New YoRK, Aug. 20.-At the opening this
morning the demand was urgent enough to
open active stocks from y to "a per cent. higher
than they closed last evening. The movement
was soon exhausted, however, and further adj
vances were slight. In the afternoon more ami
nation vas accompanied by some recession in
prices. The market finally closed dull ana
heavy, generally with slight concessions from
opening prices. Wall street. both yesterday
and TO-DAY, has had severe test. and it has
been kuown that there Is still a very strong
undertone and scant supply of stocks. Final
changes are generally slight advances, but Cana
da Pacific rose lss and there are few fractional
losses.
Railroad bonds are very dull.
