Condition of British crop July 1, 95.9, against 1O33 last year. Weather conditions very favorable, showers and thunderstorms predicted in the northwest. There were a few reports of damage to spring wheat, but in the main they were favorable. Total receipts spring and winter wheat at primary points, i40- 900, ,0U0 an increase over last year of 5S 000, GOO. This is from August l, 1898, up to date. Primary receipts, 7,O0O; shipments, 206, 000. Clearances light, about 175,000. Minneapolis flour sales 2,00O. Northwest stocks will show smell increase Next visible will show fair sized increase. Twenty-Five loads reported for export; we confirm only 5. Have heard of no cash business here. There was some early buying Of wheat, which gaye the market firm tone, but the de- mand was soon supplied, and Il stiff drive was made at the September future, result ing in decline, which brought out good deal of long wheat. Closing was at the low point of the day. The apathy display ed abroad, with receipts piliDs in this country, slack cash demand and favorable weather conditions nave brought apout condition that points towards lower values temporarily unless some unforeseen calam- ity occurs in the northwest.
 Corn-Noarby and deferred futures closed very weak. There was renewed iiquida- tion and liberal short selling was noticeable through country houses, based on Slittering prospects for the new crop. The market simply could not stand up under It, and the same can be said of oats. with the eX- ception of July, which is still in an over sold condition ani closed at about the top prices.
 Provisions--Hogs were higher, all selling. Liverpool bacon Cd higher: hams Is higher; packers were on both sides Of the market, hut not much interest was manifested. Shipments of meats and lard were fairly liberal On any sharp break we favor purc chases.

Talbott & PaImer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun
 New York, July 21.-Although the volume of transactions was comparatively light, there was a substantial improvement in the undertone of today's stock market. Com mission houses were more active and at the opening there was more snap to the trading than has been displayed during the past ten days. Today's London market reflected a decidedly better tone, due to the un- changed Bank of England discount rate and greater ease in the private rate which declined to 32s per cent With clearing political situation abroad and the collapse of the labor strikes, there was tendency in London to take hold of international stocks and so the opening for Americans was almost buoyant in tone. Local specu- lative sentiment was bulish in the failure of the strikes and the comparatively small losses that would be sustained by the af- fected companies; an expected favorable bank statement the ease of the foreign exchange market and gratifying crop re- ports together with excellent railroad re- turns. Call money was compara lively easy, and bankers generally expressed the opin- ion that while they expected somewhat higher rates, they did not look for any serious stringency fin the near future, or while the commencing of the crop move ment was in progress. Estimates based on tomorrows bank statement pointed to substantial increase in surplus reserve It was estimated that London bought about 1S,00o represented in the general list. Louis- vile and Nashville apparently leading The market was dull and strong on clos ing. Changers held well and the sentiment of room traders was more bullish. Many of them working on long side.

New York, July 21.-The market for cot ton futures showed more or less irregu- larity today, and while prices at one time were lower than yesterdays closing fig ures by 2q4 points, the market in the main reflected the favorable effects on coatinted buying for investment accounts, led by substantial Wall street houses, who have for several days past been consistent and persistent buyers. The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline Of 8 points. further declined point and then braced up, with snorts somewhat on the anxious seat, in view of the fact that our market had not made the decline that many expected in view of the disappOint- ing character of the cables the feature Of which was not so much the loss of one and one-nalf to two siXtyfourths in fu- lures as in the smaller sales of spot cottoQ at Liverpool At the same time crop ad- vices had a more favorable average and should have exerted a depressing influence upon the markets; but they failed to do so to the extent to which shorts had cal eulated upon. Covering therefore soon be- came more or less general, and while the market was not at any time particularly active, a very fair business was done with outsiders for a larger proportion than usual The market was finally steady with unchanged prices to an advance of 8 points.
