ANOTHER DULL DAY. The Market Opened With a Tirm Feeling The Local Sentiment Was Bearish, With No Pressure to Sell Everything Closed Very "Weak. CHICAGO The wheat market was dull during most of the ses-ion to-day. Early there was a feeling of firmness, due to the better tone In cables. Li erpool was quoted Kd higher on futures, and Paris 1020 centimes higher. The effect of the London Ttnes' bullish summary on the world's wheat crop was largely counterbalanced by the heavy receipts at all winter wheat markets In this country. The local sentiment was still bearish, but there was no pressure to sell in view of the cibles and reported crop injury, and Lam son Bros, and Milnnne-Bodman were good buj ers on all the w eak spots, and for a timo the maiket held pretty firm and Decembor sold from S6Jc to SfiJc. Pardndge covered a little shoit wheat around 86c, and tbo scalpers also took in some, but trade as a rule was very sluggish Finallv, when it was know u that receipts for to morrow were estimated at 910 cars, Pardndge commenced to sell and the crowd tailed on to a considerable extent and De cember fell to b6c. Estimates as to the visi ble supply wore generally that it would show an increase, and this assisted in cau ing the weakness In the afternoon, on strong and higher cable-, it rallied to 86Jc Berlin reported an advance ofiKnuuk-- in Julv wheat, there evidently being a corner in that month, as September and Octobei onlv advanced mark Pans was 1020 centimes higher. Around SGc and t0ic Pardridge'sbiokers bought in a great deal of short wheat for him during the day, and these purchases sustained the market In the face of the heaw receipts. The close was at SGc The receipts here to-day were 593 cars, or 70 cars more than expected. Toledo re ceived 510 cars of new wheat, St. Louis re ceived 271 000 bushels and Minneapolis got 210 cars. Twenty boat lotds of wheat were reported taken at Xew York for export. Corn was quit, hut showed a little strength at one time on cool weather and the backw ard condition reported in some sections? There was not much pressure to sell. A few buving orders coming in Sep tember sold from 51Jic to 52c, hut without much bu-ine-s Then on an estimate of 810 cars for to-morrow the market became weak and September dropped backto51Je. Dur ing the last hour the market was firm on the decrease in the visible supply and there was a reaction to 52552Jic, closing at 52c. tarlj in the day the market was hammered by several big operators whose brokers be gan the decline. Oats were dull until the visible supply re port came in showing a heavy decrease, whenit impioved a trifle and tho close was neai the top. 1 Provisions wee strong early in sympathy with the higher prices for hogs, but weak ened later on the report that the French Chamber of Deputies had adjourned for three mouths without acting on the pro-po-ed reduction in duties. There was a le action later, however, and tho close was at about the highest prices of the day. Sep tember pork opened at $11 25, sold up to $11 32, receded to $11 h rallied to $11 37JJ and cio-ed there, a gain over yesterday's close of 17J4 cents Lard is unchanged and ribs show a gain of 2KifJ5 cents.

