NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The market for dry
goods opened the week with the same strong
tone that marked 1t at the close of the
week previous Staple cottons are firm in all
directions with we;l-sustained demand in
all quarters. The activity on the part of
jobbers converters and the cutting up trades
has made additional repleniShments necessary
with stocks in first hands fast becoming de-
pleted. The situation in cotton goods shows
Improvement from every standpoint, with
every indication that still further improve
ment will be made with the advance of the
week. The market today was well attended
for the opening day of the week, with num-
Der of good-sized transactions reported
Coarse colored cottons in the more prominent
markets show continued good results with
stocks fast becoming exhausted, particularly
denims, which are frequently NC higher than
last week. Print cloths continue very firm
on O., the basis of 27sc fer extras; In jobbing
circles buyers were in good attendance for
the opening day of the week.

to Act.
WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-Admiral
Bunce, commander of the New York
navy yard; Commodore Chadwick
chief of the equipment bureau, and
Naval Constructor Dashiel were in con-
ference with Acting Secretary Roose-
Welt at the navy department today con-
sidering in a general way the subject
of dry docks for the naval vessels of
the United States. The conference is
preliminary to the preparation of a
project for dry docks to be submitted
to congress at the next session. The
necessity which compelled the Indiana
to go to Halifax to be locked has
aroused the navy department to the
Importance of having a system of docks
which can be utilized for any of the
war vessels. Several plans at different
naval stations have been proposed, but
none have yet been found satisfactory
Naval officers have urged the import
ance of having a large dock either at
Boston, or Portsmouth, N. H, also at
Norfolk, Va, and at some point on the
gulf, possibly in the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, near Algiers, La, and
another on the Pacific coast. 1t is ex-
pected that the reasons for more docks
and the urgent necessity of two or
more capable of holding the largest
battleships will be set out in the pro-
ject to be submitted to congress by
the navy department.

WHEAT MOVEMENT.
MARK LANE WHEAT.


LONDON, Aug 16-The Mark Lane Ex-
press in its weekly review of the grain sit
uation says: The French wheat harvest
overyield is estimated at 33,O00,0O0 quarters,
though excellent judges say 1t is not so much.
The German yield is expected to be LOCO, 600
quarters below that of 1896. Austria Hungary
will be almost self-supporting, with nothing
to spare for export. Russia reports that her
wheat is somewhat below the average, though
not seriously SO. In conclusion, the Mark
Lane Express notes the curious fact that
England last week exported wheat to France.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL.

NEW YORK, Aug 16.-Evening Posts Lon
don financial cab.egram: The stock markets
opened dull today but recovered later on
calmer views of the Afghan incident. Ameri-
cans were strong. Arbitrage dealers were
short of stock and bought largely. Prices,
however, closed fraction under the best.
Indian affairs, however exaggerated they may
be, have had a bad effect on the market and
have served to attract attention to the extent
of the bull account. Kaffirs have only par
TALLY recovered. Gables have been received
saying that the recommendations of the indus
trial commission have not been approved by
the Volkstraad The Indian rupee loan has
been applied for about twice over. The mini
mum. price was 971a and tenders at SO 1-16
get about 67 per cent of the loan. 1t would
have been more successful but for the Amer
incident. The reports that Hooly has ne
gotlated loan of $4,000, 600 for China are
probably premature so far as the actual
fixing up of the matter is concerned. The
London time money market has risen 3-16
per cent over Saturdays highest rate on
large offerings of American bills for dis
count. Gold has fallen to IT'S lid. Nearly
100000, which had arrived from the Cape,
has not yet been dealt with. From informa-
ton just received | get the impression that
gold may go direct to New York from the
continent soon. The Paris and Berlin mar
kets were steady.
