SUGAR AND LEAD RISE,
But the Other Industrials and Rail-
way Shares Decline.
A MILLION GOLD FOR EXPORT
Checks the Animation and Starts the Gen.
eral List Downward.
RAILROAD BONDS UNUSUALLY DULL

New YORK, Aug 1.-THE stock market
to-day again displayed reactionary temper,
despite the strength in the Industrials
Among the Grangers RocK Island showed
most weakness In the forenoon, but Atch-
ison led the downward movement later in
the day. St. Paul was offered down, but
received support and recovered, the others
displaying no feature of note. The weak
spot in railroad shares was the
Wheeling and Lake Eries, each of which
retired about 1 per cent on very light
offerings, but all other losses were confined
to fractional amounts. The Sugar and Lead
stocks were leaders among the Industrials,
the Cordage shares being quite neglected,
and General Electric was advanced only in
the afternoon. The upward movement in
the Sugars and Leads was very sharp in the
lifted % per cent, while the common was
content with a. The Leads rose u and ~
respectively before the movement came to a
halt.
The engagement of nearly a million gold
for shipment had the usual effect of check
ing the animation and advance. though the
dropping tendency OF the general list could
hardly be said to have been stimulated by
it. and the activity of the brokers WHO
usually act for the leading bears was suf-
ficient to account for all the weakness dis
played during the day. Prices dragged
along during the day, slowly depreciating,
but toward the close there was an increase
in the pressure of short sales and special

The fears of a liquidation Of Mr. Bostwick's
holdings possibly eXerted some influence in
bringing that stock to the 'front.' but the SELL
ing Tor the day was strictly for tile short
account, andfn anticipation of such lfquida-
ton the market remained without other
feature and finally closed quiet and weak
at the lowest prices of the day.
The losses in the last hour brought most
of the active stocks down to materially
lower level than that of last evening, and
while Sugar preferred scored a net gain of

ANOTHER DECLINE.
Heavy Movements of Grain and Hogs to
Market Depress Prices

Market Depress PriceA
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE movement Of wheat
and hogs gave the markets for grain and
provisions q decline to-day. The weak ca
bles and more favorable crop news added TO
the heaviness, and prices went lower all
around. The action in the wheat market In
dropping to 761Sc for September was not at
all surprising to either buyers or sellers.
The cables were bearish, the weather per-
feet, the crop returns more favorable, and
the movement to market heavy. Cables
were lower and Western receipts free. Tho
weekly crop bulletin from Washington was
very favorable. A Paris private cable said
the French yield was larger than was ex-
pected, and the market was weakening.
The export clearances were lighter at zI,.
600 bushels of wheat and moderate amoune
OF ho1r from Atlantic ports Onsetting all
this bear news, buyers had only the fact
that prices look safe for tnvestmenLs T. tns ne
free outmovement here of about 100000
bushels day, and the possible crop dam
age in the Northwest. 1t is feared that II
the Buffalo railroad strike continues longer
it will injure the grain markets very serious
ly, as parties will fear to ship with such
great risks.
The corn market opened weak, ostensibly
ment for the crop throughout the entire
country. The latest trading was at 6lsc for
September.
The oats market showed another decline.

from the outside, crop reports were un-
changed, and other markets on the hoor
were weak and the close shows loss of Ac.
There was a decided change in the tone of
the provision market, and from leading all
others in strength it became decidedly weak
and generally dull, and was raided badly.
The decline was helped by the lower prices
ruling at the stock yards and the larger hog
receipts. Pork went off 60c from last night,

A FAIR TRADE IN PROGRESS.
And Merchants Regard the Future Hope
fulIy-Good Conditions Prevalent in the
West and South-Current Crop and Busi-
ness Gossip and Revised Prices.
WEDNESDAY, Aug. II.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. II.
The movement of general merchandise is
not large, but it is fair, all things consid-
cred, and merchants are confident that the
autumn trade will be large and profitable.
They are counting on the Exposition help
ing all lines OF business, and believe that,
within another month, the industrial situa-
ton will be such as to stimulate rather than
depress trade. Generally speaking collec-
tions are fair.
Western reports note a fair trade outlook,
and correspondents at all important South
ern points report that in general business
the conditions are quite satisfactory ior the
season of the year. Reports as to injury by
the cotton worm are frequent, and the pros
poets for the new crop are not very hatter-
ing; production will be materially decreased.
The cereal crops are in good condition. and
the WELD of corn in the central South Is
larger than usual. The practical settlement
of labor trouble in the iron region shown by
the signing of the wage scale and prepara-
tions for resuming by many concerns will
increase the demand for Southern iron, the
price of which is still very low. The lumber
market is decidedly stronger, and small
advance has been ordered in the price of
yellow pine. The interest in the home man.
ufacture of cotton is still on the increase,
and several new mills have recently been
started.
"We read great deal about the shortage
in the oat crop in the West, but nave not
seen any mention or the unprecedented crop
of oats raised by Texas this year. Our
speciality is shipping oats from chicago into
the Southern States This trade is now en-
tirely cut off, as Texas is supplying every
Southern State south of Virginia. They are
selling oats delivered in Alabama and
Georgia points at cents per bushel less
than we can deliver oats from this market
From all we can learn, Texas has raised
enough oats to supply the whole Southern
country for many months to come, and this
cuts big figure in the oat consumption."-

Watson & Gibson to Oakley & Co.: "The
strike news to d ay, if it had come upon a
market with operators disposed to be bear
ish, would have precipitated a much greater
decline especially as it came in conjunction
with an engagement of nearly a million
more gold for export. Traders think that
the heroic measures accepted by the State
will suppress the rioting tendency of strikers
and that the violent end destructive spirit
manifested by the mob will deter selfre.
specting employees OF the great railways
from engaging in a sympathetic strike.
'St. Paul for the second week of August
increased its gross earnings nearly s95 0OO,
and the business it is now doing far sur
passes all previous records The annual
meeting of this company occurs September
81 and good report for its fiscal year end
ing June 80 will be made. 1t will show that
the company can safely pay per cent divi-
dends. We look for much higher prices for
st. Paul, and If we get bull market within
a year, st. Paul ought to sell at par or
higher. 1t has never been in as safe and
good permanent position as at present,
though, OF course, it once temporarily
earned more net money.
The feeling of traders grew Respondent as
the day progressed, and, not seeing any
thing new to bull the market on, these
turned in to sell, causing rather weary
dropping closing. The outlook for to.mor-
row is a renewal of this selling. Then the
accumulated short interest will lead sharp
rally again. Yesterday the bears were re-
fecting, to-day the bulls are engaged in this
pastime.

to sell in our judgment"
