PLENTY OF FUNDS.
The Mercantile Glasses About the Onl
Borrowers-Rates Steady.

The mercantile Glasses About the Only
Borrowers-Rates Steady.
There was no material change in local
financial conditions yesterday. Bank clear
ings improved little, and there was the
usual call for loans, chiefly from the mercan-
tile classes. Funds were abundant and rates
steady on the basis of6@7 per cent on the
regular run of accommo odations. Exchanges
through the Clearing House were 81, ,966 231 60
and balances $30l, ,ss5 49, Currency was rather
scarce.
The Val Street NeUs says: eve think that
people who are banking on the possibility of
bull market right away, would do we'll to
pay close attention to the condition of the
money market. They would probably save
both time and cash, that is, if they can cor
rectly interpret existing signs and condi-
tions. There is plethora of call money
and bankers and brokers are glad to get 9
per cent per annum or even less for their
balances. Although there seems to be less
pressure to obtain time loans it will be
found that this is simply because nobody is
period, and, therefore the demand is slack.
On the other hand, the offerings of time
money were never scantier. Here and there
certain lenders are willing to put out small
amounts at per cent for six months, but
they are looking very closely at the col
lateral, and good many stocks and bonds
do not find any favor with them"
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from T9@2 per cent, last loan

paper, 524@772. Sterling exchange quiet but
firm at s. 81 for 6O-day bills and 81 IS for

CONSIDERABLE TRADING AND SOME
REFRESHING FEATURES.

Memberships Come Higher Due to the Oil
Flurry-Not Enough of Philadelphia
90 Gas on Tap to Supply the Demand-A
Good Inquiry for Luster.
There was considerable trading in local
stocks yesterday, enough to show that the
market is not flat on its back. Sales were loO
shares on the three calls, besides two men,
berships at an advance and batch OF Blrm-
ingham Traction bonds.
When the bids for membership in the
Exchange was struck, there was some
surprise, a movement in this direction
being quite unusual. These transactions
seem to indicate increased confidence in an
upturn of business, as we'll as satisfaction
with present conditions.
There was strong disposition to buy Phil
adelphia Gas, but orders were hard to place;
a large amount could have been marketed
at a slight concession. 1t took ten days to
fill 50O-share order. How long those now
out will hang fire is an unknown quantity
Holders are beginning to realize that there
is something in the stuff.
There were buyers for Luster, but only one
small jag changed hands 1t seems to be held
by people who have access to inside news,
and are prepared to await events: 1t was
stated yesterday that the big mill would
soon be reconstructed and put into opera
tion. The result will determine the future
H.
Values did very little wobbling. As stated,
memberships sold at an advance. Philadel-
phia Gas weakened little at second CALL
but recovered. Central traction finished
big fraction better than the opening. Lus-
ter improved Il. Unassented Electric was
offered at 11A.
There was more inquiry for bank and in
surance stocks than for a long time, under
the influence of which there was some ap-
probation. Sales were:
First CALI memberships at 400 each, 80
Philadelphia Gas at 10A.
Second Gallo Luster at 121l, 40 at 1216, S.
900 Birmingham Traction bonds at 95.
Third call-5O Electric at 1O16, 80 Philadel-
phia Gas at 103I
Bids and asking prices at each call are ap-
dended:

A UNION PACIFIC BOOM
HAS A FAVORABLE EFFECT ON THE
SHARE LIST.

Rock Island and Burlington Follow the
Leader Closely-Some Concessions in
the Last Hour-Atchison Incomes the
Feature in Bonds.
New YORK, Aug. 12.-The stock market to-
day reversed it's temper of the last two days,
and while still dull and featureless for the
general list was strong almost throughout,
and a material improvement was made in all
the leading shares. The market for the pres
ent, it is conceded, hangs on the Union
Pacific affair, and the market to-day cer-
tainly took its tone from that stock, which
recovered the loss of yesterday. There was
an announcement that the syndicate had
certainly been made up and that Drexel,
Morgan & Co. would be largely represented
in it, which precipitated a rush to cover
shorts in Union Pacific with the result of a
sharp but steady appreciation in the value
of the stock on large transactions, nearly %,
600 shares of it changing hands in the first
hour.
The reports affecting the crops continued
to be most favorable, and Rock Island kept
closely behind Union Pacific on the upward
movement, while Burlington was also spec
tally strong, ,ssand the late weak stocks, includ-
ing Louisville and Nashville and Missouri
Pacific, made substantial improvements. The
buying of the foreigners, or what was made
to appear as such, was potent factor in

THE MAN WITHOUT A STOMACH

May exist as a museum freak, but most of US
recognize the stomach as necessary to life
and comfort. Most of us experience a little
trouble from this source occasionally, wrong
action ofthe stomach causing dyspepsia, ETC.,
and often the trouble extends, involving the
liver and bowels, whence we find biliousneSS
and constipation. We find also that the
welsand kidneys (nature's sewage system)
become clogged with effete matter, from
which comes impure blood, boils, blotches,
pfmples, scrofula, scrofulOus swellings and
cancerous complaints The Burdock Blood
Bitters taken ut the beginning, or at any later
stage arrests the trouble, restores the dis
ordered organ to activity, thereby removing
every vestige of disease. B. B. B. is an abso-
lutely pure extract of roots and herbs, which

THG TREND OK TRADE.


The Outlook More FavorabIs-The Iron
Trade-Efeet Of the Gold Shipments.
NEw YoRE, May l5-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: In
every respect the outlook is more fay.
orable excepting the large exprts Of gold
and the advance in the Bank OF England
to per cent, obviously for the purpose
Of drawing more gold from this country.
It Isl most favorable symptom that the
continued exports Of gold cause no panic
in this market. Wheat advanced 4 centB
per bushel on reports not substantiatstl
OF injury tothe crop in the northwest.
while corn has declined 3 cents and oaks
23 cents. Reports from other cities show
a moderate distribution Of business,
with easy money at Boston.
Lumber is more active aud expecteCi
TO rise, unless strikes prevent. At Phil.
adelpbia combing wool is in fair demand
and kult goods works full OF orders, but
the dry goods trade is timid. Bsssemer
iron Is o little more activsSaG steady
prices at Pittsburgh, and glass fairly No.
troit.
The iron furnaces in blast May /.
were Of about 1000 tons greater weakly
capacity than April l-il5,9O0 against
llS.4SS 9 month ago, and SO, $50 q year
ago. But the trade is less depressed and
