Held Suspended Between Two Factors
 New York, Aug. 1O.-To- days stock market was held suspended between the influences of the rising rates for call money and the extraordinary fig ures of the governments report on the condition of the great cereal crop. There was brief and slight harden ing of prices of stocks following the publication of the government crop re- port, which served only to about re- store the level of prices to where they left off last night. But the market fell back again into a torpid state after this brief sign of animation. The prom i5e of the crops according to the esti- mates of the agricultural department served to explain the growing confi- dence in financial circles that the en- barrassnents in the situation, due to the heavy over-commitments of capital in fixed forms, give good promise of working out. The indicated winter wheat crop is the largest on record, promising as it does to come within seven million bushels of the half bil- lion bushel mark The estimate of the spring wheat crop, while falling short of the actual bunper crop of 1901, eX- ceeds that of any other year. and brings the indicated figures for the to- tai wheat crop to the largest in the country's history, the figures rising to above 772,000,000 bushels. The estimate of the corn crop fixes figure in ex- cess of last years bumper crop. The moderate effect of the report, either in the grain markets or in the stock mar ket was due partly to the confident ex- pectation of its favorable character previously held. But the money situa- ton undoubtedly had an important part in the restraint on the stock mar ket. Call loan rates for time loans were also higher. Estimates of the weeks currency movement indicate on- ly q slight movement on balance against New York to be added to the $2000,O 600 lost to the sub-treasury. But mo doubt is entertained that the course of the movement, thus slightly indi- eated, has turned definitely gainst New York for the season. Weekly withdrawals from the cash reserves of S4AC ANNN IOIh DniiihS dIS lO bC CApCCl~ ed, therefore, for an indefinite period Relief from other sources depends on New Yorks ability to draw gold from abroad. Conditions are moving quite strongly towards the point of profit on gold imports. A further wide decline in foreign exchange sales to-day brought that point nearer. The desultory show of strength in few stocks during the day, principally the Hartman Pacifies and the Pennsylvania group, was at- trbuted to hopes of early dividend in- creases. The general market was sluggish and narrow throughout The freedom of the call loan market from final furry, which was somewhat feared, prompted a stfffening of prices at the last which established the days gains for the few strong stocks. Net changes, as a rule. however, were tri- vial Tie closing tone was steady

Response to Splendid Crop Report
 Call Money and Time Money Dearer--
 Gossip of the Day.
 The stock market yesterday was 2 dull and tame affair. Less than 500,00 shares changed hands, and there were nany quiet moments for the ticker.
 And yet the government crop report was a splendid one, indicating a wheat yield for 1906 of 772,000,000 bushels ant a harvest of cyrn of 2, ,713OO0,OOO bushels This was certainly a great showing ant of great importance to the railroads the farmers and the country.
 Two other features of the day were the rise in money rates, 4 1-2 per cent for call and 5 3-4 over the year, and the 25-point decline in sterling exchange tc the gold importing level,
 If the market did anything yesterday 1t was to sit up and take notice of the stiff rates for money.
 Even though money rates here are from i to ? per cent. higher than 1T London and Paris, the centers from which must come the present supplies of capital available for this market, there is a question about their giving up gold to New York this month.
 Two non-dividend payers. both with prospects" Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Southern Pacific sold simultaneous ly around IT 1-2.
 No effort was made to advance Union Pacific rapidly, but it seemed to be we'll taken on all concessions.
 The three-point rise in Consolidated Gas reple lesented a drive against the short interest.
 The excellent behavior of Union Paci- fic during most of the day helped the entire market
 With the rumor persistent that South ern Pacific would get the equivalent of per cent. the stock touched a new high price
 The pool in Pennsylvania abandoned their aggressive attitude after finding that the rest of the market would not follow suit, But they have been able to hold the stock above 136 in spite of li- quidation elsewhere.
 The ease of money before the close stimulated confidence. Plenty was to be had around 3 per cent. in the last half hour.
 Some said the market had discounted the splended crop report.
