The sto?kmaiket -opened dull and generally, a fraction lower yesterday. In the arly trading General Electric was sold heavily, mainly on Boston orders, and fcroke 1. the general Hat ; falling off a -fraction. Manhattan, however, was a notable exceptlcn and rose 3i per cent, on fcrisk buying, largely to coven short contracts of a prominent bear operator. Blore the close of the first hour of business the temper cf speculation underwent -a change and almost the entire list began ,f move upwards, the strength quite marked In the last hour. Among the Scaus?s which led to the appreciation in lvalues was the fact that the anticipated larye engagements of golJ for shipment Tsy to-morroWs European steamers tild not 'realize. As a matter of fact the total amount cf geld engaged for to-morrow 3s only i332,(X and of this only $230,000 comes from the subtreasury. Under these circumstances the short interest deemed it a wise precaution to close out some of their contracting, especially as the general conditions are not favorable to a bear airpalrn.

Higher Prices In Iron Industries .Dun & Co.'s and llradstreet'a . .. Reviews of Trade. NEWy YORK, Aug. 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:' Business continues unusually active for mid-summer and although' there is perceptible relaxation,' there are no signs of reaction. The one change of great importance which the a$t week has brought is. eminently helpful the amicable settlement between coal ' liners - and employers in' western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. It is said that about OO.COO men will have their wages increased after Oct. 1 by this adjustment, and while the enlargement of purchasing power is of consequence, it seems even more important that a chronic cause of controversy has been removed by the new agreement as to .company stores. There is no important change in crop prospects, and at this time no news is eminently good news. Speculation has been more successful in cotton than in any other product during the past'" week and has lifted the price an eighth. Wheat has declined a fraction with very scanty transactions, the extremely small Western receipts influencing the market for the present more than the restricted exports. The concerted withholding of wheat by Western farmers If continued, would doubtless affect the price in the end, but It has already supped Atlantic exports almost entirely, the amount, Hour included, having been only 753,330 bushels for the past week, against 2,986,346 bushels for the same week last year, and when foreign markets have supplied their needs frorn other quarters, the Western farmers may find reason to regret that they did not ship their wheat at the ordinary time. Corn tends to lower prices with more encouraging prospects and the expectation of a heavy corn crop affects prices of provisions, as might be expected. The Industries continue to make progress and higher prices for Iron and steel products prove that the supply has not outrun the demand. Bessemer iron is a shade weaker, but grey forge has advanced about 60 cents and finished products are remarkably firm. Lake copper has advanced to 12 cents. Tin has declined about a of a cent and Is quoted at 11.20c. Lead is a trifle stronger at 3.53c. The anthracite coal market is completely demoralized and prices have again yielded a little to about the lowest ever known. Sales of wool are not as much Inflated by speculation as they were during the first half of July, but they still considerably exceed the actual consumption In the manufacture, amounting at the three chief markets to 6,259,300 pounds. Prices are very firm. Some staple cotton goods have again advanced in price, but the market is unusually strong for the. season. Failures for the week were 223 In the United States, against 264 last year and forty-three in Canada, against fifty-four last year. ' " . Bradstreet's Weekly Review.. NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Bradstreet's tomorrow will 6ay: The features of the business week are a continuance of the remarkable strength of the demand for the Increase in the production of and the advance in prices of steel and iron, practically all first-class producing plants having been put Into service and not a few of the cripples. No rebound since the depression of 1S34 has been stronger or more surprising than that in iron and steel. Of the same nature Is the evidence of lmprovod business conditions shown by the activity In almost all manufacturing lines, more particularly, of course, those in which iron and eteel are employed. The center of commercial activity at the West fellows a Une drawn from St. Louis throusrh St. Paul, Chicago and Minneapolis, witn an improving demand also shown alonr the Ohio river valley. Wholesalers at Chicago and St. Louis report receipts of good orders for dress ?ood. hats, caps, clothing and shoes to a large degree the result of personal selection by interior merchants. General trade on the .Pacific coast has Improved within a month. One of the features is the recent importance of the foreign trade of Seattle and Tacoma. The development of our interchange of commodities with Oriental, Mexican, Central and South American countries is having a marked effect on the cltle3 named. San Francisco authorities wire that the wheat cror in California will be little below normal, and that-frults in the State are ripening faster almost than the canners can handle them. Exports of wheat (flour Included as wheat) from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal amount to 1.350.C00 bushels this week, against 1.460,000 bushels last week, as compared with 3.417,000 bushels In the week a year ago. with more than 5.000.000 bushels in the like week or 1x13;-Dusneis in 1S32, and 5,147,000 bushels in the corresponding week of 1831.

