New York Markets.

NEW YORK, Aug. Io.-There was less ANNA
ton on tbs Stock Exchange to-day than on the
preceding days OF the week. Trade was restricted
by an unfaVorable turn OF affairs at Washington
regarding the tariff, which omlng ON the news of
q reported agreement between the Senate and the
House gave the traders setback which induced
many OF Them to dispose OF their holdings and
made others cautious about extending their lines
OF long stock. London was in the market both as
a buyer and seller, but did not largely enter into
the transactions Another unsettIing factor OF
the speculative situation was the uncertainty pre-
Vaillng as to the Government crop report to be
issued late in the afternoon This was looked
forward to with more than usual interest, in view
of the many rumors which had been afoat OF
serious crop damage, chiefly 20 corn.
AL the opening OF the stock Exchange this
morning the prices showed a fractional decline
from the closing figures Of yesterday, but July re-
covered the greater part of the losses. The i'm
ProVehent, however, was merely temporary aud
the market Became unsettled the tone OF the
ueallnSS srauuAiIJ becoming neANy under moo
crate selling. shortly before noon the market
showed signs OF Improvement and prices moved
up fraction, but al about AS O'Clock a drive
was made upon chicago Gas, which sent that
stock down and caused sympathetic decline in
the general list During the day the speculation
was equally unsettled, but was dull and with the
pressure to sell.
During the last quarter of an hour the trading
was fairly active and the tendency of the figures
was upward The market closed firm to steady ia
