New York, Aug. %. p. m.-Stocks were
more active to-day, and prices were high
er than on any previous day of the week.
The change in sentiment was due to the
general impression that money win work
easier next week on account of the steady
influx of gold from Europe Additional
enga gements of 81, $50 800 gold in London
for shipment TO New Y ork We're reported.
The engagements now figure up between
S13,0000O and S14000,o00, and. according
to foreign bankers, the $4,000, 900 mark will
be reached early next week. The bank
statement proved less unfavora BILE than
generally expected, the loss in surplus
reserve amounting to only 1886 $50 and
this added to builish feeling. The buying
was principally from the shorts. but in
the case OF Western Union it was re-

were taking the stock. The advance in
prices ranged from Y TO ga per cent, the
latter in Iackawanna. The Anthracites

port that J. p Morgan & Co. had secured
contracts of the Coke Bros. coal proper

demand and touched the best figures of
