THE SITUATION IN WALL STREET.
The same party that were crying ''no bottom ~
for Wall street values are now. the Herald re-
marks, apparently acting On the belief TINT prices
hsye ''no top. The public is as little inclined to
believe their promises OF good it was TO accept
their prophecies OF evil. The efforts Of tue bull
performers on Wednesday to push stocks up by
the nssiduous use OF rumors OF increased divi-
dcnds by Western Union, and heavier earnings
by the leading railroads, were notsuecessful without
severe set backs caused by the efforts of many
operators to realize when the market was at its
best The bears are counting on 1 break being
made in the market bE q stringency in the loan
market, but it is not safe to rely upon this. The
large operators have made their loans fpr the
rest of the year. But, ii this be the case, ahcavy
drain Of capital to the West to move the crops
might break the banks II not the operators.

The largest gain at this city, rs usual, must be
considered as in part to speculation. The loss
at Boston, though small is the less easily cx-
planned, because transactions at Worcester show
fair Improvement nor is it easy to see why there
should be even small loss at Chicago, with
large gain at Milwaukee, unless because Of The
strike early in August As the season comes dur
active last year. the decline III exchanges ut Phla
dclphia becomes greater, and it should be Kept in
there represents no decline in regular business.
BALTIMORE and Cincinnati give very encouraging
evidences OF improvement, and Kansas City is
really making surprisingly rapid advances in com
mercal importance, though a part OF its gain is
due to comparative deficiency OF crop last year.
The smaller cities also gain. and the oes at Pitts

naturally hc expected in view Of disturbances early

Corn in Liverpool Is very strong. 1t was quoted
at POS I'd Saturday for October delivery. The par
tial faiuro OF the potato crop in Ireland has been
assigned as reason for strength in corn; but to
that may be added the indications that the British
barley crop will not be more than one-fourth Of IN
average; which will naturally increase the con-
sumption Of corn. Looking at these things Satur
day, reporter asked prominent operator why
October deliveries in corn were being so heavily
discounted. The P. o. replied that the crowd has
