INITIAL DEALINGS ACTIVE
Speculation in The Stock Market ON
a Broad Basis.
The Closing Dull, With Only Frac.
tiopal Changes Wheat Rules
Lower in All Markets.

New York, Aug. 3O.-The dealings In
the stock market this morning were
on a very broad basis, and the firm
ness which developed at the close of last
time, the broadening of the market is
due itself to the fact that the speculative
interest is very active on both sides. Mon-
day mornings accumulation OF buying
orders for outside account, and i'll special
Instances, clique and manipulative buying
was on large scale. In Consequence, the
superficial. tone of the market for the
standard stocks Were somewhat uncertain,
and the most pronounced strength ap-
peared in q number of the specialties,
which, not having as yet attracted a con.
Siderable outside interest, derived the full
benefit of the manipulation on the long
side.
The tone OF the market became more
irregular with the course of the day, and
the trading lost d good deal of the ami
nation that characterized the initial deaf
ings. The special;ies which received the
most effective support Were Tennessee
Coal and Iron, Pacific Mail, Texas and
Pacific, and Chicago, Indianapolis and
Louisville.
Among the comparatively inactive stocks
q sharp advance took place in oregon
Railway and Navigation, here the buy
ing may be reasonably referred ~ the
eNtraordin airy compar ative increase in
the conpanys earnings. Missouri Pacific
and Chesapeake and Ohio showed the
greatest degree of strength of the active
stocks. The grangers retained tn cir
relative position in respect OF activity. and
in the forenoon they sold at the highes
range OF prices yet established, from which
level fractional reactions took place.
The London market was steady, with
American stocks rejecting increasing inter
est Foreign houses We're fairly active
here on both sides of the account. Ths
fact that the publication of the earnings
OF the railways for the fourth week OF
August viii be delayed on account OF the
last ten days of the month being included
in that period doubtless contributed to the
temerity OF the reactionists. The closing
was very dull and prices generally showed
only fractional changes from that made dt
the opening.
