THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York July 19.--Midsummer dull
ness was the characteristic of the
stock market today. The bears
amongst the small room traders took
advantage of the dullness to hammer
at the list here and there. They sold
down Metropolitan Street railway with
some confidence. Prices of railroad
stocks are now from to 10 points
higher than they were year ago, but
in the meantime dividend rates have
in many cases been increased and ex-
ira dividends disbursed, and the rail-
road companies are making extensive
preparations to handle a large grain
and merchandise trade during the COM
ing fall and winter The situation in
the stock market seems to hinge large
ly upon the price of wheat or rather
upon the grain movement, which is
held back by the failure of wheat to
advance. Until reliable estimates can
be made of the worlds new crop Of
wheat and the worlds consequent need
for our surplus products speculation
seems likely to halt. The total sales
were 115,S00 shares.
