London Stock Exchange.

London, July 22.-Brsiness on the stock exchange during the past week showed signs of the usual summer dullness. Con sols and other first class securities were buoyed up by cheap money for a while but yielded gradually to the effect of the rumors regarding the dissolution of parliament, lack of support and the bulls reducing commitments prior to the set clement. The fact that gold was going abroad helped to moderate the decline. The feature among foreigners was Argen- tines which experienced a small boom in revival of the favorable outlook.
 Americans were more than ever neglect cd, being affected by the lack of Wall street support Union Pacific was bought early in the week on dividend anticipa- tions, and United States steel attracted attention to the reports of favorable trade prospects. But the changes throughout the list were moderate money was plentiful which caused discounters to reduce rates somewhat but the gold going out to South America will probably cause a t~rden- ing soon. It is thought that France is re- ducing her balance of cash in London which with the low exchange allowing purchases of gold is taken to indicate preparations to assist Russia to raise a loan when peace is declared.

smoIlen 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

Foreign cables were rather insignificant as to influencing our market this morn- ing. During the past week the option list has been active and reached about the highest levels of the recent ad- vance, due to sensational crop reports and some large speculative interests. As a result of less demand for spot cotton, Liverpool and a lack of interest on the part of the public to enter the market, prices showed a declining tendency, not withstanding the support of leading in- terests.
 The weather and crop reports for the week should be considered very favorable even though many localities still report either excess or lack of moisture. The conditions of crop. as a whole, is, of course, not nearly mp to the average for a fair yield, but there Is still time for much improvement which can result In an increased yield, but far from full crop Is anticipated As predicted in these advices the Financial Chronicle report today for the week was favorable, which is also quite likely to be the result of the government report on Tuesday.

Manchester, Eng, July 22.-The cloth market was inactive, the only change in the week being rather better offers
 Manufacturers were firmer and business consequently was meager. Abundant sup- plies bought at low rates and not con sumed help shippers to maintain their attitude of indifference. A few finishing cloths were salable for early delivery and some retail transactions occurred in the case of minor outlets. Yarns were al- most stagnant- Where few sales occurs the prices are irregular. Some spinners are more pressing for orders than Inf here
