THE SUNDAY OltEGOlsFIAN, POBTLAb; AUGUST 1 7, 1904. 15 WATCHING CROPS U1.9ertair.ty Causes Inactivity in Stock Speculation, BUT TONE GENERALLY STRONG Indications of Some Revival In Iron and Steel Trade Railroad Offi cials Report Growth of Traf ficWar of Little Effect. NEW TORK. Aug. 6. There la" little to re cord of today's short session of tbo Stock .exchange. Dealings ran down to tho level of midsummer dullness, and the movement of prices -was 60 sluggish as to bo entirely Incon clusive as to any sentiment over the outlook for values to bo expressed. Tho uncertainty Over the extent of damage to Spring wheat was a continuing factor,' And Is expected to be until the publication of tho .Government report Wednesday. The rally in the price of British consols In London was a favorablo influence on all se-J curl tics markets. The outgo of gold, which has been Inaugurated, is the subject of Inter ested discussion, but is of little concrete ef fect, owing to the plethoric condition of the money market. Foreign bankers refrain from offering bills against futuro shipments of grain and cotton, as they usually do at this time of the year, because there is no chance of em ploying the proceeds to advantage In tho pres ent stagnant money market here. The money rate is relatively high In London, and no com mercial bills of exchange are offering as a means of remittance of credits. The shipment of gold is. therefore, tho only alternative. The gold outgo next week, so far as arranged, promises to be moro than offset by tho expect ed receipt at San Francisco of $4,000,000 in Japanese and Australian gold to be transferred to New York by telegraph. The bank state ment did cot reflect the full gain in reserves indicated by the preliminary estimates, but tho showing was complicated by operations in connection with the remittance to Cuba on ac count of the loan Installment. "With the exception of gains in some of tho obscure specialties, tho price changes were confined to small fractions, mostly gains, and the closing was Arm. Total sales of bonds, ?1. 145.000. Increasing attention has,been given- in the Btock market this week to the condition and prospect of the crops. Tho conflicting reports from that source have caused a tone of hesi tation In the stock market and a decrease In the activity of the trading. But tho week's movement has been, on tho whole, toward higher prices. "With the most brilliant pros pects ever recorded for a large and profitable ttton crop, and ..with reports In currency dur ing the week pointing to something like a dis aster to the year's wheat crop, the divided sen timent in the stock market Is explained. Al though the critical period for tho cotton crop is yet to come, tho favorablo progress thus far, and the absence of serious hurtful factors in the weather conditions from day to day give rise to tho brightest hopes for this highly Important element in the country's prosperity. It is generally believed that stocks of cotton the world over are at a low stage, -owing to the long-sustained high price and tho resultant policy of hand-to-mouth buying which has been followed by consumers. It is natural that the stocks of companies whose business is connected with the cotton traffic should havo been conspicuously strong. Additional sympathetic effect has been pro duced on the group by the prosperous showing contained in tho annual report of the Southern - Bailway. The prospect of a short crop of wheat pre sents quite a contrast. The heavy exports for the last year is evidence that last year's Small surplus available for export -will bo materially cut down this year, leaving an Important gap In the foreign commerce of the country. The corn crop is still looked to .hopefully to eke out the deficiency In our grain exports, the more so as all accounts point to a serious shortage In foreign wheat crops. The foreign demand for corn Is already reported to be increasing. Other factors havo teen &s mixed. The week's advices indicate some revival in tho Iron and steel trade, and great importance is attached to these. Large orders were placed for pig Iron, and the announcement of orders for 60.000 tons of steel rails for the Harrlman system of railroads was of marked effect on the stocks of that system and on the Iron and steel stocks. Ball road officials assert tbat there Js some growth of traffic on their lines, and a decided Improvement in the business sentiment In their territory as to future busi ness revival. Increases in net earnings for June by the Pennsylvania system, the Atchl son and the St. Paul were accepted as an In dex of improving conditions in railroad finances, due to an important degree, however, to drastic retrenchment in expenses of opera tion, notably in the case of Pennsylvania. The discussion of strike preparations by the anthracite miners, the strikes of tho meat- packers and the cotton operatives, and tho disturbance in the building trades in New Tork all furnish food for anxiety, and had perceptible repressive effect on the operations in tho stock market. The shutting down of works by the Pullman Company, owing to lack of orders, and of some of the great harvesting machine works are of bad effect on sentiment as clear indications of shrinkage in business. For the same reason, small comfort la derived from the unrest in the money masket, due to the piling up ot Idle resources in banks. The rneatpackers strike is having the effect of ag gravating this situation In Chicago and St. Louis. Little attention has been paid to the war news from the Far East, except so far as It has been .a factor in- the tightening of the London money market and the withdrawal of gold from New Tork. The Investment demand in the bond market has shrunk to small proportions, but a good effect is produced by the successful marketing of several tiond Issues to first subscribers. United States bonds are unchanged on call, CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

