Only iSUGAE SCORES A LAEGE DECLINE On Heavy Trading' and F&ili to Eecover iny of the Lost. PEICES EULE LOWEST AT THE CLOSE NEW Yoek, Aug. 26. The principal eSect of the decision by Chancellor McGill was to intensify the tendency to dullness in the general list and to increase the incre ment to cover shorts in ail portions of the list There was considerable excitement in the Beading crowd at the opening, but when it became evident that the insiders were disposed to support the stock against any possible pressure, the stock became quiet. The other Coaleri were apparently scarcely affected by the decision at all, and remained extremely dull throughout the day. The rest of the interest in the mar ket was centered in Sugar, in which the transactions wero again extremely large, while tbe price was let on rapidly during the forenoon near Sper cent, with' no material improvement in the later deal ings. The others sympathized with the de cline. Tint only General Electric made any marked chance and It recovered the loss quickly. The lowest prices of the day were reached In many stocks at the close, which was quiet but heavy, generally within a shade of first figures. Ihe transactions In bonds were again con lined to narrow limits and the changes un important as a rule. The Reading were Both active and weak, and while the firsts lurnisbed $100,000 out of a total of SS71.000, they lost 114 Pe cent a &&( ana the conver tibles yt at 6 There were no other losses pf note.

The Markets Demoralized by the European Cholera Situation. Chicago, Aug. 26. The grave aspect of the situation as regards cholera In Eastern Eu rope, as shown by the dispatches published I this morning, demoralized the markets on the Board of Trade, especially hog moats, Tcsterday the stories going about In regard to it were received with some caution. To dy, however, the published reports con cerning the spi ead of the epidemic abroad and the talk of quarantine cansed the trade to take a gloom? view of the future. The receipts of whcAt continue In good volnme notwithstanding reports freely circulated that they wei sure to decrease greatly. The bears, who have all along contended that the situation was weak, considering the crops at home and abi oad and the large sur plus carried over, now feel that sinoe the cholera lias added its weight there can be no doubt of the correctness of their position nud ale steadily inci easing their short lines. Many rormer bulls are showing discourage ment and are unloading freely as the mar ket can take tUciKhoIdings, Of course there is more or less bull sentiment yet, but it is feeble, hesitating and cautious and conse quently without much Influence. Sales of September around the opening were made at75cand75eagalust75cattha close yesterday. The price worked Its way up, with some slight reactions, to 75c, re acted and closed weak at 75Jc Corn was weak, almost from the start and before noon hart fallen IJ-Jc on September from yc-terday's close.

TRADING FALLS OFF And Onlj Standard Undereromnd Cable Continues to Advance. A REACTION SEEMS IMMINENT Tt llanj and Other An Looking for a Higher Bang of Prices. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NETTS Feebat, Aug. 26." Tratlinir in local secnrltl'es on 'Change to day fell off somewhat as compared with the volume of business transacted yesterday, but it was still sufficient to justify the UEe ot the word active in describing the market. Besides being somewhat less active it was less buoyant, the rise in all the leaders appearing to fcave been tem porarily cheeked. The tone of the market, however, was not uncertain. It was quite as strong as usual to the casual observer, though the close, analyzing tabkeeper thought he detected signs of a re actionary tendency in soma of the shaies that have advanced most of late There certainly were no further advances of note, excepting in one or two instances, and those who favored the idea of a reac tion pointpd to this fact as Justifying their position. They also called attention to the evidences of realizations in Elcctiio second preferred, to Its failure to hold up to the highest point of the dav, and to what looked like a slumping tendencv in P. & B. Trac tion and Central Traction. Besides all this they claimed People's Plpeage was not so high; that the other passers were only about holding their own, and that the general demand was compara tively feeble On the other hand, the en thusiasts anl optimists claimed that the market had merely bolted, to get a fresh hold: that there were plenty of buyers ready to rush In as soon a thev saw prices wero" not going to break, and that big orders wero already on tbe books at slight conces sions from ennent prices, tho execution of which would place all the leading shares on a much hlghor plane. There is, in a general way, great confidence in the stability of the present market. It is not believed that prices have run ahead of actual values, ex cept, perhaps, where manipulation has been at work, and the abundance and ease of money, it Is argued, will work out tho salva tion of all who believe stocks are yet too low. At the Fame time it is admitted that a re action is possible, if not probable. It will bo well, theretoie, to look out for squalls, ns a natural reaction often hurts as badly as the sudden collapse of an unhealthy boom. Tbe Mnrkf Course. The items which figured in the day's trading on 'Change wore P. 4 B. Traction, P..A.&M. Traction, Pleasant Valley.

