New York. Aug 15.-The day in Wall
street was dull and undressing. Trading
was practically at a standstlIl except per-
haps in the case of Tobacco, Distilling and
Cattle Feeding and New England. The
dullness of the speculative market was
only natural, at this time. The corn crop
is still a matter of doubt, although good
Judges assert that the danger line Will be
passed within the next week or ten days.
Again the gold exports are giving opera
tors some concern. To-day was an OF
day on the exchange market, and little
was heard about gold shipments Never
theless the impression is that Saturday
European steamers will take out fairly
large amounts, some bankers estimating
the exports on the day named at $2,OOO,O0O.
The predictions of frost In the corn belt
also checked trading TO large extent.
New England was the only feature OF the
market and on sales of 1880 shares the
stock moved up from 5Sls to 65iz closing
al e2lk bid, and 66 asked. The rise in stock
Is attributed to purchases by brokers iden-
tilted with the New Haven interests and
to reports that the minority stockholders
win be provided for. Tobacco was active,
d. 900 shares changing hands. The stock
ZEN from 1922 to 10sIslpl087s. The formation
Of an opposition company IN the west ac-
counts for the decline in the stock. Dis
filling and Cattle Feeding started on firm,
INT soon declined a point and closed y
per cent lower on the day The changes
In this speciality were due entirely 70 the
operations Of the room traders. The Rail-
viav and Anthracite Coal shares not pre-
v;0usly mentioned. moved within narrow
ne last hour and sold of point 10 i0f and
closed al 104is. The market closed quiet