Philadelphia Gas Sells at 11 Against About 30 a Ttar Ago A Boomletin Luster Mining Company How Bulls and Bears Are Pointing. Room traders, reflecting the temper of in t estors, were in no humor for trading yes teiday, and the stock calls were slow and uninteiesting. The only interests handled were Philadelphia Gas and Luster, of which 240 shares changed hands. Xew York was dull and barely steady, so Pittsburg had good company. Philadelphia Gas sold at Jl and 1 and closed at 11 bid tho lowest point of the sea son, and perhaps the lowest in its history. At the beginning of last July it sold around 30. The mills were using gas at that time, and the income was considerable. Now the dependence is wholly upon private con sumption, and this being small, earnings are less than ever before. This, with a divi dend out of the question, In conformity with the policy of the company to devote all their surplus to the extinguishment of the debt, renders the stock unavailable for speculation, and as it is not wanted for in vestment, there is practically no market for it. A decline under the circumstances is the most natural thing in the world. The question of supply is not involved nor does the improved financial condition of the com pany count for anything in the absence of a demand for the stock. The slumps will no doubt be followed by a reaction, as is usual in such cases. Good news must have been received from the Luster mine, for the stock sold up to 12, against 12 onSatuiday, and closed strong at that flguro bid. Insiders were the buyers. Tins is a case in which reliable information from the field of operation w ould be of great benefit to the investing public, and until it is forthcoming the pi omoters of the en terprise must expect casual and indifinite reports to be received with several grains of allowance. Boatman's Insurance advanced to 32 bid. Central Traction closed a fraction better than the opening. The rest of the group was neglected. Switch and Signal was a shade stronger, and so also was Underground Cable. Concerning stocks in general a New York authority sajs: "It is clear that the dispo sition to look very far into the future has been chilled almost to the extent of paraly sis, and in its place is a tendency to estimate values almost entirely upon existing condi tions which are Btill much affected by the panic which prevailed at the close of last j ear. Bulls now point with pride to tho small offerings and assert this is unmistaka ble evidence that holders are easily able to carry their stocks, while bears evade this, winch is not easily disproved, and point to the slow decline that is taking place in bond and stock prices and the absence of market oiders to buy as a most practical negation of the claims of the hulls.''

DISCOURAGING ADVICES GIVE THE MAEKET AT NEW YORK AN OTHER SEVERE SETBACK. Trading Generally "Was Purely Professional The Bulls Say the Crop Condition "Will Be Felt Sooner or Later Unless There is a Stringency. New Yore, July 20 The advices to-day abioad weienot encouraging and thestook market met with another set back in the shape of a further export of gold to tho amount of $600,000. The trading is still al most professional and this at a timo when many confidently expected, to see a better state of affairs in the street is particularly discouraging. The outside conditions are as favorable as expected hut the foreign situ ation even though their appears to be a dis position to support tho weakening houses there.remains as a menace to the stability of prices and seems to be the principal check to operations in a speculativ e line here. It is felt that any fuither trouble there will bo followed by a heavy returfi of American secuiities to tneso snores anu tne-piessure to sell which to some extent emanates even now from foreign sources prevents any ap preciable improvement in prices. The bulls in tho street arc not disposed to take such a contingency to consideration and say that the ciop condition will he felt sooner or later in Wall street unless a stringency in money, which is now expected, should occur. The shipment of gold was most ef fectit e factor on the bear side to-day, and the trading element uo longer hesitated to sen the leiding stocks short, Burlington, St. Paul, Atchison, Richmond and West Point and Lackawanna being specially conspicu ous for the impression made upon their fig ures. The selling piessure hiought more activity, which, however, was confined al most entirely to the few stocks mentioned, and while theie was noticed an increased tendency to trade in the low-priced shares such transactions resulted in no important mot ement. Tho market was. firm at the opening, hut the tradcis sold Burlington and a lew othcis, aided by some foreign sales, and fractional losses weie scoiedm all the leading stocks in the early trading. A very piomising rally from these prices w as 111 progress when the announcement of the export of gold was made, and tho stocks bought in for the shoi t account fere throw 11 ovei immediately and new lines put out all along the line so that befoie delivery hour most of the piominont shares were down about 1 per cent, and Burlington, which bore the brunt of the pressure, nearly 2 per percent. The most demoralizing spectacle of the