The long-expected rally in the stock market came yesterday, although, of course, the gains scored wera not commensurate with the. material declines that occurred last week. Business was fairly extensive, and was well distributed, and while the trend of prices was upward the movement was Irregular. An agreeable diversion to the long-prevailing professional character of the market was furnished by purchases for foreign account, and the execution of moderate commission house orders. The Initial source of tho rally was higher prices 1 T J 1 L t . . T in i..oimuii auu anuiiuKe iuiuiui.-m-s. hi a. number of Instances the fluctuations recorded were quite wide. The Important influences, bearing on the market were early strength and eventual ease In call-money rates and a steadily declining market for foreign exchange. The government crop report, as usual, was not published until aim time after the close of business. The opening was strong and higher, covering of shorts being a decided feature. The Improvements in the first few minutes of business extended to VjV.i per cent. In some of the leading shares, with suprar exceptionally rising 3Vi to S9-?. The bears took the aggressive, and vigorously raided the stock and also Manhattan. In the case of the last-mentfoned property a considerable nmount of long stock was dislod?d. Suar Fold off 31 to So. being adversely Influenced by the publication of cabled advices reporting, a sharp break In foreign sugars. Manhattan sold off 3 per cent, to 741?. and various other shares yielded to a material extent. Northwest figured for 2 to 8jH, and many new low records were established. Among the less active shares Brooklyn Union Gas was conspicuous bv a break of 4i to 71. An important influence at this stage was an advance in call-money iates to an extreme S per cent., which induced liquidation In many quarters. The market steadied for a time durlnj? the first hour, but another sharp raid was made, this tjme on the industrials. Tobacco yielded 4 to 51. and Leather preferred 21;. The last stock was alleged to be sold on a continued unfavorable market for sole leather. At the peneral low level purporting orders appeared In some stocks, and foreign buying and extensive covering turned the scale again. A feature of the rally was the execution of a number of small-lot buying orders. The rally was attended by rumors of a concerted protective "movement by substantial banking interests. The report was not confirmed, but nevertheless a material advance in prices occurred. The improvement was Increased toward the close by a drop in call money to 2 per cent. Large blocks' of stocks excharged hands, and purchases were made for the long account with more confidence than for some time past. The gains were notable in many cases. Sugar jumped 3 to fH; Tobacco. to 54-a; Manhattan. Z't to 7S; Lake Shore. 3U to 133: North vot. 3 to SSU; St. Paul. 27 to 2: New Jersey Central. 2U to and Western Union, to 73i. The closing was strong, with net gains of VnZ per cent, throughout. The bond market ruled irregular, with decided strength to the speculative issues. In svmpathv with the rallv in the stock market. Improvements of 12'; were scored, the last In Atchison fours. The high-priced lrtactlve mortgages continued to sap, with important concession generally. The sales were Jl.5n3.00u.

LOCAL ;RAIN AND PRODI' CK. DnllnenH In All Line the Lending? Keatiires-rroristons Firmer. In seemlnrly all lines trade Is very quiet, and to find a merchant who says trade Is up to his expectations cannot be done. The dry goods houses, " drurgUts. hardware merchants, seed men and even crocers r-icrt trade very slow, and on Commi.siji row the bottom Is clear out, as one of the commission men put it. There are no prices to quote, the fruits anl vegetables rolling In so fat they sell at the best figures possible, and that Is Invariably a low one. Conmission men fee no prosr-ect of an early improvement. The provlflon marlt In the last day or two has become firmer, and some descriptions of hes products advanced 'ic.

Philadelphia Telegraph. It Is bccomlrg dally more evident that the Insertion of a gold clause in leases, liens, mortgages, bonds and all other time contract? is to be a universal practice hereafter, and printers and stationers supplying forms for such contracts will be obliged presently to print in the gold provision, as a matter of course. The ipulistlc tnl anarchistic antagonism to the expiesslon of the ccnslderatlons of a contract In terms of gold Is Instructive with them, as contracts so defined cannot be repudiated by any resort to a 15 to 1 ratio or by any similar device. One of their most Important demand after free coinage Is for legislation to prevent the making of sccli contracts. This proposed attack on the rights of the citizen to make contracts does not trouble the populistlc fraternity in the leatt. With all their freedom shouting and liberty shrieking they never scruple In the least to trample on the rights of the Individual, and the rights of private contract have no sanctity in their eyes. It la to be rioted as a reasonable probability that in the Southern and Western States, where they are in control of legislation, or where thev hold the balance of power, laws against ;p-ld contracts will be demanded by the Populists, and these will be passed by subservient politicians. That such laws are unconstitutional nnd cannot be enforced makes no difference with the Ha.s of people given over to repudiating Ideals. T.iey will have their local stay Inws. Constitution or no Constitution, and the business world may as well accept that conclusion and act In accordance therewith. The effect will be that In communities antagonicttc te gold contracts and refusing to enferee them in the courts, no contracts will be made. The business world will repudiate the repudlators and will decline to have anything to do with them. The local stay laws will be effective, even If declared to be unconstitutional, for the renrcn th business men will not care to fight for their rlgU .. Thy will simply keep away from the communities where the disposition of the people Is reflected In legislation to facilitate repudiation. The defiant and blatant Bryanltes who are threatening to impose vengeful penalties on parties to gold contracts should be made to understand that they are advocating a cours: that will cut them off from coinmunleatlcn with the commerce of the country. Gronnrs from the Earth. Pearson's Weekly. A singular phenomenon occurs on the borders of the Red sea at & place called Nakous. where the Intermittent underground sounds have been heard for an unknown number of centuries. It Is situated at about half a mile's distance from the shore, whence a long reach of sand ascends rapidly to a height of almost 30 feet. This reach 1 eight feet vide and resembles an amphitheater, being railed In by low rocks. The sounds coming up from the ground at this place reeur at Intervals of about an hour. They at first resemble a low murmur, but be. fore long there Is heard a loud knocking, somewhat like the strokes of a bell, and which, at the end of five mtnutes, become so strong as to agitate the sand. The explanation of this curious phenomenon given by the Arabs Is that there Is a convent under the ground, and there are sounds of the bell which the monks ring for prayer. Scientists attribute the sounds to suppressed " volcanic action, probably to the bubbling of gas or vapors underground.

