Review, Received Daily by Pullen. Crock

er q Co.
NEW YORK July %.
The only new feature IN the market to-
dayswas the disposition to sell theagrangers
on reports of considerable damage to the
corn crop by the drought. Sugar rallied on
further indications of the frames of the
Senate in the tariff deadlock but it was the
only strong stock in the list. The character
of the speculation was unchanged and stbe
days operations were apparently mainly for
the short account. 1t would be unfortunate
if the reports of the injury to corn were
confirmed, in view of the depressed condi-
ton of agrit culture already resulting from
the low price of wheat. Such a misfortune,
coupled with the stagnation of business due
to the unsettled legislative situation at
Washington, might serve o revive bear dis
cussions of the possibility of reduction in
dividends on the western roads. Another
unfavorable feature is the promise of heavy
gold exports at the end of the week. The
foreign exchange market is virtually bare of
bills, and there is no prospect of an increase
in the next two days the estimates of posi-
BILE shipments on Saturday from $780,
600 to S5000,OO0. The administration mad
hoped to have solved the problem of the
treasury condition by the prompt settle
ment of the tariff question, but as the
wrangle in Congress has gone so far that no
one can predict the outcome, it is evident
that if the eflux of geld is to continue at
the rate now threatened the treasury will
be compelled to look to other forms of relief.
The adverse conditions now prevailing, and
the uncertainties of thesoutlook are obstacles
to Improvement. Present indications point
to. lower prices, and unless the short in
terests expands too rapidly or the corn crop
is speedily rescued from the dangers OIL
drought we are inclined to look for further
