WORKED A TRANSFORMATION
support of the Market by Large
Banks aud Syndicntes Changed
Speculative Sentiment.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Support for the
market from the large banking interests
and syndicates which seemed yesterday
to have abandoned 1t to he effects of
forced liquidation. worked a prompt
transformation in speculative sentiment
to-day. The opening dealings disclosed
that there was still urgent liquidation
to be effected, and some heavy blocks
concessions from last nights closing
prices, but brokers with supporting or
ders were present at the same time and
were bidding above the prices at which
others were letting stocks go. The o n
sequence was some wide openings in the
prices of the granger, Pacific and South
western stocks on sales of 900 to g.
500 shares of each. The average level
of prices was carried a point or more
below last night. and there were ex-
ceptional losses in Louisville of 3#. in
Baltimore & Ohio of 3%, and in South
ern Pacific of IA. U. S. Steel received
determined support from the outset,
and. although the first offerings were OF
10, 900 shares, the price was held at last
nights level. During the rest of the
day the market showed steady %recupera-
ton, and at times developed a toni of
positive buoyancy. The stocks which
suffered most acutely in yesterdays IL
quotation were most conspicuous in to-
days rally, notably ST. Paul, Union Pa
ciic, Missouri Pacific and Atchison. The
movement in these stocks was eclipsed
by that of Louisville, in which the deal
ings were on a very large scale.
There was no apparent cause for the
recovery in the general list aside from
the confidence inspired by the evidence
that powerful support vas in the mar
ket, and that the ominous and urgent
liquidation of yesterday was thereby
checked. The disquiet which was caus-
ed yesterday by the mystery surround
ing last weeks large loss in the cash re-
serves of the banks was dispelled by the
explanation that cash had peer shipped
to Buffalo to provide against a possible
run on the banks there. The open
handed freedom with which loans were
made by banks under Morgan control
quieted fears of credit contraction and
counteracted the effect Of the recent
policy OF the banks In discriminating
against collateral. This policy had its
part in inducing liquidation which
might have endangered the hanks them
selves II carried to extreme. It's check,
therefore, caused general relief.
The bond market was moderately act
i've, but only a part of the list recovered
in sympathy with stocks. Total stocks

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Interest on the
Board of Trade to-day centered In the
corn market which was strong and ac-
tive on continued reports of damage by
the dry, hot weather. September closed
an even cent higher. September wheat
closed HG%c lower; September oats
were %Ghc higher, and provisions
| closed weak and from 5 to 10c lower.
Wheat opened weak in face OF the
strength In coarse grains and trading
was dull. The market improved in the
first hour when, after a little reaction
from the opening figures, corn n oats
started on a fresh advance. Taking OF
profits by shorts caused a firmer feel
ing to succeed the early weakness. Sep
TENDER opened h@Hc lower at 4 and
advanced to 644sc, on buying by shorts.
On selling by commission houses prices
declined to 63%c and the close was "A
MMc lower at 63Bc. Exporters report
ed forty boat loads taken. Clearances
were equal to SEA, 900 bushels. North
west receipts were 1873 cars against 271
cars last week and 104 cars a week ago.
Primary receipts were 585 900 bushels,
compared with 379. 900 bushels last year.
Local receipts were ia cars, 101 Of con-
tract grade.
Corn again attracted a large crowd
and the opening was strong with buy
ers largely in the majority and bidding
&c to 1c above yesterdays close. The
continuation Of hot dry weather was
the cause for the additional strength.
September opened from ASH to 49c but
at that figure there were numerous
holders willing to take profits n
prices reacted to 481zc.
Buying was general at the reopening
and another rise began. At 49hc there
was more realizing and prices dropped
to around Acc. The close was lie high
er at 49@49bc. Local receipts were
1852 cars, 16 of contract grade.
Trading in oats was active and the
opening was higher.
The dominating bull factor was the
prospect of curtailment in the crop, oc-
casioned by ~unfavorable weather. Coun-
try traders were active buyers, while
the selling was mostly local and for
long account. September sold between
80 and 30Ac, closing %@Kc higher
at 30% Ghc. local receipts were 131
cars.
Provisions we're easier and were pre- |
vented from responding to the moderate
receipts of hogs and strength of coarse
grains by realizing sales for account of
a prominent local Spectator. Septem- |
Der pork ranged between s13 SIN and
s13 95, closing 10c lower at $13 80.
lard sold between So so and
So 52h and $ $50, closing from &c to

