A GENERAL EALLY
Follows the Black Eye Given to Free
Silver in the House.
COAIEES LEAD ' THE ADVANCE,
Closely Followed by Chicago Gas and Other
Industrials.
CLOSIKG PRICES ARE THE HIGHEST
New York, July 13. There seems to be
no disposition in "Wall street to look for any
thing but a narrow and tame traders mar
ket for some time to come, and the special
movements in diflerent groups of stocks have
little effect upon the general list. The late
advances among the Grangers were samples
of this lack of power and the rise in the coal
shares and their allied securities to-day was
another. These movements influence the gen
eral temper of the list, but fail to encourage
either advances or declines of note.
The failure to take action by the "West
ern Traffic Association, although the inter
pretation put upon the situation is that it
leaves the association on the verge of disso
lution, seems to be received in the East
with indifference, and while the Grangers
this morning showed a declining tendency
there was no material loss in any of the
stocks interested. The feature of the day's
operations was the comparatively heavy
buvingofthe Reading securities and the
strength in the other coal stocks on light
transactions. After the rise in Reading
securities had about reached its limit the
news of the defeat of the silver bill was
made public and stimulated the buying
movement in the general list and
all the leading stocks reached their
Inchest prices in the last hour.
At that time the industrials became tile
prime favorites, Chicago Gas and Cordage
preferred rising more than the others. The
defeat of the silver bill removes one of the
uncertainties from the market and to that
extent brightens the immediate fcture. The
stimulus Irom this cause may be short
lived, but it will certainly have a deterrent
influence on short sales in the future. The
market closed quiet but firm to strong at
the highest prices.
Railroad bonds were quiet, but the activ
ity m the Reading issues gave the market
a more animated appearance than usual of
late and the total transactions were 1,706,
000. The changes were again slight in most
cases, but Reading Convertibles are up
2 at 6a
Government bonds were dull and steady.

GRAIN HIGHER,
Eat ProTisions Decline Under Eflorts oTtho
Clique to Unload.
CmoAoo, July 13. The hears oversold
themselves to-day in wheat. AVhen they
tried to get the cereal back It was not to be
had and a rapid advance of lc Irom the
lowest point ensued, the market closing
within yaa of the top and Jfc! over last
night's flprnres. Hot winds in Kansas and
Nebraska fanned the price of corn up till it
closed at a net Improvement of JJc An at
tempt to unload by the bull clique In pro
visions caused porlr to finish at a loss of
17K compared witli last evening. Lard and
iiLn at the end were only slightly altered.
Wheat opened s lonor, and further de
clined SKc; theu rallied to tho close. The
decline eariy was due to weak and lower
JCngllsh cables, besides the receipts in tho
Northwest showed up larger, and the ex
port clearances were only moderate. Later
corn and provisions advanced. Continental
markets came higher, there were repoi ts of
rain in the Southwest, and Bradstreer re
ported a decicase of 1,841,000 bushels In the
supply or wheat east of tho Kocky Jlount
alns, with stocks on the Pacific coast prac
tically the same as last -neek. The defeatof
the silver bill was thought by some to also
exert a strengthening influence.
Corn trading was mainly for local account.
Opening figures were at ic loss, and tho
market under rather free selling by ship
pers and elevator people declined Jc more,
until tho news of hot winds arrived from
the West. One of the points which attracted
attention "Has the fact; that Jnly corn in
"ew York was only 5c over tho Chicago
Ijrice for this month, whereas tho cost of
ake and canal fi eights amountn to about lc
more than that difference.
The feature of the oats market was the
great strength of Jnlv, which commanded
JbSJj0 nremlum as compared with Septem
ber. This was due to nn effort of Ne- York
parties to buy cash oats, whioh were scaroe.
The bull clique in provisions appeared to
have tlo market In their hands. The gen
eral crowd were timid and hesitating ana
appeared to tako It lor granted that tholr
chance for profit lay in the success with
which tr.ey, could guess the action of tho
manipulators. Jnsc when corn and -wheat
received something to encourage them and
when, on a normal state of affairs in the pro
vision market, there would have been a
sympathetic advance in prices of hog prod
ucts.the clique seemed seized with a desire
to liquidate, and the close was at about the
lowest prices of the day.
There was a good demand for vessel room
'for Buffalo and Kingston, and rates firm.
Shippers bid So for wheat and lJo for corn to
Buffalo.
Estimated receipts for to-morrow: Wheat,
195 cars; corn, 300 cars; oats, 260 cars; hogs,
25,030.

