The feature of the speculation was the bull movement in Susar, which was based on information rt-ceived from Washington to the effect that the Senate anl House conferees on the tariff bill had agreed on the l-i differential in favor of refined suar. A?i usual, the Sugar clique appeared to have the news in advance of the rest of the street, and their brokers had acquired a tfoodly amount of the stock before the general run of traders were aware of the reasons for puttin? the price up. At the openIng the buying was so brisk That the official reporters of the Stock Kxchange were unable to catch the prices in the order 1 made, and the first quotation given on the ticker was shares, !ci to 101." the lower figure being above the closing of Thursday.

There Is little complaint of dullness In general trade, though business as a rule maintains the quiet tono which characterized it throughout the last month. There is nothing new to be noted in either the drygoods or grocery line. Trade is fair and quotations absolutely unchanged. Country produce is easy and the indications are toward a lower rather than a higher range of price?. Fruits and vegetables are unchanged, with a fair business doing, the market showing more activity than last week. On 'Change there was little doing yesterday. There was a decided bulge in corn, but offerings were very liyht. The price of corn is now fully 2c above that of wheat it: this market. There was no inquiry for th latter cereal, the elevators being full, and no demand for shipment. All the stock in levators are held for the local mills, ruder the operation f the interstate-commerce law our shippers can l no business i?i competition with oiher ints that ar regarded as grain centers, and whatever Is dine in that line is to li!l special orders.

thi: om.y Hxcm hageme.xt that DIX & CO. CA I'OIXT OCT. IIiimIiiphh Miiy Improve Some If ConKWH AVI1I Decide Definitely What It 1 en lis o Do. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-R. G. Dun & Cos weekly reviev of trade, which issues tomorrow, will say: An important change in the state of busines is near at hand. Congress will act on the tariff question one way or the other, in all probability, within a week. If it passes the pending bill, or if it fails, in either case the definite basis for future business will enable many to act who are now waiting. Whether the one course or the other would stimulate the greater increase, it is certain that either would give relief from present paralyzing uncertainties, and cause some increase in business, at least for a time. So much business has been deferred during the past year and merchandise stocks have been so reduced, that the mere approach of a decision, without certainty what It is to be. has this week encouraged large preparations for increased business. In spite of outgoing gold and sinking treasuryreserves, small railroad earnings, some injury to crops and Increased trouble in the coke regions, the tone and the outlook are more hcpeful. The injury to crops by hot winds and drought, if as great as some report, will affect all interests, but at this season it is never easy to distinguish between local and general damage. "Western receipts of wheat were 6,400,254 bushels, against 4.C02.69S bushels last year, which does not encourage notions of a short yield, and exports were only 1,590,563 busnels from Atlantic ports, against 3.1i5,563 bushels last year. Corn exports were only 118,4 bushels, against l,5:i9,7Sl bushels last year, and receipts 1,952.343 bushels, against 2.532.976 bushels last year, but it seems undeniable that the crop has sustained considerable injury. Cotton declined an eighth, with commercial estimates of a yield exceeding S.5oo,otH) bales.' Sales of wool were S.522.im pounds, against 3.71250 last year, and 9,336.4i0 the year before, and for five weeks ending with July were 30.882,725 pounds, against 14.13.930 pounds last year, and 3S.5S6.750 pounds in 1:2. It seems that a large part of the sales this week were to fill orders actually booked, and the rush of belated clothiers and dealers to get goods for the fall trade gives most manufacturers more than they can do for a month or two, though there seems to be no demand whatever for spring goods, and manufacturers are mnking no effort to get orders. Wool has been advanced for many kinds 1 cent and the average about 4c, after the decline of 14c from May 1st. Recovery in iron manufacture is hindered by greater trouble in the coke region, where many of th? new colored, hands nave out and cone back to the South, and the strikers have decided to continue the struggle. Somewhat better business appears at Philadelphia, but the market here is dull. There is no improvement in quantities of manufactured forms required at Pittsburg or the West, and In general the demand for finished products is disappointing. Prices remV.n nearly unchanged, though with numerous small contracts for structural work, beams are a shade stronger, while bessemer iron, bar iron and wire nails are a shade weaker. The demand crowds all works producing low-priced shoes, while manufacturers of better grades are left dependent on slender dMly orders to keep their shops in operation. Shipments from Boston for the week are 15 per cent, larger than last yee.r. and for July 12 per cent., but a decrease, compared with 1892, of 11 per cent. Commercial liabilities thus far reported In failures during- Julv amounted to $9.016.778. of which $1.5A220 were of manufacturing and $4,231,370 of trading concerns, and the decrease of the month, though great in comparison with last year, is hardly s much as has been expected. The failures this week have been 219 in the United States, against 436 last year, and forty-four in Canada, against thirtyfour last year. KITtM't oT Hie .Iiipiin-Chliin "War. NLW YORK, Aug. 3. Bradstreet's report to-morrow will say: While little significance is attached to the moderate improvement in trade at San Francisco, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Augusta and Atlanta, when it is added that clearing-house totals for July report twenty-nine cities with larger aggregates than in July last year, contrasted with the June report, which contained only eighteen eitie .vith aggregates larger than those in June a year ago. It is perceived that there are influences at work at the interior favoring an increase in the volume of business. Wheat has advanced in sympathy with torn, increased orders and reports of crop damage from abroad, while eorn's sharp advance is due partly to exJiggeratfd notions of damage from "drought. There is little likelihood of the corn crop being smaller than in either of the two preceding years.notwithstanding our advices f 25 per ctnt. damuge in Kansas and 10 per cent, in Nebraska. Southern crop prospects generally are excellent. Improvement announced in general trade at San Francisco is in part based on interest manifested in the war in Asia, provision dealers, particularly, anticipating largely increased trade. War between China and Japan has not affected the price of tea here yt, although an increased demand is noted at Xew York. Boston and Chicago. Wheat exports, 1'nited States and Canada, both coasts, six days ending with Aug. 3. amounted to 2.977.0U) bushels, auinst 3..) bushels last week, as compared with 5.622.o0 bushels in the week one year ago, 3,978.000 two years ago, Dxi00 bushels three years ago, and -.vith 2.1 66,01 M bushels four years ago. Sail Francisco wires that two wheat cargoes have been shipped to the United Kingdom this week, after the long cessation of such exports. Boston reports all lines of staple merchandise very quiet, cottons selling at concessions. Added interest in wool has characterized the Philadelphia as well as the Boston markets Slight increases in the demand k: nearly all leading lines are reported from Pittsburg, and at Baltimore jobbers in dry goods, notion, hats and shoes report business more encouraging.

