NEW YORK MARKETS.
NEW YORK. n. Y, Aug. 21.-The railway
and miscellaneous stock market was irregular
throughout to-day, and the close of business it
fair TO assume that majority of operators left
the street decidedly mixed to the future course
of prices. This is not to be wondered at when the
news of the day is reviewed In the first place
the crop reports were all that the most enthusiast
tic bull could desire, the leading officials Of The
Western roads being quoted saying that this
years crop tonnage will probably exceed that of
1892, an unusually profitable year Tor the trans
portatlon in this class.
Sterling exchange weakened, posted rates having
been reduced ~ to 81 S91z and 81 901a, and only
100000 gold taken Tor export tomorrow.
These factors ordinarily would have worked in
favor of those working for higher prices, but owing
to the position taken by well-Snown plunger in
the industrials the importance Of these develop
ments was overlooked. The operator in question.
it is understood, has antagonized certain lower
Wastreet interests. and as he is long OF big line
of sugar efforts were made to force liquidation
The result was both sugar and tobacco were highly
nervous throughout. Sugar at the start broke
from 112 to l101s, rallied to 1909 and later
dropped to 10S14. Tobacco rose from 955s to 1875
only stocks on the list that were no. influenced by
the gyrations in the ndusrlals and held subbornly
strong from start to finish. The market closed
irregular the industrials ruling weak and the rail-
road steady to firm. Net changes show losses of
14@S4 per cent. The grangers, however, gained
1sQD7s per cent. Total sales 1886, 1857 shares.
