Currency shipments to the interior were between
four and five million, and the statement reflects
this IL decrease OF legal tenders She
amount of $400S.000, while specie is $204, 700

Compared with the statement of the correspond

p changes: Leans have increased $ll6,221, 100, or
about 25 per cent; net deposits 81 "a, 6S7 500,
ABOUT 40 per cent and the total reserve has in

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. y. y. Sept. 1.-The market held
remarkably seady to-day considering the fact
that Sunday and holiday to intervene be-
fore the resump. ion Of trading and that realizing
has been quite large scale all week. There
liquidation in progress to-day. London also
bought qure freely in this market OF the interna-
iional shares and a buoyant tone also re-
ported on London-A American exchange. Operators
who have been recent dominant factor in the
marke; did not share in the dealings to-day, and
no one STOCK was pushed o a sensational point as
prop to the market, had been the case on
every other day this week. The advance in
Northern Pacific did, however, give evi dence Of
manipulation
The-stocks Jagged in the general advance owing
10 the poor showing of other lines. The motive
assigned for tc-dav's advance was the benef: TO
resui TO the road from The clause OF the tariff law
levying a discriminating duty on foreign goods
brought into the country through acontlguons
country. No announce Mt has been made OF the
Interpretation given to this clause by the Attor-
ney-G General, who now has it under confederation
: he market was under considerable pressure after
the OPENING on offerings 10 realize and declines
were general:
The week has witnessed the liquidation OF some
very heavy holdings of socks 10 realize profits on
the rise, WHICH commenced in the grangeis on
Monday. 1t has p ogressed ST eadi lily since then
and has kept the prices OF recent favortes in the
speculation more or less depressed. ! he market
has b. saved from large reaction in face OF this
heavy liquidation oy the sustaining force OF indi-
vidual stocks the prices of which have beea
rushed forward IN a sensational manner, under
manipulation. Each day of the week since on
day has seen a new stock brought forward and put
through the operation
on TUESDAY it was sugar which was forced up
eig hi points Interpretation of old facts
Pardlng the probable exc usion OF duties
fl ed sugars. ON Wed nesday sugar made 10
serve the same purpose through the morning
hours with jump OF per
he successive upward bounds of different stocks
. and the continuous liquidation which attended
them have made a sensational and extrem ely ir-
regular market week II he greater part of the
advances have been well maintained and the vol
ume OF dealings has shown constantly broaden
ing demand the sales on Friday approaching the
,.,rfrra AM
mum a Saturday
That this tremendous speculation has absorbed
a vast SUI of money 8 evident from the Gearing
house sta eTnents and still more evident from
hardening OF exchange ra es during the week, the
purchase OF securities abroad having app irently
Cffset the heavy foreign purchases OF our bread
stuffs The absor piion OF funds has ma lie no ap-
precIabe effect the rates for money, wili' siii
remain unpreceden:edy cheap The movement
OF currency to the interior has been larger tnan
