NEW YORK, July 22-Bradstreets Ffnan- cial Review tomorrow will say: This has been speculatively, extremely dull week The market for several days has been reduced to dimensions of less than 15000o shares day Commission business has been at a standstill and the operations of the professional element large and small. have been on a restricted scale. It has been, in short, a case of mid summer dulness of the most pronounced kind The news has been less effective than ever, so far as the spirit of speculation is concerned, though at the beginning of the week there was some accession of bearishness on the reports concerning yellow fever among the troops in Florida and Cuba. while the idea that Spain would for peace, and the allegation that Germany had assumed a satisfactory attitude in regard to our operations in the Philippines had a share in creating the stronger undertone which finally asserted itself The market was dull and heavy in the early part Of the week but on Wednesday it became more firm in tone. with slight advances in the general list and some more marked appreciation in some of the industrials. This in measure founded on the drift of the war developments, but it would have seemed to have grown out of the favorable impression by the reports of the crops and the harvest: by the reported success of the efforts to restore and maintain railroad rates, in view of the large tonnage in sight for the autumn months, and by the weakening of foreign exchange rates, mainly on prospective large foreign purchases of our products. These as well as the indications of active autumnal trade and the aoundance or capital in the country, have apparently pro duced a more confident temper among large financial interests though the absence of any public speculative participation is bar to pro gress in the direction of manipulation for higher prices Current earnings have also made fla vorable comparisons with the results Of last year. which tends to check active speculation in railroad properties, though 1t is understood that preparations are being made for active traffic on a large scale as soon as the present crops begin to move. While the feeling of the professional element, which at present monop- olizes the market, is bearish for the moment, there is an underlying sentiment to the CT feet that prices are likely to improve in the future.

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. July 22.-The stock market continued in the hands of the small room traders to-day. who dealt mostly in industrial speciaties. They advanced the prices of these early and this held up the standard railroad stocks Realizing in the specaties later in the day caused a sympathetic decline. in the rail- roads. carrying prices in many cases slightly below yesterdays close. Except where stocks were influenced by individual cases. the total change in prices was narrow and without sig nificance. The dullness may be quite equally interpreted as indicating a disnclination to buy at the present level or as an unwilling ness to sell. The future of the international trade situation is still obscure that specu- lators not ready to commit themselves. Very little light was thrown on the probabili- ties by the days grain markets, which were not very active and were hesitating in tone. There was a weakness in the Continental grain market and there selling for for eign account. indicating the opinion that for eign crops as well as our own are likely to sure of funds seeking investment, but they manifested themselves in bonds rather than in ernment bonds which traded in on the Stock Exchange when issued" had favor able sympathetic effect all through the market. This bond sold to 1Oi&s, the last sale being at that figure. Bids were for small well other Government bonds called sympa- thetic. The advantages of the issue for purposes of circulation make keen demand Tor them from the banks, though the present prospective cheapness of money tended to di- mlnish their value for this purpose. Railroad mortgages were aUsoroed on a large scale to- day. The well-secured bonds of reorganized roads whose value under reorganization has been clearly fixed were the favorites. There was also more demand for the more specula- tive issues of the roads still to be reorganized or whose payments of interest are contingent on earnings. The plentitude of money also found reflection in Wall street in talk of syn dicates preparing for financial ventures in Eastern Cuba. Time loans were made for six months at the rate of per cent and sterling exchange continued heavy under offering of grain bills. London also bought stocks here in spite of a stiffening Of the London discount rate in sympathy with the fall of London ex- Dar value, s. 645, GOO.

HAY AND FEEDSTUFFS.

The Hay market seems to be getting estab- lshed. The heavy consumers. who have been holding off so long waiting for break, have apparently become tired and have started in to lay in their stocks. The first large buyer opened the ball Thursday and the others will probably fall In. as the heavy receipts of the past two or three days have not depressed values though the feeling Is naturally easy. Prices for all kinds now well defined, ex- cept for fine wheat and nobody seems to know exactly what that is worth as there Is little or coming in. It will probably be very scarce this year, as the district that produces 1t has a very short crop. Dealers quote 1t all the way from s1S6519 50, but quotations probably rep resent a fair medium between the extremes. It is the general opinion that prices will stay about where they are, with occasional huctua- tions, for some little time

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Wheat started a trife higher and light on Argentine shipments and the slow movement of the new crop. The Liv erpool market showed little change. which, considering the weakness here yesterday, was deemed encouraging. Strength in corn and hrmness of spot wheat sustained the specu- lative wheat futures for while. Later, how ever the general weakness abroad and the near approach of new wheat deliveries in Flu rope started some selling here. This resulted in steady decline until the early advance was more than lost Receipts at Chicago were sixty cars The total of the primary Western receipts 1000 bushels. Exports from the Atlantic ports equal in wheat and flour to 151 900 bushels. Minnea polls and Duluth stocks of wheat were estimated to show de- crease for the week of l. 400 GOO bushels and the visible increased 70s.0O0 bushels.
