THE sTocK EXCHANGE
NEW YoRK, Aug. 2S-After yesterdays
exciting day on the stock exchange the
speculation was tame, indeed. in compari-
son. From the opening until about 1880,
the market was heavy and with scarcely a
rally, prices moving downward. Then
came period OF dullness. during which
only the specislties made any material
movement, aud these also sought lower
range OF values. Speculation closed
barely steady. The final sales showed
losses on the day of = to II. in the gen.
eral list, the exceptions being ST. Paul
preferred, Delaware & Hudson, Louisville
& Wheeling and Lake Erie, which re-
corded advances OF \ each. Distilling
was again the leader of the market in
point OF activity. but the transactions
therein were less than third of yester-
days sales. There was heavy selling in
the shares at the opening. which came
from holders who hoped up 10 the last
moment that the trust would be able to
make its loan and take its spirits out of
bond The failure OF this project did not,
however, cause any serious stampede. and
the lowest figure 10 which the stock fell,
is1, Is only Il below yesterdays clos
"a
bottom price of yesterday. The low
price was reached shortly after the open
ing, bat before noon q recovery had been
made to 1914. During the afternoon the
greater drain was TO lsss. from which there
was q rally OF 4, the closing being Is
below yesterdays last sale. Sugar was
