NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, August 21.-Wsu Street,
Gold is weak, opening at 1929 and clos
ing at 1928. It was reported that one of
the cliquss sold out to-day, which caused
8 decline in gold for delivery, and it is
still scarce and from I-64 to = per cent,
was paid for use. Clesringa are about
S4S, ,090, 600. Governments ara faverish,
owing to the decline in gold. In the
Stock market there has been an entire
absence of speculation, and with the ex-
ception of the Pacific Mall and the Union
Pacific, which have been comparatively
steady, the whole list was depressed liz
tie by the bear sales. Most OF ths princi-
pal operators having gone to Saratoga aud
Newport, short interest is heavy. The
market closed dull, but with a stronger
feeling. The earnings of the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids and Minnesota railroad for
the first two weeks of August wers as fol-
lows: For the week ending August 7th,
$l2, ,572; for the week ending August I4th,

SCENTS to be from a portion of the road be-
tween Burlington and Cedar Falls, the
extension, which is now in process Of con-
struction from Cedar Falls to Mason City,
