European Markets

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The Evening
Posts London financial cable says: The
stock markets opened dull today, but re-
covered later on calmer views of the At
CHAN incident. Americans were strong.
Arbitrage dealers were short of stock and
bought largely Prices, however. closed
a fraction under the best. Indian affairs,
however exaggerated they may be. have
had bad effect on the market and have
served to attract the attention to the ex-
tent of the bull account. Kaffirs have only
partially recovered Gables have been re-
ceived saying the recommendations of the
industrial commission have not been ap-
proved by the volksraad. The Indian
rupee loan has been applied for in India
about twice over. The minimum price was
971a, and tenders at 9S 1-16 get about 81 per
cent of the loan. 1t would have been more
successful but for the Ameer incident. The
reports that Hooley has negotiated loan
of e16,000, 900 for China are probably pre-
mature, so far as the actual fixing of the
amount is concerned. The London time
money market has risen S-l6 per cent over
Saturdays highest rate, on large offerings
of American bills for discount. Gold has
fallen to us lid. Nearly 920000 which ar
rived from the Cape has not yet been dealt
with. From information just received l get
the impression that gold may go direct to
New York from the continent soon. The
Paris and Berlin markets were steady.

HIS SUMMER OUTING
He Spent It With Country Relatives
and Didn't Enjoy It

"Going to the country this summer,
Mr.. Grimly?" kindly asked a neighbor
who knows how to make allowance for
Grimly's moods.
"1've been there and back" growled
Grimly. Had an outing that will do
me for ten years. and wasn't gone more
than a week. Wife's relatives have
been at me ever since can remember to
visit them in summer and enjoy the
country. They've swooped down on me
so often that I thought I'd just give them
try. I've got the hives, the skin is
peeling off of my face and hands. there
are five bee stings scattered about over
my person, and I'm lamer than / was
after | tried to master the bicycle. I'm
not going to make the kick a bout drafts
poor food and hard beds. expected all
those discomforts when I went to take
my rest but it's the way they loaded
me down with truck which determine ed
me to hasten home while 1 was alive.
Aunt Hannah had to send a lot of
maple sugar to the children. Grandma
had lot of thick woolen socks and mits
she'd been knitting for us ever since
'S3. Uncle John was bound that he'd
send my wife some new vegetables and
a couple of dozen fresh laid eggs. Lit
tie Bobby put three of his spring pullets
into two-bushel bag and it would have
broken his heart to have refused them.
Cousin Maliss donated a crock of real
butter, and Jennie contributed bouquet
as big as a bandbox. They went to the
depot with me in a body, and when duly
installed in the car looked like {. gre en-
grocer in the midst OF his possessions.
| was red as turkey gobber and every
body laughed at me. A fat woman
stepped on the eggs and jawed me, for a
straight run of twenty minutes. The
chickens got out and flew around cack-
ling wildly, soaring the women and chill
dren to the verge of Mysteries. When
they had escaped after breaking two
windows and wrecked lot of hats, l
gave the porter dollar to help me throw
the truck overheard I'm home for the
summer. DE troit Free Press.

European Wheat

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press, in its weekly review of the grain
situation, says: 1.-THE French wheat har-
vest overyield is estimated at $1,000 900
quarters, though excellent judges say it
is not SO much The German yield is ex-
pected to be 100000 quarters below that
of 1896. Hungary will be almost
Iself-supporting, with nothing to spare for
export. Russia reports their wheat is
somewhat below the average, though not
seriously So" In conclusion the Mark
Lane Express notes the curious fact that
England last week exported wheat to
France.

danger line was reached in several locali-
ties, and nothing could be learned def
nitely confirmatory of Saturdays rumor
concerning the reduction of French duty
which was SO influential in that days mar
ket. Nevertheless there was an almost
unanimous rush of shorts to cover as
soon as the market opened. The start
ing price for September was from So to S511,
compared with 4 at the close of the session
Saturday. 1t touched S434 for an instant
and then started on an excited whirl,
which first carried it up to s6A from that
down again to S424, and once more as high
as s6M, and all that within an hour after
the opening. The rush for cover revived
the talk of September squeeze. One no
ticeable feature was the absence of Sep
tember bull crowd in the pit, the market
receiving but little help from that direc-
ton. Crop reports from the northwest
were almost uniformly bad and the fact
became one of the important factors in
sustaining the market late in the day. The
stocks in regular elevators here are now
2,525, ,000 bushels, or $4,000 bushels less than
they were a week ago. The worlds ship
ments to Europe last week were 1900 900
bushels. compared with 5,035, ,OCO bushels on
the corresponding week the year before.
The quantity on ocean passage increased
2,240, 900 bushels. Liverpool was 11ad higher
to begin with, but closed at an advance for
the day of l penny for spot and 13sd for
September delivery. After the first hour
the market kept jumping about in a nerv-
Gus way on a rather small amount of
business. An order to buy or sell $4,000
would in its execution move the price up
or down Ac per bushel. The price of Sep
tember bobbed up and down a number of
times between S5A and Sc, with the ten
dency in the last hour towards the lower
quotation, S51a being asked at the close.
Trade in corn was heavy enough to keep
brokers fairly busy. The tone of the mar
ket was firm, although elevator people
were free sellers both of September and
December. Oats were more active in a
general way, the buying being commission
houses with outside trade. Prices ruled
fractionally higher with wheat and corn,
there being no independent feature of note.
The amount of business done in the pro-
vision pit was not heavy. Confident firm
ness however, appeared to underlie the
moderate amount of the days speculative
trading.