day, however, was to see East Ten nessee Hist preferred sell at 41, and on tho maiketmg of 200 shares decline to 42. The late trading w as marked by a sharp decline in silver ceititicates to 99, but the stock list under tho influence ot cot eung rallied frac tional! , and most shares w ere brought up to w ithin a shade of Satuiday's flguro. The cloae, howevei, was again heat j at close to lowest pi ices. The final changes generally show largo fractional losses for most ot the leading shales, whilo Buihugton is oil" 1, Jersey Contrail per cent and silver certin tatts w hile most stocks show only insig nificant losses lor the day. filtailroad bonds weie a littlo more, but w ithout any matonalchaugo in temper from that ruling for tho last two weeks, but the transactions were enlivened oy heavy trad ing in tho Atchison incomes which was the result of the declaration ot a dividend of 2 per cent upon them. They rose, however, only H poi cent 011 sales ot $245,000 out of a total uaj's business of $703 000. The rest of tho market showed a widening tendency, butwithaflnn tono no important changes were made. Government bonds have been dull and heavy. State bonds hat e been dull and steady. The 1'ost sajs. It is asserted on good authority that tho Bank of France is at pres ent practically refusing the payment of checks in gold, a policy Quo to Its own wish to anticipate or prevent a general hoarding of precious metal by private holders. The step would not be unusual, for the tendency of tho French people in this direction has always been marked. Tho assertion is rendered more plausible from the fact that for nearly a month the weekly statements of the Bank or France have shown net loss on the slher balance, coincidentally with gain in gold. On this theory the present and recent shipments of gold! to France have nothing whatever to do with the foreign exchange market. So long as the bankers acting for the Bank of France have French credits on which to draw against this country and they are not yet exhausted tho transaction would amount simply to a sale of silver against purchases of gold. Of course there would be a loss in the trans action, but if the situation weio legarded as cutical the institution would certainly not stop for that. Along with this curious condition of affairs in Pans has como a steady and rapid mark ing up of the street rate on time money In London. To-day hotli short and three months' hills are quoted at 2K percent, or on a par with the official minimum discount rate of the Bank of England. This is an ad vance of more than 1 percentwithin a week, and probably foreshadows an early advance in the bank rate. The peculiar situation in relation to the gold supply Is responsi ble for this. Even if Russia's demand Is soon to he satisfied in full, it is 'believed among the London bankers that Spain will be forced to draw gold from Loudon iu con siderable quantities to protect its own bank in the new issue of note circulation. At the same time, in spite of the disbelief existing here in a return of gold to us from England, the London financial authorities show sing ular unanimity In taking such shipments for granted.

THE HOME MARKETS. MONDAY'S USUAL QUIETNEES RE PORTED IN ALL PRODUCE LINES. Tropical Fruits Tend Lower The Cereal Situation Continues to Be Against the Producers "Wheat, Flour and Oats Are Lower. Office of Pittsruro Dispatch. ) MoDtY, July 20. Coustry Produce (Jobbing Prices): Mon day is uniformly an off day in farm and gar den product lines, and to-day was no excep tion to the rule. Apples and watermelons aro in bountiful supply, and bu eis have the field. Blackberries were so plentiful at the close of last week that large quantities were necessarily held over, and aie a drug to-day at nominal prices. There were sales this morning as low as 8c a box, but this price was for overripe stock. Tropical fruits are loi ced to the rear of late by reason of large receipts of domestic fruits. Lemons have proved a great disappointment to Jobbers the past few weeks. There were predictions 1 a lew weeKS ago tnat lemons wouiu go to $io per box. Picsent prices are not above half this figure. For some reason w hich this edi tor will not attempt to give, lemons aie lower than they hate been forjenrs at this time. Bananas aie also in supply far above demand, and, as much of stock is ot ernpe, buyers are able to name their prices. Not less than 30 carloads of bananas hat e been recenedtlns week and fully 16 cars are on s ilo nt tins time. Choice dairy products are steady at quotations, and it is only a ques tion of short time when prices must ad vance. Ohio cheese already is flint enough to go up higher. Strictly nesh eggsare good stock at quotations. ArpLES 75c i bushel, K 002 "0 a barrel. BUTTtK Creamer j , Elgin, 2021c; Ohio brands, 18l!)c; common country butter, 12c; choice coun tr rolls. 15c.

Groceries. It is too early in the week for any new de velopments in this department of trade. Sugars are very firm, especially soft whites, which are scarce. All signs point to an ad vance in sugar. Coffees are steady, but the outlook is for lower prices. The new coffee crop, which is large, mustinevitahly bring with it lower prices. Present prospects are for higher priced sugar and lctwer priced coffee.
