New YORK, Aug. 13.-The Vanderbilt stocks

now quoted 2121S; Hudson River, 1S9; and Har-
lem, 1865. The market is very buoyant and
prices are advancing. Western stocks are steady
at about previous prices. Gold continues dull,
heavy grain and an abundant harvest having
depressing effect upon the premium. The price
remains unchanged since the opening hour and
is still quoted at 13494. Governments are dull
