Yesterday’s New York stock market was characterized by great irregularity, prices of many stocks remaining remarkably istable, even on large transactions, while the price movement of others was wide and erratic to the last degree and quite independent of any general influence or harmony of tendency with others. Sugar was the sensational feature and covered a range of nearly 8 points during the day. There was no news regarding the stock received during the day that was not known at the opening, but the speculative traders drew some deduction from the facts already known that led to very excited trading in the stock. The speculation turned on the probable benefits to the industry from the Treasury Department’s interpretation of the clause of the tariff bill discriminating against sugar from countries that pay an export bounty. The belief that this clause would be administered so as to insure the exclusion from competition of Dutch refined sugar gave Sugar stock its strength. The stock jogged along very comfortably on the up grade to noon, covering about a point in the rise. The price then made a sensational rush upwards by leaps of t 4, % and even a full point at a time to 155%, the reaction being comparatively small. Just In the closing transactions the price jttmped again to 157 and fell back a point. Tobacco also rose 2% in the final transactions, apparently in sympathy .with Sugar. Sales of Sugar reached 70.000 shares. The usually active railroad shares which showed a free price movement were the exception to the rule. The decline in the grangers carried Burlington down nearly a point, but the net changes In the group do not exceed %, the amount of the gain shown by Rock Island, Omaha and Chicago Great Western. The same immobility was manirested in the internationally listed stocks, Atchison preferred. Chesapeake & Ohio. Northern Pacific preferred. Southern preferred. Union Pacific and Wabash preferred seeming to be withheld from moving either up or down by some pressure. The same was true of Louisville & Nashville until late In the day. when the stock moved tip a point, but reacted partly. Some of these stocks were very largely dealt in, but the transactions failed to affect the price. Missouri Pacific was an exception and moved up 2 points somewhat irregularly. closing at only a slight reaction. The so-called specialties w r ere favorites in the speculation. Pacific Mail gaining over a point, Chicago Gas nearly as much, and the Cotton OH stocks over 2 points, Colorado Fuel, 1%; Consolidated Gas about 2; Detroit Gas, 2; Laclede Gas, 2%; Metropolitan Traction a point; Starch firsts preferred the same; New' Central Coal, 1%. and Oregon Navigation a point. The Lake Erie & western stocks continued their upward course, the common gaining 1% and the preferred 2%. London was quite a heavy seller, stocks sold for that account being estimated at 25,000 shares. In the bond market the sales exceeded $4,500,000 and were strong generally, especially the Reading fours. Government new fours were bid up %. The following table, prepared by L. W.

Yesterday closed a month in which trade In several lines was highly satisfactory and in most lines better than had been anticipated on the Vat day of August. September is enured umlar

unusually favorable auspices. Money is flowing into the seefton which buys its goods in this market. Old bills are well out of the way and retail merchants need goods and the public is in condition to buy more treely than at any time in the last three years. In most, lines the range of prices is low, but in nearly every article the tendency is to an advance. This will apply to staple groceries, dry goods, hardware, iion, leather, hides, drugs, and, in fact, to nearly every article which might be named. With these healthy conditions and the firm tone to so many descriptions of goods, it is not too much to expect that the business of the month entered to-day will be the most satisfactory of any September since 1892, the banner year with Indianapolis wholesale merchants. Provisions and produce markets are in unusually strong position for this season of the year. On Commission row on articles shipped in here prices are well maintained, but in tne way of vegetables prices arc low. The outlook for a good September business, even with commission merchants, is very favorable. The local grain markets were the most active last month of any in the last three years. More grain was handled by the dealers and commission merchants than for a long period and the advancing tendency which prevailed most of the month gave a good deal of snap to the grain traffic.

