Speculation was dull on the Stock ExChange yesterday except In Distilling, iusar, St. Paul and Burlington, In which shares about two-thirds of the entire business of the day was done. London was In the market only as a small seller of St. Paul an! one or tw of the other arbitrage specialties. The stock of the Whisky Trust was mot actively dealt in and there was a revival of the unfavorable rumors recently circulated against this company which represent It to be In serious difficulty. Denials were made from semi-official sources, but whether .or not there is foundation for any of the stories current. It is certain that the opinion is general that Distilling is not a safe Investment by outsiders. The clique which has been manipulating the stock during the past week was, the moving ln.lluen.ee therein to-day. Heavy offerings in the early dealings caused a "break of but before noon a recovery of l' j had taken place. In the afternoon there was a reaction of si. a r iily of and a t'.na! loss of H. making a, decline on the day of 7 per cent. Sugar wis sold during the morning by the shorts 3n the absence of supporting orders, re?c:Iing ?i per cent, to In the later trading a covering movement resulted in an advance to ViAk, with a reaction of 'H at the close, bringing the prices down to Thursday's closing quotation. St. Paul opened weal: and on sales ly London houes receded '2 per cent., but before noon had recovered the fntlre I033. After midday the room traders sold the stock down to per cent., the Closing price being within lis of the lowest. CurllngtoTi & Qulncy, after an opening loss of .s. rose 'j. and then on sales, largely credited to Boston, broke Vn. the last being the lowest figure of the day. AtchlBon was sold down ai per cent, before noon when good buying was met. based on a report that the next annu il mooting will be held next month and that a majority of the directors will b retired, .an t th.t their places will be tilled by prominent milroid financiers. An advance of ? followed this, of which i was lost In the final dealings. On a purchase of 110 shares. Central Pacllic advanced 3 per cent. The changes in the rest of the list on the day's transactions were merely fractional and were nearly a'l In the direction of lower values. The market was weak during the greater rart of the day and was decidedly heavy in tone at the close. The bond market was rather heavy during the mprning. but gained strength as the tiay advanced and was rather strong at the close. A majority of the issues dealt in show an advance. The transactions aggregated $310,000. The principal changes- on the day are: Advances Rock Island firsts, registered. 2!4; Central Ohio reorganization firsts.

The mllllnry houses, dry goods men and the boot and shoe merchants speak of trade as being somewhat better than last month, but agree that there is still lnrire room for Improvement. Grocers are tusy; so are the leather dealers. and hardware men as compared with sixty davs ago. On Commission row there is fully as much trade In progress as at the correepondlng period of 1?03. Still trade lacks nap. It requires low price and h good dial of urging to sell goods In both the vg-taMe and fruit line?.