AV11UAT FKLL OFF .-SC IX SYMPATHY WITH COHVS DROP OF 1-IC. Out Recovered from the llenr itultl Kitrly In the Day and Provisions Advanced. AH Arouud. CHICAGO, Aug. 3. The high price of corn tempted holders to unload to-day and the market declined in consequence, closing 4c lower for September. Wheat went down in sympathy with corn, losing -c, tut oats were firm, closing 4c higher. Provisions finished at an advance all around. Wheat was quite active during the first hour, butj later only ordinary interest was displayed. The feeling was a little easier. Initial transactions were the same to a fraction, under the final figures of yesterday, with September at 54?8c, and soon sold down "4C, rallied 4?s changed some and closed at 53"c for September. The market was inclined to fluctuate with corn, the early decline being due to that influence, though the liberal receipts both here and in the Northwest were something of a factor. There was fairly good buying on the decline and when corn advanced wheat followed, cables, as was expected, helping the advance to some extent. There was said to be an active demand for vessel room at Toledo to load wheat to this point, but rates were advanced and nothing" of consequence transacted, though it was rumored at one time that lOU.uuo bushels had teen taken. The weather in England was said to be fine. The export clearances of wheat and flour were light and aggregated 261,000 bushels of wheat and flour, of which o,) bushels was in Hour. Corn was active and unsettled. The feeling was nervous and prices fluctuated sharply and frequently within 14ft lx4c range. Initial transactions were the same to 4c under yesterday's closing figures at 494c for September, and sold up a trifle, then broke sharply, selling off lc for September and 14c for May, rallied nearly as o.uickly, recovering the break, eased off 4 iV. changed some, ruling irregular and closed with September at 4U4c. There was evidently a desire on the part of some of the large holders to unload to-day and offerings were very heavy during the first half hour, several large concerns selling ft eel v, which started the smaller holders to realizing, and as there was less support from the outside the price declined rapidly. On the break, demand improved, room traders who sold early endeavoring to cover and found offerings very light. The price was suddenly advanced, helped alons by the prediction of frosts to-night in exposed places In Iowa. Oats declined early on the break In corn, but reacted later on good buying. The market was fairly active with a range of for September. Provisions were generally firm on better prices at the yards and good buying. Offerings were scarce and the close was near the top. Compared with last night, September pork is 224c higher; September lard, .13c higher, and September ribs .074c higher. Frelcht slow at "4c for corn to Buffalo and ;t4c to Port Huron.