GRAIN CLOSED HIGHER

TRADIXU IX WHEAT LIGHT, HUT TOXE OF THE MARKET STRONGER. Business Curtailed on Account of the Uncertainty Regarding; the Coming Government Crop Report To-Day. CHICAGO. Aug. 9.-Wheat was firm, today, with only a light trade. Fluctuations were confined to a range c, closing 14c from the top and c higher than yesterday. Corn closed 'c higher than yesterday, and oats and provisions unchanged. Wheat opened firm at about the point it left off at the previous afternoon. Trade was light, and fresh influences were needed to stimulate It. The government report, to be issued to-morrow, had the effect of curtailing business. The effect of small receipts at Western primary markets was again balanced by equally noticeably meager shipments from the seaboard. Gold to a limited amount was reported to be prepared for shipment on to-morrow's steamers. Wet weather prevailed in the Dakctas, interfering with the harvest, and similar weather conditions were advised from Europe. Those were the chief matters which the bulls and bears wrestled for inspiration regarding the probable direction of the next quotation. Some rumors of important shipments, for which freight room was engaged via Boston, was about 12 o'clock aaaeu to the above-named influences, and infused a mile more nrmness into tne . aealings, out pending their conlirmation tnere was ao improvement to the small volume of traae. xne dealers are tasung comfort irom tne fact tnat receipts of wneat at Kansas City amounted to-day to 49,000 bu, out as Vi.iOO du was the quantity received tnere a ytar ago to-day's receipts should not allord more than a kind ot chilly comfort. Ine satistaction at the 49.000 bu received at Kansas City would prooably be still further cooler by the reflection that some of it is coming from Iowa, and is going to millers at points in the interior of Kansas as shown by a letter from a flour commission firm of Atlanta, la. The bearish feature was exports from the Atlantic ports of only 13.000 bu of wheat and 19,700 brls of flour. Foreign markets were all firmer; Liverpool, lid higher; Paris. 10 centimes higher, and Berlin, from 14 to ll2 marks up. The fluctuations in prices here were narrow, being confined within the range of 67c and 6814c, the closing transactions being at 68068V&C The taking of freight room at Boston for 250,000 bu of wheat and 600.000 bu of corn, and the sale of 115,000 bu of cash wheat, 75,000 bu of the latter for export, caused the rally during the latter part of the session. The corn pit was uncomfortably crowded, considering the extreme heat, but some people had to have corn, and risked the warmth of the struggle to secure it. Two points of rather pressing Importance were seeking for expression yesterday, but were silenced then by the effect of the Boston failure. These were the hot weather In Nebraska and Kansas, which is said to have caused a distinct lowering of the condition and the excellent demand for shipment. The taking of vessel room for 600,000 bu at Boston was a bull factor. September opened at from 3914c to 3914c, rose to 40Vc, and closed at 33039c. May ranged from 3314c at the opening to 34Hc, and closed at 33ic. In oats a firmer feeling was noticeable, but it was entirely in sympathy with corn. When that market fell off toward the close, oats al30 declined. It was reported early that elevator people were buying September oats and shorts taking In May, thereby assisting the advance. - September opened at 2014c, sold up to J20;c. back to 2014c and closed there. May ranged from 2414c to 2414c and closed at 24H243C. Provisions were .Irregular- and nervous. There were frequent , changes in the temperature of the crowd, but in the end prices showed very little change from the previous day's closing rates. : - .

The Boston Commercial Bulletin will say to-morrow of the wool market: The small sales are the result of a spasmodic agony on the part of American mills who have seen foreigners sweep Into our cloth market and carry away large orders for clay worsteds and fl-e fancies at phenomenally low prices. One of the foreign firms here just had its Invo'ces marked up. There has, however, been no drop in wool. It is owned at too h gh prices to sacrifice . and it is held In strong hands who hope that European prcs erty may advance prices again at the Londons auctions in September.

Sheep Apparently there is no limit to the supply, and sheep are holding this way In enormous numbers, this week's receipts so far aggregating about 10.200 head. There is a good demand for mutton, but such liberal offerlnrs are resulting in a weaker market and prices are 25&50c per 103 pounds lower, for medium grades of sheep than a week azo.

Colored Emigrants to Mexico In Xecd of Money and Food. AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 9. A letter was received here to-day from Jesse W. Sparks, United States consul to Mexico, dated Pledras Negras, Mexico, Aug. 5, reporting a deplorable condition among, the negro emigrants in Mexico and urging Immediate action on the part of the citizens to send money and food to the distressed people. He says: "I have crossed over the Rio Grande about four hundred. They are in charge of the State and United States authorities, who will provide for them well. They need clothing badly. The majority of them are as naked as frogs; this Is positively true. Let your people get up clothing for these people, men, women" and children, and send at once. The negroes at Torreon, about three hundred miles from here down in the interior of Mexico, want something to eat. We cannot get anything to them without paying duties to the main government, so send me money and I will buy rations for them. There are about seventy-five at Torreon. They cannot get away on account of smallpox. Three died to-day on the cars from Monclova." Consul Sparks adds that when six hundred negroes disembarked from the train at Rio -Grande they had four hundred starved dogs and two hundred young coyote wolves which they will neither sell nor kill, notwithstanding their famished condition.
