THE STOCK MARKET.
A Hardening in Money Rates the
Chief Feature of the Day

Chief Feature OF the Day
New York, Aug 29.-There were a num-
ber of opposing influences IN today's
general situation. In the first place, the
move on the part OF Russia for a general
disarmament by the European powers.
however remote of accomplishment, had
a good effect in the London market Con-
soils advanced and American stocks were
strong. On balance foreign houses bought
quite heavily in this market, though
these operations We're chiefly in connec-
ton with the fortnightly settlement en-
the London Stock Exchange. These cir
cumstances did not avail against the
hardening in money rates that was the
chief feature of the day and d disturbing
effect was also crea ted by the evidence
in the mornings news of the tenacity
with which Democratic politicians South
and West clung TO the old issue and can
didate
The trading in the market was upon
only moderate scale of activity. Aside
from the circumstances noted, there was
nothing in the Gays news of a financial
bearing. The pronounced weakness in
the foreign exchange market was, OF
course, a reflection of the strength OF the
money market
The market opened with many pro-
nounced declines, notably in Burlington
and Quincy, ST. Paul, and Union Pacific.
The declines in these stocks extended 10
over two points. and losses in excess Of
one point were common in the market.
Although there was an ample supply OF
money on call al . per cent and most of
the borrowing was effected at that rate,
the apprehensions of greater stringency
kept the market from rallying materially.
with the course of the day. A further sig
nificant feature of the money market
was the large offerings of loans at per
cent and under for periods of four, five
and six months.

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Strong Up to Noon, With the Ad-
vance Gene at the Close

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Wheat was strong up
to noon, the September up cent, the
December and May up S-4q7-Sc, and COM
paratively light receipts everywhere stir
red up September shorts. The advance
was about all gone at the close. The
annual report by the Hungarian min
lister of agriculture estimates a world s
wheat deficit of g, ,000.G coo bushels There
was decrease on passage of $4,000 bush
els and a decrease in English visible of
$50, 600 bushels. The Northwest receipts
were only GO per cent of last Mondays,
and not much larger than last years. The
receipts at all the primary points were
about 100000 bushels, but the premiums
bid were not as good as Saturdays. The
cash demand was not a sharp one. Car
lot prices, however, were about the same
as Saturday. The Northwest had perfect
weather. Even the firmest deliveries of
Spring wheat are light.

Medals From the Maine

Chairman West of the committee on
medals, explained that he had, while in
Philadelphia yesterday, conferred with a
number of medal manufacturing firms,
and secured a general idea OF what they
would cost. Each officer and private Of
the regiment will be given one OF these
medals of honor, he said and each medal
will be struck from metal remnants of
guns which were on the battleship Maine.
Col Haywood, commaudant of the ma
rne corps, and Commander Pendleton,
who is in charge of the Washington gun
shop at the navy yard, will furnish the
metal for these badges. Mr.. West eX-
planned that no time should be lost in or
dering the medals. for the reason that it
would take several weeks to
strike them off, and as the plan of re-
ception contemplates the presentation of
the souvenirs when the boys are reviw-
ed by the President upon the occasion of
their return they would be finished just
at the proper time if contracted for i'm
medIately.
Upon motion of Gen. Hendricks. s1001
was therefore appropriated for the man
ufacture of the medals and the order Will
probably be given today.
The Time Approaches.
Major Sylvester. in reply to a query
from one of the members of the committee,
stated that Adjt Gen. Corbin had told
him no later than yesterday mat the
District regiment would arrive here in
about two weeks time. and also that
the members of the company would be
given furloughs OF sixty days dura ton
each. after which the regiment would be
mustered out of service
Chairman Edison. of the finance COM
mittee, stated, in discussing the financial
side of the undertaking, that everything
would depend upon the rapidity with
which subscriptions are made. He ex-
planned that IL would be a great relief
to the finance committee. 10 have all sub
scriptons sent in early aud that II this
was done the members of the committee
would have much more time for can
vassing.
The meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock to
meet at the same place at o'clock next
Friday evening. The Ebbitt House will
be the headquarters of the committee.
The various subcommittee will work and
organize themselves properly during the
next few days, and It is expected that by
Friday fun reports will be submitted by
most of them.
The Times Will Receive Subscrip-
tions
The Times, as a member of the finance
committee, Will receive, acknowledge end
forward subscriptions to the Reception
Fund, and It urges all its readers to sub
scribe according TO their means.

The stock market for the first day of
the week was most unsatisfactory TO
those who had believed it would begin
with a boom All the financial writers, or
nearly all. took a Saturdays bank state
ment for their text for Sundays and
Yesterdays articles. The result was that
every body talked higher money rates and
liquidatio yesterday was extensive Room
traders and bear operators sold stocks
nearly all day. The announcement of gold
engaeements in London for export stop
ped the movement for a time, but 1t be-
gan in the afternoon. A higher money
rate is likely this week. 1t is also prooa-
Bile that stocks will not see better prices
than those of last week The general
op;nion. while not bearish, is not TOO
hopeful either. 1t is pointed out that
prices are likely to hang around their
present level for two or three days.
