Xa Demand for Shares on the Sew York Stock Exchange Locul Markets Without Features. At New York, Saturday, money on call was easy at 1 per cent. x-rime mercantile paper, Zi1V ,4 per rem. Sterling exchange was dull and easy. with actual business in bankers bills at 4l.W;g-t.3Q-H for demand and at H83l4 for sixty days; posted rates, $1.90 4.01: commercial bills, Silver certificates, 67,77U. Bar silver, Mexican dollars, 53,ic. At' London bar silver was S0 7-15d. The weekly statement or the associated tanks shows the following changes: Reserve, incrcare..... 52,233,100 Loans, increase ''l00 Specie, Increase 2'70O Legal tenders. Increase S.oosi&oo Deposits, increase 3,546,000 , Circulation, Increase 81,000 The banks now hold $11,266,873 In excess of requirements of the 25-per-cent. rule. Total sales of stocks Saturday on New Tork 'Change were 60.0G2 shares, including: American Sugar, 2.300: American Tobacco, 21.S09; Burlington. 2,000; Chicago Gas, 6,400; Distilling. 1.7C0; Manhattan consolidated. 2,100; Reading, 1,500; St. Paul, 3,600. The exports of specie from the port of York for'the week were: Gold, $3,552,000: silver. $503,213. The imports were: Gold, $46.S22; silver, 562,380; dry goods, $3,073,733; .general merchandise, 18,207.917." The stock market opened quiet and generally a fraction higher. The usual' raid on Tobacco was soon begun and a decline Tollowed of 3H per cent., with a rally of but V per cent. The preferred eased off lU.per cent. Manhattan, which has also fceea under pressure of late, yielded I per cent, and recovered per cent. The haviest of these shares did not influence heaviness of these shares did not influence the general speculation, and values appreciated under the leadership of Chicago Gas. whicn gained 1. The market closed dull and firm with most of the stocks traded in a fraction above. .Friday i?!g?tt-- figures, while- Leather preferred gained 1 per cent, and Chicago Gas, 1 per cent. Brooklyn Elevated brought 21U. against 13 the last preceding sale. The volume of business of the week shows a decline compared with that of "the preceding six days, which were among the dullest of the year. This stagnation is to be accounted for partly by- the absence from the street on vacation trips of many of the leading operators, but transactions are also restricted by reason of uncertainty as to the. movement of gold to Europe and the immediate future of the exchange market. These questions at present have more influence on the share speculation than any other and speculators are rarefully watching for indications of a return of ease in the foreign exchange market and consequently for the cessation of gold exports. The withdrawals of gold from the treasury for export during July were only $l,323.0u0 and. thus far in August I7.10J.Oju, and $1,575,000 additional were withdrawn, by Canadian banks, making the totil withdrawals JlO.OCO.OuO. But the government bond syndicate deposited $3,230. COO In gold with the Treasury Department for which it took legal tenders so that the net loss of gold to the government is only $00,000. With the gold reserve above the hundred million point and the period approaching when the balance of trade will be on the American side, there is little to be feared 'in the outflow of a few millions of gold within the next few. weeks or in the loss of some of the treasury gold reserves. Crop reports during the week were conflicting and fears of frost in the corn belt brought about selling, of the grangers, but mainly for the short account. "Humors were current at one time that an amicable adjustment had been reached of the anthracite coal roads differences and a rapli appreciation in the values of these shares took place, but the statements rroved to be unfounded and a reaction ensued. The alleged proposed organization of an opposition to the Tobacco Trust, the avowed Intention of the Attorney-general of Illinois- to push his suit against the trust and the heavy selling of the shares by a prominent bar operator, tended to create an uneasy feeling among holders of the stock and a slump followed of 10 per cent, to 104, with a recovery only of ' per cent. The general market was without feature and prices moved irregularly, but the losses are more numerous than the gains. The more important changes are- as follows: Declines Lake Erie & Western preferred. 4; Consolidated Gas. Z'. and Sugar preferred and Tobacco preferred. 2 per cent. The tuiles of the "week aggregated 762,400 shares and 136 stocks' were traded in. . , Bonds on Saturday were quiet and Irregular, but the more important changes are gains. The sales were $CGS,000. The bond operations of the week resulted generally in but slig-ht changes. The speculation was characterized by considerable strength in the Oregon Short-line and the Oregon Navigation issues. The sales were $7,637,000, and 240 bonds tigured in the transactions. The. principal changes of the week are: AdvancedChicago & Erie llrsts, 7Vz per cent.; Cincinnati. Hamilton c Dayton fc-ur-and-a-halfs, 5; Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago fours 4: Illinois Central, middle, dlvis.on registered fives. 3,. . The .-peculation in tr vernment bonds was confined to sale of $tt.00O, registered fours, and $r.ooo, coupon lives. State securities were dull, with sales of $12,000.

