New York Aug. 1.-The tendency of
prices at the stock exchange at the opening
was upward, a fair inquiry prevailing for
the standard issues and the Industrals.
In the case OF the last named Sugar and
Chicago Gas were in the best demand the
former rising 10 los, the best of the week,
while Chicago Gas advanced IL TO 81. The
strength of Sugar was again ascribed TO
buying for Havemeyer-Keene account The
improvement in the standard stocks out
side Of Lake Shore was unimportant, say
lsmA per cent. The stock named, however,
rose ~ to 1887 and commission houses,
especially those connected with the ster-

brought about a decline of 2is per cent in
Sugar and M0l per cent. in the usually

fesslonal account. Speculation closed

cent. lower on the day. Lake Shore gained
IA per cent, and Consolidated Gas l per
cent Minneapolis and st. Louis LIST. pre-
