generally bearish feeling. Erie proved an excep-
tion to the general movement, advancing at one
time to 4sk simultaneously with a sharp recovery
In England. This, however, was TO be looked for,
being the usual tactics upon the publication OF the
plans OF those recently its largest owners, to rid
themselves OF the stock rendering IL necessary for
them or their hackers to to the support OF the
market in order to secure the opportunity
OF profitable release. Non-divtdend paying stocks
are only moved upward by cliques, and as Erie Is
too heavy load to move successfully upward,
there is likely to be more OF bear speculation In
it than on the bull side. The new management has
done nothing yet to command public confidence.
They have been very free with suggestions OF what
might he done and what great results would follow
the carrying out of their comprehensive plans. But
in the existing situation OF affairs we may furnish
this advice to them in the present temper or
the street in regard to the change OF gauge.
'If 'twere done when done, twere well 'twere
done quickly" The further advice which lago
gave to Roderigo Is not inapt In this connection:
"Put money In thy purse" But this is precisely
where the difficulty is. Outside of Erie there were
no special features in stocks the only others OF the
list commanding any particular attention being
Union Pacific, Northwest, Columbus, Chicago and
Indiana Central and Pacific Mail, the latter break
ing suddenly. Panama showed a spasmodc
activity, and advanced to 124. The market was
weakest at the close. The following were the
highest and lowest prices OF stocks during the day.

WALL STREET,
Friday. August "a p. M.


On Change to-day wheat was steady, particu-
larry for select brands OF winter. A fair demand
was shown for spring, for milling and export. The
general tone Of the market is strong winter being
scarce, with large inquiry. Flour is strong, but
owing to the high prices asked dealings are re-
stricted. The frmness is more observable In Old
which, upon short supply, ls strongly held. The
supply OF new is freer and prices easier. Cotton
continues quiet and steady at 2o,Sc. for low mid
ding and 2lHc for middling.
GOLD 115T A 115H.
The gold market to-day was generally steady but
firm, the sales ranging between 1l5k 115H. The
customs receipts naturally fell OF in consequence
Of the heavy amount paid in yesterday. After the
first rush considerable reduction is OF cour sc to
be looked for, but the excitement to-day was only
less than yesterday. The receipts are stated at
$500, ,oOO-an exceptionally large amount. The i'm
ports OF dry goods for this week amount to
$3159,406. The Assistant Treasurer paid out
$4,000 for fve-twenties redeemed and 1891 200 for
interest. The rates paid for carrying were l, 2
