ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-Today's market
was strong throughout, and the upward
tendency OF prices was practically uninter-
rupted by reactions. Anything like a re-
cession in the bids of stocks elected no
offerings and led to lul in the activity
which soon gave place to renewed buying
and higher level of prices Many mac
tive stocks were sought out and moved
in the market at all notable gains. The
movement even touched some of the ex-
tremely low priced almost discarded issues.
The strength of the market was apparently
based on a renewal of full confidence in the
improving tendency of general business.
Some OF the railroads are making record
earnings and all are showing increased
earnings. Fuller reports of some western
grain-carrying roads show that the total
improvement in their business is due in
large part to the movement of grain east
ward, and this is taken as an important
index of the improvement in general bust
ness. The continued ease in the money
market in view of these evidences of
awakening industrial activity causes sur
prises. but cheap money is an incentive to
speculation. The break in grain was re-
garded in the stock market as proving the
safety and abundance of the grain crops
and melted special activity in the granger
shares. The bond market was very active
and generally higher. Total sales, 81 772-
pUu. government Tours were "a and lives
5s higher.
Wheat lost &c a bushel today, and the
lowest point was about 10 points under the
top notch for the season. There were not
enough influential bulls left in the market
TO make a respectable fight against the
declining tendency They have nearly all
become interested in corn, which every
body in the trade has been educated to be-
lieve is on the eve of a boom. Conse-
quently when Liverpool opened away off
this morning, and followed it up with fur
ther declines on later cables the local
market simply went to pieces. 1t looked
for time as If the bottom had dropped
out, so rapidly did prices slide down hill in
response to the rain of selling orders with
which the brokers bombarded the market
There was practically no support other
than that afforded by little buying
against puts. The December option settled
to Doc on first sales, which was a sheer
break of &c a bushel from last night Then
it skirmished around for a time, buffeted
up and down by conflicting ORDERS but
soon settled into steady decline, which
finally landed it half an hour before the
close at 9S7sc. 1t rallied to 9i7sc where it
left off. Selling was general during the
day.
Local houses and foreign interests threw
over liberal quantities. In all II 500 600
bushels were traded in. At the close No
northern wheat was quoted nominally at
1.O6A and No. red 1.02H, both f. O. b.
af1oat.

reason for abounding confidence and spec
ulative markets for strength. Crop pros
poets are contradictory. as is usual at
such time but it Is noteworthy that none
OF them indicate anything less than an
ample supply of the great staples. The
wool market reflects in greater strength
and further advances in some grades the
heavy buying of woolens which has set
many mills to work night and day and
caused makers of many grades to withdraw
them entirely from the market. But while
the mills have done somewhat more, most
of them held large stocks and the trading
has mainly been speculative between deal
ers.
Hides are again stronger at Chicago,
though packers no longer lead, but country
hides are called scarce, although cattle
receipts at the four chief markets, 151, 400
head. are the largest for the corresponding
week since 1872.
Failures for the week are 223 in the United
States. against 2SS last year, and "a in
Canada, against S3 last year.

Geeong 80 Australian combing has moved
up to 63065; secured English luster woods

A SELF-AMPUTATING TOE
A Disease Common Among Negroes
on the West Coast of Africa

There isn't anything that tickles doctor
SO entirely as to get hold of piece of mu-
tilated humanity. If it is peculiarly revolt
ing in appearance, he will have as many
different kinds of ecstacy over 1t as sum-
mer girl does over a new kind of ice cream.
At the meeting of the Golden Belt Medical
association at Abilene the other day, the
doctors had beatific seance over the great
toe OF negro that had been sent them by
Surgeon McClintock of Topeka
The toe was an exhibit of the effects of
remarkable disease, only ten cases OF
which have ever been reported in the Uni
ted States. A member afflicted with this
disease amputates itself without the aid o.
surgeons knife. The first thing noticed
by the patient is an absence of feeling In
the member. Then a slight furrow forms
around it and steadily deepens until the
member drops off without pain or the loss
Of blood. 1t is common on the west coast
of Africa among the negroes, but 1t has
never been known to assail a white mapI