BETTER AND WORSE DUX fc CO.'S PARADOXICAL OIMXIO OF TIIADK CONDITIONS. Uncertain Crop Proapectn Affect a Rulness Brudntreet Finds a IlrlKbter Outlook. NEW YORK. Sept. 7. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade, which issues tomorrow, will say: The business outlook is much like- an April day, with alternate clouds and sunshine. In some branches strong Improvement still continues, while in others trade is diminishing. Strikes lessen for the time the working force perhaps as much as It Is othtrwlse Increased, but the strike of garment makers spreads so rapidly that an early end is considered certain, while the strikes In cotton mills have advanced prices so much that a settlement there is; thought not distant. Ths govern ment crdp report Is expected to foreshadow a great loss in corn, while other observers believe reports are materially exaggerated. Estimates of the yield range all the way from l,5i,0o0,000 to 1,700,000,CCO bushels. This uncertainty affects business prospects to some extent, and an advance of 2 cent the past week. has followed, the receipts being not half those of the same week last year. Wheat receipts have been 5,677,157 bushels, against 4,550,337 last year, and yet the price advanced cent, although Atlantic exports were only 1,158,674 bushels, against 2,111.644 last year. Pork advanced 25 cents per barrel and lard 25 'tents per hundred pounds, as smaller estimates of the corn supply were entertained. The first bills against spot cotton of the new crop have appeared, and The Financial Chronicle estimaus the yield at 8,500,000 to 9,000,000 bales its record of last year's crop being 7,527,211 bales, though late In the year some prophets predicted only 6,500,000 bales. To all appearance the new crop will exceed tbe maximum world's consumption of American, of which the stock carried over Sept. 1, here and abroad, was 1.5S9.4S4 bales. Sales of wool have fallen to 4,115,100 pounds, of which about a million pounds actually belonged to the previous week, against 7.616.8W in 1S92, and domestic fine wool ha3 weakened about a cent at Boston, although Australian has advanced V cent with stronger foreign markets. Failures in August aggregated liabilities of $10,139,477, of which $3,172,330 were in manufacturing and $5,078,133 in trading concerns. IurlnK the week the failures were 215 in 'the United States against 313 last year, and forty-seven in Canada against twenty-five last year. HrndNtrcepM Tritdo Review. NEW YORK, Sept. 7. Brads tree fs will say to-morrow: Special telegrams from more important distributing points make it plain that in mercantile lines traders are fairly active, fully meeting earlier and more favorable anticipations in a. majority of Instances and exceeding them in some. An increased number of interior buyers at large cities within the week has served to stimulate the feeling of hopefulness, and aside from the cotton mill strike in New England and distress in the Northwest due to forest fires, the week has not brought unfavorabie features. Staple prices tend upward except in wool. There is an Improvement In the demand for money at Boston, New York and Chicago, but rates are not as high as usual in the season, nor the supply of commercial paper as large. Northwestern wheat carriers have arranged for necessary funds with Chicago banks at 56 cents. A striking feature at the West comes from Chicago, where the volume of business in all mercantile lines has increased, especially In dry goods, the total for the week being the heaviest for the season, notvlthstanding conservative purchasing in the market by Northwestern merchants. This is duplicated at St. Ixuls. where there has also been a larger volume of.-sales, both by jobbers and mtmifacturers, the total for August being equal to that In 1892. Milwaukee has experienced a decided improvement In demand for goods and money, while St. Paul reports that loss of life and destruction of villages and property by fire have checked purchases In that market. Minneapolis announces that the recent good volume of business there is holding its own. There Is reasonable trade at Louisville and Cincinnati, the normer reporting many visiting buyers. Increased sales- and manufacturers of woolens anticipating deliveries, while the latter reports that distribution of dry gofcds alone shows n gain this week. Improvement in some lines and a moderate volume of business in others, is ."haracterIstic at Kansas City, but at Cleveland there is a better demand for gcols in almost all lines. San Franeiso reports activity In all lines of business. The grand total of 8S.S3S.roo bushels of wheat available In the UnitPd States and Canada, Sept. 1. is 25 per cnt. larger than a year ago. and the heaviest stock ever held on a like date. The Increase 1:! America and Canadian available wheat stocks In August was 14.853,000 bushels, the largest August Increase on record, wlt.h the exception of August, 1S92. Wheat stocks afloat Tor and In Europe Sept. I amounted to 63,4.C bushels, a decrease of nearly one-fifth as compared with the year before. Within three months .stocks of wheat in and afloat for Europe have decreased 20 per cent., while those In the United States and Canada increased less than 10 per cent. Exports of wheat. United States and Canada, roth coasts (flour included), amount to 3.2u7.0no bushels during six business days ending Sept. 6. In the previous week the total was 4.640.CCO bushels, and in the first week of September. 1S93. It was 4,902.000 bushels: In 1892. 3.567,000 bushels, and in 1)1, 4.726.000 bushels. Exports of Indian corn to the Un'.ted States have dwindled to an average of a little over 100.000 bushels a week. In striking contrast with quantities abroad in corresponding weeks one, two and three years ago. All Southern cities reiort favorable features, Birmingham, with increased Mies and unimproved collections, the fewest. Galveston announces the best week's trade of the year, and Augusta says heavy cotton receipts have stimulated trade. In the region tributary to .ashville it is pointed out that the tenuency of prices generally is upward, but that Northern dealers prevent .advances by offering at what are called "panic prices."

