ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wal
Street

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The market for
stocks today displayed an irregular ten
dency at times, but the net results of the
days trading was q general average gain
extending all through the list. 1t was the
general outside demand in the market
shown by the purchases made by the COM
mission houses that checked the slight sag
ging tendency which developed at some
points in the list. The professional bear
operators, who are constantly watchful
for the reaction which they thought must
come after the long upward course of the
market. made some attempt to take advan-
tage of this saggng tendency and to ex-
tend the weaknesses throughout the list.
But they soon retired from the field. Some
reports Of crop damage gave the ground
for selling movement in the grangers and
southWesterns, but it was short lived. The
commission house buying was sustained
and the general list was supplemented by
the large buying in Individual stocks in
cited by special causes. Consolidated Gas
continued to show the aggressive strength
which has characterized it recently This
strength is believed to be connected with
the approaching declaration of dividend

activity or to show any sympathetic
strength. Chicago Gas, however, continued
its upward course and it's pace made the

and happy as you are. You certainly have
tables and chairs and washstands and
pitchers and a bedstead and sofa, and good
ness knows what in your rooms. l have
nothing of the sort. A nice clean tatami mat
and a quilt is a good enough bed for me.
Then you have so much more trouble at
your meals with your tables and chairs and
crockery and glassware and knives and
| forks and spoons and mustard and pepper
pots. Then you are crowded together in
one room. My meals are served on tray
in my room by a pretty maid. who kneels
before me while eat, and chats and makes
herself interesting, looking after my every
want at the same time. Then you cart
lot of unnecessary baggage around. The
hotel furnishes me with fine silk dressing
gown and nice clean nightrobe, and
can buy toothbrush for a sen or so. Say
what you like, you Europeans are inconve-
nient people. You do not go along the line
of least resistance. You make too much
effort to live. 1t costs you too much In
worry and anxiety, in flesh and blood and
gray matter as WELL p"
Mr.. c. G. X. Billings, who. 1t is said, will
be president of the company into which the
Chicago Gas properties are to be CONSOLE
dated, says that acetylene Is the coming
gas. He says: 1T am satisfied, from tests
made by my company that 1t is practical
BILE to use acetylene. 1t can be used as an
enricher. A small percentage of acetylene
injected into our common gas will increase
Its Illuminating power wonderfully, and
that is one of the possibilities of the fu-
ture." Underwriters. however, still fight
shy Of 1t in any form.
Many complaints are reaching the post
office department Of losses of contents of
registered letters, which, an investigation
shows, were caused by the poor quality of
envelopes used. The postal authorities are
making efforts to remedy this defect. Post
masters have been specially instructed to
require stronger envelopes, when the let
ters presented for registry give evidence of
containing coin or bulky matter, than
would be demanded ordinarily.
The most reliable cables from abroad
show that Germany is the only country
that will raise an average wheat crop this
year. There are heavy shortages in Rus
sa, Hungary, the Danubian countries
France and the United Kingdom. Argen-
tina is importing wheat these days.
Agents of the Standard Oil company are
reported as having made contracts with
industrial concerns in Chicago to use oil for
fuel, displacing 200 cars of Indiana bitumin-
Gus coal day. Oil is cheaper now than
at the time of the last miners strike.
Agents are demonstrating to manufacture
ers that they can make steam at less cost
by the use of oil brought through pipes
from Indiana to Chicago than by the use
of coal at the prices they have been pay
ing. and without interruption caused by
strikes

National Finances

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The monthly
statement of the comptroller of the cur
rency shows that the total circulation of
national bank notes on July 81, 1897, was
S230, 75S,936, an increase, as compared with
July 81, 1896, of $4, SIG, ,4S1, and a decrease
as compared with June 80, 1897, of $597, 100.
The circulation based on United States
bonds was s206. 49S, 1885, an increase for the
year of 1895, 452 and decrease for the month
of $1S1, 1882.
The circulation secured by lawful money
amounted to $24, $50, an increase for the
year of $4921,029, and decrese for the
month of $4O6,049. The amount of regis
tered United States bonds on deposit to Sc
cure the circulating notes was 1920 III, 300,
and to secure public deposits $16, 7S0, 500.
The monthly statement issued by the
director of the mint shows that during
July, 1897 the coinage executed at the
United States mints amounted to $500, $50
as follows: Gold, 1897 000 silver $26O 600;
fractional coins, S23, $50.
No standard silver dollars were coined
1t is stated, however, that there is no
significance in this. All of the mints were
closed from fifteen to twenty days during
July for repairs to machinery and the an
nual overhauling, and in consequence the
coinage was unusually light. In eXplana-
ton of the fact that no standard dollars
were coined, it was said that the supply
on hand is sufficient for all needs, and
further that the stock of minor coins has
run very low In order to meet the present
and prospective demands of trade, the
mints were occupied in coinage of SUBJ
sidiary silver and probably would so con-
tinue through the month of August. In
addition there has accumulated a large
stock of uncurrent subsidiary silver which
must be recoined as promptly as possible
During the month of August the large
accumulation of gold bullion at San Fran
cisco. which now amounts to about $4 500, =
900, will be worked off as rapidly as TIE
capacity of the mint will permit The
coinage of standard silver dollars probably
will be resumed about September 1st.

Los Angeles, Aug. 2. 1897.


The comparative figures of the real estate
transactions of the past month of July in
oicate that the business is well sustained
and the fact that the releases of mortgages
have been considerably in excess of the
total of mortgages recorded during the
months of June and July also affords sure
indication of the prevailing business ten
dency.
The total amount of transfers is not al
together safe guide for the reason that
a large number of transfers go upon the
record with q nominal consideration ex-
pressed, on account Of the desire of the
parties to conceal the true nature Of their
transactions.
But with regard to mortgages and re-
leases, the true amount appears of neces-
sity, and the proportion between the two
gives perhaps the best indication OF the
course of business.
We give below the comparative figures
for transfers, mortgages and releases for
the month Of July in the years 1857 for
reference.
