years AMI in nearly all instances meets the

WALL STREET ENJOYS BOOM
The Wall street stock market Is excited and
a bull fever prevails. based on the settlement
Of the troubles Of Reading. Prices Of nearly

ton Of the northeastern pool Transactions

vancng on purchases Of sterling by operators

unfsyOrable features Notwithstanding the
slight cheek 10 distribution at some points.
Stocks Of cotton are light at the Interior and
wOO'ens are expected to advance in price dur
!ng the next season.
GENERAL REPORTS GOOD.
Wool is remarkably strong AMI prices are
again gher, with the movement to manu-
facturers heavy. The belief appears general
that the American clip is short, and Aus
tra.Ian S certainly worth more abroad than
u is here
There is less satisfaction found in the tone
Df the grain market than elsewhere. Receipts
al the northwest have been very heavy. EX-
uo-t demand has been checked, and specula-
ton is in favor Of lower figures. Louisville
reports a favorable tobacco crop, with prices
lGvorng sellers.
The announcements OF LiCht's estimate of
the bet crop depressed the sugar market i
cent on th.S side. The visible supply shows a
further shrnkage, il being now S99,695 tons,
against 1,0J9,354 tons ut the same date last
