New York, Aug. 26-Indications in the
stock market late yesterday that the 1iqui-
dalton of profits was over for the present
and that powerful interests were prepared
TO re-enter on the long side We're abund-
antly confirmed to-day. Prices were
marked UP sharply at the opening, but
there We're sufficient demand abroad for
our cereal products reduced prices paid for
the South's great staple, raw cotton. Quail
flying the latter might be mentioned the
fact that spring wheat has apparently be-
gun to move lin the Northwest and the
promise of large yields in wheat and cot
ton alike has tended TO depress prices.
Selling orders placed with commission
houses to reduce the gains in the Gran
gers put a stop to the advance The enor-
nous absorption Of the Northern Pacific
stocks, however, was undated and the ag-
gressive strength shown by Sugar also
helped the early rise The continued adj
vance of Minnesota Iron and strength Of
some Of the industrial specialties were also
sustaining forces. The large outside Of
ferings to take profits served to materially
decrease the buying movement, however
and a period of dullness and firmness in
tervened. 1t was terminated by the sud
den movement in Union Pacific, which rose
early above go and was held there for the
balance Of the day. The preferred stock
was also lifted to Ct and the Changers were
all advanced TO near the highest point on
the present movement, and ST. Paul lose
a sharp fraction above It.
A late recovery in Peoples Gas, after
early depression, carrying the price above
107 held the market IN the final transact
tons I'm the face Of some active profit
taking, and an advance In Denver prefer
red Of nearly points helped to the same
end. The money market maintained its
hrmer tone to-day, call loans ranging from
ia TO 2iA Sterling exchange weakened
under the pressure OF grain and cotton
bills giving assurance that prompt relief
may be had for any money stringency.
Profit-t taking was evidenced In some Of the
speculative bonds to-day, but the standard
issues were mainly firm Total sales, g.
10000. Government bonds were unchang-
ed.