LONDON N MARKET.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Commercial
Advertisers London financial cable
gram:
The stock market opened Respondent
all around to-day. Although the ru-
mors that depressed trading yesterday
were unconfirmed, they caused whole
sale realization, while Berlin, Paris and
Amsterdam all sold stocks freely.
Consols developed weakness and fell
half on talk of a fresh o OF
$50, 600, 900. This decline in turn was
responsible for the rumor that the syn
dictate that had taken C 80, DOC, 900 Of the
last oar was unloading. The continent
also showed an inclination to get rid Of
consols and sold.
In the afternoon there was a rally
started by Amsterdam which bought
American stocks. New York then came
to the support of the market; others
centers responded and, assisted by the
report that the Boer leader, Gen. Botha,
has been surrounded. the whole list
closed cheerful and well above the
worst.
Tintos dropped to 5O% and closed at
So. Calls on the stock up to the end OF
September are IA. Paris cheque

NEW YORK. July 3. $50 p. NJ
Prices remained firm this afternoon
with the exception of a brief period in
the early afternoon. when reactions OF
a point or SO were numerous. Moth
ing like activity developed on the rise.
and the demand for stocks was partic-
ularly stimulated, such as there was, by
reports that the Atehison would be in
duced not TO put into effect its recently
announced schedule for lower freight
rates. The question. however. will not
be definitely settled until Friday. The
entire railroad list shared in the days
improvement, but we do not believe that
much significance attaches to the adj
vances. The market had had a sharp
decline and was entitled to a rally. We
believe that taking advantage of bulges
for sales will prove most profitable.

NEW YORK. July 9, 1855 p. NJ
With the general conditions prevailing
last night a lower market a ex-
pected and to a certain extent this was
realized, but only at opening transac-
lions. 1t o o became evident that sup
porting orders were being placed in
certain parts of the list, and especially
was this noticeable in the case of the
Steel stocks. This steadied the general
market, urgent liquidation having ap-
parently ceased, and more favorable
reports as TO the settlement of the Steel
strike and runlors that The rate cut
ting would not be fn%augurated, deliv-
ering by shorts and some good buying
orders caused a fair rally. In the after
noon the market became almost buoy
ant under the leadership of d. & n,
which advanced seven per cent, Missouri
Pacific 4 per cent, and Union Pacific 4
per cent. Good buying was noticeable
in Steel stocks. Call money was from
8 to 6 per cent. If Steel settlement is
successful, and transportation rates are
adjusted satisfactorily, higher prices for
stocks will likely prevail in the next
few DAYS.

NEW YORK. July 9.-Selling in Lon
don this morning had a slightly de-
pressing effect upon the local market,
but there was a prompt recovery from
the low prices of yesterday, and the
net gain was Il substantial one. The
steel stocks improved about two points,
upon prospects that the threatened la
Dor troubles would be adjusted in a sat
isfaetory manner, while the railway
list noticeably improved upon satisfac-
tory explanations of the rate cutting
in the Middle West. The afternoon
prices were firm. as a rule, stocks rising
almost to ~buoyaney, Louisville and
Nashville leading in the rally. The
transactions were fairly large. Much
might be written about the railroad
complications if the exact truth could
be aScertained. There are many ru-
mors afoat, each %purporting to be the
real thing, but it will take time to
develop the truth. It is known that the
Hartman interests and the Pennsylva-
MIA are lighting for the control Of
Atchison, and that neither has succeed
ed. Another great factor in the dis
turbance Is Chicago & Great Western,
which the community of interests ele-
ment has not yet gotten well in hand. A
speedy adjustment of existing differen-
ces is probable, however. Money closed

NEW YORK, January "A special
to the World from Washington says:
President Mckinley is seriously con-
sidering the proposition of sending Sc
cretary of War Root to the Philippines
to make a tour of examination similar
to the one recently made i'm cuba. This
has not been definitely decided on, but
ii is known that the matter has been
under discussion and that next May
when the President intends to visit
the Pacific coast, has been fixed upon
as good time for Root to start. He
could accompany the Presidential party
to San Francisco and go on from there,
stopping at Hawaii for a look around.
BY that time Auditor Lawshe, who
left last week for the Philippines, will
have made a thorough examination in
to affairs in the archipelago, and Root
can take observations in the light of
the facts Lawshe has gathered. The
President is bound, Of course, to de-
pend to a degree upon the Taft Com
mission, but he has great faith i'm the
ability of Root and would have thor
ough confidence in the result of his in
vestigatiOn.
In the meantime the question of cur
rency for the Philippines is worrying
everybody, Root and the President in
