STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The greater part
of the days proceedings on the floor Of
the stock exchange consisted of "a kind
of fencing for position or to develop
the position of the opposing elements.
The bulls were not in an aggressive mood
and there was not at any time during
the day an active buying demand. The
bulls were in a waiting mood and their
position was rather defensive. The in
yitation to an attack thus afforded was
accepted by the bears and their efforts
to precepitate a decline were unwearied.
They succeeded in keeping prices slightly
below the level Of last nights close dur
ing a large part of the day, after a
higher opening, but hardening tenden-
cy just before the close brought the mar
ket back to a level above last nights
close. The heaviness was caused in
part by talk Of crop damage in the
west and was in larger part due to doubt
as to whether the rise in prices had not
reached a sufficiently high level to fair
ly discount the conditions, present and
prospective, which brought it through
the short selling by the bears and was
supplemented by some profit taking sales
but the volume of stop loss orders dis
lodged was not large. The aim of the
bears always is to reach these stop loss

orders and thus precipitatc a heavy sell
ing movement. But they have to count
also on the buttress effect of conditional
orders to buy at a lower level and on Il
descending scale which umderlie many
of the prominent stocks in the market
A bear raid to be successful must dis
lodge stop loss orders in such quantities
that they cannot be absorbed by these
buying orders. The bears encountered
this obstacle at Il very early stage of the
decline to-day. Some adverse effect was
produced upon prices by the hardening
in the rates of sterling exchange and
there has been some disposition to dis
count the effect of early importations Of
gold in the buying of stocks. The course
Iof exchange to-day was in response to
the hardening of the discount rate in
London and n belief that the bank of
Englands minimum rate of discount
would be raised to-day. Sugar was ac-
lively traded in and the price moved
quite freely over range of more than
two points and its late strength was a
factor in rallyinC the market. The SEN
Sational jump in the wheat market also
had sustaining influence in the late
dealings The southwestern railroad

bile excitement and heavy trading.
Prices advanced ~ to cents per bushcl
here from last nights prices, while at
Chicago prices advanced u for Septem-
her to SS12 and 5N for December to SSIa
cents. This broke the previous high re-
cord. which was reached on last Monday
by : to 3 cents per bushel. The prin-
cpnl cause of the advance was stronger
and higher markets at Liverpool and an
excited market at Paris, where prices
closed equivalent to 5 to 6 cents per
bushcl higher. There was a heavy eX-
port demand even at these advanced
prices and sales of 40 loads were re-
ported taken here and at the outports.
The crowd both here and at Chicago
were caught heavily short and were
forced to cover. Less favorable crop ac-
counts from the spring wheat districts
in the Northwest helped along the ad-
vance. The feature of the trading was
the fact that cash wheat here command
ed one dollar per bushel. That price was
asked for No. /. Northern, while No. >.

PROSPERITY.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 10, 1897.
Thoughtful Americans are satisfied that
conditions nave rarely been so promising for
the return of prosperity.
We have passed through a long period of
depression Liz idatiOn has run its course.
Railroad earnings steadily improve Our
crops are large. There is recognized de-
ticiency in the crops of Europe. We will be
called upon to make enormous exports of
wheat. corn and cotton. Foreign exchange
has dropped sharply.
For weeks traders have decla red that re-
action was due The market declined from
one TO three points this week, but promptly
rec 0vered.
The political situation is such that nothing
adverse to the currency can be cone for three
years
In the great period of revival from 1879 to
1881, when money was dearer, securities sold
much higher
We believe in the destiny of the American
people. We be 1eVe in the future.
Good Sc urities are purchase on all reac-
lions.
Accounts carried on most favorable terms.
Correspondence solicited.
