Progress has been made toward a more stable position of business, with a few more heavy contracts to hold the ground already gained, but for a proper interpretation of the week's results one must look beyond Wall street operations,  hiore than in any other quarter, the va* cation is leaving its impress oi inactivity. Speculation is cautious, but investment holdings are being increased rather than diminished, and operators cannot see that their hesitation on the ground of politics is echoed any more in geucral business circles than two months . Cotton fell so sharply that Some recovery occurred in an oversold specula* tlve market, and there has been a small net gain for the week, in spite of good crop reports and further reduction in consumption. Wheat advanced about a cent, helped by poor foreign crop reports. The domestic outlook Is fairly cheerful, bfcd farmers have marketed freely, receipts at interior cities aggregating 6,287,581 bushels against 3,018,216 last year and 2,440,41T in 1898. Exports from Atlantic ports were only 1,720,963 bushels of wheat, flour included, against 2,603,344 last year, although purchases on foreign account were large and promise an increased movement hereafter. C!Jorn also gained about a cent with the aid of dry weather reports and is 7ty cents above the price at this time last year. Both receipts and'exports for the week fell more than a million bushels below the same week in 1899. i ai£S YlGHT ALL THBOUGH. MB. 00VGE& TOLD TO HOLD OUT.

Washington, Aug. 11.—A deep feeling! of irritation has been produced here by the last cipher message from Minister Conger, which reveals the unpleasant fact that ttfe imperial Chinese government has been lying to all the foreign ministers in order to get them out of Peking by creating the impression that their governments desired them to leave with a Chinese escort. This, taken together with the continued firing on the legations, is considered here to indicate a cowardly conspiracy to thrust the min-, isters Into the handn of their enemies and to certain destruction.

"The Chinese," she said, "care nothing for life. But those who do enlist will fight until they win or die. They are not cowards, and they have no pity.

So far as the United States is concerned the rescue of its ministers and citizens alive will end the military operations started solely for that purpose. Should there be a general massacre, then congress will have to declare what shall be the American policy to follow in such a dreadful event. But it would seem, from the military and naval operations contemplating a German invasion months hence, with the co-operation of Russia and Perhaps other European powers, that cbina almost is certain to be engulfed in war eventually- In this outlook the United States has only the rescue of its citizens in view, holding aloof from all operations which mean vengeance.
