GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2b.-The situation at the
stock exchange continues to improve, and rates
for money to-day were down to reasonable fig
ure for the first time in many days The market,
however, made no marked response 10 the i'm
proved conditions, and remained comparatively
dull with slight fluctuations. After squirt at the
opening positive relief which has been afforded to
the money market in the last few days, together
with the announcement if enough had not yet
been done to give ease something more would be
tried to dismiss the monetary situation
as q, disturbing factor in the situation;
for the present at least. The first of
September is close at hand, however, and the
usual shifting and calling OF loans, in order to
provide for quarterly payments, must maize
some trouble during the remainder of the week.
There is therefore no m arkeu disposition to en-
bark in new ventures, in the long side even.
Yet there was a rush 20 buy at the opening this
morning, and the market opened with boom,
advances over last nights figures extending to
rs per cent. In the cases OF New York Central
and Cleve and, Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
tain these high figures, however, and
the improvement was small when the taking OF
profits on the rise led to some selling by bears
which resulted in a fractional reaction, with the
usual result of dullness and stagnation. The
market continued to present a firm undertone
until the last hour, when buying began in
earnest encouraged by the low rate prevalent
for money, and in short time advances eI-
tending to IL per cent. were estab-
lishsd. AL Stocks which have been
weakest OF late were especially

and Rio Grande preferred, 2; Lake Shore, ~;
Reading. IF; Northwestern, St. Paul. Louis

strong at best figures
Railroad bonds slightly more active.
