DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, July 16.-The week closes
with well sustained buying of a tentatiye
description by buyers in the dry goodS
market and fair mail orders in pearly all
divisions of the dry goods market Cotton
goods of all descriptions are quiet. staple
-cottons have shown little actual dairy
sales. Export goods have made fair
showing during the week and exporters
manifested continued interest in the mar
ket. Coarse colored cottons are quiet
though firm. Flannels and blankets snow
satisfactory results. Printed goods snow
no change in any grade. FAN fancies are
the subject of good average mali oruers-
Staples are featureless. Robes, draper
les. furnitures twills. ehambrays ana the
like are in good steady demand. PRINTED
mapped fabrics are ac1ve.
Bradstreets.
Business continues quiet, the market
having not as vet recovered from the
midsummer stiffness, but preparations are
quiet and the coarser goods ore rather
easier, but hardly enough business is 90
ing at present to establish quotations..
The reduction Of production - Fail River
mills is reducing stocks of printcloths
somewhat, and that market IS steaGy.
Printed fabrics are being opened IN spring
STYLES to some extent and are attracting
attention. The market for singhams holos
steady. Dress Woolens are slow ooth az
first and second hands, but the small rail-
orders placed thus far must have con-
siderable effect on stocks to oner When
the demand does start. Mems wear wool
trade will soon be generally shown. Some
mills have already begun to snow spring
styles in worsteds at slightly easier
prices.

Chicago, July 16.-Decided strength
in corn prevented decline in wheat
to-day. July wheat left off 1Ac higher
and September as@1ac lower. Corn
gained 1A@5sc, and oats declined 40
Nc. Pork lost 2R@5c and ribs 21ac.
Lard closed 21ac higher
The increasing receipts of the new
crop and excellent weather for harvest
ing and threshing, together with dis
appointing cables started wheat weak
The decline was checked by the
strength developed in corn during the
first fifteen minutes. Every time the
wheat market attempted to start down
ward en- its own account, something
would happen in corn to make it for
get its troubles and join the improving
fortunes Of its now lively neighbor.
September wheat had worked down to
&c about thirty minutes before the
close, but just then corn made It's most
telling advance and wheat responded
by half cent bushel recovery. The
demand for CARROTS Of cash wheat was
slow and prices were shaded. Chicago
received 70 carloads, of which II were
new. Minneapolis and Duluth together
received IA cars, compared with 315 the
corresponding day of the year before.
The days clearances of wheat and -four
from Atlantic ports were equal to AGO.

worlds shipments Of wheat and -four

to 73a4c at the closing figure. Septem

declined to 5Sc, rose to C712c, then re-
acted to 67A@67Ac bid at the close.
Sentiment In corn was stimulated by
the continued dry weather. Prices
started rather easier than at the close
yesterday and when September had de-
clined to 33c a good deal was for sale
on stop loss orders. There were plenty
Cf buyers, however, around that price
and after absorbing all the offerings the
demand was still unsatisfed and the
price had a lively advance to 1910
535sc for September. There was a re-
action later on realizing Of profits, but
the weakness did not last long and was
more than recovered on influential buy
ing by the bull leaders. September
started unchanged to Ac lower at 1875
@333sc, declined to 327@33c, up TO
331a @335sc, down to 1890, recovered
to SAC, and settled back to SO Is @34c
asked at the close.
Oats followed corn but did not dis
play nearly as much strength as its
leader. There was good buying early
and September rose to zoe, but offerings
were so liberal at this price that the
market reacted. September started &c
higher at 19A@197sc, advanced to zoe,
reacted to 1880, then rallied to 1880
at the close.
Higher prices for hogs at the yards
and a fair demand started provisions
strong The early advance was more
than lost on general selling by pack
ers. September opened 212c higher at
s10.0711, declined to 1895, then rose to
$1,000 at the close. The range in lard
and ribs was inconsequential.
Estimated receipts for Monday are:
Wheat, 10 cars: corn, 400 cars; oats,
IT'S cars; hogs, 10000 head.

FINANCE and TRADE.

