By Darlington & Cusack.

New York, July 2O.-The market
opened higher for the most of the
active stocks, on more or less general
support and with some buying by
London on the unchanged rate of dis
count by the Bank of England.
The strike news was rather of
negative character, the Brooklyn sit
uation being virtually cleaned up,
while New York is only affected on
the Second avenue. and therein a
spasmodic manner, there being a good
deal of violence but very few of the
employees having left the company.
Flower & Co., were credited with
being buyers of Rock Island and their
specialties generally. The disapoint-
ment in regard to the Federal steel
injunction yesterday afternoon seems
to have worn off and the street has a
better understanding of the company's
position.
The absence of any change in the
Bank of England rate is regarded as
favorable sign in the situation and
as indicating that the tightness in
money in London is over. It may ell
inmate any export of gold from this
centre for the time being, although
the exchange rate is still firm and on
special orders gold could undoubtedly
go out.
The market during the day was of
midsummer dullness and almost en-
tirely confined to the work of the pro-
fessional traders, who We're scalping
for eights and who seem undecided as
to the side of the market 60 take
for the long pulls.
1t is a fact, however, that very little
stock comes out on the drives and
the market seems to be making a fairly
large short interest. which has to be
covered and which probably will bring
higher prices.
Certainly on any weak spots it is a
purchase. The crop reports are of SO
distinctly a more favorable character
that 1t seems to us, in view of the
remarkable showing of st. Paul, Rock
Island and Burlington, that these
stocks are almost safe to sell at high
figures.
The close was dull, but steady.

American Artist HOnOred.

Augustus ST. Gaudens, a brother-in-
law of Mrs Oliver p Emerson of this
city, has been invited by the French
minister of public instruction TO place
several of his works in the museum
of the Luxembourg. They will sup
possibly be replicas Of some Of his prin-
cipal statues, but which are chosen is
not yet made public. 1t is. however,
PROBABLE that The Puritan" in the
city of Boston will be one, for the
sculptor himself has a great regard for
this superb figure. This reception OF
St. Gaudens is one of the very few in
stances of recognition of American
art vouchsafed by Europe. Our great
landscape artists, the peer of the best
of Europe, have received no Tecogni-
ton, but a few figure painters have got
it by virtue of being entirely French
in study, style and residence. The en-
trance of St Gaudens is the entrance
of an American.
