New York Uptown Gossip.

New York, July 19.-The Importance OF
the situation in China a factor in the
securities markets both here and abroad
received at least a negative illustration
yesterday. Speculation came almost to a
standstill both in New York and at the
principal European centers. The local
market had to encourage it many vivid
accounts of how recent rains have i'm
proved the crop outlook and the bears in
the wheat and corn market were again
in the ascendency. Other favorable fea-
lures were the declaration of an increased
dividend on Illinois Central and the fact
that the engag ementS of gold for export
today were much less than had been ex-
pected. European money rates advanced
no further and home conditions We're ex-
tremely easy. Notwithstanding these
facts the stock market showed decreased
activity and the speculation was virtually
in control of the professional element.
The only important impression upon
prices appeared to result from sales by
developments that we must for time
look for the determining influences in the
securities markets If the task of sup
pressing the rebellion in China assumes
larger proportions than it now presents. it
is possible that more or less disturbance
will will be caused in the money market
by the raising of large foreign loans, yet
there is little doubt that the international
bankers will endeavor to conduct these
negotiations so to produce the least
friction. That there is no immediate
stress on the other side is Indicated by
the report that no extra inducements
were offered on the gold exports which
will take place today.

State Treasurer Grimes raises his
voice to proclaim the prosperity of the