Dullest 1Veek Trinle in 3Iontha vlth Prices Iluiinp: Easy. ,The common remark on the wholesale streets and on Commission row yesterday was that It had been the dullest week's trade in several montln. The dullness Is in some measure attributed to the extremely hot weather during the entire week. Then the commission men have home produce to cut into! their business. As a consequence, fruits and vegetables are in large supply and selling low. Prices are ruling lower than at the corresponding period last year. Doubtless cooler weather wlJ! help trade some with the commission men. The hot weather Is beginnnlng to affect the poultry and egg markets, and a break in prices is probable on Monday. The seed men are really busy and employing extra men to fill orders. With each year Indianapolis gains importance as a seed market. The wholesale grocers report trade quiet, more so than during the period of what was called the depressed times, but the dullness does not weaken prices. The iron market has reached seemingly a firm and steady basis, but further advances in nails will not be a surprise. The flour market is more active, but prices do not improve very materially. The dry goods houses do not expect to do much in the first half of August, and are not disappointed with their slow trade. The local grain market was fairly active all the week, wheat and corn having been In good'request with increased receipts of corn. Oats were dull. Track bids on Saturday ruled as follows: Wheat No. 2 red, 66c; Xo. 3 red, 60c; wagon wheat, 65c.

COliN IS ADVANCING

ACTIVE TRADING AT CHICAGO RESULTED 1 A GAl.N OF A CE.M. "Wheat Wa, WenU nml Cloned with n Loss of 1 1-Si Onts Gain 3-Sc nnd Provision I'nchanged. CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Thc elements have been unpropitlous for the corn plant, and that was recognized in the pit to-day by an advance of 1 cent per bushel in the price. The strength of corn helped wheat, which later was very heavy for a time, but came out In the end with a loss of onljlUc for the day. September oats closed higher, and Seprfmber provisions finished with little change. September wheat, which closed at 66Hc yesterday, was freely offered at the opening at 66c, and very soon at 63"c, some little being even let go at C54c before any reaction took place. The Liverpool market was quoted dull at Hld lower; Antwerp, 121,2C lower, and Berlin from V mark to ?i mark higher. The spring wheat receipts at Minneapolis gave Indications of increasing and there was nothing unseasonable about the weather. The primary market receipts altogether were again small, and in as great contrast as eyer when placed against the last year's. The strength in corn caused a sharp reaction from the low figures and kept the market fairly steady all day. Shipments from Chicago for tho week summed up 1,073,733 bushels, against Sou,67S bushels on the similar period of the year before. The Argentine shipments for the week were ratwi only 92,0u0. Clearances from both coasts for the week in wheat and flour together amounted to 1.824.0U0 bu, against 1,550,000 one week before. The trading was of . the same local scalping character as - before and the fluctuations were ' confined to moderate bounds. The first prices already reported were at the lowest of the day and tkey were succeeded toy a rise to 66TsC. After that the price was retained close around 666 and 66Vc was the latest trading price. Tho news from the country about the damaee being done to corn by. drought and heat caused that article to be in request to-day at a good advance In Its value. That started shorts to buying and there were enough of them to make it fairly lively in the pit during the greater part of the session. September, which closed yesterday at 37c, opened at 3SUc and after a reaction to 38c advanced irregularly to 293sc, and closed at 38c. . . Oats followed corn in the strength noticeable in that market. Shorts were all more or less anxious during the bulge and several quite large lines were covered. September opened at 2020c. sold up to 21VsC, declined to 20c and closed at that price. - Provisions were wanted at some Improvement in price during the most of the session, but in the end there was no material ain except in January pork, which is 12V2C higher than on the day before, and January ribs, which are .05c higher. John Cudahy was said to have been a good buyer of all kinds of product. Estimated cars for Monday v heat, 80; corn, 700; oats, 235; hogs, 20.000.

'That all money paper, gold and silvershould be Issued by the national government only, and made legal tender for all payments, public or private; and in amount adequate to the demands of business. "We are unalterably opposed to increasing our already great burden of national debt by the issue of Interest-bearing bonds in times of peace, and we deplore and condemn the recent action of the present administration at Washington, aided and abetted by the Republican party, net only for selling our national credit at a price below its market value, but .especially for surrendering to the Rothschilds and other bankers our financial independence for six months -by a secret contract, the Infamy of which is without parallel in our history. We demand that Congress make it unlawful for any note, bond, mortgage or other obligation to stipulate for payment in gold only, or in any other particular kind of lejral-tender money of the United States. "That 'we believe that any business requiring a public franchise belongs to the whole people, and that laws should be enacted looking to the gradual absorption and ownership of all such monopolies by municipal. State or national government. . "That we demand the Initiative and referendum in all the important matters of municipal. State and national legislation. "That we denounce the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the t'nited State3 la reference to the Income tax law, and the Imprisonment uf American citizens without trial by Jury."