Bradstreet's Review

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: The general trade situ-
alton continues to improve and aside from
the unnecessarily prolonged strike of the
soft coal miners there is little in sight to
cloud the outlook. The feature the week
is the advance in prices of almost all the
leading staples, beginning with an upward
movement all along the line in iron and
steel. Steel billets are now $150 above
lowest figures; bars, $1.50; rods, SO and
plates 81. Bradstreet's points out that the
,statistical position of wheat is the strong
est known since the United States became
a considerable exporter and that its price,
as well as that for bread is likely to mate
rally exceed the present weeks advance.
Wheat exports are of large volume, aggre-
eating, wheat and flour as wheat, 5,419, 653
bushels for the week. as against 5,312, ,S03
bushels last week, 3,2S1.S55 bushels last
year, and 1,S17,917 bushels two years ago.
With the exception of last week, this
weeks shipments are the largest since the
third week of September, 1898.
There are 210 business failures reported
throughout the United States against 221
last week, 800 year ago and 10 0two years
ago, 1872 three years ago and 1863 In the like
week in 1898.
Cotton, which is up 3-16, reports the
smallest worlds stock for seven years past
at this period.
Total bank clearngs of the principal cit
les of the United States for the week,
81, ,047, ,02S, AL, an increase of 40 per cent as
compared with the corresponding week of
last year.
STOCK REVIEW
NEW YORK, Aug 27-Bradstrep!'s re-
view tomorrow of the stock market will
say: While considerably less active and
influenced by irregular reaction tendencies,
speculation this week has continued to
show continued bullish undertone. Some
of the leading western railway stocks
eased off in price, but there has been an up
ward movement in special Stocks that in
New York Central being the most con-
spicuous. On Friday there was a renewed
assertion of general strength. The halt in
the market is in the main attributed to
reports that the quality of spring wheat is
poor and involves a virtual deficiency in
the yield. while the cold weather in. the
west, with reports that corn was not ma
turing. was regarded as matter of con-
siderable Importance. Throughout the
week. however, the stocks have been pur-
chased freely at declines, and while the
excited public buying of fortnight or so
back has disappeared, the outside interest
in the market is reasonably good and COM
mission houses report the execution of a
satisfactory amount of orders. The very
favorable earnings reported by number
of leading roads for the second and third
weeks of August create a decided bullish
impression. The improvement in business
is also noted with satisfaction, especially
the better tendencies appearing in the
iron and steel industries.

The starting of works, increase in hands

crops, are facts before which all specula-
tive influences have to bow. The week s
dispatches mention sixteen iron works
which have started against one closing

many other branches. while many are pre-
pairing to resume and some have increased
wages. While these things continued

Copper production in July, according to
the statement of Mr. John Stanton, who
acts as statistcian for the companies,
showed a sharp and unexpected decrease
in activity. The total output reported from
the mines of the United States for the
month was 1884 long tons, which was less
than that for July, 1885, by 1851 tons, or
10 per cent; 1t was also less by 1881 tons,
or ILL., per cent than the monthly average
for the first six months of the year. Not
withstanding this reduction in July, the
output of copper in the United States for
the seven months ending with July still
shows large increase over that of any
previous year; the gain was 16, ,O2O tons, or
A.S per cent. as compared with the corre-
spending period in 1896, and 30 $50 tons or
1928 per cent, over 1895.
The United States exports still continue
to be on large scale, and Europe took
from us during the seven months no less
than 1929 tons of copper, or 6S.1 per cent
of our entire production. The exports show
the considerable increase of 9036 tons over
last year. but this was less than the gain
in production by 1884 tons; that is, our home
supplies were greater by that quantity.
nearly all of which seems to have gone into
consumption. as we hear Of very little in
crease in stocks. At the present time there
which must cause q larger demand for
copper here.
