NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK. n. Y, Aug. e.-Speculation at
the Stock Exchange started OF quietly enough and
for some time after the opening there were but two
movements that attracted attention. General Elec
trio disappointed its friends, declining 15 TO 3614
despite the renewed talk about arrangements look
ing to a working agreement with its leading COM
petitors. The weakness Of the stock induced the
bears TO sell the Grangers but it was found uphill
work to press this gronp and especially as Manhat-
tan and other specialtles showed unwonted
strength. Manhattan was really the banner sock
OF the day rising with scarcely a reaction OF I'M
portance from 1l6 TO 1874 with nnal safes at liz
against 1885 yesterday. No CHER explanation
for the rise than the covering OF large short inter
est made some time ago forthcoming.
In the remainder of the list there noticeable
were considerable disturbed both on this account
and by the fact that gold engagements for tomor-
rows steamers were comparatively small.
Western Union was taken in hand and advanced
from 9284 to 9414; Lake Shore rose and Pull
man 3 per cent. The industrials were also II TO
11s per cent higher. The sales aggregated 115 ,954
shares, of which 1890 were Sugar, 1880 Man
haitian, 1890 Chicago Gas, II 900 General Elec-
trio and II 600 Burlington and Quincy. The mar
ket closed strong in tone at or near the top figures
of the day. Net changes IN the active list were 13
Oils per cent. Manhattan, however gained 33s,
Bonds were tirmer. Sales footed up $l.331 900.
