WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
Tuesday, August 9-p. m.
The stock market was somewhat less active to-
day, but there were excellent reasons for the
shrnkage in business. After sufficient test
ing of the market, tine sellers are likely to
ask where stocks may he obtained for delivery
The usual rule was followed implicitly. Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, which suffered the
heaviest loss yesterday, was In most urgent de-
mand. prenium was raid for the use of certll-
Gates over night Other stocks were wanted in
about the proportion in which they have re-
Gently been sold Although there was some
buying Tor the short account. it was surpassed
by a buying OF entirely different character
The absorption Of securities Is going on much
faster than the manufacture, anu the law OF
supply and demand continues TO have its natural
influence. II ought not TO be surprising that OH
smaller transactions previous losses were practi-
cally recovered. What CT more importance
than the buying by the bear faction WAS the
hesitation in The selling for foreign account.
The fortnightly settlement at the London Stock
Exchange will begin tomorrow, and large short
interest may be developed In any case the
cessation of European selling may have an iln,
portant influence the course OF prices. IL
Europe shall conclude to maintain its present
holdings Of American railway securities, there
is little chance of further exports of gold. The
recent shipments have raised the rute OF "A-
change between London and Paris TO point at
which further exports may not lie made at
profit.
The short interest in the Produce Exchange mar
kcts having been pressed ont. the news from tho
West was rather more favorable ~ the growing
crops. In the natural course Of things rumors of
damage by 'rost somewhere in the Northwest may
lie expected in few weeks The bdars In the
Granger stocks will not be satisfied with the
har until ha r. al
their outstanding contracts. They may wait in
vain. While the market was dull, it WAS strong
and the closing was generally at the best ngures
