The circular of Henry Clews, under date or New York. July 30. says: "A firm: tone pre- vails in the stock market, but several factors seem to interfere with its upward movement at this time The big leaders not active, evi- dently preferring a reaction on which 10 accu- rnulate new line of stocks 10 carrying on the advance without interruption. Until they are ready it is useless to calculate upon booming prices; but 1t Is well to observe influences at work which In due season. will overcome all artificial barriers and compel even the DIE leaders to come into line. We refer 10 the null tiplying evidences that the country mas @ aIFea9y entered upon an era of exceptional prosperity The war Is now factor or secondary lnpoF- tance. The controlling influences just now are the encouraging conditions In agriculture anu industry. Upon these our future prosperity chiefly rests. War may prove a stimulus 70 trade, but genuine prosperity was never punt know that the farmers have had one prosperous season and are getting out of debt at an aston ishing rate. Another season Of large crops, fair prices and good exports Is in prospect; cotton pated; but the cost of production has been greatly reduced, so that growers will not sui large fruit crops and a decided improvement in industrial conditions there. In New England the industries. especially textiles. are not in satisfactory shape; but the situation Is improY- ing In the Central West manufacturing of all sorts is in active progress. The production or pig iron during the last six months was 5.e0oqOO in our history. Our foreign trade has resulted in a heavy trade balance in our favor. which promises a large influx of gold, not to speak of the amount likely soon to be received from the KIondike. The extension of our territory also foreshadows a more active foreign trade. Money Is easy: confidence Is rising, and all the chief trade forces seem to be concentrating In the direction of business revival. Under such conditions railroad prosperity must be conttn- uous; and IL Is for such reasons that we have implicit confidence in higher prices for stocks. later On''

CHICAGO. GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Higher Liverpool cables as a result of wet weather throughout Eng land gave Wheat good start here. The do- mestie receipts were still more noticeably small than they were yesterday. That was further reason for strength. and as the figures were made known during the first hour of the ses- sion an addition made to the advance Chicago received only 10S cars, against 136 last year. Business in the pit quite active at times but not much of 1t came from outside of Chicago. There was active demand for Paris were at about 1c bushel reduction. This weakness caused break in the bullishness here, but the market soon revived when 1t be- came rumored around that the quantity sold here for prompt shipment East amounted to 400 O00 bushels. September closed &c higher and December gained 1ec.
 Improved prospects for the Corn crop brought about by plente0us rains weakened Corn. Mod crate selling by the country caused prices to fall off early Later, however, the initial loss was partly recovered buying against puts and a better export demand. The close was 1sc lower for September
 A good shipping demand and considerable Crop damage reports were also an influence September rose 15dAc on the day.
 Provisions furnished a sensation on excessive selling by several of the prominent packing interests At one time pork was off soc, lard Poe and ribs BOG. Covering by shorts to secure received no substantial support and the feel ing remained weak throughout the session Traders generally were mystified by the sud- den denoralization, but several operators. were of the opinion that the good prospects for ending of the war with Spain were responsible September pork declined BOG, lard 15c and ribs
