in we.l Street.

New York, July 14-The stock. market showed a firm resistance to pressure all day, and when the news was received that Santiago had surrendered on our terms a vigorous upward movement set in, which wiped out a large part of the losses in- cured in yesterdays bear raid. The fear of the introduction of yellow fever into this country, if it should gain Q foothold among our forces, had son ethjng to do with yes terday's decline, as did the fears of mili- tary setback. This was indicated by the sharp recovery today in such stocks as Louisville and Nashville and Southern Railroad preferred. There was brief pe- riod Of depression at the opening due to sympathy with London, where the beiief prevailed that the Span.ards would refuse to surrender Santiago, anu. thus necessttate a long siege. The local bears early eVlnced uneaslness, and bought stocks to cover short contracts put out with great conh- dence yesterday Their confidence had been unsettled not only by the strong belief expressed in official circles in Washington that Santiago would surrender; but also by a realization that the favorable effect ot the successful government loan would De met The covering movement was aided by q raid upon the anthracite group, which yielded easily and dragged the mar ket rack to near last nights level, about which 1t drifted very SluBg1Snly until the final upward movements.
 Net gains in most active stocks Were near a point, and in some cases, notably Omaha and Hawaiian. commercial gains exceed points. The entire absorption or the government loan by small subscrlp- lions seems pract .cally assured. There is no doubt that this will cease considerable sums of money hei1 by banks, corporations and syndicates az reserves against bids for large amounts of the bonds. As an object lesson of tae wealth and resources of the country, this subscription of S2oO 00O 900 loan bearing interest below the ruling savings bank rate, is expected to have a striking effect.

Dry Goots.
 New York, July 1.-The market for dry goods Is still a formative one. Actual de- lay results while heavy enough to give a basis for future belief in the market for fall goods are not heavy enough to satisfy sellers. Ther is a sprinkling of buyers in town, but they are not enthusiastic or liberal. The reports from road salesmen are in general, fairly good Mail orders have done much to bring the weeks aver age up to a reasonable figure. Local job bers report a daily business of fair pro- portions. Out of town jobbing houses say that the consuming trade is as lively. Woolen goods men are preparing to show samples and make prices on lightweight goods next week. In staple cottons there is little or no change Print cloths con tinue to sell for July and August delivery. Bids for regulars beyond that time are refused, however. Extras are still quoted at 2c,. and are firm.

Birmingham, July H.-Cables were sse lower, which did not quite show our de- cline. causing our market to open LAG higher, and advanced Ac further on the reports published by the Cincinnati Price Current which reported the yield of wheat still disappointing. The market ruled steady with little dealings throughout the session, which at times were simply stag nant. Just before the close the market worked up 1ae on short covering, but closed around last nights figures. Provisions followed the strength in wheat and closed about points over last night.
