New York, Aug 19-The event Of the day
in official circles was the announcement
t by Lazard Freres that they intended to
import 100000 gold from Europe. At the
Offices of the firm 1t was stated that the
transaction was purely an experimental
opera ton. The announcement led a good
! deal of talk of further imports and a con-
certed movement by bankers to bring
about an influx of metal the same as in
J 1898, when $4,000, 900 were imported by
syndicate Nothing of an official charac-
ter could be obtained on this score up to
the close of business at the stock ex-
change. On the sterling exchange, the de-
mand for metal and the inability to obtain
money strengthens the belief that there
will be further importations in the near tu-
: ture. The market at the opening was IN
clined to weakness, owing to lower cables
} from London unfavorable railway reports
for the second week of August and further
} cutting of freight rates in the west. The
loss in prices outside of Manhattan, which
} fell nearly per cent. was lnslgnlncant.

for the better and the early Toss was not
only recovered, but in a number of in
} stances. material gains were scored. The
Improvement from the lowest point of the
day ranged from half to "a per cent, ex-
= cent in the case of Tobacco, which jump
ed from 551s to 59$4. The sharp rise induced
realizations and near the close a reaction
of 1kd1% per cent ensued. Speculation
closed quiet and firm in tone. Net changes
show gains of AQ1% per cent. in the usu-
ally active list In the specialties Mime
sofa Iron dropped to A. Total sales were
2s1 $50 shares, including 1880 Sugar, St.
Paul As, 200, and p. 100 Reading. Bonds were
higher The sales footed up S659,OOO.
