REVIEW OF nHE STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, N. Y, sept 3.-Bradstreet's Re-
view of the stock market tomorrow will say ::
Stock prices have continued TO advance this week
and the trading has been upon an exceedingly
large scale. The market has been at times excited
and while manipulation by bull leaders and
cIiques ia apparent there has also been growth of
pupIc participation.
The marke. was Influenced by denfals that flere
is any widespread serious damage To spring
wheat and by reports minimizing the results of
fIUst in the belt
The " IS railroads stated to be over
burdened with grain freight and the business has
spread to trunk-line roads and those of the South
and Southwest- The Improvement in the L. on
trade Is considered most i'm factor for the
railroads, while the expected settlement o. the
soft-coal miners strike will remove the only dis
turbIng circumstances of Importance RalIroad

Low priced securities nave been the object of con-
siderable attention and some puying. On Friday

display ed late in the session, Liverpool clos

@l7S Antwerp was unchanged
Trade in corn was less active, and the volume
of business much smaller. The markes eased of
near the close expectations of heavy receipts
early next week, the decrease being accelerated
by thu late slump in wheat
At the opening the oats market was weak In
common with corn. Tnis feetng was changed to
firmness later, only 10 grow weak again toward
the close.
Trade quite active in provisions during the
