THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New York, Aug, I. There was nothing im portant in tod.ij'a dealings In stocks and bonds. The undertone of the market was firm owing to the K-aity offerings of stocks, but the cflorU to arouse any tpeculativc enthusiasm were quite futile, outside of a moderate demand for the iron and steel shares which generally advanced from 1 to 1, the latter figure representing the extreme gain by Tennessee Coal. The re port of yellow feer in Florida caused heavi ness in one or two nouthern railway lines and Brookljn Transit was alloc ted by reports of la bor disaffection. Sugar continued on its couroe towards iccoNery and the upward movement in Union Pacitlc was continued, the other trans continental railroads showing some sympathy The list yielded konicwhat on tho bank statement but nothing like import liquidation was In evi dence. The closing was dull and rather heavy with the steel industrials and a few other (re clames showing tho only notable net changes. Total sales, P2.J00 shares. Dullness in bonds is even more marked than in .stool , the aerage volume of dealing being considerably le-s than half those at this time last year. United Stales icfumllng 2s when issued ban' declined 1 and the Ss, old 4s and 5s H per cent, in the bid price on call. The following quotations ara furnished Ths Tribune bv M. S.
