THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The volume Of business in stocks was reduced
yesterday. but prices sought slightly higher
level The news Of the day was practically
without effect on the market No account, ap-
pa-eutly, was taken OF the beginning OF the
movement on Peking. or IT'S probable or pos
sIble consequences. Anyway, II did not seem to
excite apprehension that It would produce
worse state Of affairs than now exists in China.
The declaration OF a dividend OF per cent on
the common stock OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. payable IN two instalments Of per
cent each, excited only a passing influence on
this particular stock It stirred up q little
tivity in the shares for g spell, with moderate
advance in the price Then the trading sub
sided and the price slowly receded Such re-
ports OF railroad earnings as were received
we're favorable but they were not exhibits to
cause special comment. Altogether, It was as
ruiet e day as has been witnessed in some time.
While there is more or less decentralization in
iron and steel prices, the outlook in the trade
Is not considered forbidd!ng. Following the
agreement on the wage scale, 1t is presumed
that there viii be readjustment Of prices that
VIII once more place the business on stable
basis. Purchasers Of rails, structural iron and
other iron and steel products are holding off in
anticipation Of securing better quotations When
they are satisfied that bottom has been reached
ton has not diminished, although there IS
cessation Of orders for the time being. The late
crop news IS satisfactory, and this is particular
IL true Of corn. By reason of the large increase
IN exports Of corn and the products Of corn, the
crop is highly important. With proper weather.
the yield Will be bumper one. The good prices
Prevailing for cereals and for cotton will largely
make I'd for decreases in production. There
are as yet no signs Of a tightening in money.
end il is doubtful II the transfer Of funds the
West and South 10 move the crops viii be
conpanied by any heavy advance IN rates. The
whole country IS well supplied with money. The
position Of the New-Ynrk banks IS notably
strong.
There was fairly good buying OF Brooklyn

tacco was sold and broke IN price rumor
which was not conAEmed,-that the dividend
7gould be cut down. The steel and iron stocks
were steady, IN spite Of the uncertainty in the
trade The fluctuations in Sugar Refining were
not wide No new trade developments were re-
ported The busy season in the trade is not
over and no serious cuts in sugar prices were
locked for at present. The only railroad stocks
in which there were any large dealings were
