wAsHIHsToH. Saturday Evening, July "a.
There have been some very important events In
commercial and stock circles during the week
both at home and on the other side. The activity
which has prevailed In all the branches Of trade
throughoutths East Is unprecedented as regarded
in comparison with any previous week this year.
This Is the result Of the foreign demand for bread
stufs, and, while grain circles and the Changers
feel It In the West. it is beginning to exert uni
verssl influence throughout the country, and is
bringing into employment many heretofore idle
hands.
A great variety of views are taken Of the atti-
tude Of the wheat market BY the newspapers and
business men Of the country. While the transsc-
tions SAVIOR strongly of unjustihsble speculation,
there Is no doubt In the minds Of those who have
examined into the extent Of the damages to for
eign crops and the quantityin granaries, that the
demand Of the past two weeks VIII continue dur
ing the year, and the slight stagnation which set
tone Of the Wild Speculation, is only temporary,
and will be resumed. The shipments Of wheat
from New York this week aggregated 100000
year amounted to only 100000 bushels. As the
London Stock Exchange has made an innovation
and stepped into the Ejaculation, and as prices
after adding the cost Of ana Is the
new American yield may come below the estimate,
Il seems that prices viii be sustained or further
The large amount of funds at New York which
ts easily available 10 W Wall-street men does not
seem to have been used this week to Withstand
the influences Of the grain movement upon gold.
The result was that further decline was estsb-
hshsd, with . slight rally at the close Of the
was 1147s, the lowest 111Z, closing st ll21S The
foreign exchange and money markets are IN
The Washington security, bond and stock and
menetary markets are unchanged and quiet.
