THK sToCK EXCHANGE
NEW YoRK, Aug. 25.--With the exception
OF brief period OF hrmness at the opening
of business and in the final trading. specu-
laiion on the stock exchange today was
heavy and the transactions resulted in the
establishment OF q lower range of values.
extending from x TO y per cent. the lat
ter in DistiIling. The chief interest Of the
market was conferred in Distilling. There
was good buying IN the stock in the early
dealings, and an advance of ~ was had
in the belief that the $4,000. COO loan had
been effected. A dispatch from Chicago,
however, threw doubt on this point by an
noanclng that the Illinois Trust Company
had not received the funds. As the sequel
proved. this was but part Of the cli0ue's
plan of work on the market, and the
scheme worked very successfully, heavy
blocks of the stock being thrown on tho
market and some stop orders being un-
covered. tho price breaking as per cent,
20 1881. Considerable stock has been
absorbed by the clique. and at the lower
figures outside buying came into the mar
ket, whose purchases caused recovery OF
IL. bat the trading in the stock was fever
ish. and subsequent reaction of l per
cent took place, with final rally of :.
per cent for the last price, being 3. below
yesterdays close. After the close Of busi-
ness the street was informed that the
company mad secured a loan of between
81 So, 900 and 5oo0. 600, aud that the hit
nois Trust Company had taken possession
of whisky "a bond at Peoria aud Pekin,
valued at 81 ooo.eOo. This removes an un-
setting influence in the market and will
tend TO the establishment Of healthier
tone. The heayiness of the list was due
90 the general depression of the leaders in
the trading. though some Of the railroad
reports received we're somewhat unfayor-
able. Changes on the week we're nearly
in the direction Of higher values. The
