NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-The stock mar
ket to day opened up generally a frac-
ton higher. The usual raid on tobacco
was soon begun and decline followed
off 8 per cent with a rally of but Is
per cent. The preferred eased off IA
per cent. Manhattan, which has also
been under pressure of late, yielded
3 per cent and recovered per cent.
The heaviness of these shares did not in
fuence the general speculation and
values appreciated under the leadership
of Chicago Gas, which gained 38 per
cent. The market closed dull and firm
with most of the stock traded in a frac-
ton within last nights figures.
The volume of business of the week
shows a decline compared with that of
the preceding six days, which were
among the dullest of the year. This
is to BIO accounted for partly
by the absence from the street on vaca-
ton the representatives of many leading
operations, but the transactions are also
restricted by reason of uncertainty as to
the movement of gold to Europe and the
immediate future of the exchange
market.
The sales of the week aggregated 1862, p
400 shares and 1876 stocks were trad
ed in.
Bonds to day were quiet and irregular
but the more important changes are
gains. The sales were $508, 900.

Higher Liverpool Cables--StOCk Mar
ket a Fraction Higher--The Volume
of Business of the Week Shows a De-
cline Compared with Previous Week.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Fhe cotton mar
ket opened strong, ~ points in advance,
ruled irregular and closed quiet, but
steady at net gain of CATO points. The
early advance was attended with con-
siderable excitement, and due almost en-
tirely to unexpectedly higher Liverpool
cables in connection with conflicting crop
reports from Texas and elsewhere, and
supplemented by the weekly report Of
the Financial Chronicle, according to
which crop conditions have been
rather unfaVorable during the past week.
Moisture is said to be needed generally.
In a few localities along the Gulf and At
lantic there has been rather too much
rain. The rise in the Liverpool was
claimed to be due to a bullish interpre-
tatiOn given to a statement published by
Bradstreets regarding the condition Of
the Texas crop. The market closed with
a nervous feeling.
Port receipts estimated for the day at
200 bales against las last week, and ASP
last year. For the week estimated at
1900 bales against 1910 last week, and
1899 last May.

STOCK AND FARM.

Kiowa Globe: Small irrigation plants
are being put in all through western
Kansas, which will cause great change
in few years. Land will be in demand
and small farms will be the rule.
Champion: It is generally conceded
by the wheat raisers of Atchison county
that the soft wheat is killed. They say
that up to date the bard wheat is all
right Mr.. Cromer, the horticulturist,
gives it as his opinion that the peach
crop is about half killed. That the cold
weather of the last few weeks was too
close to the danger line to admit OF
more than half crop with favorable
weather from now on.
Deiphos letter: Now that the wealth
er is again clear, and the snow is fast
disappearing, the people give less color
to their accounts of the storm and ''sum
up" the results of the recent three weeks
of zero weather as follows: Stock suf-
fered some. but there was no loss.
Wheat has been damaged in places, but
is not nearly SO generally blown out as
first reports indicated. Many farmers
think that peaches are uninjured.
Topeka Mail: Within a radius of three
miles from Menoken there is doubtless
more corn than at any other similar To-
calitv in Kansas. Some of it is of the
crop of 1898 and it is in the hands of
farmers who are abundantly able to hold
it, A. B. Gordon has fully 5000 bush
els, 5000 of which is in the crib at the
station. Jacob Roller has 5000 bushels;
on the Pence bottom place there are g.
900 bushels; B. B. Niles has $500 bush
els; A. M. Coleman has 1000 bushels;
VIM. Boast 1000; Sam Landes, 1000;
Oliver Willy 1000. On the Hollenshade
place Elmer Witter has 1000 bushels;
T. Gordan 1000 bushels; Jacob Rush
and his tenant have about 1000 bush
els; while E. Scotch & Son have fully
4 900 bushels. There are larger num-
Der of farmers not so we'll fixed, who
have from 500 to a 1000 bushels each.
It is safe to say that within the radius
mentioned there are fully $4,000 bush
els Of corn of the product Of SO and
"a, now in the hands of the farmers
who raised it.

A special meeting of the stockholders
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas was
held in Parsons to pass upon the plan
OF constructing two small pieces of rail-
way essential to the general system.
One is a spur of sixteen miles to coal
mines in southeastern Kansas, owned by
the company. which will save $4,000 a
year on coal supply. The second piece
will establish connections between st.
Louis and Kansas City, rendering avail
able for an entirely new traffic 800 miles
of existing lines owned by the company.
Topeka Capital: Engineer Charles
Umpleby, who was killed in the Santa
Fe head end collision in Dead Mans
Cut, near Seward, Oklahoma, began his
career as a railroad man in Topeka, his
mother now residing, at SOB Jefferson
street. The deceased was about % years
of age and leaves three small children,
his wife having died eighteen months
since. The remains were brought to
Topeka by a committee of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, of which
he was member. The funeral was held
from the residence of his mother.
