through the interior currency move
ment and deceipts of gold from Pa
cific coast points, so a heavy loss in
cash is expected to be shown in the
bank statement. The weekly reports
Of the European governmental insti-
tutions were scanned with interest, in
connection with their replenishment of
resources from here. Less than half of
the recent shipments of upward of
SIT 600, 900 was reflected in the state
ment. The Bank of Englands return
showed an increase in reserve of 3d.
$4,000 and bullion increased S. 1885,
800. These acquisitions caused moro
liberality to borrowers and loans in
creased S5,960,000 The bank gained
on balance to-day on bullion transac-
tons, S3,410,0 00 It's official rate of
discount was maintained at per cent,
but the open market rate fell to 37sc.
The showing OF the Bank of France
was less marked III its principal items
than last week.
Gold holdings increased only $780,
600, while loans were reduced 1921 ,9Z5
and circulation shrank $3000000. IS
the rise in prices of stocks early to-
day was maintained with difficulty,
professional traders who have been in
strumental in the weeks advance
switched over TO the short side, ami
let go their holdings. No increase in
outside business was reported despite
the apparent stability to the early
movement in railroad stocks. This
factor influenced short sales by oper-
ators who consider the market to3-
heavy. While there was but little
energetic selling in any quarter prices
steadily receded and ended at the low
est. The price level on the day, now
ever showed but few notable changes.
Some wide movements were made in a
few of the specialties, notably Sugar,
Pacific Mail, Rubber and Consolidated
Gas. The latter covered a range of
over points, early strength being
succeeded by a fall and a final rally
resulting in the announcement that the
stock was to be restored to an eight
per cent annual basis.
Reports of a severe cut in prices of
structural steel by Independent con-
Germs impaired a heaviness to the steel
groSp. which also felt the genera sell
ing of the day. Despite official de-
malls of the rumored deal of the Balti-
more & Ohio to absorb the New Jer-
sey Central railroad, the latter stocl,
moved up q point at the outset but
later lost the gain.
Transactions in bonds to-day fel! off

regularity. Total sales par value $780,,

The committee on roads and bridges
of the Board of County Commissioners
held a meeting yesterday for the pnr-
pose of opening bids for the construcr
tion of the new steel bridge at Steen-
rods, over Wheeling creek. The bids
were offered in accordance with rough
plans, which did not include specifica.
tions, each bidder submitting a strain
sheet with the bid.
The strain sheet will he q factor in
determining which of the bids is the
lowest and best. For this reason they
were all submitted to County Engineer
Robert Hazlett for investigation and
report to the Board. II will be remen-
bered that some dissatisfaction was
caused some time ago when the River
side Company made a bid On the work,
and members of the Beard claim that
the other bid was merely an estimate.
The bids opened yesterday were as
follows:
Nelson & Buchanan Co. of Pitts
burg, plan "a" with cylinders, ST.
99S; without cylinders, 1896; plan
"B," $2,7SO.
Bellefontaine, o., Bridge Company,
$500
Riverside Bridge and Machine Com
pany, of Martins Ferry, $2495. This
bid also included additions which the
company agreed TO supply at actual
cost.
Wrought Iron Bridge Company, of
Canton, O., s2,4S2.
Mt Vernon Bridge Company, Mt.
Vernon, O., $4,000
The New Columbus Bridge Company,
of Columbus, O., 1886.

bridges was awarded some weeks ago

PRODUCE.


CHICAGO, August 1e. Wheat was
dull ana heavy uo-aay under llquida-
ton, SEPTEMBER closing lc under yes
terday. Corn was nervous and closed
sc higher. Oats at the close were a
shade lower and provisions zoe down
for pork, unchanged for lard and 21a
Q5c lower for ribs.
With a half filled pit, colorless news
ana conjectureS and a fair amount OF
persistent liquidation the wheat market
was decidedly fiat and uninteresting.
1t opened shade higher; September
at 1870 1sc, principally IN sympathy
with cora. Liverpool was merely steady
for futures and easy for spot. Paris,
after a holiday, was OFF equal to 1c.
There was no cash demand to speak of;
outsiders had apparently forgotten that
this market existed and the scalper
alone placed his little trade most OF the
session. The bulls-or some OF them
made an attempt at the start to hold
the market, but they met no support.
One interest threw half a million into
the pit anu the market slid OFF. This
bundle being disposed OF wheat in
smaller lots came tumbling in and Sep
TENDER after being checked for a mo-
ment on the falling of in western re-
ceipts finally sagged to 735s@Mc The
close was weary and weak, September
1c lower at 73Ac Seaboard clearanceS
were equal m wheat and flour to $780,
900 bushels. New York reported n
loads taken for export. Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 bushels compared
with 528 last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 242 cars against 233
last week and III a year ago. Local
receipts amounted to 1852 ears, SO of
contract grade. There was more ner-
vousness than activity about the corn
market. Country acceptances were
light In spite OF the nervousness,
however, the tone was firm. Kansas
was still in the grasp Of hot wave
but the small STOCKS, the light country
acceptances and possibility OF a squeeze
Oh delivery day were the chief con-
siderations and provided the nervous
feeling Liverpool was firm. Septem-
Der opened $8 to 5sc higher at 1875 to
391sc, sold to 1880 and later, partially
in sympathy with wheat dropped back
TO $3.50 at which the market closed
2sc over yesterday. Receipts were lO8
cars. The cash business was smaller
and New York reported only SO loads
taken for exports. Oats were quiet,
but steady, helped by the corn firmness.
Trade was principally in the way OF
changing September contracts to Oc-
tober. Receipts were 294 cars. Sep
TENDER sold between 221s and 21Bc,
closing a shade lower at 2178Q22c.
Provisions were dull and irregular.
Pork, weak, lard steady and short ribs
easy. Lard was in good demand by
cash people and furnished support to
other product, but pork was unable to
withstand the selling pressure of pack
ers. september pork solo between
$11 5712 and $11 80 and closed zoe
lower at $11 80, September lard being