BULLS PET TO FLIGHT

BARLEY SHIPPED FROM RUSSIA GIVES REARS GREAT COURAGE. Corn "Went Off 2 Centa, Wheat Loat a Cent, Ontu Were Lower nnd Provision Unchanged. CHICAGO.' Sept. 7.The public cablegrams do not often furnish a sensation, but to-day's London dispatch to the Board of Trade proved an exception. Two cargoes of Russian barley were reported- sold for shipment to New York at a price equivalent to about 46 cents for forty-eight pounds, duty paid, ex-vessel, at the latter port. That Russian Invasion at New York was of much advantage to the bears in the grain markets. Corn dropped 2c per bushel for September and October delivery, and wheat broke from SSc, for December, down to 57Q57Uc. closing lower than yesterday. September oats finished 4c lower and provisions practically unchanged. Wheat averaged strong during the forenoon. It opened with an addition to yesterday's closing price for December of from ViUo per bushel, but had some little difficulty in maintaining the advance, owing to occasional lapses of the corn market. Business was heavier than on the day before, but it was not far from reaching its usual autumnal gait. The receipts here and in the Northwest gave some Indications of falling off, 214 carloads being all that was reported here, 348 at Minneapolis and 133 at Duluth. The aggregate receipts of 993,000 bushels at the primary Western markets was. however, still too close to the 1.000.000 bushel mark to permit of much comfort to the bulls from any falling off of farmers' deliveries. Cable reported general firmness abroad and, for the most part, ascribed the strength to yesterday's advance here. The Atlantic export clearances were smaller than for any previous day of the week, amounting- in wheat and flour to 240,000 bushel3. A matter which caused considerable disquiet to the bulls in both wheat and corn was the reported "sale of two cargoes of Russian barley at Odessa for shipment to New York. Whether barley Is being Imported for feeding purposes or for malting, as claimed by some, it will, in any case, set free an equal quantity of American grain for one or the other of these purposes and that effect became all the more bearish the longer It was considered and finally i$ broke tooth corn and wheat. The opening price of December was at from SSftoSe. and after that the tendency was generally downward. It did not suffer mucn until after about two hours of the session had passed, but it broke badly after that, losing all but about c. of yesterday's advance, the closing quotation being 5757Mc. The corn market opened with a continuation of the buving fever which struck the crowd yesterday afternoon, but In the course of the session the speculative wind veered completely around and prices had a severe brteak.. September corn sold early at 5SHc and May opened at from 56l4c to 56VsC. Later, after the sensation of the day had worked itself well into the understanding of the crowd here and the outside people to whom It was telegraphed, the market broke badly. September dropped to 56V2C. October to 53c and May to SSUc, and there was but little subsequent recovery. The sensation was the sale of the Russian barley at Odessa, which also affected wheat, ft brought a new element Into the stock-feeedlng problem, which gave the bears an opportunity they wcra not slow to avail themselves of when its significance became fully understood. Srnne of the country holders realized profits on the opening bu1e and the local bull contingent sold heavily. Closing prices were near the bottom of the day's range, closing quotations being: September, 5Sc; October, 5SUc, and May, 554 55:c. For the first time In a loner while the oats market showed some tndeoendence. At the start prices were steady to a shade firmer, but instead of going still higher with the fluctuations in corn, thev gradually declined. Iater when corn fell off the easier feeling was still more notlceible. 'There were few buying orders and outride points were prominent in selling, consequently the decline. September opened at SOVrC. sold to 30'4c and weakened to 30c. closing at 297sc. The provision market was quiet ' but firm and did not take fright like the grain markets at the Russian Invasion. Hog receipts were light at 17,000 head, and only 10,000 are looked for to-morrow. Prices for the products were rather Inclined to advance, but in the end closed without change, except as regarded January pork, which is 5c lower.

The three buyers who are in some possession seem determined that prices shall not go up, but a rise is inevitable. For months past receipts have been markedly less than at the corresponding time last year, which should have isured fair prices, but they have continued to range from 75c to $1.50 per 100 lbs lower than in 1S93. Within the last month cattle values have appreciated from 50c to $1, and hogs have moved up $L25-ti'1.40. but prices for sheep are scarcely appreciably higher than they were at Jie lowest time.

No matter how great the craze for living pictures becomes on the stage they are not going to tre allowed in the magazines. In the manuscript of "Trilby," Du Maurier's superb novel, which has recently come to a conclusion in Harper's, there was a particularly graphic flescription of Trilby's anatomy as she poses for "the altogether." A council of war was held In the big publishing house, and it was unanimously agreed that this description was just a little too strong for the average Harper's young person. The scene was cut out of the story when It appeared In the magazine, but now that "Trilby" is to be issued in book form the descriotion will be given verbatim, and Mr. Du Maurier's shoulders, which are broad, will be held responsible. On the other hand, all reference to Joe Sibley, the artist, has been stricken from the book. Sibley, as he was described in the magazine, was an extremely disagreeable person, whasi characteristics were said to be identical with those of Whistler, the artist. Tdr. Whistler evidently thought so, too, for he has begun a suit for damages against Du Maurier, and has resiralned the Harpers frcm further publication of the character. But, after all, the readers of "Tnbly" In book form will lose nothing. The anatomy of so charming a girl as Trilby ought to prove ample compensation. May lie Useful L.nter.
