financial cablegram: The receipts here
were weak today, mainly on account OF
the lack of business, the prospect Of dear
er money at the approaching settlement
next Monday, and the rather bad news
from South Africa The new excheouer
bonds fell to % premium on the apprc-
hension which is quite general here that
the successful American bidders for those
securities will unload at the first chance
for a fair profit American stocks were
featureleSS an idle market

WALL STREET GOSSIP-Strong. stur-
gis & Co. wire to II. HolbeIt q Son:
transactions foot up little more than
half as much assyesterdaY's business, and,
1t is rarely that we see cur stock market
more StdSHdnl. In consequence, any re-
marks regarding the speculation here are
of little value with all, prices hold firm.
London sold a few stocks in the early
morning and bought again this afternoon.
On most limited trading Union Pacific.
the Atchisons and Baltimore 6, Ohio al
hold well; whatever feature there has
been in trading has been concentrated
mostly in Sugar, but the fluctuations are
so professional as to really mean very lit
tie. We hear some talk about gold ship
ments and Mr.. Bryan's speech Of accept
ance has created little more gossip
about the presidential contest. The tut
look is for a continuation of this dull
ness for awhile. sc that we think the
wisest plan is to hold off Tor the pres
the long or short side to offer any induce
ment to take hold"
