NEW YORK oct. l9.-The announcement of
tn engagement OF 100000 of gold for shipment
tomorrow on the steamer Ems had no effect on

pally because at the same time the sterling ex-
change market gave evidence OF a declining ten
dency. At the opening the stock market was very
dull. but the first prices made were general y a
small fraction higher. During the first quarter of
hour firm tone prevailed, but small Lon
don selling slight reaction took place, which
was OF brief duration, ana tor the hour following
the tendency WAS upward of a small business and
slight IN oyement. slight reaction took place
before midday, but in the early afternoon good
buying impaired tone to the speculation, and un-
der the leadership of the grangers prices ag ain
TOOK an upward turn.
The imp ovement checked about l2:45 by
a raid on Chicago Gas. which had been bought
freely during the morning by a clique and which
was now sold, 1t was satd, in the same interests.