WILHELM home again

THE KA!SCR 11171X11X8 TO nnilLIS FROM HIS SUMMER JALXT. German Fresa Afflicted with n Had Ccse of AnglophoMn-Oleraorlal Celebrations, of llattles. (Copyright, 1ST3. by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, Aug. 17. The dog day3 are over and things are getting lively again in Berlin. The Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, and the Prussian Minister of the Interior, Baron Von Koeller, havo returned. In addition, tho Emperor arrived at Willpark station on his return from England, at 8 o'clock this morning. His Majesty looked remarkably well and there is every .evidence that his yachting and shooting expeditions have agreed with him. He is considerably browned by the sun and is as full of energy as ever. The Emperor, however, will only stay here a couple of days In order to be present at the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the monument to the memory of his grandfather, Emperor William I. which takes place at the Schlos? Freihelt to-mcrrow. The ceremony will be highly impresslvt. The German University students socleties will take part In it with their ban. ners. The Emperor, later In the day, will be present at the celebrations of the First Guards Regiment In merai .y of the battle of of Gravelotte, at Potsdam, ani on Monday the big memorial celebration occurs on the Teraplehof field, where forty thousand veterans will parade. His Majesty will be present there, and will afterwards go to Wilhelmshohe. where the Empress Is staying with the younger children. Her Majesty is slowly recovering her health, and it is expected that the Emperor will remain a week at Wilhelmshohe. Politically, the relations between Germany and England have almost monopolized public attention, and are the occasion for a general discussion by the entire press. This has been brought about by several editorials In the London Standard and Dally News, which were extremely distasteful to Germans. In fact, the Hanover Courier even went so far as to say that the Emperor's periodical visits to England were not approved by the nation, as they merely served to increase British Insolence. An article In the Standard, especially advising the Era Seror that his aim ought to be to show imself worthy of his maternal 'ancestry, has aroused a perfect storm of indignation. In fact, the entire press has given vent to a violent burst of Anglophobia, with Prince Bismarck's Hamburger Nachrichten in the van. But even the official press. Including the North . German Gazette, has joined in the outcry, and there is no doubt that Just now England is the country most hated by Germans. The memorial celebrations of the battles fought against the French In August, 1870, continue to be he order of the day. The battle of St. Private was celebrated to-day at Potsdam, throughout Saxony and in a number of the smaller Prussian garrison cities. At Spandau a number of veterans' associations are giving a big fete. The various battlefields around Metz are being visited by thousands of veterans and visitors, and a monument has beem placed on the battlefield of Vlonville, In memory of Prince Frederick Charles. From the whole of Germany wreaths and. other decorations have been sent by the tens of thousands In order to decorate the graves of the German soldiers on different battlefields. Everything Is being done by the German authorities along the line of the frontier of France In order to avoid hostile meetings between French and Germans, and passing the frontier line is discouraged and not permitted at all In the case of large parties or bodies of men carrying insignia. The annual pilgrimage of the German Catholics from the Rhine provinces to Lourdes has been forbidden out of deference to French feelings. The City Council of Berlin has voted tne sum of 50,000 marks for a public celebration of Sedan day, the only members opposing the motion being the Socialists, under Vogtherr, who spoke of "the bloody deeds of war needlessly undertaken." The city councils of Cologne. Dresden, Barmen and Stuttgart have voted 30.000, 25,000, 20,000 and 6,000 marks, respectively, for the same purpose. Dortmunde and a number of other cities will stimulate large sums of money to the veterans, and Herr Krupp. the famous big gun manufacturer, has given 1,000,000 marks to his workmen's pension fund In honor of the present memorial time. In addition. Roesicke and other prominent brewers are making presents to the veterans who dre among their employes. Prince Bismarck who has declined to take part In to-morrow's fetes, is still enJoying absolute rest. He occupies himself soley with the affairs of his estate and declines to see all deputations. He Is not expected to make an exception In favor of the German-American veterans who are now visiting here. The Crown Prince, Frederick William, on Monday next will be placed a la suite of the Second Grenadier Regiment, in which the Emperor served with the rank of lieutenant when he was a youth, and of which he is still colonel. The quartz strata in the Taunus mountains, between Loden and Wiesbaden, has been discovered to be auriferous. Specimens which have been tested havo shown gold in appreciable quantities.
