THE BANK HOLIDAY IN ENGLAND

WAS VIRTUAL sTAGNATIoN
SUGAR, SIT. PAUL AND MANHAT-
TAN WERE THE ONLY STOCKS
MOVED.

Bond Market Was Firm and Silver
Certificates Braced ON Rather
Small Purchases.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The dullness
or speculation today almost beggared
description and three stocks redeemed
the market from virtual stagnation.
These were Sugar. st. Paul and Man
hagftan. The last mentioned recorded
the widest fluctuations, while Sugar
though on abnormally light dealings,
led the list in point of activity. The
market opened dull and uninteresting,
and as lacking the initiative of Lon
don, on account of the holiday of that
center, the traders inclined to the bear
side. Prices sagged all along the line,
with the more important concessions
in the grangers. The declines were
fractional, and even the bear demon
STATIONS were rather listless Lack of
commission house buying and of sup
port by inside interests in properties
generally was distinctive feature of
the days operations. After the initial
dealings, further concessions were
made. Sugar sold off IN, and the
grangers and a few other shares
an extreme 1 per cent, while Manhat-
tan, exceptionally, yielded 2A
per cent, with subsequent
fractional recovery. There was
no news of importance bearing npon
values, and about the only interest
aroused by any of the price movements
was the facility with which Manhattan
CCulIIlueS TO De depressed. Inc INFER
ence drawn was that insiders were
either short themselves, which does not
appear an unreasonable theory, or were
viewing the enlargement of the short
interest in the stock with complacency
with Interior motives. In sluggish
sort of way prices recovered in the
late session, working close to the final
figures on Saturday, and in few in
stances Slight net gains were recorded.
The closing was steady ait slight de-
clineS in most cases.
The bond market exhibited degree
of ffrmness at the outset, but later sag
ged sharply, failing to respond to the
rally in the stock market as the day
progressed Ohio Southern firsts, ex-
ceptionally, gained per cent to 80,
firsts and ST. Louis Southwestern
firsts, IN, and Hooking Valley 5s,
East Tennessee consol 5s and Ore

declines were Brooklyn warehouse 5s,

1T WAS A QUIET DAY. BUT THE
MARKET CLOSED STRONGER
THAN SATURDAY.
HOT WEATHER WAS A FACTOR.

CEIPTS.
CORN WAS VERY MUCH STRONGER

Higher.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-There was an
| erratic day in wheat. 1t see-sawed up
and down on conflicting reports and
closed steady at 5SAc for September,
or &c over Saturday. Corn was f1rmer,
principally because of the Missouri
crop report making the condition now
| SO, as against ITO on Aug. 1 year
| ago. Provisions closed firm at a slight
advance for the day.
1t was a quiet day in wheat, trading
being light and fluctuations narrow at
&c. The feeling developed early was a
! little easier, after which a somewhat
stronger tone was displayed and final
| figures showed nc advance. The hot
weather West was something of q
factor early, and then local receipts
overran a little, while the out-inspec-
ton was light and speculative offer
ings were larger than the market could
| take and prices receded. There was
an absence Of foreign advices, owing
to the holiday in England, but con-
tinental markets ruled firm, Paris be-
| ing up SOLO centimes and Berlin II
mark better. Northwestern receipts
were small and the Danubian ship
ments quite little under those of the
| previous week, and helped steady
the market, as did the decrease in the
visible of 100000 bushels Closing
cables quoted Paris wheat 10000 CEN
times up, and flour 1925 centimes bet
1 ter. Berlin was 112 marks higher.
There was not much Of trade in corn,
the market ruling quiet and the range
being limited early, but later livened
up considerably, covering &c range.
Operations were almost entirely local,
and the future was the demand at the
! start from traders who went home
| short Saturday, and as speculative
! offerings were small at the time the
market advanced &c before the de-
showed R@Ac gain. Receipts, while
| liberal, did not come up to expecta-
| tons. Country acceptances were said
to be small again today, while the cash
| demand continues very fair.
There was a fair trade In oats and
an unsettled feeling with a sc range.
The market opened steady, but weak
ened with wheat, but later rallied with
that market, and closed steady about
the same as Saturday. There was good
4 buying by elevator people. The
weather was hot and generally dry,
which is expected to increase the move
ment. Withdrawals from store were
small.
The provision market appeared to
follow the course of the grain futures.
It was weak early and firm near the
close. After selling as low as 1928,
| September pork rose to and closed at
| $6.35 or 21ac higher than on Saturday.
| but made each a greater gain in the
end than pork. Lard closed sc higher
and ribs 10c higher.

The Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapolis
& Omaha Railway has issued crop
report of the condition of the North
western yield on wheat, oats, corn,
barley and flax The report is up to
the present date, and is favorable to
the farmers. 1t is as follows:
MINNESOTA.
Wheat-Nearly all cut Considerable
damage by Hessian fly. In the vicinity
of Kasota. some threshing done, Yield
estimated at 10 to Is bushels per acre,
and probably better crop than hereto
fore anticipated.
Harvesting we'll advanced.
Good crop. Some estimates place it at
half to third of last year on account of
rust and worms. Yield in places 70 to
so bushels.
Corn-Looks we'll. and a good yield
expected.
Barley-Mostly harvested and good
crop.
FlaX-Looks very promising.
Owing to favorable weather the
past week for growing grain, farmers
think the yield will be as good as last
year. Harvesting of small grain is
well under way. Very little stacking
done.
IOWA
Oats-Not much, change in condition
of crop since last report. Some farm
ers estimate that oats will not be more
than half the crop of last year
Flax-Will be a full crop.
COrn-LookS well, with prospect Of
large yield.
.Wheat-Harvestin well under way.
NEBRASKA.
Corn-Looks fine
Oats-Estimated half to third crop.
Damaged by rust and heavy rain. At
Lyons, nearly a total failure on &C
count of rust and army worm.
Wheat-Estimated from two-thirds

IMMIGRATION RATES.
General Manager Purdy Explains
the X. It's Action.

Vice President and General Manager T. G.
Purdy, Of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas ar
rived in the city yesterday In his private car
accompanied by his two daughters and party.
The party left last evening ON the Northern
Pacific for Fargo, and from that city will
leave tomorrow for Yellowstone Park to spend
several weeks While in the West Mr. Purdy
will take a side trip for hunting and fishing
purposes Mr. Purdy, in discussing the pres
ent rates offered by his road on immigrant
traffic said 1t did not expect the war would
go any further as his road had made a rate
which the other lines would not be likely to
reduce. The rate, he said, was absurdly low,
and would not be maintained long. 1t was as
cheap under the rate to go from Liverpool to
galveston, and from Galveston into the West
and Northwest as it was from Liverpool to
New York and thence West. Vice President
Purdy stated that there was but little bust
ness moving in freight circles and railroad
Ing generally was dull. Freight rates in his
territory were far more stable than they are
In the Northwest. 1--WE have an association
called the Southwestern Traffic association
ana any agreement made by its members is
strictly followed out. This is probably the
reason We are not at present embroiled in a
rate war as are the Western and Northwest
ern roads,
