PINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL.

WALL STREET.
WEDNESDAY. July 12-6P NJ.
On Change to-day wheat was steady In price,
with a fairly active trade. The cotton market was
weak and lower.
THE UPTOWN RIOTS.
Intelligence OF the bloody scenes in the upper
wards was slow in reaching the various markets,
and. contrary to the eventually, the earliest Inn
pressions In business against the chances OF
riot. After twelve O'Clock however, very little dis
position to transact business was shown, and the
markets, by general accord, were allowed to be.
come very dull.
In Wall street the portion OF the day succeeding
the morning board was intensely duh, and when
the news of actual 1gntlng was received the Stock
Exchange was nearly deserted Indeed, business
closed perhaps hour earlier than the usual time.
MONEY EASY.
There was no new feature In money which was
easy at three per cent stocks and at three
per cent on governments.
Foreign exchange was dull and steady at the rates
last quoted
Very little was doing in commercial paper and
quotations were unchanged.
GOVERNMENTS STEADY.
Fhe government list was steady, but without note
worthy strength. In fact, there was some dlsposi-
ton at the close to accept lower prices, par.
tcularly as the gold market closed weak. The fol-
lowing were the latest sidewalk quotatons:-United

GOLD IRREGULAR-1l2is q 1928 a ll2}k.
The gold market was dull, and, curiously enough,
failed TO reflect anything of The disturbed feeling IN
the public mind. The specie shipment proving to
be little over nalf million dollars and foreign ex
change being steady. the first dealings developed a
buying temper in the market, which occasoned a
rise of 1927 to 1928. But later IN the day the ad-
vance was fully lost despite more active inquiry
for cash gold to cover speculative sales, and the
market left Off just as 1t had opened. The luctua-
tons in the price during the day are shown In the
