In Wall Street.

New York, July 20-The assertion that the Madrid cabinet had determined upon negotiations for peace was used to advance prices on the stock exchange today, and 1t was rather significant that they held firm in spite of the demonstrated unreliability of the report and the decline of Spanish fours in London and Paris. Measuring of- ficial utterances from Washington regard ing the yellow fever situation and word from the eMtropolitan street railway au- therities regarding advantageous traffic ar engagements removed the principal elements of yesterdays uneasiness. The following crop prospects are scanned with the ut most attention, as the price for our surplus breadstuffs is felt to be the pivot of the situation. The ruling price of cash wheat Is almost on a parity with that of year ago. But at that tim exporters were do- ing hand to mouth business because of what they regarded the prohibitive price of wheat. Today the farmers are holding back the new crop, through feeling or dissatisfaction at the price offered.
 The foreign exchange market IS aiso showing the effects of grain bills coming forward and is heavy in tone and dropping towards the gold import point after net imports of gold for the year about $l0o o,ooo . 0oO New York banks continue to lose to the sub treasury and exchange at Chicago today fell to 20 cents discount. But money continues rather dull and rates for money are quotably lower.
 The demand for Denver and Gulf ISIS on first reorganization prospects continued to- day. and there was a distinct awakening or activity in some of the other speculative bonds which moved so conspicuously last week. Prices in a number of other cases are notably higher. Total sales, S2,6ooooo.
 The new government 3s, when issued were in strong demand to-day, and sloS's was bid for them in Wall street transac- tion was made at $1.O3s4. United States IS and 2s advanced 1 per cent; the old As cou- pon and the 5s registered 4 in the bid price.
 Money on call steady at 1AQ2 per cent; last loan, 1A per cent; prime mercantile pa. per, 31s614 per cent; sterling exchange steady, with actual business in bankers, bills at s4S51a@4. .S5s4 for demand, and S4.S4A @4.s4h for sixty days; posted rates, $4.sod 4S5s and $4.S61k@4S7; commercial bills, $4.SS @4 S31a; silver certificates, 5SAq59a4c; bar silver, 593sc; Mexican dollars, 45Ac; goyern- ment bonds strong, state bonds strong, rail- road bonds steady.

Birmingham, Ala, July 2O.-LiverpooI showed no disposition to trade in futures. The spot sales were 10000 at unchanged prices. The first call here was steady at atout yeslterday's closing, but reports from every section were encouraging, and what little support there was seemed to be with drawn after the opening and the market sold off, recording declines averaging five points.

Birmingham, July 20.-Another day of professionalism in stocks. Early ~trading started covering in sugar which quickly advanced 1 per cent, but was sold on all rallies by the bears, who believe the open- ing of the Arbuckle refinery means cut prices in sugar. Tobacco was then taken up as leader and after advancing two points was neglected and the manipulators took up Metripolitan, running up the shorts to cover and advancing it 8 per cent. from opening. The market is simply in the hands of the cliques' commission houses have few orders but we believe the maket will soon have an upturn which will start new trading.

This coupled with a more liberal movement of new wheat and good rains started early realizing and wheat sold down cent from yesterdays prices, but upon reports of slight frost last night in Dakota, with predictions of more to~ight, the shorts started to cover and wheat steadily advanced to 631a and held within a fraction of this price steadily throughout Cables were lower on Sep- tenlber, but cash showed great strength and July options in this market advanced 2 cents per bushel The market is strictly controlled by weather conditions and for the balance of the month will depend al- most entirely on it. Corn sold off slightly early on good rains, but rallied some on frost predictions, closing firm. Provisions feel the fear of yellow fever but closed firm.

CHICAGO MARKET,ApR 18th.

There was aggressive strength in
all the grain markets to-day.
May wheat sold at 1lO1, with not
much to he had at that figure, while
the top price for July was 87aa. Corn
was even stronger, relatively, than
wheat, May crossing 30 cents. This
was due for the most part to the
enormous foreign demand, which of
late has put short sellers Of corn in a
very unpleasant position. The action
of Congress on the Senate Cuban res
olutions was another factor tending to
general strength, since it indicated
that it is now hardly possible to avert
hostilities with Spain, and the impress
sion is general that in the event of war
prices for all cereals in this country
will advance sharply. Of course the

Thousands of women suffer in this way
and do not recognize the cause, or if they
do understand their condition, neglect it
rather than submit to the obnoxious exarn-
nations and local treatment insisted upon
by the average physician. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is wonderful medi-
cine for women who suffer in this way. 1t
does away with the necessity for these try
ing ordea1s, and may be used in the privacy
of the home. 1t acts directly on the deli
cate organs concerned, and makes them
strong, vigorous and healthy. 1t banlshes
the discomforts of the expectant period and
makes baby's advent easy and almost pain
less. 1t transforms weak, nervous, petulant
invalids into happy wives and mothers
Thousands of women have testified, over
their own signatures, to this fact. The
"Favorite Prescription " may be procured
an who will write to DR.. R. v. Pierce, Buff
falo, NY, may have the advice of an emin-
er1t and skillful specialist without charge.
