NEW YORK MARKETS.


NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 7.-Stocks were IN
Settled during the greater part of the day, owing to
the rather unexpected engagement of Sl,000000
gold by Crossman & Brother for export TO Europe
by the steamship Augusta Victoria tomorrow.
This brings the total amount engaged and shipped
by this firm during the past three weeks up TO
$3,0OOO0O. 1t is stated that the firm Will forward
another large amount of gold on Saturday. In adj
dlJlon to the 100000 ordered from the sub
treasury by the firm referred to a bullion concern
will ship $4,000 gold by the same vessel. The
reacrionists and old-out bulls made the most OF
these Shipments but notwithstanding the efforts
put forth they did not dislodge long stock in any
thing like improvement amounts. London was
also seller OF ST. Paul and louisville and Nashville
and commission firms also executed small orders
for clients VINO desired to turn paper profits into
cash.
The result was a decline in prices OF u to I1a
per cent, sugar and Chicago Gas leading. Sugar
fell from 1LA14 TO 112$4, Chicago Gas from 5S 70
10 II, and the usually active list anywhere from
"A to Us per cent. AS rule the railroad list
neglected until Just the close, when business
picked up a bit. There were any number OF
rumors about the anthracite coalerS, Erie and
Northern Pacific but.thev did not effect the slight
est influence on the shares named. So far as the
anthracite coal trade is concerned the street has
settled down to the belief that the banking in
terests will TO it in good time that the existing
troubles will be adjudcated on basis fair 10 all
concerned.
The reported efforts OF certain of the minority
holders of the junior securities OF the Northern Pa
cifc to embarraSs those having in charge the re-
Erie II is conceded that when the plan OF the re-
organizers is given out it will be found that the
Junior security owners will have TO bear the great
est part of the expense.
In the afternoon the early settlers of stocks for
the short account endeavored TO get back stocks
and prices moved up 70 per cent in the case of
General Electric and 140l3s per cent on the gem
eral list. The market closed firm and 1sld12 per
cent higher on the day. General Electric, how
ever, gained nearly points.
In the specialtles Pullman Palace fell to III.