FIRM WHEAT MARKET

TIP OX Till' GOVERNMENT REPORT GAV13 DILLS COURAGE. Corn nnd Oats "Were Weaker, hut Provision Advanced, Pork Scoring a Gain of 37 l--c. CHICAGO, Aug. 10,-The terrible heat, a stringency of money and the knowledge that a government crop report would be out In the afternoon, all tended to restrict business of a speculative character. Wheat and provisions were firm for the most part; corn and oats weak. Wheat closed unchanged since Saturday for September and VsC and 4c higher for December. Corn and oats closed Uc and ?8c lower, respectively, for the day. Fork is 37V.C per barrel higher; lard is up 7zC and ribs from .10c to .12c. There was a moderate trade in wheat early, but not much doing later, the range being ft?ic. The tone at the start was easy and the market sold off, rallied, then again weakened, but closed a shade better. The easy tone at the opening was due to the action of stocks in New York and the better local, as well as Northwestern, receipts. The small India shipments out inspection and advance of Jd In Liverpool had something of a steadying tendency, but the absence of any outside trade was rather against the price and values receded. Northwestern receipts were about twice those of a year ago. The decrease in the visible was also tlisapppointlng. There would probably have been little chance In the visible had not Milwaukee decreased, owing to an elevator becoming irregular. Closing cables here again higher all around. The tip on the government report was given out late in the session and the condition given out as 78 on spring wheat. This helped to strengthen the market. Corn trading was spasmodic, but a fair volume of business was transacted. The feeling was llrm at the start, after which a weak spell set in, and final figures showed lie loss. The prospect of somewhat cooler conditions west, liberal receipts, and action of wheat tended to weaken the price. The selling came chiefly from commission houses and professionals, some long property coming out, the buying being by shorts and room traders. There was a weak feeling In oats and a decline of 34c, and a tame close with prices o above the bottom. .The depression was with wheat and the big receipts. The latter Induced free local selling and the market had no good support. September was offered with the most freedom. Oats by sample were slow, weak and lSc lower for common light weight and poor generally, and steady to Uc lower for choice old. Offerings were larger and the quality showed no Improvement. Provisions were easy and quite strong near the end. There was a noticeable scarcity of offerings, and that more than any enlargement of the demand was responsible for the Increased price. September pork opened at $.ZtYi. compared with Jti.20 at the close Saturday. It advanced gradually but steadily, and was bringing $0.60 near the end. finally leaving oil at $Vi.572. Lard and ribs were also tirm, but the advance In lard only amounted to from fie to 7Uc. while ribs left off He higher for September and 10c higher for January.

Patrons of street cars have noticed recently that many motormen are wearing colored eyeglasses. This is an Indication that the strong reflection of the sun's rays from the street pavements has an injurious effect upon the motorman's eyes. It Is probable that a few years' experience with the electric car will show other Injurious effects to the man on the front platform. The constant mental strain under which he Is kept and the necessity of supporting his own weight much of the time on one foot must le a severe draft upon the physical energies. It would seem possible to relieve this strain somewhat. If every conductor was aleo a trained motorman the motorman could make frequent changes with the conductor and have a chance to recuperate. A change of duties would bv; a relief to both. The question is not rne of humanity to the motorman only but c.f safety to the public as well. A man who Is mentally and physically wearied by the constant strain put on him may at n critical moment lose control of a death-dealing electric car. Tlie Impossible. Detroit Free Press. P.e my wife." 'It Is impossible, Alphonse. "You Jest. "No. Alphonse." "Darlinr." And so they were married, for whatever l Impossible is Just about nuts for contemporary fiction.