At East Tawas, a great deal of damage was done to vegetation and the remainder of the crop standing was ruined. The frost through that section of the country was general. ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 31.—Reports of frost come from a few points in southern Minnesota and North Dakota. Late tender crops and garden truck were killed or badly damaged, but none of the reports speak of very serious injury to corn, except one from southern Minnesota, which represents the damage as being heavy to corn and lat’e flax. Wheat is unaffected, being mostly harvested. DUBUQUE, la., Aug. 31.—A light frost, the first of the season, has visited, this section, but did no damage. VITAL STATISTICS—AUG. 31. Denthit.

STEADY GRAIN MARKET TRADING COMPARATIVELY DULL, W HEAT SCORING GAIN OF 1 1-2 C. —♦ Cable* Were Higher and Seaboard Shipment* Large-Corn Active and Provision* Lower. CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—Grain and provision markets to-day gave further indications of recovery from the fever of last week and trading was chiefly characterized by its dullness. Com was perhaps the most active of all the markets. Wheat closed higher. Corn was about unchanged; oats %c lower and provisions unchanged to TVsC lower. Wheat opened firm at an advance of from %c to lc per bushel for December. The only apparent reason was the strong Liverpool market. The opening quotations from Liverpool gave wheat futures at %and advance and the next cablegram at *%d further improvement, making before trading started here. The tendency during the next two hours was to grind off a little of the starting advance. The market mill was not running with its recent velocity, so that the fractions came off reluctantly and when the bears ceased grinding out short wheat the reduction that had meantime been effected was partly re-estab-lished. September was only occasionally heard from and then it was at some little discount from December; sometimes i/gc and again it would bo %e under. December started at 90Vi@90%c, decl'ned to 89 7 /sC, recovered again to 90%c and then had a more severe decline, getting down to 89f£c as the bottom of the next depression. This was due in a great part to reports from the seaboard that foreigners were sellers there. While futures of wheat at Liverpool opened higher, spot wheat was reported Id lower. Continental markets were said to have opened at some advance and Liveroool cabled that Russian offerings were small. The London Mark Bane Express put the Russian wheat crop decidedly below the average. Contract stocks in Chicago rfegular elevators Saturday evening were only 664.000 bushels. Chicago receipts were 377 carloads, only 36 of which were contract, and the quantity inspected out of store was 150,000 bushels. Minneapolis reported 340 cars and Duluth 221, a total of 561, compared with 1,396 the corresponding day of 1896. Atlantic port clearances were again very heavy at 1,025.000 bushels in wheat and flour, of which 673,000 bushels were in the raw grain. Closing cablegrams reported the final changes for the day in foreign markets as follows: Liverpool, California wheat oil spot, Id higher; American red and No. 1 spring on spot, Id lower; futures from %and to Id higher; Paris. 10 centimes lower for August and unchanged for later delivery; Antwerp, 50 centimes, or 2%c per bushel higher. New York later reported a better tone to the cables received there from the United Kingdom and some few acceptances of offers cabled. The market was small and of a scalping character after the first hour and the pit was deserted by a large number of the most active scalpers, who transferred their attention to corn. The closing price for December was 89%c. Corn was firm within a %e range, the principal motive for the strength being the continued dry weather. Smaller receipts than expected were influential at the opening. A good deal of short corn was sold during the morning, but after the most urgent of the shorts had finished realizing caused a gradual decline. Thoman’s September report made the prospective yield 1,958,000.000 bushels. Receipts were L--567 cars. Charters were for 1,685,000 bushed. December opened %@%c higher at 32%@ 32%c. It kept for a long time within about that range, then yielded to 32c and closed at 32®32%c. Trade on the whole was fairly active. A range of %c was covered by prices in oats. Most of the rather limited business done was in the way of exchanging, elevator people buying September and selling May, while the general run of bulls did the opposite. The tendency was toward easiness. Receipts were 483 cars. Charters were for 100,000 bushels. December opened unchanged at 20 1 /ic. It ranged between 20%c and 20%c, closing at the latter price. A fairly active trade was done in provisions at average slightly over yesterday's closing, but the close was generally at a slight reduction. Trading was mostly in tb" way of changing. Cudahy is supposed to have covered September and sold October and December. Some of the bull packers sold, particularly outside packers. Higher prices at the yards and the strong corn market were the sustaining influences during the morning. At the close December pork was 5c lower at $8.97%: December lard unchanged at $4.95 and December ribs unchanged at $5.10. October and September ribs closed 2%@7%e lower. Estimated receipts for Wednesday— Wheat, 350 cars; corn, 1,350; oats, 400; hogs, 32.000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows: Open- Hieh- Low- ClosArticles. ing. est. ost. ing.

