STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 5.-T1he market for
stocks continued notably strong today
and much more active than the upward
movement Of last week. The activity
was very widely distributed, extending
pretty generally throughout the list. and

that were most conspicuous in last

generally. including Northwestern, Oma-

There was no very heavy pressure
of liquidation in these stocks, but there
was no effort TO hold up their prices

over the corresponding week of last
year was the main motive for this buy

wheat market induced a general cover

out in the Changers Oh the early belief
in the ruin of the wheat crop is I'M

no small part of the present strength
OF the Changers is attributed to the
covering of these shorts Atchison pre-

Other Specialties which rose strongly
were the Tobacco stocks. Steel and Wire,

some hesitation early in the trading on
account of the failure of the money

to do until the July disbursements on in

day call money fell to ? per cent. 1T
is now admitted that the recent gold
exports have been directly due to bor-

urgent need of it to carry over the
half yearly period. The London Stats

tive liquidation and the critical period
there is believed to be over. Discounts
