MONEY And BUSINESS.

The aspect Of speculative markets has changed
during the past week with almost Kaleidoscope
completeness and rapiditv. week ago the
wheat market was falling as If there were no bot
tom, while under the lead Of Western men, who
prOfessed to have become tired Of wheat specu
lation, the stock market was booming. This
state of things continued until Wednesday. 1t
might be well to observe that when the stock
market gets into the hands of men who are BY
profession and choice grain gamblers, sharp
and quick turns are to be expected, and the
first sign of them can often be detected in the
grain market. 1t was not by accident that the
wheat market opened on Wednesday with
sharp turn against "shOrts," and the stock
market opened the same day with rumOrs that
the new Chicago leaders had sold out.
There was obviously more to be made III
grain than in stocks for the moment, and the
rumors had for a basis the presumption that
traders would 60 where they could make the
most money, and also the fact that the stock
market had been particularly stimulated on
Tuesday with confidential "sure points" to
buy. The people who bought accordingly
were permitted to see stocks close lower on
Saturday, averaging only 80 cents per share
higher than at the close Of the previous week,
while wheat took rapid turn upward until
Saturday, and even after some reaction that
day closed at sos for June, against s37s Il
week ago. There was nothing outside of spec
uative influences to make stocks go down or
wheat go uD, and corn declined pa cents
during the week and oats a quarter.
The changes III the money market were
largely due to the shifting of speculative in
tcrcsts. Though the banks reported loss of
almost 81 900, 900 in reserve and 81, ,7G2, ,G25
i'll SURPLUS the statement does not properly re-
late to their condition at the end of the week.
The reported loss of SCOT, 500 specie, with
no gam of consequence in legal tenders, con-
trasts curiously with the fact that the Treasury
had only 100000 more gold at the end than
at the beginning of the week, but ~. $50, 600
less legal tenders. Only S5O0.OO0 gold
