New York, July s.-To-day the stock
market must still be dubbed as duh,
though the volume of transactions some
what exceeded that of yesterday. There
was still no marked evidence of outside
interest and the list was by no means
a broad one. although many recently in
active stocks were brought forward into
the active list. There was, however. a
steady and quiet absorption OF the stand
ard railroad stocks without ostentatious
effort to advanc prices. The Vanderbilts
were conspicuous, and the buying. espe-
cially of New York Central, was large ana
confident. Pennsylvania also advanced
sharply. The coalers were an exception to
the strength from the start. not only on
the general depression known to exist In
he anthracite trade, but also on reports
OF deep cuts in the selling price of coal
and the prospects of a conflict OF rates.
In the final hour the bears raided the
coalers for the purpose of unseating the
advancing tendency in the market.
Prospects i'm the group crumbled away
without much opposition, Reading Isl
preferred losing four points, New Jersey
Central three points.
Much was heard of an early peace, ano
even more was made of this by the Lon
don SPECTATORS. There was quite an ur'

day. The offerings numbered 1889 bales,

1T WAS NOT BRISK.
Wool Growers Are Holding Onto Their
Wool for Better Prices.


Great Falls. July s.-The wool market
was not quite so brisk to-day as 1t was
yesterday. Possibly the hot weather
had something TO do with this, as on
such lays both buyers and growers are
inclined to hold back and avoid great
physical exertion. Then h high market
of yesterday makes the growers feel like
holding on to their wool for a better
market still, while the buyers grow a
little more conservative when they
think of the possible comments made by
their houses on the prices.
During the forenoon no wool at all
was sold, and in the afternoon but three
clips were offered. The first. some 1000
pounds, belonged to Andrew Jensen or
Dupuyer. There were six or seven bids
on the lot and il was finally given to r.
w. Thayer of Weston, F~'arnsworth d.
Thayer of Boston at 1855 cents. Jacob
Fey of Craig had 20. 900 pounds OF wool
and was the second man to offer IT..
There were quite a number of bids on
this lot and the highest was that OF
T.. S. Barraclough of koshland & Co.,
Boston. His bid was 1865 cents, and the
wool was sold to him.. The third sale Of
the afternoon was mad by Barney d
Marsh of Shelby Junction to Thayer
Their clip contained $4,000 pounds, and
was somewhat greasy and dirty. al
though the staple was good. 1t brought
l6h cents. Then the buyers, who are to
play ball tomorrow afternoon for the
benefit of Company AS fund, adjourned
for practice, and the days business was
over. A large amount of wool is arriv-
ing to-day and it is likely that there
will be quite a number of sales to-mor-

AN UNSAFE CONDITION.
A Kick Relative tn the Belt Creek Dis

Great Falls. July s.-A Monarch cor
respondent of the Belt Valley Times
says the county roads in that section
and further down Belt creek are in bad
shape. He writes that parties from
Riceville and vicinity complain bitterly
of the condition of the roads in that sec
ton. There has been no work done up
on them this spring. The bridges are in
a horrible condition. As you approach
one below York's there is a gentle per-
pendicular jump of a foot in height. One
of the braces is entirely gone from the
bridge that crosses Riceville, loose rocks
strew the roadway, culverts are washed
out, and where is Jack Williams all this
time? Work is at last begun on the

CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago. July S-For some time past
wheat has had alternating days of weak
ness and strength with as much resu-
larity as an intermittent fever patient.
To-day was no exception. Heavy rains
in the Southwest and the continued light
receipts strengthened prices at the start.
The general returns from the threshing
of wheat as reported from the country to
Chicago commission houses was indics-
tive of a very moderate yield. Added to
his there were a good many apparently
weIl-founded crop damage reports which
started shorts covering. There was not
much wheat for sale and the sharp com
petition advanced prices. The movement
OF new wheat was still small and the de-
mand for old somewhat pressing. Foreign
arkets were easier. July closed lhac
higher and September gained sake.
The strength I'm wheat.dld not help the
price of corn except in the way of assist
ing the bulls to maintain IL around yes
terday's closing prices. The close was
unchanged.
Oats displayed moderate strength In
sympathy with wheat but the close was
unchanged from yesterday.
igher prices for hogs at the yards, a
demand for lard at Liverpool and a good
ash demand started provisions strong
but the market sank into repose on this

The cotton crop looks better and the

The manufacturing works at the North
are quite well employed, much more than

manufacture OF wool hesitates. although
a distinctly better demand has appeared
during the past ten days because prices
at which Western wool Is held are too
high for Eastern markets. and apparently
too high for profitable manufacture. Sales
for the week at the three chief markets
have been only $4,000 pounds. OF which
2 go. 800 pounds were domestic against
1i,4l2.0O pounds last year, OF winch w.
900 pounds were domestic, and s.lls.3Jo
