New York, Sept. 2S.-The tendency of
stock prices during the greater part of the
day was downward. Profit-taking was
mainly responsible for the reaction, but
an advance in the posted and actual rates
of sterling exchange, the poor statements
for August, made by some of the leading
roads, and a reduction in the prices of
refined Sugar, We're also contributing fac
! tors. The advance in sterling exchange
| and the higher rates for discounts in Lon
don created an impression that the move
ment of gold this way was over, tempo
| rarily at least, and in the absence of de-
| tails little credence was placed in the Lon
don rumor of a probable shipment of So,
! 100000 of gold to New York this week. The
! unfaVorable developments referred to in
| duced some selling for the short account,
| and close observers of the markets course
were of the opinion that the bear interest
had been considerably extended during the
session. The Changers and Industrials re-
ceived the principal attention of the pro-
fessonal operators St. Paul declining a
point, and Sugar IA The report that
southern capitalists had secured the Cam
den refinery, and intended to consolidate
it with interests opposed to the trust
found few believers in trade circles. The
| rumor Of a further reduction in refined late
| in the week, however, led to fresh sales
| in the afternoon trading. Other specially
weak stocks were Manhattan, Burlington
| and Quincy, Chicago Gas and Tobacco and
at one time these showed losses of 1Ql12
| per cent. Near the close a firmer tone
/ prevailed and rally of AG1B per cent.
followed. The recovery was attributed to
covering of short contracts. Speculation
left off firm. Net changes show declines
of Ad13s per cent, the latter in Burlington
and Quincy. In the inactive issues, Hi

ferred jumped to a2915 Total sales were
