Indications Of Better Foreign Trade-Hot

fiected to-day by a slight decline in
wheat, by declines in corn, bringing the
December and May options 35s and
AS cents, respectively. below the prices
at the end of last week; by similar
break in oats. and by another violent
break in cotton.
The market was dull until the last
hour, much more than half of the days
business being done between 2 o'clock
and the clos ns; but prices ruled firm and
advanced fractionally from the opening.
Union Pacific, which advanced 2B points
on the day, was the leader in the late
trading, and the squirt in the last hour
was, of course, the feature OF the day.
Merchandise experts from the port of
New York for last week compared favor
ably, amounting 10 $15, ,223 900. as compared
with SO. 1893. COO in the previous week and
$l2,943, 900 in the corresponding week last
year. Before the opening it became
known that the Attorney General had
begun an attempt to revive his suit
against the Reading company under the
commodities clause, but no more atten-
tion was paid to this action than to the
similar proceeding against Lehigh Valley

the stock market became buoyant this
afternoon. and trading was conducted
with a zest and spirit in the sharpest
possible contrast with the dullness and
depression prevalent yesterday.
To-day the governments weekly

hot wave, and relief from the drought in
Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma, and

portion of the corn belt still suffered