WHEAT AND CORN LOWER And Oats and Mil feed Drifting Upward Other Staples Firm and Unchanged Trade Fairly Active Fresh Crop Gossip No Radical Changes In Quotations. Friday, Aug. 26. More activity was apparent to-dav along the wholesale mercantile line than on tny previous day of the week, the operations in all branches being on a comparatively lib eral scale. Prices were unchanged, how ever, excepting in the grain and feed mar ket, where the tendency ot wheat and corn was downward and oats and millfeed up ward. As a rule other Btaples were firm at the recent advances. . Following is the latest from Prime's Crop Bureau: No change in general weather con ditions, hot and dry weather in Central Southern 'Illinois hurting com very badly. Do not see how under the most-invorable circumstances early corn- can mako much moro than feed, and that will be poor. Bo norts from Northorn Missouri show that the quality of wheat does not Improve, as late threshings come in; expect to sec present movement let up at once. Corn needing' rain bad) v. Weather too hot and dry for it to fill well. Southern Indiana reports 75 to 80 per cent winter wheat threshed and iree movement not locked for until fall seeding is completed. All winter wheat reports, covering llllnol?, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas aud Missouri, show probable decided falling off in large winter wheat movement. There lias been no State to which oats Is a surplus ciop Ivhere the yields and wolshts have not been light. Indications are now that Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska will not producomuch over half a crop compared with last 3 ear. Generally at harvest time farmers sell oats very lree,ly. This season. however, the situation Is the reverse, and grain dealers accustomed to handle Irom 35,000 to 50,000 bushels or oats a day report that so far their daily receipts have not ex ceeded 1,000 bushels. These small receipts are not caused by low prices, for oats are now higher than in an average season. I think the reason can be traced plainly to the fact of a light crop, coupled with the un certainty of the final outcome of the corn A few lemons from the California crop Just maturing have been recolved. Calllor 11 la goods are vastly In the lead this year in the green fruit trade. Jet sey sweet potatoes are becoming more plenty, and prices in conseqaenco.are weak ening.

BESSIMER AND GRAY F0BGR FIRM Jnd Holders 6enrailT ire Demanding & Blight Adrancs. BILES LIBERA!, IN ALL LINES Friday, Anjr. 26. For certain descriptions of raw material the demand is certainly improving. The labor troubles are slowly but certainly drawing to a close. The time for inau gurating the fall trade is near at hand. During the week a number of plants have started up, some on single turn, others on double. This movement has given employ ment to thousands of workmen, most of them having been idle since the first of July. The change from intensely warm to temperate weather will undoubtedly have on invigorating effect on trade generally. A better feelinir has already been aroused and confidence! is making its nppearance. Production, liowever.wili have to come aown to the point where anxiety prevails as to tho probability of obtaining supplies when wanted. Just as long as the supply exceeds tho demand consumors will be easy about their l'cqulrcmentH, and producers will be found who will not only make concessions, but force sales at almost anv price they can obtain. The rulo that establishes fixed rela tinnsbetweensunplyand demand, and which arbitrarily governs the price of all commo dities can neither bo abrogated nor tempo rarily set aside for the convenience of men who recklcsily ignore all the fundamental laws of business. t Higher Triced Crude Probable. The demand for all kinds of finished mate rial still continues large, and, with most of the mills full of work, there is certainly a bright outlook 'for this Dranch of trade. There has been no material increase in the request for pig iron', but the great activity in manufactured Iron and steel, and the fact that the weekly output of the fur naces has shown a marked falling off, arzues strongly in favor of hilier prices for crude material. There Is a firmer feeling on tho part of leading producers In various sec tions, bnt the offerings on the part of the Southern fnrnaces at prices below anything previously renorted tend to keep values at a low level. A number of consumers are sail ing close to shore as to rnppllcs, while others have made liberal purchases of billet, Bes semer and mill iron, as the pales published in this paper show. Stocks of nnsold pig iron continue heavy throughout tho coun try, but the decreasing production and tho increasing consumption will tend to elimi nate, in a measuro, this Important check to improved prices. rienty of Bmlne in Sliht Finished material holds up better than might have been expected. At tbo same time, the crude article hes been less respon sive than was looked lor. It is a difllcnlt market to estimate as regards its Immediate movements, although it is confidently ex pected to turn out favorable as the season advances. There Is a vast amount of busi ness in sight and In hand, and prices will soonbogln to show-an encouraging degree or firmness. There Is irregularity, of course, and in places where strength was confident ly looked for it has failed to materialize. On the other hand, there is increased strength where weakness would not have cansed any surprise. A Dig 1.1st of Trtnsactlont. last week the outlook was reported favor able for business In the iron trade. The sales reported below confirm that view of the situation, the first sale reported betas 10,000 tons of Bessemer. Tho sales of tbe week show up well, prices for all kinds of iron have been well maintained, standard brands in all cases being preierred. Steel billets .sold to a fair extent at last week's prices, prompt delivery commanding tbo highest figures. The Iron men who have been absent on thoir summer-vacation are beginning to return, and all indications point to material enlargement of the vol ume of business.

Chicago, Aug. 28. Sped at Kogers.Brown and Alerwln say: This district is showing about the usual amount of business for this season of the Tear. Small orders up to 100 or 200 tons are numerous, there always being considerable trade going for small lots of this sort from consumers who confine their purchases to nearby requirements. The metal being sold Is almost exclusively Northern and Southern coke. Prices remain practically unchanged. Here and there fur naces are found with accumulations of stocks willing to make even slight further concessions in order to efTect quick ship ment. Ono of the features of Interest in the situation Is the tact that many turna'ces are being put out of blast for the purpose of re pairs and otherwise. Tlis is gradually cut ting down production, and the effect must be felt later in the seaon. Consumption is going forward at a healthy rate. Indications for the autumn trade are all good. There Is little or any kind doing In Lake Superior charcoals. Large consum ers pnrchasod earlier In the season, and thoso who have not provided for their en tire season's requirements have enough con tracted for to last through the present year, and feel disposed to take thoir chances on the remainder on any stlffenins in this class OI metal. No improvement at St. Louis. St. Louis, Aug. 25. Sprcta: Eogors, Brown 4 Meacban say: There has been little if any improvement during the past week. Most of the sales have been carload lots, with one or two 500-ton orders. We bear that several of the Southern furnaces will c 05e down soon, and we are in hopes that this will have the effect of bolstering up prices and stop the decline that has been going on for the past three months.
