New York Aug. 27.-The developments
in financial circles to-day were generally
of a favorable character, but they exert
ed no influence on speculation, which is
practically dead for the time being. The
Mckinley letter of acceptance was receiv-
ed with favor, at least that part which
referred to the currency question. More
important than this, so far as the street
is concerned was the announcement of
the engagement of additional amounts of
gold in Europe for shipment to New YORK.
and the further weakening in sterling ex-
change. Posted rates for 60-day bills
were reduced re to S4.S31a, while demand
bills actually sold as low as 4.83A@484
So far as known nearly $10,000,0O0 gold
have been engaged for Importation TO
this country, and good authorities esti-
mate the inflow during the next thirty
days at twice this amount. On the arrI-
val of this fresh capital, money rates
ought to weaken and this usually is q
bull argument. To-day money on call
ranged from to Is per cent, until near
the close, when unemployed balances
were offered at per cent. J. p. Morgan
&, CO. were responsible for the break in
the rate from Is to 6 per cent. While the
market for stocks was in a state of stag
nation, the undertone except for a short
period, was steady to firm. Western
Union Chicago Gas and Tobacco were the
weak spots and at one time showed losses
of 1ssd1% per cent. Near the close the
failure Of John Bloodgood & Co. was an
nounced, but as the firm had no outstand-
ing contracts on the exchange it had no
influence. The market closed quiet ana
steady in tone. with prices generally A4h
per cent above yesterdays final quota
tions. Total sales were only SO. 259 shares,
including 1900 St. Paul, 14,700 Sugar. $500
