who say those articles alone are
worth the price of the paper to
them.

The stock Market.

New York, Aug. 12.-There was some continuation to-day of yesterdays sell ing to realize on the recent sustained advance in stocks. The bears were much more aggressive and sold stocks with growing confidence as the day progressed. The advantage at the close was clearly with the bear contingent, but the bulls were by no means routed and continued to absorb their favorite stocks, which resisted the decline quite firmly, but without overcoming the gen. eral downward tendency.
 The effects of last nights furry in call money were still perceptibe this morning, when call loans were made at 9 per cent. There is nothing which brings so quick a response in a specu lative market as a stiffening of call money, and the buying of stocks halted this morning. It was expected that the cash absorbed by the treasury on ac- count of the government loan would in the future be left on deposit with na- tional banks, but government deposits with these banks for some reason have not kept pace with the treasury's ab- sorption of cash on bond account. The money rate eased off during the day and closed at 1A bid, The bears by that time were forced to seek other material for their campaign. The persistent weakness of Manhattan all day on re- ports of decreased earnings was fac- tor in their favor
 Prices of stocks hardened very per- ceptibly during the middle portion of the day after the fears of tight money had somewhat subsided. The bulls took hold of the low-priced railroad stocks and bid up Northern Pacific and Union Pacific over a point. The bears final raid in the last hour was centered on Louisville and Nashville in connection with the statement of earnings for the first week in August, showing a de- crease of oyer $1S,00O There was a private telegram from Chicago in cir culation reporting yellow fever in Tex as and Alabama. Louisville dropped 2 points below last night under this on- slaught.
 The bears expressed their apprehen- sion that the Anglo-Russian crisis l would result in forced liquidation in New 4ork for London account, though London was buyer of stocks here ear Her in the day. The market reacted all around, some stocks falling to the low est, but others showing quite a firm tone. There was only a very feeble ral- ly, however, and the close was near the low point of the reaction. Net changes were very irregular, quite number of the lowpriced stocks showing sharp | gains.
 | There was a marked falling off in the | business in bonds, under a yielding ten | dency of prices. The Oregon Naviga- tion fours make the second in the list | of reorganization fours to touch par | following closely the Northern Pacific prior liens. The total sales were $3,- ] 730,O0O
