NEW YORK, August 25.-The stock
market movements to-day. as of late
were dull and uninteresting. The sales
were even smaller than yesterday, footing
up only 1925 shares. The dealings IN
railway and miscellaneous mortgages
however, showed a slight increase, ag-
gregating a little over 10000. Stocks
started off weak, but the declining ten
dency was checked by the announcement
that the steamship Teutonic. sailing from
Liverpool tomorrow, will bring out $780,
900 gold. consigned 10 a New York firm
and by further decline Of lie. in the
posted rates Of sterling exchange.
The fact that there has been no neees-
sity to issue clearinghouse loan certih-
Gates as yet, and that one OF the city
banks was the heaviest lender OF money
on call to-day, assisted the recovery in
prices. The bank I'm question was the first
10 suggest the issuance of loan certih-
Gates, and made the application simply
for the purpose Of assisting other institu-
lions in case OF need. The corporation is
one OF the strongest down town.
In regards 10 gold imports, it was stated
that the banks and the foreign exchange
syndicate had decided to bring twenty
millions of the metal from Europe This
report first gained currency when the
banks restored the Treasury reserve TO
the nged-million mark, some weeks
| ago, and was denied at that time. There
has been no new development since, al
though II IS believed that the movements
of gold TO this country will continue for
at least a month or six weeks longer.
Near the close the early rise Of 1-4Ql IA
per cent. was generally lost, and report
had il that McKinley's letter OF accept
ance would give more prominence 10 the
| tariff than has generally been looked Tor
here. This had some influence In certain
quarters. and accounts for the reactionary
tendency. The selling was Of light pro-
portions. however, and the depression OF
values insignificant.
speculation closed weak. Net changes
show losses Of 1-4q1 per cent. Western
Union and Sugar made slight gains. In
the specialtles Minnesota Iron declined ),

10000.
