NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 30.-The continued dull ness of the stock market to-day justified the judgment of the members of the Stock EX- change that it hardly worth while To keep :. open for Saturdays half days trading preced- ing Mondays holiday. A great part of to-day's s business consisted of closing up and evening up old contracts preparatory to the three days cessation of trading. This dullness in the mar ket in face Of the actual existence of war is in striking contrast to the extreme nervousness which dictated the abolition of the usual Stock Exchange holiday on Good Friday last. when there was daily expectation of the present at tenton of the report of the Maine disaster to Congress and outbreak of host1ities against Spain. Stock Exchange members then insisted upon holding a session to afford opportunity to sell stocks in the fear of what has now actually come to pass, and which, having come to pass, finds prices at ar. extremely high level, firmly maintained Dull as to-day s market was. the day for stocks clearly exceeded the supply and there was a quiet absorption of securities. through a widely extended list. Busi- ness continued. largely professional, but there was some commission house business done, the outside buying being attributed to Western sources and; being. especially manifest in the grangers in sympathy withtthe improved tone of the Wheat market. Sugar continued its ad- vance, but lost 1t before the day closed, Peo- pie S Gas was up at one time 215 points and Brooklyn.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO June 30. = Perfect weather throughout the winter wheat belt so favorable for the continuance of harvesting and thresh- ing operations gave wheat appearance of onvalescence from the bull fever that ragged in the pit the latter half of the session yestef day. Those who thus diagnosed the opening conditions were unskilled in the symptoms of that variable malady. In fifteen minutes the fever had again reached the stage It had at tained the day before and In another hour nothing could be heard but shouts for wheat and cries of ruined crops. September started slightly under yesterdays close, but it very quickly began an upward movement that reached great dimensions both in the volume of the transactions and the extent of the ad- vance. Shorts who had been congratulating themselves over the reaction in prices at the start became uneasy when the price of Sep oughly alarmed when it got above 69Ac. and panic stricken when 1t climbing from 6912c to 69 7sc July in the same time had advanced from 72a.c. the opening price. to TAG The crop reports emanating from people in the trade in various Western cities. were of an ex aggerated type regarding the amount Of dam age done by rust and bugs. some of them sug- gestive of an actual crop failure. The ad- vance was all lost on reports from sources con- versant with the broad general features of the crop over the entire country, which indicated crop of unusual magnitude after all allowance was made for heavy damage in good many localities. The Cincinnati Price Current sug- gested yield fully as large in 1891. when 1t was 61i.7S0O0O bushels. and the unused sur plus of that crop weighed on the markets here and abroad for two years The restoration of nored here. At the close July showed a loss of Ac and September Sc.
 Brilliant weather and the absence of spring demand made traders bearish as a rule in corn. July closed Ac lower. -t
 Continued covering by shorts. rainy weather predictions. unfavorable crop reports and the rally in corn advanced oats. The early grain was all lost in sympathy with the drop in other grains. July closed with a loss of 13Qtsc
 The feeling in provisions was bearish on large receipts of hogs and decline in prices at the yards. Pork left of 212c lower. lard and ribs
