COMMERCIAL AAIZERS.

WEDNESDAY, Aug f-P.N.
There was halt in the Reading movement at the
Stock Bosrd to-day, and sympsthetcalya downward
turn in most of the leading speculative sha-es. The
transactions in reading o!eraby large at the First
Board the esdipg bull Withdrawing his support and
the bears attacking the stock sharply )eers options
Street gossip attributes the decline psry to sales Of the
prominent operators and partly to the srge supplies OF
stock upon the market Pni!sdelphia snd Boston ac
count. Whether the present pause in the speculation
il another russ to draw short sales whether the
movement has really "csved in - is mystery which
cannot be satisfactorily solved 10 the street yet. Tae
managing parties cover their tracks with unusual
shrewdrtss and skill. The Phisdelpbsns hsye DO

The quarterly meeting Of the Directors Will be he'll on
