New York. Aug. 16.-Business on the
stock exchange was less active than on
any previous day of the week, only 122, 09S
shares having changed hands. In this
small total. Tobacco figured for $500
shares; Distillers and Cattle Feeding for
1850; Chicago Gas, $500, and Burlington
and Quincy, $500 shares Tobacco was
easy throughout and broke from 10S5s to
1o612Q1071s. The selling of the stock was
based on report that the opposition TO
the company is growing and that manu-
facturers In other parts of the country
will join with the western competitors of
the concern. The poor statement of the
Manhattan for the June quarter induced
selling of this stock and the price fell
from 1171s to 1141k Distilling and Cattle

be acting for the Greenhut-Morris inter-
est. Chicago Gas was taken up to 61$s by
houses with western connections. The gen
eral railway list held very firm through
out, operators having been encouraged by
the excellent crop advices, the weather
at the west according to reports being sim
ply ideal, and the engagement of only $400,
900 gold for shipment to Europe by the Luz
CANA tomorrow. 1t had been expected
tnat az least S2,VO,VOO would be forwarded
and the falling off in the engagements had
good influence. The supply of bills
against securities sold abroad increased
materially, a firm identified with the Sus-
quehana and Western road, being the
heaviest seller. The changes, however ex-
cept in rare instances, were confined to
the fractions. Speculation closed quiet
ana steady. Net changes in the usually
prominent stocks were slight either way
