European Markets

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The markets opened generally dull today,
but closed strong on rumors that the pow
ers will come to an agreement on the east
ern question. Consols closed at 1121a buy
ers. Kaffirs were firm at the close. Ameri-
cans were good all day. but the close was
a fraction under the best. More interest in
Americans is notable among operators on
this side. New York Central and Norfolks
were especially bought today. Eries were
also strong. There was further rise in
Brazlians on the continued improvement
in exchange. Press reports attribute the
Improvement to Rothschilds having bought
the Central Brazilian railwy from the gov
ernment for a5,OOO,O ,OOO This is not correct.
The position is that strong continental and
English syndicate, including Rothschil9,
has been formed to make tender for the
railway next month. The London dis
count market was firm on the transfer
today of Ell 800, 900 to the Japanese account
in the Bank of England. 1t is believed,
however, that some of this may shortly be
released. The Paris bourse opened quiet.
but closed buoyant on the eastern rumors.
The Berlin market was firm. 1t is still

A mortgage for s1s.OO0,0O0 covering the

which are for $1,000 each, are dated March /,
1897, and are payable March 1. 1947 The
interest upon them is payable in New
York and London semi-annually.
The work of estimating the production
of gold in the world. or even in any one
country, for any year. is never done, and
the director of the mint is constantly re-
vising estimates The latest figures as to
this country for 1896 make total of $751;
0SS,000. The largest production was in CAL
ifornia, SIS, ,235. 900, and the next largest was
that of Colorado $l4911 900. Alaska's total
was only s2,055. 700 but If we can believe
half we hear in regard to the deposits in
that part of the world the figures will be
immensely swollen in the next few years.
The production of the Klondyke district,
of course, is not credited to Alaska as the
territory from which gold has been taken

Dominion of Canada. The worlds produc-
ton of gold for 1896 is now estimated at

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The first fifteen min
utes of the session in wheat was as bad
a quarter of an hour for shorts in wheat
and corn as any that have recently been
experienced. The bull clique got back with
compound force at the people who called
margins on its brokers so heavily Monday.
September wheat opened at from 9S@1 90,
or from 1%@3A higher than it closed yes
terday, and mounted half cent at a time
until ten minutes from the opening 1.031s
was bid, price 81 over the preceding days S
closing. December in the meantime had
reached 96. starting at 94%@95 which quo
tations were 1908 higher than yester-
days close. For few minutes the mar
ket hesitated at those prices. then a de-
cline to SO in September and 94k in Decem-
ber ensued. The business during the next
hour and half was devoid of sensational
features and the heavy trading at the
commencement dwindled into a sputtering

able, or at least possible, removal of the
French import duties on grain, failure of
the potato crop in ireland and elsewhere
together with that which is known and
more that is rumored of the wheat short
ages in European countries, and above all
the conviction that the clique could with
equal ease put wheat to LIS, or 90c per
bushel all contributed to the unsettling
of traders minds, which the early fuc-
tuations indicated. Chicago received 2S5
cars of which only Is were contract. The
quantity inspected out of store was 204, ,507
bushels. The Atlantic port clearances were
again very heavy. being'equal in wheat and
flour to 1900 bushels 653 900 bushels of

pool was very irregular, ranging from IL
to 2$4d above the previous days closing
prices, and resting with net advance for
the day of from 2A to 21ad. Antwerp was
unchanged, but Paris was equal to from !
to 1Ac per bushel higher. One feature of
the market was the small cash business,
the rapid advance in prices having brought
that business to practical standstill New
York wired that Europe accepted very
little wheat offered from this side last
night. September worked down to 9S1z and
December to 93la, but by closing time those
options had recovered to 9S5s and 93M re-

ness in corn, so great, in fact, that 1t was
almost impossible for traders to get into
the pit, once they got out Many faces
familiar in the wheat pit were seen in the
corn crowd and outside business was very
heavy. Oats were comparatively dull The
opening was strong under good buying
orders and comparatively light offerings.
decline followed. due to the break in
wheat and corn. but the market became
firm again under increased outside buying.
Provisions caught some of the grain ex-
citement. though business was only mod
erately active Nothing counted so much
as the news that the potato crop abroad is
very short hogs in foreign countries being
fed on them. A strong live stock market
and the advance in corn were also factors.