Palls to Reflect Estimated Gain In Cash, Says, the financier. NEW TORK. Aug. 6. The Financier says: The official statement of the New Tork associated banks last week was somewhat disappointing, in that it failed to reflect the gain in cash -which was estimated upon the basis of the traceablo movements of money -during the week, the discrepancy between the amount of the average gain, as reported In the statement, and that which was esti mated being $2,011,500. This difference may be in (Treat Dart accounted for. however. Viv tne lact tnat tnc oanKs lost an average of $2,500,000 by the payment through them to week of $2,800,000, tho amount of the Cen- irai x-sciuc note, ana tney aiso lost 5l.0UU.UUU which was withdrawn on Friday of last week for shipment to Cuba on Saturday The net gain of cash reported by the state ment was $181,200, specie increasing $1,985. 300 and legal tenders decreasing $1,854,100. Deposits fell off $752,200, causing a reduc tlon of $188,050 In tho required reserves; adding this sum to the net gain In cosh as nhnvpi winde uji increnjin of X3flf 2.10 In ntir- -r , plus reserve to $56,30S,S50. Computed on the basis of deposits less those of $23,370,100 public funds, the surplus Is $62,151,375. Loans were contracted $1,801,200, probably reflecting the cancellation of those against the proceeds of Cuban bonds and also tho small volume of commission-house borrow ing during tho week. The statement of next week will most likely show a net gain in cash resulting from tho transfer hither from Son Francisco of about $4,000,000, of which $3,000,000 will be Japaneso and the remainder Australian gold, less $2,500,000, which will be shipped on Tuesday to London.

Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc The wheat market has at last opened with a burst of activity. Some heavy purchases have been made in the interior, several car goes changing hands. The prices - paid ore understood to bo within the range of quota- lions given below. In addition to tho wheat trading, Interest is given to tho market by the chartering ot three vessels, announced yesterday, to load for the United Kingdom, two at this port and one on Puget Sound. The Beacon Rock, a spot vessel, and the Hartfleld, now at San Diego, will take wheat hero at 27s Cd. the minimum rate fixed by the For eign Shipowners' Association, while the Oran osla, the Puget Sound fixture, is at 25s. As shippers have shown that they can do busi ness at association rates with wheat at pres ent prices, it is probable that a considerable amount of grain will change hands soon, un less farmers put up their prices.

Increased receipts were an additional factor in tho domestic situation, tending to bring out liberal otfer- i,,?i;ir A large quantity ot long wheat was offered for sale during tho first few minutes, September falling to 96 c As soon as smaller, holders had secured prof Its, the market became somowhat firmer, September rallying to 07c For a time tho trading was rather light with prices holding fairly steady. A report by a prominent Chicago operator, who has been investigat ing the situation in tho Northwest, stated that the Spring wheat crop was in a critical condition and caused a fresh burst of "bullish enthusiasm. Those who had sold short on the more favorable advices of the early part of the session hastened to cover. Thero was also good buying by bull leaders. Under an active demand September advanced to 07 c More long wheat, however, came out on tho bulgo and the market again cased off, Sep tember closing at 9797c. j Corn was weak in sympathy with wheat.

Louisvilla Courier-Journal. "The manufacture of aluminum uten slle for practical use has at last been practically perfected," said a man who is engaged in the trade. "There are two kinds of aluminum," ho continued, "and each is adapted to a special purpose. One Is cast and the other Is pressed. Pressed aluminum is the kind ttiat is worked into all kinds of de- ' vlnoa. whlln tha cast metal Is turned to' practical purposess, such as making pots, frying pans, teapots and a thousand other utensils. Great progress has been made In a comparatively few years with the metal, and tho methods are not yet perfect in all the branches; for which thp metal is desired. The Arkansas mines are probably the best in the world. At any rato they have been more success- iuuy nunvcu whi "-"j out- cess is the measure of merit in aluminum, as well as other things.

But for Fishermen No Human Being would ureaK its tiouruae. Boston Transcript. The coast of Labrador Is the edge of a vast solitude of rocky hills, split and blasted by the frosts and beaten by the waves of the Atlantic for unknown ages. A grand headland, yellow, brown and black in its nakedness, is ever in sight. one to the north of yon and one to the south. Hero and there upon them are strips and patches of.pa.le green mosses, lean grasses and dwarf shrubbery. There are no forests, except in Hamilton Inlet, Occasionally miles of precipices front the acaj jn -which fancy may roughly shape all the structures of human art. More frequent than headlands and per pendicular sea fronts are the sea slopes, often bald and tame, and then the perfec tion of 'all that is plcturesquo and rough. In the Interior the blue hills and stony I vales that wind up from among them from the sea have a summerlike and nleasnnt n.Ir. One finds himself peopling these regions and dotting their hills, valleys and wild shores with hnmnn tnhnhlrnnts hut a coo- find thnilP'hf nnrt n mnliT-nfiil nna it lei . .... I tens mat no men ton in me neias away i there, no women keep tho home off there, no children play by the brooks or shout 1 around the country schoolhouse, no bees come home to the hive, no smoke curls from the farmhouse chimney, no orchard blooms, no bleating sheep flock the moun tain side with whiteness and no heifer lows in the-4willght. There Is nobody thero, there never were but a miserable and scattered few, and there, never will be. It is a great and ter rible wilderness, thousands of miles in extent, and lonesome to the very wild animals and birds. Left to the still visi tation of the light from the. sun, moon and stars and the auroral flrs, It is .only fit to look upon and then be given over to its primeval souiariness. .But ior tne living things of its water. the cod, salmon and seal, which bring thousands of fishermen to its waters and traders to its bleak shores, Labrador would be as desolate as Greenland. The time is now coming when, with good , I steamship accommodations, tho invalid and tourist from the states will be found spending the brief but lovely Summer here, notwithstanding its ruggedness and desolation.
