EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-The animation of to- days stock market was far less than that of last Saturday and the net gains on the days transactions were much less striking. The tual signing Of the peace protocol brought no enthusiastic buying but on the other hand it brought no realizing sales, such as are likely to occur on the culmination of an event herald ed and discounted. There was a large and steady demand throughout the short session of the Exchange. which held prices quite firmly throughout the list Active buying in a few stocks conspicuous, especially Northern Pacific which added another point to its price in the course of the day. The grangers were strong and Union Pacific showed ar advancing tendency. The Southern railroads continued somewhat depressed. owing to the yellow fever case reported at town in Louisiana. The mo- tive of the recent selling Of Manhattan was disclosed by the report for the quarter showing a falling of in gross earnings compared with last year of S145 927. The stock was lifted after early depression by the demand tc cover. Very notable advances were shown by the rubber stocks, Tobacco and New York Air Brake. There evidence of heavy liquidation for London account 6 a result of the Anglo Rus sian crisis, and those who sold short yesterday. protesting fears of such a result. bought to cover to-day. The large decrease of s6, 761. .150 In the surpins reserves Of the banks was with out effect. The closing was generally firm only a TeW stocks showing slight recessons from the best. The dealings ID stocks this week rose fully million shares over those of last week, but still almost a million shares below the corresponding week last year. The par value of the bonds sold at the Exchange during the week was. however fully equal to that of last year, and exceeds S21. .0G0, ,000. Business was ex- tremely varied in character and embraced so extensive list of securities that the movement Of special stocks was of little effect In deciding the course of prices. Weakness at some points was without influence others. Where the demand seemed tc continue unabated there was obviously realizing going on. but apparently the profit from sales diverted to other stocks of lower grade which had not yet moved upwards The demand for stocks is undoubt- edly based on general conditions. and the mar ket has been little affected by the special news developments of each day.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Aug 13.-Liverpool quotations in stead of showing any sympathy with yester- days higher prices this side, were a little lower than the latest on the day before That gave the direction to speculation sentiment here at the start First trades in September wheat were at 66$4c down to 6614c against s71sG67kc last nights closing figure. The weather for maturing what still unharvested of the spring wheat crop all that could be desired and reports from the Northwest were far from encoura ging to the longs in the market 4 dis itch from up North said 1t was confidently ex- pected Minneapolis and Duluth would be, in about two weeks. receiving an average of 400 cars a day. In addition to that, about one hour after the opening Minneapolis reported 7c a bushel drop in the price of cash wheat to ar rive Such information and foreshadowings of the future drove from the minds of the traders all concern about the days actual receipts, which as conspcuously short of last years movements as they have been for some time The market was kept from getting radi- cally weak for time by estimates that Chi- cago would only have 100 of wheat Mon free movement of spring wheat and the market wound up very heavy. September closed 19sc lower and December lost 1c.
 Corn was steady for 3eptember December a cent discount until the end The weather was as favorable as could be desired for the recuperation of the sick portion of the crop. September closed unchanged from yester- day and December Is Ac lower
 Shippers were the only buyers to speak or in oats and that grain merely followed the fuc- tuattoDs of corn. September closed 1c lower than yesterdays close.

ASSOCIATED BANKs' STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The New York Finan- cier says this week: The statement ot the Associated Banks of the city of New 4ork for the week ending August 13 shows that the deposits and loans have reached a higher to- tai than has been previously reported by these banks The chief features of the statement are the loss in cash and the continued expansion of loans which have marked the operations of the banks for a considerable period. Deposits however, are gaining at much less rapid ratio. and reserves are decreasing. hard ening condition Of money rates is 10 be eX- uected with these conditions remaining In force and indeed, this result has already been observable in the past week. A forecast ot the money market at this time Is peculiarly dit- ficult but the banks have been able to con siderablv improve their position leaders by their operations of the past month or so. The large cash resources of the West make It unusually problematical to estimate their de- mands on the New York banks, but on the other hand there is every evidence of larger crops than were anticipated some time ago Business is becoming more active and the demand may be heavier than has been looked for The large debt still owing by Europe cannot be discarded from the reckoning and it has yet to be proved how badly Europe needs this
