NEW YORK, Sept. 12.--Gould's people con-
tinuo their bullish talk, and regard tho SELL
ing of yesterday simply as reaction, which
has been mainly brought about by tho room
traders. The commencement Of gold coming
here they regard as indicative of large i'm
ports during the remainder of the year. Lon
don cables say American railway securities
are very scarce and oversold, and Louisville,
Wabash common, and Denver lend fiat for
the next account. The latest from the grain
dealers here invariably say the frost
damages were restricted to a narrow belt and
the bulk of the crop is safe Tho bulls claim
that il the market opens easier to-day stocks
will do to buy for another rally this week,
because there is no reason for further decline.
1t was reported at the clubs last night that u
quantity of stocks had been sold out for Del
