NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The volume of
business on the Stock Exchange to-day
reached the minimum, speculation was
sluggish and prices moved irregularly
with extremely narrow limits. Ameri
cans were also dull and weak in the
London market, and the little trading
done here for the foreign account was
on the bear side of the market. Small
realizations and the covering of short
contracts was the factors.
The market closed firm in tone.
Bonds were quiet and firm. The sales
were 81, 126, 900.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS /:
CHICAGO.


CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-The wheat mark t
to day was battered with statistics re-
garding the shortage of the worlds crops
until it was knocked clean off its feet.
1t was revived and sent up again by the
taking of about $50 900 bushels for ship
ment, an extraordinary feature of which
was that $4,000 bushel of the amount
was for London. At the close and early
decline of 7 s cent had been recovered,
and the price left off 8 higher than it
closed yesterday.
Corn was knocked out of its gait by
the falling down of Boston firm which
was said to be long about million for
September, the selling out of which for
their account caused decline of Sc.
per bushel from the highest point. May
was unaffected and closed Sc. higher.
Provisions were firm after early weak
ness, the close showing advances Of 15c.
each in pork, lard and ribs.

The early Liverpool cables were calcula-

disposition to hold off for the publication
of the Bureau report from Washington,
due next Saturday. May reports, like
the telegraphic advices, are conflicting
respecting the crop and it is hard to
draw conclusions at the present time.

Ono of the Wonders of Physics.

An experienced mechanic who was
asked what he regarded as the most
wonderful thing for general utility re-
piled: 1.-The tracking of a car wheel is
the most wonderful thing to me in the
whole range of science and invention.
Here are two rails, up hill and down
hill, round the sharp curves and along
false tangents, AND upon them fly at
more than mile a minute, without jar
or jostle, dozen heavy cars drawn by
an engine weighing 60 tons. Passengers
realize no danger, yet there is only the
little tango of wheel between them
and eternity. An inch and a half of
steel turned up on the inner side of the
wheel holds up the whole train as Sc
curely to the rails as if it were bolted
there in grooves Albany Express.
