QUOTATIONS. pIsCoNTINuED.

chicao. August Gold and stock ticksrs
gave no Chicago board o. trade quotations on
grain and provisions today and exchanges
IN other cities and local commission houses
ana bucket shops had to depend on otner
means to secure the quotations. The recent
ruling OF the board Of trade barring the West
ern Union Telegraph company from sending
out its quotations wnt into fleet today and
the tickers of that company handled in
stead the fluctuations of the New York Min
neapolIs. Duluth, ST Louis and other ex-
changes Local commission houses with
beard Of trade connections we're supplied with
quotations by the new Cleveland T telegraph
company. which was under contract with
the board of trade TO handle its quotations
exclusively in Chicago and TO furnish them
only to legitimate houses. In cOnsequence
verv few bucket shops had Chicago quota
lions The Milwaukee exchange was sup
piled with Chicago quotations directly over
the wires of the Chicago and Milwaukee Tele-
graph company and the Detroit board was
supplied by one of its members having a
seat on the Chicago board. TIL. Kansas City
exchange did not blackboard Chicago quo
tations, but used the prices Of the New York
market.
The shutting out of the bucket shops and
outside markets apparently did not have
much effect on local trade.

chants are careful in handling eggs and
their stencil mark on the case Is almost

that they frequently fail to receive EXPRESS
charges out OF their consignments.

sale there was an advance OF 90 cents box

I'm THE STOCK MARKET.
With The Exception Of Few Stocks The
List Was Stagnant.
USUALLY ACTIVE STOCKS UNNOTlcEE
Sugar, Union Pacific, baltimore and
Ohio and brooklyn Rapid Transit
Made Up the Market.

New York. August lis. Mum, Son Co.
say: Stocks were generally firm sales 1856
97s shares Bonds irregular shorts covered
in the grangers. Sugar declined on talk OF
renewal of the trade war and lower Wall
street selling, but rallied on inside buying.
here was good buying OF Pennsylvania on
large earnings. Many regard Union Pacinc
as one OF the cheapest stocks on the list
some think on its merits the common VIII sell
above 50 next year. 1t has earned per cent
Tor the year and is on per cent basis,
Though entitled to all it earns while the
preferred is limited to per cent Bullsh
talk is heard on Brooklyn Rapid Transit
based on the forthcoming statement. Insiders
bought Tobacco. Steel and Iron stocks were
sold o. the cut prices by Steel Hoop Baltl-
moro and Ohio dividend Will be declared to-
morrow; insiders bought. The road has earned
e per cent on the common and per cent on
the preferred. London dealt in 10000 shares
mainly purchases OF Baltimore and Ohio and
sales OF Union Pacific.
Buy railroad stocks on the reactions Tor
moderate turns.
New York. August 1.--Except for the deal
/ ings in handful OF stocks, the list OF stock
exchange securities was a stagnant, inert
affair. Many usually active stocks were out
OF the dealings entirely an transactions in
other prominent stocks fell TO insignificant
proportions. Sugar, Union Pacific, Baltimore
and Ohio and Brooklyn Rapid Transit made
UP the market and all the rest of the dealings
might have been dropped out OF public notice
for any significance tney had on current con-
dittons
There is not much expectation that coudi-
tons will change a the stock market for
some time TO come. The world of capital
awaits the solution of the problem in China
and the resulting requirements in the world S
money markets. the ultimate fate of the crops
in the United States, the settlement of the
basis on which future business in the iron
and steel industry is TO be done, and the set
Ting down of political conditions. The future
of the money market is especially confusing
and complex, and expert opinions differ wide
~ as to the course to be expected. The re-
dempuon Of the old 2 per cents, interest or
which ceases on August Is, will be feature
OF the month. But Of the Sl9 900, 900 OF these
outstanding, over Sl3000,00O Is on deposit In
Washington to secure circulation and govern
ment deposits. In order to avoid . contrac
lion i'll circulation and withdrawal of deposit,
in the banks, these bonds must therefore b,
: replaced by other bonds for deposit The ne
result OIL the money market Will therefore b,
small.
The bond market continues dull and irregu
, lar Total sales par value $4,000.
