New York, Aug. 23.-The stock market

| up to that of last Monday. The great
| moneied interests that were concerned i'm

blocks Of stocks that changed hands and
| by the extensive buying of bonds. There
was one order for any part Of 81 900 900 of

The commission houses which had with

! the latter part OF the week. were out in
/ fun force again IN the market to-day. 1t
| was more a movement of the large dealers
| 10 buy back az the lower level what they
! had sold. The motive OF the abandonment
| OF the bear movement and the rcsump-
ton OF buying, was a growing .ccpticism
| regarding the reports Of reduced spring
| wheat crop IN the northwest The enOr-
| nous liquidation In The wheat market gave
| confirmation TO these doubts. The con-
| tinued rise Of wheat in England and on
| the continent. on the other hand, was con-
tnuing evidence Of the foreign need for
wheat. and gave assurance Of great
freight traffic 10 the seaboard TO transport
grain and back again 20 transport the
merchandise which the farmers profits
would buy.
The strength Of corn and cotton in Lon
don also aided the stock market The fact
that foreign houses sold grain in the mar
kct and hat purchases for cxpor, were
largely curtailcd. did not prevent the
sterling exchange market from weaken
