Another reason for the heaviness OF sterling
was the pressure of exchange on Amster-
dam, which is quoted below par and very
difficult to sell. The gold market was
steady durinz the forenoon at 1855 to 1l5a,
but became weaker in the afternoon and
declined to 114s6114a. In the gold room
the weakness of exchange on Amsterdam
was urged as the reason for the decline.
Loans were 1n2 for carrying. Clearlngs
$37, 100000. The Treasury disbursed $780,
600. State bonds were generally quiet.
Missouri's were heavy and offered at 93c.
Governments were dull and steady.
Stocks were stronger at opening. Western
Union advanced to 72s, which caused
sympathetic rise In the balance Of the list,
rangingfrom I to aper cent, but afterwards
Western Union fell of to 7ls and the gen
eral market lost the early improvement.
In the afternoon Western Union rallied to
72s and later ranged between Y and 724. i
The balance Of the market again sym
pathized with the course Of the Western
Union and advanced to to fs per cent in
upward movement. The most prominent
stocks were Northwestern, Pacific Mail,
Union Pacific, Rock Island, etc. The late
dealings showed q general reaction of /! to 2
psr cent from the highest point of the day,
with an unsettled market. Canton this
evening broke down to 81, and afterwards
rallied to SO. There was some stock sold
out under rule. Adams Express Company
had declared dividend of two dollars per
share, payable third of September. ~

New York Dry Goods Market.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-There is better
demand for bleaehed goods and prints re-
sultiDg from a reduction in the price on
these fabrics, which has stimulated buyers
to lay in their stocks in anticipation Of
future wants. Other cotton fabrics con-
tinua slow of sale with no important
changes. Cloths and cassimeres are in
fair request where prices favor buyers q
little, but there is no speculative movement
and the aggregate sales are small for this
season of the year. Domestic shawls are
selling fairly from first hands at opening
prices. 4E-,s
