WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
Wednesday, August lip M
Professional manipulation OF the stock market
was forced TO yield to-day 10 actual develop
ments. The immnept danger OF spread OF the
Buffalo strikes overshadowed the engagement oil
nearly ST. 900 gold for shipment to Europe.
Theoretically there should have been no exports
of gold nor labor disturbances.
The improvements that were made yesterday
were forfeited, and many stocks suffered addi-
tional losses Declines Of about per cent IN
Erie, Reading and New-York Central might I've cX-
planned easily by the labor troubles at Buffalo,
but il is not obvious how they could have caused
the same loss in Western Union and Manhattan
Railway The revenues of the telegraph company
must naturally be increased ny any disturbance
and of courso, the control of Manhattan IL not
subject to the settlement of labor questions ~
Homestead or Buffalo. The weakness Of stocks
which have an Ilntcrnational market wa, was IN many
respects natural. The selling for European ac-
count not interrupted, although Il might hayc
been slightly disguised. In spite OF the heavier
bills was not adequate to prevent further ship
,nent of gold, and still larger engagements before
the end of the week were predicted. The closing
Of the active socks was only little above the
lowest figures.