fell off to 10 bid and reacted and closed
quiet at 1113 The stock did not appear
to be very firmly intrenched in its closing
position. A number of the brokers and
traders were trying to feel the market
in a manner that indicated a
desire to sell a few shares, as
well as a fear that offerings of any conse
quence would break the market below the
point at which they desired to sell. The
bidding at 11 was not very enthsiastic, and
it is probable a few orders to sell at best
would have lound the stock without sup
port. It looked very much as if the short
interest, which was not very extensive at
best, had settled, and that a reaction to 10
or below was imminent. The stock is not
widely distributed, however, and inthe ab
scence of any knowledge of the condition of
affairs at the mines, its probable course is
difficult of determination. The controlling
clique can do as they please with it. At
present it looks to be nothing but a gamble.
Course of tho Tractions.
A small lot of Pleasant Valley Railway
sold at 26, and the stock closed at t1
asked, no bid. There was some talk, by
those who supported it so strongly a short
time since, of a better demand and a prob
able advance, and one or those most prom
inent in the recent heavy trading declaied
he stood ready to take all offered "at the
market." What this talk was based on was
not disclosed. It might have been on some
thing pertaining to the deal that is on be
tween tbe P.V. and P., A. & 1L, but those in
terested in it who could be found denied nny
knowledge of anythins new in the matter.
Several of the most prominentprojectors or
the deal were out of town, and as they
were also absent from the city ves
terday, when it was said the finishing
touches wei e being made, it is probable that
nothing new has occurred lately and that
the renewed inquiry, if there was any, was
based on expectations of the announcement
of the regular dividend after the close of
business. If so, there should be a move
ment in the stock to-morrow (Thursday), as
the dividend was duly declaied.
Union Switch and Signal sold down to 1
closing ntl515 and weak. "Charge the
weakness to the labor troubles" was all the
explanation that could be obtained. For
some reason or other, probably because of a
lingering recollection or the many
lingers burned in its handling some
years ago. tho stock: is not
very much in favor. In certain qunrters the
sentiment is quite bearish, the feeling being
that while the company is doing a good deal
of work it is not making very much money.
Pittsburg and Birmingham Traction was
lower at 25 sales and a close at 25J25.
There is no accounting for tho gradual de
cline in this stock, excepting by assuming
that tbe profound mystery which has so
lone enveloped the dividend ana other ques
tions, has bred discouragement and some
thing approximating disgust.
Duquesne traction 5s sold at 100 and U.
S. Glais common at 65K. the closing bids be
ing lOOU and 65, respectively. Duquesne
stock and bonds are said to be gradually
stiffening, but if so the process is apparent
only to close observers. It is claimed the
Dnquesne end of the combine is doing the
most business.
Central traction was bid up a little, but
the bidding was accompanied by no fresh
news or gossip. The road is said on good
authority to bo earning $200 net per day. If
this Is so there is no reason why stockhold
ers should not be receiving pretty fair divi
dends. Citizens traction was quoted at 6263,
ex-divldend, at the close and Pittsburg
traction was offered at 59.
Inactivo Shares Featureless.
Barring V. S. Glass and Switch and Signal
little attention was paid to the miscellaneous
list. Air Brako was not quoted at all, and
the quotations established on the others by
the bids and others were altogether nomi
nal. Eleotrle (old) was quoted at 1818K. Pipe
age was barely steady at lSQlSJi. Wheeling
and Chartiers Gas were unchanged, and In
the various other groups the old familiar
figures were recorded.

HEAVY PURCHASING
On Homestead Account the Bulging Feat
ure in Mercantile Lines Grain Ruling
Dull and Weak and Provisions Active
and Strong at the Recent Advances
Canned Goods Decidedly Buoyant.
Wednesday, July 13.
Business is about as active in most lines
as could reasonably be expected, consider
ing the time of year and the uneasiness in
the industrial world, and collections are
also fairly satisfactory. So far as prices
are concerned, the only positive tendencies
are shown by provisions and breadstuff's,
the former being decidedly buoyant anil
the latter weak and declining. The only
feature of the markets to-day was continued
heavy purchasing of groceries, provisions,
potatoes, etc., on Homestead account.

Groceries.
The only feature of the market at the
moment is tbe absorbing interest in canned
goods. New orop stuff is booming, particu
larly corn, peaches, peas and tomatoes, and
the probability of higher prices is puttlnir up
tho quotations on last season's goods. A New
York canner, whose average taok of peas-is
about 50,000 oases, writes that thus tar this
season he has been unable to put np more
than B00 oases, against 20,000 oases paoked at
the corresponding period last year. Several
other New York. State cannors write that
their pack will be more or less short.
