FINANCIAL REVIEW.

: NEW YORK, July f:-Bradstreets Financial
 Review to-morrow will say: Speculation con :,tinues to. be narrow and professional There has been an enthusiastically strong undertone ln the market this week, and though the pupnc
 has not been a purchaser 1t has not sold stocks London took very little interest in A Arnericans and professional interests here were
 somewhat divided in their attitude. The smaller operators and the boardroom traders were ln- - clined to test the market and to sell stocks
 short while some of the leading interests have
 occupied themselves from time to time by plays of a: certain amount of strength. The in
 dustrials, however have furnished most or the
 activity, and in. that group. as usual. this has most genuine exhibition of the markets under lying bullishness has been supplied by the bond : list, which has been strong and advancing,
 apparently on an investment demand, which
 Is most active in the cheaper and newer bonds of fair quality. 1t has, however been a wait ing market. An expectant feeling as 10 the :outcome:.of the operations Of our forces al
 spanish fleet which is alleged to be en route to the Philippines, and as to the attitude ana +intentions of the German navy at Manlta mas has made itself felt The. completlon or the HdIi year and the prepara tions. for the usual dls-
 butsements have been a factor, while uncer-
 tatnty about. the workings ana erect O. the new. revenue and stamp tax legislation, which
 went into effect yesterday, has contributed powerfully to the. current speculative inactivity,
 all the more SD: because many Of the imposts
 apply directly to stock and money transactions
 Attention has also been to some extent fixed on. the new. Government war loan, though this tendency. has decreased since the rush of sub-
 scrfptlons has decreased, and it has been noted that the money market is unaffected, largely
 owing the arran ngenTents made by the Treas :iIry 7t6' retjort inc amounts received in special
 national bank repositories and thus cbviate any
 heavy Withdrawals of. money from the market Finally the conflicting account of the crops and
 harvest a the West and the growing feeling that, rate cutting hy: the railroads has become dangerous to. the. continuance of earnings has imposed caution upon the bulls regards rail-
 road stocks and caused the. pools which have been operatingH tn the Grangers and other .st ccks to: .suspend Operations.

Australia and Japan, though in the aggregate not large. But contracts for F. eco tons of steel rails have been placed at Chicago, and pending contracts there for struc- tural work are estimated at 5000 tons, while the demand for implement and material is still beyond all precedent and in general it may be said that the markets west of Phila- delphia are remarkably strong, with scarcely any indication of decline in the demand for finished products. Minor metals are quiet. Tin plates are a shade weaker at s so for full Weight American, the corresponding foreign grades growing somewhat stronger

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

The latter around the sidewalk before regular trading com menced and crowded out of sight the decline with which Liverpool started The opening for September at from 6S2s q6Ssc, as compared with 6sAc at the close last night and after a slight reaction to 6SIRc it became difficult to buy much except by bidding up the price, sei. lers being scarce. Some of the crop reports were quite alarming, some sections reporting a total loss. Later 1t was claimed 1t was true as to large sections of crops in the best wheat lands in the south. The market was run by these reports there being nothing else of a decidedly bullish bearish character in the news of the day. Prices continued to advance. until July reached 7719c. a gain of 4iIc ana September advanced Pc, selling at 702.c. There were good many reactions the way up and the trade at times became rather excited. One important reason for strength the great desire of shorts to cover pending the three tainty of crop conditions and the possibility of a wild bulge in the meantime. Speculation noticeably curtailed by the working of the new war tax law. It makes 1t harder for com mission men to execute orders and wider fiic- tuations the result. The following reso- lution in regard to the war revenue provision 1t applies to the brokers and commission men and scalpers was adopted by the board of directors the Board of Trade:
