NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Aug 21.-rhe Wall
street fraternity inclined to be hys-
ter.cal to-day on vague suggestion of
a distressing character together with
some legitimate depressing Influences
RumorS were current at the outset
that meeting of the Clearing House
committee had been called to c0nsid-
er the adyiSabiEty of an immediate is
sue of certificates. Upon inquiry, Of
ficias at the Clearing House and lead
ing bankers declared that such a step
had been considered for some time
since and a decision reached that no
issue would be made except in case Of
extreme necessity. The condition OF
financial and commercial affairs was
not believed 10 call for an issue of Ger
tificates, although it was conceded
that i'm some eases OVer-eNtended bust
ness concerns were having trouble in
securing financial accommodations.
The exchange market was erratic, al
though very dull, and after an early
slight advance in actual and posted
figures, reacted ON a stiffening in call
money rates to an extreme of Z per
cent 1t was reported that the total
gold afoat destined for this city
amounted to S2,750,O00, and Il
purchase of $1.000,000 in eagles
for shipment to this side
was noted in London. Bull
Hon dealers denied reports that gold
was being bought at stiff premium,
and the metal was offered ''to arrive
at a Premium Of "a per cent without
takers. The money market was
unchanged as regards the
time funds. aside from an alleged
slightly easier tone, and the bulk OF
the transactions on call were made
at an average of 405 per cent The
bears made capital out of estimates
of Il probable decrease of $3,500,000 to
So ,000, 900 in the reserves of the Asso-
ciated banks in to-mOrrew's state
ments of averages, but on the other
hand it was rumored that the banks
would pool their resources, so as TIC
avoid the issue of Clearing House certi-
ficates. Predictions had been freely
made of a demonstration against West
ern Union and were confirmed by a
vigorous raid.
The bears were favored in their eff
forts against the market in successive
reports of further rate cutting by the
railroads. As n result of the foregoing
developments and a reported unfavoR
able impression in London regarding
the monetary outlook here, the market
ON decrease dealings. trended toward
lower level generally. The final
prices generally showed sharp frac
tional net declines i'm the ac.~ye list
The bond market ruled dull with
decided weakness in the speculative
issues The sales were S5ha 40.
Government bonds were weak on
sales of $4,000 Silver certificates
were strong and jumped ~ per cent