WASHINGTON/ Aug. 31.—The Weather Bureau in its report of crop conditions for the week ending at 8 a. m., Aug. 30, says: “In the lake region and New England the week has been too cool, and in the States of the central valleys too dry for best results. In the middle and south Atlantic and gulf States, and generally through the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast regions the week has been favorable. Early corn is maturing rapidly in lowa. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, but it has made slow’ progress in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the late crop generally needs warmth and moisture. In Ohio early com is maturing nicely, and will be ready to cut in about two weeks. Cutting is becoming general in Kansas. In Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas the crop promises to be very short owing to drought. Asa result of generous rains of the previous week, late corn in the gulf States has been generally improved. Tlie Canadian "Wheat Crop. TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 31.—Advices received here are that by to-night ail of the 25,000,000 bushels of wheat in Manitoba will be cut. There was no frost sufficient to damage the wheat in Manitoba this season and next week will probably see the bulk of wheat threshed. The crop will be the largest in the history of the Canadian Northwest. The yield will run as high as thirty-five bushels to the acre, while in Ontario it is as high as forty. The total wheat crop of Canada this year will be fully sixty million bushels of prime wheat. * AT NEW YORK. Ruling Price* In Produce at the Seahoard’* Commercial Metropoli*. NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—Dealings in wheat today were confined within a cent range. The market had a fairly steady tone, but no speculative feature. Continental houses sold and showed cables not in sympathy with the steadiness here. English markets were firmer, but quiet. Enormous seaboard wheat and flour clearances more than offset the enlarged movement of spring and winter wheat at interior points. Crop news had little effect on the market. Export trade was disappointing. About twelve loads were reported, mostly Kansas hard wheat. December opened %e higher at 94%c, touched 95c during the day, dropped to 94%c and closed at 94%c, or %e higher than it closed last night. Total transactions were only 3,230,000 bushels. Corn maintained a steady tone all day in the face of rather heavy selling pressure on the part of several big Western longs. Local demand was stimulated by dry weather, stronger cables and lighter receipts than expected. December sold from 87%c to 37%c, closing at 37%c. which was %c higher than last night, ijentlment locally continues bullish on com. Flour- Receipts. 42.388 brls; exports. 61,310 brls.

Wool. BOSTON. Aug. 31.—The wool market here is even stronger than last week and prices are still advancing. The demand continues good and nianulacturers are disposed to buy freely. Fleece wools are doing little, although supplies available are small and dealers are making no efforts to sell, as there is a feeling that these wools will do better later in the season. The sales of territory wools continue in the lead. Fine medium ana fine on the scoured basis are calling tor 42©44c, while choice staple lots would go considerably higher it they could be obtained.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—The dry goods market shows no change, though the tone was well sustained in nearly all grades. The demand for staple cottons is as pronounced as in the late past and prices are as firm. The spot buying is scarcely as pronounced in any grade, but mail orders are still of fair proportions. Woolen and worsted goods for men's wear and in dress goods are in steady, well-sustained request at fair prices. Jobbers report a fair business in all departments. In staple cottons the demand for domestic use is unchanged and scarcely abated In either brown or bleached goods. Coarse colored cottons are firm. Print cloths are again firm and without change of moment. The quotation is still 2%c for spot extras, with contracts refused at that figure. The sales of odd goods have been of fair proportions, but the demand for extras has suffered a decline owing to strong prices. Prints have not been advanced in any grade. Nevertheless there is great strength in ail the staple grades and the impression prevails that speedy increases in nrices are imminent.
