In Wall Street.


 New York, July 29.-The insignificant changes in most stocks are a fair indication of the neglected conditions of the days market. The prospects of early peace with Spain, the assurance of cheap money and the already secured crops are not sufficient to induce buyers to take stocks. Holders are equally averse to selling at the existing level. Such market naturally invites az gresson by the bear element, but the pro- fessional maneuver of selling short some one stock or group of stocks which is par ticularly vulnerable has again failed to make any notable impression on the gen. eral list,- which continues inactive, appar- ently waiting for business conditions to change either for better or. worse. Dealers in stocks keep one eye perpetually on the grain markt these days. The granger roads reflected today some feeling of relief over reported rains in the corn belts but on the other hand the drift of prices with wheat away from the dollar mark, which was the magic touchstone in all of last of yes- terdays bull market, is one of the unsatis- factory elements in the outlook. It is only in response to foreign requirements that the grain markets and the grangers stock move together, and the future needs Of for eign countries and the dimensions of the foreign crops are not yet sufficiently de- fined to indicate what the market for our surplus grains will amount to, Authorita- tive statements of the worlds reserve Of old wheat show them to be al a very low ebb. But prices abroad reflect the convic- tion of an abundant new crop from foreign wheat producing countries. The dullness or today's stock market was varied only by of hn trial specaltes, particularly the Rubber stock Sugar, Brooklyn Transit, Metropol- tan Street Railway and New York Air Brake Peoples Gas reacted from yester- days advance and Manhattan suffered from realizing on the favorable decision in the dispute over back taxes.

Dry Goods

New York. July 29-The market for dry goods shows an aggregate improvement to- day. The sales to visiting buyers are still restricted but mail orders continue to cut a considerable figure in the daily business. In both cotton and woolen goods the prospects continue good. Print cloths show unusual activity and this has added interest to the trading.
 Jobbers locally report a fairly well sus- tained trade and reports from outside jobbers are also favorable. Staple cot tons show continued quiet results except in brown sheetings and drill for export use. In these demands is marked the price situation being still a good one. Brown goods for domestic markets are not so active Print cloths show more activity ales of 50O00 pieces regulars, September de- livery at %. are reported, and other sales of large quantities are said to have taken place. Odd goods are scarcely as strong as heretofore. Printed fabrics are quiet. and generally featureless. Ginghams strong.

The ease of money and the thirst for invest ment in another circumstance and it might be noted that the Berlin market has again been very active and decidedly strong. The success of the popular gov ernment loan and the failure of the opera tion to disturb the money market has provided a favorable impression both at home and abroad.

At the same time the other classes of governments have risen sharply from A to 11A per cent. in the different issues. This is probably due to the fact that the new bond issue has caused no decided selling of the older ones.

 The Spanish application for peace has been the chief factor in the speculative situation this week. IL created more confident tone and considerably greater activity has been shown, though 1t is mainly of a professional kind, the public being still out of the market, while Lon don has continued inactive. The larga financial interests seem, hcwever to be much better satisfied with the situation not only as regards the peace outlook. but .n relation to the crops and to railroad rates he conflicting crop accounts from the west seem in the view of Wall street rot to disturb the presumption that the grain yield will be very large and afford n heavy exportation. Western railroads have shown a disposition to restore rates and stop cutting. Some action of this kind was certainly rendered necessary by

The Wig propounds a series of lead
ing questions on the proposed new license
law for Cecil, and invites answers. Why
don't that paper stop its hedging on the
whiskey question, and playing non-
committal? 1t is plainly the duty OF
Cecil paper TO answer leading Prohibl-
ton or license question and not invite
somebody else to answer and thus shirk
responsibility. Everybody sees through
the little game.
AS for the Democrat, it is fat-footed for

where to find it every time, but which

The Economic Revolution as Forecast
by Bellamy.

Edward Bellamy, the great expounder
of political socialism, has the following
significant forecast of his twentieth cen
fury reformation, or economic revolution,
in his work Equality"
"But what is there" I said, "about
1873 which has led historians to take it
as their date from which to reckon the
beginning of the Revolution?
Simply the fact that it marked in
rather distinct way the beginning of a
period of economic distress among the
American people, which continued, with
temporary and partial alleviations, until
the overthrow of private capitalism. The
popular discomfort resulting from this
experience was the provoking cause of
from their selfcomplacent dream that the
social problem had been solved or could
be solved by system of democracy linn
tied merely to political forms and set
them to seeking the true solution.
The economic distress beginning at the
last third of the century which was the
direct provocation of the Revolution was
very slight compared with that which
had been the constant lot and ancient
heritage of other nations. 1t represented
merely the first turn or two of the screw
by which capitalism in due time squeezed
dry the masses always and everywhere.
The unexampled space and richness of
their new land had given Americans a
centurys respite from the universal fate.
Those advantages had passed, the respite
was ended, and the time had come when
the people must adapt their necks to the
yoke all peoples before them had worn.
But having grown high-spirited from SO
long an experience of comparative well
fare the Americans resisted the imposi-
ton, and finding mere resistance vain,
ended by making a revolution.
