FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Bradstreets financial review tomorrow will say: Peace negotiations and the better outlook for the corn crop, re- sulting from rains at the West, have brought a change in speculative conditions. The stock market has been broader and shows the pres ence of increased public participation. Prices have tended to advance and though the indus trial securities bore important part in the week movements renewed attention has been paid to the railroad share list and the grangers stocks have resumed their position of leader Governments showing a decided disposition to advance. The per cent war bonds are the object of a decided buying demand and touched I05A, while other classes of United railroad bond list the advances have been marked, an investment demand resulting in a new price record for many of the bonds Of reorganlzed roads like Erie, Atchison and Northern Pacific, while speculative purchases have helped values for the cheap low grade issues. London has not been an important fac tor, and though sentiment there Is favorable, there some foreign selling on the advances here It might be noted that the chief efrect of the peace prospects the market abroad would not cause the rapid advance in the price of Spanish Is, which touched AZ in London while at Madrid the gold premium fell to 67.
 The beginning of gold importations produced little impression, owing to the plethora or money. and far more significance has been at tached by the market to the present outlook for average yield of corn. This Is reflected by the decided strength of the securities of C0rn-calTylng railroads and the reRppearance their resumption by number of companies At the same time the revived activity of the railroad list has been partly at the expense of the industrials. Some of the latter group, lation, showed a disposition to lose part of their advances.

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The stream of specu- iation and investment money continued to pour Into stocks and bonds to-day without interrup- ton. Prices throughout the list were lifted sharply. The profit taking movement which has been drag the leading industrals for several days past was apparently ended to-day, and the bears who sold these stocks early, on the assumption that realizing was still in prog ress were glad to buy back later. The result was to bring the industrals into the general current of the market. which moved upward with a tidal sweep The railroads themselves were unsettled at the opening and most of the leading stocks declined lsdi2 before the upward movement of prices set in. The opening weak ness in sympathy with London, and the quickness with which it was overcome was striking evidence of the independence of the local exchange. There was quite serious dis position to sell both in London and Paris on reported friction between Russia and Great Britain and there was quite urgent selling here for London account, but the supply of Ameri- can securities abroad has been far reduced in the past year that the disposition of foreign holders to buy and sell has much less influence than formerly. The aggressive buying which has been noticed in Wall street for several days quickly turned prices upward and gained in volume the advance. Burlington cOntln- ued to be the leader and scored an extreme ad- vance of 224. The other Grangers came next in point of importance and the Pacific roads and their connections followed. with quite a list Of lesser stocks trailing on to the move n1ent. A marked feature Of the trading was the large individual blocks of stock which were taken at the opening hgures. Sulte a huInper Of the speculative leaders showed single trans actions of 1900 shares or upward at the high prices of the day. There was some disposition to realize in the last hour, but decline of fraction quickly reduced the market to dull- ness. The market was remarkably broad and brought into. activity during the day many long dormant stocks Dealings in bonds were not on as large a scale as yesterday, but were large and well distributed and carried prices vigorously upward all through the list Total sales, A945. 000.

 The goods market is showing hope full features. but orders obtained as yet on the new trade have been moderate The prospect of the price of wool is yet to attain the i'm porting basis. although owing to the past seven months dullness 1t will be much longer than we expect before this point is reached The old wool on hand Is yet check on higher
