NEW YORK July 18.-The downward move
ment, in stocks today was checked before
the close and the level of prices brought back
slightly above Saturdays cose. But it can
not be said that the market was sustained
by any buying demand, for its lethargy was
almost complete. The break Of AZ points in
metropolitan Street Railway, due to the pend
Ing suspension Of traffic ON some of It's lines
during reconstruction period, was the main
unsettling factor in the morning Quite
heavy decrease in earnings of the New York
Central for June and the shrinkage in the
east-bound rail freight movement due to
the lively competition Of the lake lines, were
decline was, however, only fractional, and
it recovered IL in the late dealings Buying
of Brooklyn Rapid Transit on increased
earnings was also sustaining factor, and
the recent pressure against the coalers
ceased, those stocks generally showing gains.
All indications point to coming redurd-
ancy in the money market, but no evidsnce
OF an overflow of funds into stocks was mani
lest To-Day. The allotment of the govern
ment bonds it is felt certain, will result in
the release of large sums en- account of re-
5ected subscriptions The usual demand of
interior merchants for money at this period
Is not evident in the New York money mar
ket, the flow OF funds during the past week
having been from the interior to New York.
Lenders Of money, therefore, have little hope
OF getting better rates in the immediate
Renewed attention is called to the fact that
the trade balance in favor of this country
has been $616,0 100000 for the year, while the
net imports of gold have been barely $780,
1000. Making all possible allowance for the
various items In the concealed adverse trade
balance. such as foreign sales Of our securi-
ties, ocean freights, payments of interest
and dividends to foreign holders and foreign
expenditures by American travellers, 1t is GER
tain that an enormous balance in our favor
remains still unliquidated and available on
demand The hesitation in the stock mar
ket Is, therefore difficult to explain.

THE LUMBER TRADE.

The lumber trade appears to be holding up
remarkably well considering the season OF
the year. Lumbermen generally expect a
light trade during july, and they are not
beng disappointed, although the demand,
generally speaking, is better than was anu
cipated. Our advices received this week
from the leading wholesale distributing
points indicate a very fair movement OF
Northern pine to consuming territory. Inc
spring trade has been very satisfactory 10
white pine lumbermen. The demand for the
common grades from the agricultural as
tricts has been very good, and on the whSie
the volume of trade for the first hair OF the
year has exceeded that OF any previaus yer
since 1893. The feature OF the si;uat on al
present is the confidence that all lumber
men have In the future No one is worrying
about the fall trade prices. All expect
demand that will equal the business uons
IL the good times previous to the panic, ar
that prices seem better than have ruleo LOT
the last three or four years.
Perhaps the recent advance IN prices on
northern pine have served to soihewna a.
check the outward movement during the past
ten DAYS At any rate several markets re.
port a slight falling off in the NUMBER OF
orders received, yet at the same time tne
warm summer weather and the fact that
farmers generally throughout the northwest
are busy in the fields, either IN harVest-nS
their crops or in getting ready to 90 SO. a. Al
of these circumstances tend TO decrease the
actual consumption Of lumber in the agri-
cultural sections. In the larger Cues puiiu'
ing continues very fair.
The following is the table OF receipts ara
shipments for the past week ana the Cur
responding week of last year.

and as they are almost to man bearish, the
early market was inclined to sell off. This

SHEEP STATISTICS.

The total number of sheep in the United
States on Jan. l of this year was 81, 656 $50.
The subsequent loss, as estimated by the de-
partment of agriculture, has been 1885 046
sheep in the aggregate, leaving the size of the
flock on April l, 50 GIL ,9l4 sheep. To ascertain
the total yield Tor the present year there are
available only the figures arrived at last
year. in regard to the average weight Of
fleece, which will naturally render the esti-
mate at this time an approximate one
at best. Taking, then, the average weight
of fleece, $50 lbs, the total clip this year will
amount to "a, 1913 05S lbs. Adding to this the
estimated amount of wool pulled from skins,
reckonei at 40 600 lbs, the total product
of wool for the year of 1898 will be 264 1873 05S
lbs. The clip of 1897 was 259, 1853 251 lbs.
On April l of last year the total number
of sheep in the United States was 81, 1884 2S7,
which, when compared with the flock of 1898,
shows an increase this year of SS7, 627 sheep.
OF the total number of 1885 046 sheep that
died during the past winter from all causes,
the greatest loss sustained in Wyoming
where from a flock of 1940021 sheep there
were lost 236, 6S3 or about II per cent AS
compared with the same time in 1897 fifteen
states report this year smaller flocks. OF these
the greatest decrease is noted in the Texas
flock, which has fallen from 2,663S61 last
year to 252O,06S this year, net loss of 49,
1873 sheep. The greatest gain was made in
Montana, where the flock has increased dur
ing the PAST year from 2,S72,9 13 to 3,101, 497
sheep, a net gain of 22S,5S4. Despite Wyo-
ming's great loss in sheep during the past

GENERAL. TRADE CONDITIONS.


Boots and Shoes-Shipments from Dos-
ton in two weeks have been 174,448 cases,
slightly exceeded last year when deliveries
to July LIST had been 10000 smaller, but
larger than in any previous July, and % 900
cases or II per cent larger than in 1892 Re-
tail trade is generally good, and many find
it better than in May, shipments for fail
are just beginning, with orders not yet up 10
expectations and manufacturers are unable
to get the advance of 21a cents generally ask
ed, which they hold less than the increase
in cost resulting from the rise in leather.
Notwithstanding refusal to pay the advance
by many, orders already booked cover pro-
ducuon from eight to ten weeks ahead in
many cases. part Of the works having ac-
eep;ed orders at old prices, though some 9TH
ers have few as yet.
Leather-The market is excessively dull
and prices hinder the exports of spit, while
many manufacturing works are closed
Hides-The Chicago market is very slug
gisn while country hides are unchanged
but selling little.
Wool-The week would have been one of
s..9 s-owest ever known, but for two large
sales one for 100000 Territory at Philadel-
phia, and another of 600 South American
cross bred virtually completed at Boston.
The sales were AL, 200 lbs, and in two weeks
have been 76i1,700, of which 5,521, 200 were
domestic, against "a, 500 last year of which
IL 900 600 were domestic. The Philadelphia
sale was supposed to be at 45c c.ean or I'M
DER. whereas some Boston houses report buy-
ing IN Montana at 1713c, the equivalent OF
4-3c without freight. Strength at the West
ana at London sales prevents much yielding
though there are some concessions. o.
Dry Goods-Business in dry goods has
shown some improvement in volume during
the week, but not to such an extent as to
betoken any change in the general disposition
OF buyers While present all the week in
much increased numbers, the majority of
them have been retailers and the small iob-
i bers. The larger buyers are looked for in
the near future, and with them a much full
er spot demand should make its appearance
Meanwhile the general tone of the market
Goes not undergo any material change. Sell
ers are not any more disposed to push their
stocks upon buyers than before and the gen
eral demand is not sufficient to impart anv
aodluona! hrmness to the situation. The re-
lions in their various business centers Are
all encouraging and suggest that the waiting
policy on the part of sellers is a good one
