THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

No amount Of bear reasoning can twist none

and no amount OF bear talk can convince tee
men whose interests in the market are the
greatest that the combination OF factors un-
deriving intrinsic worth is not in favor OF
higher market values.
The great monetary centres Of the world were
well prepared for the demands Of the July in

BEADING market interests IN Wall Street were
not disturbed by the heavy demands made upon
The local institutions in the last week. nor were

MONEY MARKET CHANGES.

The feature OF the last hour Of trading was an
easier tendency in money rates, with liberal offer
ings at S per cent and the close at per cent.
Time money was unchanged at 31zG4 per cent on
dividend paying railroad stocks and A.. per cent on
mixed collateral The bulk OF the days business
was at per cent. Commercial paper was in light
supply with rates at 31zd4 per cent for the best
names for all periods. The best judges OF the
money market again expressed confidence in the
monetary situation, and said that there was abso-
lutey reason for uneasiness over the position OF
the city banks Money will soon begin to return
from the interior Some criticism has been heard
In the Street regarding certain large banks. and
the assertion has been made that certain lnstitu-
tions have been juggling with the money market.
There are. however no proofs presented TO show
that this Is so.

ANTHRACITE TRADE CONDITIONS.

The July letter Of the Anthracite Coal Oper-
ators Association, in speaking Of the anthracite
trade says:
Prices remain firm at all points. and while slight
concessions have undoubtedly been made in some
instances they have not been sufficient TO disturb
the general tone OF the market. An exceptionally
favorable feature thus far has been tho refusal Of
the larger companies 10 make extensive contracts
for future delivery at prevailing prices. In the
past this practice fas doae more than anything
else TO destroy the confidence OF buyers and pre-
vent a realization Of any advance in prices which
