New York, Aug. 25.-The stock market
movements to-day, of late, were dun
and undressing. The sales Were even
smaller than yesterday, summing up 81 295
shares. The dealings in railway miscella-
neous mortgages, however, showed a
slight increase, aggregat.ng a little over
100000. Stocks started off weak, but the
{ declining tendency was covered by the
announcement that the steamship Tue
tonic, sailing from Liverpool tomorrow,
will take $4,000 gold, consigned to a New
- York firm and by a further decline of p
cent in posted rates of sterling exchange.
The fact that there has been no necessity
to issue clearing house loan certificates,
as one of the banks was the heaviest
lender of money on call to-day, assisted
in the recovery IN prices. In regard TO the
gold importations It was stated that the
banks and the foreign exchange syndicate
had de Aded to bring $4,000. 900 Of the
metal from Europe. This report first
gained currency before the banks restored
the treasury reserve to the Sl00, 600
mark, some weeks ago, and was denied at
) the time There has been no new devel-
oments since, although it is believed that
} the movement Of gold to this country
) will continue for at least a month or six
} weeks longer. Near the close, the early
rise of Ad4 per cent was generally lost.
) and report had it that the Mckinley let
fer of acceptance VIII give more promi-
looked for here. This had some influence
in certain quarters and accounts for the
active tendency. The selling was of a
light preparation and the impression of
values was Insignificant Speculation
closed weak. Net changes show losses of
n01 per cent, Western Union and Sugar
made strong gains in this special. Mime
sofa Iron declined to A. and Illinois
Steel % to 40. Bonds were weak. Total
sales were 100000 shares.
