"A New York Stock Market
d NEW York, Aug. 4.-There was
|9adlcal change in the temper of specula-
Alon &C the stock exchange to day. In
s3ae early trading prices yielded Il to
Yer cent. chiefly on account of the bank
doubles in st. Paul and the scarcity of
8vrrency, which excited fears among
~ mid operators as to the future OF the
h oney market. The decline added ma.
8elrially to the short interest and for this
Qaason probably the bulls offered little
to the raid. After prices had
3 ielded largo buying orders were placed
m less time than it takes to tell, the
i ecllne was recovered and the market
generally was on higher leven than
Esast nights closing. During the af e.
Soon another reaction ensued, but to.
ara the close speculation assumed a
30sltiveiy 6uoyant tone and there was
Hpall sized besr panic. The shorts
~ hen they wanted to cover found that
@tpcks were not to be had readily and in
aneir haste to relieve themselves they
a3id prices up on each other.
II Inc belief that the arrivals of gold
Nom Europe next week will relieve the
money pressure and that President
$3lovoland's message will have re.
assuring effect in financial and COM
|&ercial circles, had much to do with the
gAharp, upward turn. The advance was
