New York, Aug. s.-The stock market to-
DAY was a tame affair the dealings footing
UP little over 5000 shares Of which three
stocks. Sugar, St Paul and Manhattan
figured for 6l,i00 shares. The movement
throughout was entirely professional. Lon
don furnished no business TO speak OF. IL
having been Bank Of England holiday.
Wnle nome operators were inclined 10 go
SLOW until the political situation is better
understood. At the opening. the market
weakened under sales of st. Paul This
selling was attributed to the demoraliza-
ton OF rates in the west and had an ad-
verse influence on the general market. AZ
ter the early decline, which ranged from
4 to rs per cent in the unusually active
list and % per cent. in Manhattan. the
market improved slightly. Manhattan fell
10 S944, the lowest in years, and was the
result of reiterated reports of decreased
earnings and rumOrs of a proposed reduc-
ton IN dividends, which cannot be con-
nImed- Sugar was strengthened at the
opening by the advance in certain grades
Of refined, but later on the stock fell from
l04 to 1928, and closed at 1885. The fluctua-
tons in the railway list call for no
special mention. Speculation clos
ed quiet Net changes show losses
of lQ1l5 per cent Manhattan and Laclede
Gas leading. Bonds were irregular; sales
footed up $4,000.
