New York, Aug. H.-The railway and
miscellaneous stock market was irregu-
lar throughout the day. and at the close
majority of operators left the street de-
cidedly mixed as 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 enthusiastic bull could de-
sire, the leading officials of the western
roads being quoted as saying that this
years crop tonnage viii probably exceed
mat OF 49,, an unusually profitable year
Tor the transportation interests. Sterling
exchange weakened, posted rates having
been reduced &c to S4.S9is04 .90i2, and only
SlOc6V OF gold was taken for export to-
morrow. These factors ordinarily would
have worked in favor Of those Operating
for higher prices but owing TO the posi-
ton taken by well known plunger IN the
lndustrlals, the Importance of these de-
velopments was overlooked. The operator
in question. il is understood, has antago-
nlzed certain lower Wall street interests,
ana as he is long of big line of Sugar,
efforts were made to force liquidations.
The result was that both Sugar and To-
baceo were highly nervous throughout.
Sugar at the start broke from 1l2 to l1Gis,
rallied to l10S4. and later dropped to 1OSh.
Tobacco rose from 9Jss to gS7s. and dropped
TO $4,000. The other lndustrials were
weak IN sympathy. The Changers were
the only stocks on the list that were not
lnhenced by the gyratiOns in the Indus
trials, and held stubbornly strong from
ular, the Industrials ruling weak and the
railways steady to firm. Net changes
show losses of AQA per cent. The Grang-
ers, however, gained isd5s per cent. To-
tai sales were 1891 shares, of which 246,-
900 shares were listed and 80, 600 shares ur-
listed Bonds were lower. Sales were
