Special Dispatch to the Intelligencsr.
NEW YORK. August T.-The period
OF summer recreation Is now nearing It's
close. and from this time forward the
ranks of Wall street operators win be
reinforced by the return of absentees.
1t would seem that they may be safely
expected to resume operations only
with buoyant expectations. During
their two months Of absence. the whole
drift Of AFFAIRS, both in finance and
trade, has been towards the mainten-
ance Of an active bull campaign during
the fall months. The activity of our
industries far exceeds anything ever
witnessed in the past; nor is there any
where an indication Of impending over
production nor of reactlonary tenden-
cy, and what Is still more important,
producers have now q guaranty they
never before had, in the rapid growth
OF their ability to command foreign
outlets for any possible surplus of sup
ply In the home markets. At the be-
ginning of the summer there were some
uncertainties In the situation which
produced a degree of heBltancy in the
securities market, and made operators
the more willing to take a breathing
spell after several successive months Of
extraordinary excitement Those OBJ
stacles have now disappeared. The
crops, taking them as a whole. are
more than a good average. Our grain
market may be expected to receive the
stimulus of another season Of short
crops in other countries; and, Judging
from the present temper Of business on
the produce exchange, 1t seems possible
that while the quantity of our exporta-
BILE surplus of cereals may not fully
equal that Of the last two seasons, yet
their aggregate value may easily ap-
proximate that OF either of those years.
So that appearances indicate the prob
ability Of a continuance of the re-
markable creditor foreign balances that
have marked the fiscal years 1878 and
1855. These are prospects the Inn
portance Of which 1t is not easy to ex-
aggerate.

Again, the money market has taken
course much more favorable than was
feared few weeks ago. Those who
have put much reliance upon the large
ness OF the reserves held by the banks
Of the interior have been Justified by
the current drift Of the internal
exchanges. At a time when money is
usually flowing from the metropolitan
hanks to their country correspondents,
with a consequent depletion Of the re-
serves we find the surplus OF reserves
steadily rising. Those most closely
intimate with the facts Of the banking
situation have the least mlsgiving about
any possibility of any approach to real
stringency during the remaining six
weeks during which the domestic ex-
changes are apt to rule against New
York. There is every reason to believe
that the local banks hold both the for
eIgn and the home exchanges well in
their hands, and that while they will
raise no obstacle to good rates for
money, yet they will steer the market
clear Of positive stringeney.
Under these circumstances. and In
view OF the still Increasing earnings of
the railroads, 1t seems highly probable
that the market for securities will hence
torward be borne along by strong bull
currents, and that the effects OF that
tendency may soon begin to appear.

The past week witnessed several sharp
attacks upon values. Results were any
thing but encouraging to the bear side
Of the market. Two or three Of the
active shares were singled out and
more or less liquidation induced by the
circulation Of doubts and sensational
predictions Of lower prices. Such shall
low tricks, however, were soon exposed
and there was no real interruption to
the favorable conditions and news
which are now influencing values. No
change was made in the Bank OF Eng
land rate OF discount, the reserve
standing at about the same point as
year ago. London has apparently
been more active buyer OF American
railroad shares; the market there show
ing considerable excitement at times
but nus far there has been no cores
pondlng increase in the supply OF secur-
ity bills in the foreign exchange mar
ket; so 1t is uncertain whether the buy
ing in London was on foreign or Amer
lean account. European financial mar
kets were somewhat unsettled by the
Transvaal and Dreyfus AFFAIRS, but
apart from these influences there Is
nothing untavorable to this market In
the foreign situation. As we have said
previously. Berlin is n point that Will
bear watching, but there are no serious
slgus Of danger there yet in view

Very prosperous conditions continue
throughout the land. and the wave nd
yaEcgs rather than recedes, with bright
prospects ahead. A larger number OF
working men are employed to-day on
terms satisfactory to themselves and
their employers than ever before in
the national history. Discomfort Is mo-
where iusunably to he found. 1t Is
true grievances creep out occasionally
here and there. but they are not Of SER
ious consequence. The demand has
fairly caught up to the supply in every
thing There is little selling ahead.
The business OF the country Is on le-
CLIMATE basis and devoid OF boom.
which is the best evidence of its sub
stantial and lasting character. Now
that the crops are assured. und the
money scare mas passed over, the lmpe-
tus to push business ahead can be rolled
upon for the balance OF this year Mt
least, thereby making II the best rec
ord year ever experienced in business
circles.

The Boy.

At an examination in a certain
school for girls an essay on ''boys" was
ordered written, and this was one of the
compositions:
The boy is not an animal, yet he
can be heard to a considerable dis
lance. When a boy hollers he opens
his mouth like a frogs. but girls hold
their tongues till they are spoke to, and
they answer respectable and tell just
how it was. A boy thinks he is clever
because he can wade where it is deep,
but God made the dry land for every
living thing, and rested On the seventh
day, When the boy grows up he is a
husband and stays out nights, but the
grew up girl is a widow and keeps
house."
