from 14 to 14.90. For the time of year the supply of west ern grass beef steers has been very light, and with a fairly liberal demand the mar ket has improved, if anything, more man In the case of cornfed. As a general thing the murket Is right around a quarter higher for the week, some kinds being a trifle more than that and others not quite so much. The pretty good grades have shown the most Improvement. The bulk of the steers now Bell from 13.25 to 11. with common stuff from 13.25 down, and strictly choice from 84 up. There was a better demand for butcher stock last week than at any time since the beginning of the. strike, and with moderate receipts values movea upwara at a rupiu rate. Tho advance for the week amounts to 25'80c. As would naturally be expected with such a rapid advance, there Is con siderable unevenness, but all kinds have Improved. Ther Is some demand for cannera and cuttera, but still the call for that class Is limited. Most everything be ing offered comes from the western ranges, very few cornteos oeing onereu. some thing choice In the way of cornfed cows would probably sell from 13 to 83.50, while choice jielfera might reach 14 or a little better. The bulk of the gras cows sells from 12.26 to 12.75, with choice grades at 13 or a little better, and canners and cut ters from 11.75 to 12.26. Rolls have Improved to some extent dur ing the week In sympathy with th advance In steers and cows. Cornfeua are scarce. but sell from 13 to is.txi, wnne grassers go all the way from 11.75 to 12.50. Veal calves have not changed much and aell from 14 to 15. The aunoly of stockers and feeder was mora liberal last week than for aome time nut and the demand from tne oountry also showed much Improvement. A a re sult an active snd stronger market was experienced until the close of the week, when, tha snm aa usual, there was some weakness. As compared with th close of laat week, however, tnere is a net gain 01 10ffl5e. Oood to choice grades may be minted from 83.40 to 83.75: fair to good. 13 to 18.40, and common stuff, from 13 down.

'Ihe average ot all the hogs soio ioo.a, how ever, is Just about the aame as yrsttrday's average, uooo. snipping nogs soia to in best advantage and could be quoted about steady with yesterday's tx-tt time. Tney sold largely from lo.VT to 86.35, with a top at o i,v,. ine top ioaa averageu 311 pounda. Heavy hogs were ratner neglected todav. Darttcuiarly If they were lacking In quality. Such kinds were only about steady wltn yesteraay morning, or a ntii lower than the beot time yesterday. They went from 15.16 to 15. 22V. with an occasionally choice load at 15 .26. Mixed hogs sold mostly from to ao.ii . iramng was rainy active on all but the heavy hogs, so that the bulk of the offerings was disposed of In good seaaon. The close, though, was rather slow and weak, particularly on heavy weights. For the week receipts show an Increase over last week, amounting to about 9,lio head, and as com par feu with the same week of lant year there Is an Increase of about t.OOO head. In aplta of the liberal run th tendency of prlcea ha been upward and a net gain for the week of loo la noted Thla has carried prices to tlie highest point reached since early In July.
