NEW YORK MARKETS.
NEW YORK. n. V, Aug. 13.-The stock mar
ket was dull and professional again to-day. The
transactions showed slight increase, however,
15S.59S shares changing hands, of which 24SOO
were Reading, 20500 Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing and IL 400 Burlington. AS a rule the active is
sues were weak in t. early trading, the talk about
gold exports and moderate sales for foreign account
having led to decline of rs 10 II per cent all
along the line. Toward IL o'clocz DstilliDg and
Cattle Feeding moved to the front and on good
buying rose to 233s, an advance Of IA per cent.
The rise was due to the decision Just rendered by
the courts, which will prevent any interference
with the Waterbury reorganization committee in
their work of rehabritating the property The iu-
dicial sale takes place in Chicago tomorrow.
American Tobacco rather weak on the an
nouncement OF the organization Of rival cigar
cite concern at st. LCuis. The stock declined IA
to 11114 and Ill p. Missouri Pacific was forced
down point 10 81 on light offerings, but quickly
recovered. a period of dizziness followed the
movements recorded above, but during the after
noon the anthracite coalers and grangers doomed
into prominence and advanced sharply. Jersey
Central rose 23A to 106 d. and H. ia 10 1882;
Lackawanna IA to 16312; Reading y to - and
1858: Roc. Island 13s 10 80 and 1885: North
west SIS to 1925 and 102; st. Paul u TO 11Ss and
7O1s Burlington and Quincy Us to 81 and 9O3s,
and Chicago and Eastern Illinois preferred 12
The anthracite coalers were strengthened by
the revival OF old reports that enOrtS were DelnS
made by the leading bankers to settle the trade
difficulties. The reports usual could not be con-
hrmed, but the Impression Is that the-condl'lon OF
the coal trade is so bad That change must neces-
sarily follow. The largest buyers OF the Changers
were firm and supposed TO be acting in the inter
ests of outsiders. Particularly strong stocks were
Erie, Telephone, Manhattan and Susquehanna ana
Western preferred. The withdrawal OF $9OO,OOO
gold from the Sub-Treasury for shipment TO Europe
to-day had no effect whatever on the market,
which closed strong. Net changes show advances
OF IA TO I5s per cent. Jersey Central leading.
