GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, July The stock market
was extremely dull throughout the day,
especially in railroad stocks, of which
only ST. Paul and Atchison showed any
animation whatever. Trusts were fairly
active, though lead and sugar monopo-
lized the interest IN that class of securi-
ties. Fluctuations in the general list
were confined throughout to the smallest
limits. Atchison was very weak in the
forenoon on Tumors that the company
had been compelled to borrow money for
the July interest, and the old talk of a
receiver was heard in some quarters,
which, while it gained no credence,
served TO give a dropping tone to stock.
The market closed very dull, but firm to
strong, and generally at advances of
small fractions over Saturday $ figures.
Railroad bonds were quiet, but there
was little more animation than usual of
late
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.

Netherlands and Northern France have
destroyed much corn. A fine harvest

come The Algerian harvest is satisfac-
tory and it is thought there win be
surplus for export of 500 200 quarters.
Over an average yield is promised in
Northwest Europe. IN the Latin coun-
tries there viii be a full yield. The
firmuess of English wheat Is remark
able. Prices are so extremely low that |
farmers have no fear of further depres-
sion resulting from retaining their grain
no matter what may be the probable |
American surplus in August or English |
deliveries in September.
fShe sales of English wheat during the |
weak were 354 ,855 quarters at 27s Id, |
against 81 800 quarters at 3ls 4d during

can reports are less favorable Russian |

tious. Beans and peas are less depressed.
