New York, Aug. 1S-The stock market
was dull and professional again to-day.
The transactions showed a slight increase,
however, l5S.5S9 shares changing hands,
tilling and Cattle Feeding, and II, 400 Bur-
lington and Quincy. AS a rule, the active
issues were weak in the early trading, the
talk about gold exports and moderate
sales for foreign account having led to
a decline of Is to II per cent, all along the
line, Toward IL o'clock Distiiling. ana
Cattle Feeding moved to the front and
on good buying rose to 22ss an advance
of IA per cent. The rise was due to the
decision just rendered by the courts. which
VIII prevent any interference with the
Waterbury reorganization committee in
their work of rehabiltating the property.
The judicial sale takes place in Chicago
weak on the announcement of the or
ganization of rival cigarette concern
at ST. Louis. The stock declined IA n
111A@111A Missouri Pacific was forced
down a point to 81 on light offerings, but
quickly recovered. A period of dizziness
followed the movements recorded above,
but during the afternoon the Anthracite
Coalers and Changers doomed into promi-
nence and advanced sharply. Jersey Cen
trail rose 234 to 106. Delaware and Hudson
IA to 13111, Lackawann&, Ia to 1887, Read

y to 713s170zs, Burlington and Quincy, rs
to 91G9O3s, and Chicago and Eastern Illi- |
nois preferred u to 1882. The Anthracite
Coalers were strengthened by the re-
vival of the old reports that the efforts |
were being made by the leading bankers
to settle the trade difficulties. The reports |
as usual could not be confirmed, but the |
Impression is that the condition of the |
coal trade is so bad that a change must |
necessarily follow. The largest buyers of |
the Changers were firms supposed to be |
acting in the interests of insiders. Other |
particularly firm stocks were Erie, Tele- |
phone Manhattan and Sasquehana and |
Western preferred. The withdrawal of |
100000 gold from the sub treasury for |
shipment to Europe to-day had no effect |
whatever on the market, which closet |
quiet and strong. Net changes showed adj |
