NEW YORK, Aug. 25. - With the
exception of a brief period of firmness
at the opening Of business and in the
final trading, speculation on the stock
exchange today was heavy in tone, and
the transactions resulted in the estab-
lishment of lower range of values, eX-
tending from. 8 to 81 per cent, the
latter in DiStilling. The chief interest
of the market was centered in Distillin.,
the sales of which were very heavy.
There was good buying in the stock in
the early dealings, and an advance of
rs per cent was recorded in the belief
that the S5.000,OO0 loan had been
effected. A dispatch from Chicago,
point by announcing that the
Illinois Trust company, which was to be
the medium of the payment of the money
to take the trusts whisky out of
bond. had not received the funds. AS
the sequel proved, this was but part of
the inside eiique's plan to work the
market, and the scheme worked very
successfully, heavy blocks of the stock
being thrown on the market and some
stop orders being uncovered, the price
breaking AZ per cent to 1871. Consid-
cradle stock had been absorbed by the
CLIQUE all the way down. and at the

the market, whose purchases caused
recovery of u, but the trading i'll the
stock was feverish, and subsequent
reaction of per cent took place, with
final rally of u per cent, the last prices
being 81 below yesterdays closing fig
ures. After close of business the street
was informed that the company had Sc
cured loan of between $4,000, 900 and
5000, 600, and that the Illinois Trust
company had taken possession of whisky
in bond at Peoria and Pekin valued at
Sc, 900, 600. This removes an unsettling
influence in the market, and will tend
to the establishment of healthier mar
ket. The heavineSs of the general list
was generally due to the depression of
the leaders in the trading, though some
of the railroad properties were some
what untavorable. Changes in the
week are nearly all in the direction of
