| New York, Aug. 2O.-The engagement Of
/ 100000 gold in London yesterday, for
/ shipment TO New York. did not have the
| effect on stock prices confidently predict
\ ed by operators of bullish proclivites. In
/ fact the market for securities, after a
/ moderate advance, developed weakness.
/ and in the final hour the lowest figures of
the day were generally current At the
| start the indifference of London was a
! disappointment. Later on, when there
| was an actual demand for sterling ex-
! change the market recovered sharply
! with reported further imports of gold the
/ bearish' element became more aggressive.
| Special attention was paid to Western
| Union, Sugar and other Industrials, and
in the absence of support the bears were
able to make some impression on prices.
| Sugar declined a to 1913 1-6, Western Union
| to 7M; Chicago Gas, 1ss to 81, Rock Is
| land, 19s to SIS, Northwestern, y to 9315.
| Louisville and Nashville a to 80 and Man
haitian rs to 1914. In the afternoon ses-
sion brokers, usually representing leading
| bears, were the largest sellers. Reports
| were again current that the banks in
! tended to issue clearing house certificates
chr rf1r hue q
| so far as the issue of certificates is con-
! cerned. 1t ought to be understood by this
| that the banks stand ready to afford all
| the necessary accommodations to the
| mercantile community and that the clear
ing house committee is still with all of its
machinery. Speculation closed weak in
tone, with prices anywhere from a to rs
per cent below yesterdays final figures.
Total sales were ,7I shares, including
4S, 400 Sugar, $500 ST. Paul, 1920 Burling-
ton and Quincy, and 10000 Western Union.
Bonds were lower. Sales footed up $542,-
600.