Stocks-Wall street apparently re-
NAMED unconvinced to-day that val
ues of securities had been increased by
the capitulation of Santiago, and prices
steadily refused to advance in face or
that event. The upward tendency OF
Americans in London was viewed with
apathy and the few advanced at the
opening here were not up TO the London
parity. The accumulated orders in
commission houses were of very small
volume, the outside public being ap-
parently taken up with other interests
than speculation in stocks. The bears
were confident and progressive and
were prompt to take advantage of the
absence of buying demand to attack the
market Sugar was the first point of
attack and the price yielded quite read
lily, but only small quantities Of stock
lwere dislodged by the decline. The
weakness of the coalers, which had per
sisted all week, continued a marked
feature. There is no doubt there has
been liquidation of long stock in these
companies on account Of accumulated
troubles Of trade. There is but a slug
gish demand for even the curtailed out
put, and the companies find themselves
ct odds over the maintenance Of prices
and division of territory. The plans
for the construction Of new road
from the anthracite region to tidewater
had further unsettling effect Della
ware & Hudson was easily forced down
2h per cent, and Reading first prefer
red and New Jersey Central also suf-
fered material declines. The bears
were also busy with Manhattan. There
was an obvious increase in the short
account and no apparent effort to cover
it over Sunday. The bank statement
is not readily analysed. The decrease
in cash of $4,049, 900 is practically all
accounted for by the gains of the sub
treasury during the week on account
of the bond subscriptions. The gov
ernment's gain on this account are not
reflected in the deposit average of the
banks, as was the case last week. The
loan expansion is considerably cur
tailed but still reflects a good business
situation. The legal reserve require
ment is very little changed by reason
of the small decrease in deposits, so
that the decline in cash is almost all
reflected in the decrease of surplus
The government crop report caused
some depression, owing to declines in
condition compared with the previous
month in spite of high average COM
pared with former years and an esti-
mated crop exceeding 600,000,000 BUSH
els of wheat. The hesitation of the
stock market is due in no small pa /
to the enormous exports and the high
prices Of last year. with which COM
parsons for this year will have to be
made.

FIVE HUNDRED .ABLE-BoDIED CHIPPE-
WAS READY TO GO TO THE FRONT.

In the event Of war being declared
between the United States and Spain.
it is likely that one OF tile most
formidable regiments In the service Of
Uncle Sam will be one composed ex-
clusiyely OF Chippewa Indians, and
led by that intrepid veteran, Louis
Bechc, who was, known during tho
War OF the Rebellion by the appella-
tion Of "Powder.facc Lou"
Bcche is a full-bloOded Chippewa
Indian nearly SO years old now, and
for the past 30 years has lived at the
head OF Lake Superior In Wisconsin
In the good will Of Indians and pale
faces alike. Bechc promises to raise d
volunteer regiment to go on the war;

the Lake Superior Chippcwas, Who
look upon him as sort Of chief, and
says that not fewer than 500 able.

Notwithstanding h!s advanced age,

which the patriotic Indian addressed
to President Mckinley few days ago,
and which was approved by a council
OF Chippewas held ut White Birch,
Wisconsin: ii,
"For myself, and by tie authority
vested IN the by my people, hereby
tender to the government Of the
United States the services Of 500 able.
bodied Indians, who will enlist as
volunteers In the event Of war being
declared with any foreign nation.
The only condition imposed by this
tender Is that the soldiers so vOlun-
tecrIng he formed into one regiment
and not distributed throughout the
entire army. 1t is desired by MY fol:
lowers that colonel OF the regiment
be selected from their number, but as
this offer Is inspired by patriotism
and not by the desire to gain notOrity
or laurcls, l am pleased to be able to
state that these 500 men are willing to
fight under the leadership of whoInso-
ever the government may detail for
such office. l think l may safely
state, after conversing with soihe OF
the leading Chippewas of neighborlng
tribes, that fully one thousand addi.

POINTS ABOUT SPAIN.

The Chicago Times Herald has com
piled the following facts about Spain:
1t is interesting to know that the
total population of Spain is 1855, 1923.
Many people without looking up the
matter would say at a guess that
Spain's population was 36,O0O,OOO, or
40,OOO0OO But it Is in realty not 49,,
100000. Spain has an area OF l97,67O
square miles. Tlic area OF France is
only a few Thousand squatc miles
greater, and yet France has popula-
tion OF very nearly 4O,OOO,OOO. Texas
would have 1865 square miles left
over in comparison. The States Of
Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and
Alabama have more population to-.
gether than has Spain, aud are I'M
mcnsely more wealthy. These States
could borrow enough money, with
their whole field Of commodities, men
and capital behind the loan, to pay of
at one coup the whole national debt
OF Spain. They could raise, pay and
maintain 4 bigger army than Spain
could. Their natural resources could
outlast Spain's ten to one. Their
steam puwer Is infinitely greater, aud
as man power can always be guaged
by steam power you can ifhagine the
difference. These four States could
exist II scquestrated from all the rest
OF the world. Spain could hardly lfv6
a day.
She has steadily shrunk and shrivel.

all she has left is Cuba. The Philip
