NEW YORK MARKETS.
Financial.

to-day Influenced by the deposits of gold at
the sub-treasury. the reduction in exchange and
TO an extent by the advces from ST. Louis regard
ing the convention of the Populists AT the open
ing and closing the market was rather weak. but
in interim it displayed great deal Of strength.
The opening was Disappointing. owing to the re-
ceipt of lower cables from London, it having been
expected that the foreigners would buy our stocks
ia view of the efforts making TO keep the Govern
ment on gold basis The contrary proved true
and in fact London houses took advantage OF the
high prices to turn their paper profits into cash.
The early decline was equal to per cent IN
s scTe tPe per m sps
heavy deposits OF gold by the banks, which re-
suited in the restoration OF the treasury gold re-
serve to 500, 100000, and reports from st. Louis
that the Populists would not indorse Bryan after
all, started up lively buying on the part Of the
Central, the Grangers and Industrials led the up
ward movement, and the trading in these Issues
were animated.
The bulk of the buying was for the short account,
although commission houses took moderate
investment. In the late trading there were realiza
tions, and the big bears renewed their attacks A
decline OF 1z@1sA per cent followed in the general
list while Manhattan dropped to 931zc, a less OF
2sz per cent. This stock was heavy throughout
the day. The selling by the bear contingent near
the close was due to Information from ST. Louis
that the friends of Bryan had captured the con-
vention and that he would be either nominated or
indorsed. Speculation closed steady.
