little doubt that the clique has been unload

steady. The treasury took q million at
ia 34-100h1l4 56-100. State bonds very
dull. Missouri's weak. In stocks the prin-
| cipal feature was the decline in Erie from
Ats to 45ss, the lowest psint for along time,
and an advance in Western Union on pur-
chase by Vanderbilt buyers from 714 TO 73tt;;
both stocks active, as were also Pacific
Mail and Union Pacific, with fair business.
The New Yore Central which advanced to
| 81, Lake Shore, Northwestern and Indiana
| Central; the general market, though quiet,
sympathized with the Western Union and
advanced, closing strong throughout the
list. The shorts were free purchasers to-
day. The Erie earnings are said to show
further decrease.

New York Dry floods Market.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The general tone
of the market Is towards activity, but the
| continued heat of the weather has retarded
business. Transactions for to-day are light
in comparison with those of last week, but
some fair sales have been effected in differ
ent branches of trade. The New York
Daily Bulletin says brows sheetiDgs were
in fair request for standard weights and
moderate transactions are reported at full
rates. Medium grades are without much
inquiry. Bleached shirtings and sheetings
were in limited demand and some favorite
marks are sold ahead. Cotton drills are
steady at frmer quotations. Canton fan
nels are without any new features. Wool
en- fannels continue fairly active. Cloth
and coatings for the day are without much
| inquiry, while fancy cassimeres showed
considerable activity. Doeskins continue
| to do fairly and some moderate sales are
reported for the day. Foreign dry goods
are yet inactive and for the day lacked in
| animation.
