There was a stirring of speculative interest at New York yesterday which gave an appearance of greater animation to the ctock market than It has shown for two weeks past. The strength centered In the Bteel group for the greater part of the day, but In the later dealings It extended throughout ths list. The list of active Stocks was not . a Ions one, but such as were dealt in show uniform gains extending to a point or over that in many cases. The gains were generally held and profittaking made only slight inroads, the close being firm, though quiet and near the top. Although the number of issues dealt in as not large, the trading was not nearly eg concentrated In a few stocks as for some time past. In the steel group the gains ranged from a point to 2 and 2Vi. the latter figures in National Steel and Steel und Wire. There was no exception In the group to the upward tendency, which was due to the reports of the growing demand for iron and iron products of pretty much all grades. The progress of negotiations for the settlement of wage schedules which ere in progress was probably reflected also In the movement. Generally speaking, the demand for stocks is partly ascribable to the requirements of the short interest which was made uneasy by the check to the decline effected yesterday. Their disquiet was increased by several incidents of the day. , Prices received an opening impetus from the better, tone of the London market. which was encouraged by the reported successes of General Roberts against the lioers. Actual buying for London account was on a small scale. The upward course of London discount was checked, however, and the hop was entertained that with the conclusion of the Stock Exchange settlement there, money difficulties are obviated for the immediate future. The statements of railroad earnings for the day were good. Including the Wabash annual report, showing a prosperous year, and the St. Paul report for July. The threat of a strike of the anthracite coal miners did not seem to affect the market, and Erie first preferred, in tho group of coalers, advanced U. The homeward course from summer vacations in Europe of a number of the influential men in Wall street movements was a sentimental Influence for the advance, the room traders, who still absuib practically all the dealing?, seeking to anticipate the coming operations which they fcuppose these men will embark upon. The conditions la the money market remain unchanged. Icalings in bonds continued dull and the market irregular. Total sales, par value, Jl.075.tfA).

Trade is moving: along so much in the same rut from day to day that it leaves little room for comment. The relations between the wholesale and the retail merchants are seldom more pleas ant than at the- present time. Bills are paid with unusual promptness. The retail merchant is not overloaded with old stock and buys cautiously to meet the immediate requirements. With traveling: salesmen visiting them frequently and the fast freight service, as compared with a few years ago, goods are delivered so soon after purchased that the carrying of large stocks is unnecessary. In staple groceries prices rule steady on nearly all lines. The iron and hardware markets are steady, and it is thought the bottom In prices has been reached. The provision market is active at the revised prices of Monday last. Produce is firm and in good request. Fruits and vegetables are selling in large quantities. Still, arrivals are so large that considerable fruit is thrown away on account of it rotting. Dry goods merchants report their trade improving and prices more settled. The local grain market is dull on light receipts. All cereals are In active request at th? following prices on track, as furnished by the secretary of the Board of Trade: Wheat No. 2 red, 74'c; No. 2 red. on milling frtlght. 744c; No. 3 red. 70i'g72!jc; AugU3t, 74ViC track; wagon wheat. 74,fec.

WHEftT AND CORN SOAR

FOHMi:il HISIIS 7-SC AXD TIIC LAT TEU CLOSCS 1 1-2C HIGHER. Heavy Cnnh IJunIness the Prime Factor in Booming; PricesOats rirm ont Quiet CHICAGO. Aug. 13. A big cash business was the prime factor in wheat to-day, September closing vie higher than Monday. September corn closed lc up, and oats a shade improved. Provisions were fairly steady. ' Strength and activity characterized the wheat market nearly the whole session. The excellent cash business was the broad foundation stone on which tho strength was founded. Cash salen here were 700,000 bushels, and the seaboard reported S3 loads taken for export. Export clearings for two days were SDS.OOO bushels. ' Bromhill estimated an Import requirement for the United Kingdom of 150.000,000 bushels, and the English crop probabilities were made 12,000,000 bushels less than last year's, making the crop the smallest since 1893. Liver pool closed vd higher. Domestic news was but little changed, decreasing Southwestern receipts, rather unfavorable weather In the Northwest and rather heavy re ceipts. September opened at 74Vic to 74'8c, a range of prices due to the Instantaneous consideration of the foreign bullishness and the heavy local receipts. The foreigners soon got the best of it, and under a gen eral demand, in which shorts were clamorous, the market advanced to 7314'g75Uc. Having started upward, there was scarcely any reaction, and the close was strong, September 'Ac higher, at 7J7Gc. Primary receipts were 1,421,000 bushels, compared with CS6.000 bushels last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 233 cars, against 252 last week . and 272 a year ago. Local receipts (two days) were 91ü cars, 68 of contract grade. Corn was active and strong, speculation for a rise in old crop futures, owing to a scarcity of old corn, being the ruling motive, as it has been for some time past. Liverpool was up Hid to ld, and the seaboard reported 93 loads taken for export. Cash sales here were 500,000 bushels, nearly all for direct foreign shipment. The shipping demand would have absorbed more than it did had holders been willing to make even slight concessions in price. There was a further decrease in stocks, the local contract now being only 321,000 bushels, while the stocks in public and private elev ators are but 1,585,000 bushels. Cash corn acceptances showed some gain to-day, but were still light. Local receipts were 457 cars. September sold between 29c and 41c, and closed Hfcc up, at 41c Oats were firm, but quiet. The strength of other grains sustained the market in the face of some liberal offerings. A good demand for export was reported, the quantity sold being put at 300,000 bushels. Receipts were 788 cars. September sold between 21,c and 21?4c, closing a shade higher, at 215dS2P;;c. Provisions were quiet and fairly steady. The ease and grace with which the market absorbed liberal offerings of lard from commission houses was the feature in the pit. September pork sold between $10.97Va and $10.90, and closed 5c lower, at $10.90; September lard between $6.70 and $6.63. closing 2V2'a5c down, at $6.65, and September ribs between $7.05 and $7, with the close 2Vac higher, at $7.02. Estimated receipts to-morrow Wheat, 455 cars; corn, 110 cars; oats, 360 cars; hogs, 22.000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows:

The. American Wool Reporter will say to-morrow: The demand for wool has been quiet the past week and the marke: has, on the whole, favored the buyer. Some of the manutacturers to whom government con tracts have been awarded have been In and Pur chased some fair sired lines of wool, but the general Inquiry has not been at all active. Oa some lines of territories buyers can negotiate on slightly softer terms than they could a couple of weeks ago. The demand, such as it is, has run to medium and low wools, notably scoured wools. territories. Texas and three-eighths-blood fleeces. Manufacturers are doing their purchasing in account of size of their orders received, as tho latter have been moderate, and they are not buying wool freely. The nales of the week tn Boston amounted to 3.074,000 lbs domestic an I 223. WO lbs foreign, making a total of 3,290,000 lb", against a total of 3.620,000 lbs for the previous week and a total of 3.620,000 lbs for the correfcponding week last yer.
