STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 25.-The opening of
the stock market this morning showed
lively reawakening of outside interest
indicated by a large list of commission
house orders which had come into the
brokers offices over night and which were
kept animated in tone most of the morn
ing. There was also heavy buying for
large individual interests and prices of
some stocks topped the years record. The
preferred stocks Of re-organized compa-
MES were quite prominent and the shares
Of Southwestern roads were notably
strong and continued firm all day. The
Changers were leaders in point of activity
and strength, but realizing sales were
heavy at a given point in their advance,
forming a barrier. The course of the
wheat market was watched with sympa-
thetic interest. So far as its decline was
due to refutatiOns of crop damage ru-
mors it helped the stock market. But
when the cable brought no news of a
break in England and a decreased de-
mand for wheat railroad stocks respond
ed with q sympathetic decline. The
falling off in prices of American securi-
ties in London was ignored at the open
ing here, partly because it was attribut-
ed to the settlement which begins to-
morrow. But later in the day the cable
reported the London market heavy on
the tenor of the news from India. Lon
don advices also report that the contin-
ued fall in silver is an unsettling infu-
ence in that market. Silver to-day fell

price A small withdrawal of gold from
the sub-treasury for shipment to Can
ada might be counted as a slightly de-
pressing influence. The continued ease
in the money market is not indicative of
a lively demand for funds from the in
terror such as is looked for in a period
of business revival, and which l call
money at one per cent is an incentive
to speculation, as an index of business
awakening, it is regarded as distinctly
disappointing. At the same time, lend
ers of money are in expectation of an
early demand upon them for interior
trade needs and there has been some adj

LOCAL STOCK MARKET.
GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 24.-The bears had
IN inning in wheat today. The Septem-
Der option at one time sold &c below yes
terday's high point. December beat this
by cent and a quarter. The closing fig
ures show a loss for the day of 514c in
September and size in December. Heavy
and long continued liquidation was the
cause Of the break. The weakness in for
e;gn markets and the break in the coarse
grains were factors. The bull clique
threw over their holdings in corn and
oats and declines of 23sc in corn and 10
&c in oats resulted.
Provisions also suffered, pork declining

irregular and unsettled. Corn was. weak
all day, on general realizing and with
drawal of bull support on heavy receipts,
more favorable weather conditions and
Bradstrccts' reporting an increase in the
United States stocks for the week of
4,312,000 bushels.
Cotton showed n continuance of. the
good undertone previously noted in our
advices. Loverpool made a good re-
Spouse to our advance of yesterday and
prices advanced II for middling there,
and 6-64d. for futures. On this our mar
ket opened up firm and advanced 3: to
4 points for all the options on top. of
last nights prices. This advance
brought out free realizing sales, and I'm
der the pressure the market later re-
acted, selling off II to 13 points for all
options except August, which was very
strong on account of its relation to spot
cotton. The realizing was only natural IN
view of the recent sharp advance. The
selling pressure, however, subsidized
shortly after the noon hour, on the bull.
ish tenor of the weekly government crop
report, and latter the market rallied and
closed steady within 9 to 3 points of last
nights prices. The trading was moder-:
ately active throughout the entire ses-
sion, with the total sales for middling
100000 bales. Spot cotton was firm, at
s cents for middling, with sales of SAB
bales. The pool receipts Appropriated
$500 bales, against 1905 last week and
1896 last year.
To-day's stock market developed con-
siderable irregularity, owing to conflict
ing influences at work in the market.
The principal cause, however, was the
attitude of the foreigners. Their mar
ket at London was weak and unsettled
on the India troubles. They were at
first buyers here ON arbitrage account
against previous sales there, but later
turned heavy sellers and sold upwards
of 10000 shares of stock. This, togeth-
er with liberal selling by room traders
to realize profits and hammering by bears
who worked hard to bring about reac-
ton, filled up the bulls and although they
bought heavily the pressure was too
much for them to overcome. As result
declines of u to 1 per cent were re-
corded in sugar, Louisville and Southern.
Rest of the list sold off fractionally, but
closed steady about last nights prices.
