STOCK MARKET RUFFLED.
It's Tone Was Somewhat Feverish
md Renctionary.

New York, Aug. 1s.-The stock market
today was much less animated than yes
terday. and its tone was somewhat fe-
verish and reactionary. The heavy profit
realizing sales of the week, which appear
to have been induced altogether by the
extent and rapidity OF the advance of
the past fortnight. seemed 10 have finally
outstripped the buying power, and the
days price changes reflected entirely
these technical conditions. AT any rate,
there was nothing in the news of the
day or were there any changes in the
material outside situation to turn the
course of the market.
Foreign houses shifted their operations
to the long side of the account and on
balance purchased several thousand
shares of stocks though their dealings in
this market were inerfered with by the
interruption of the cable service. The
reversal of the tendency of foreign deal
ings were at once followed by a percepti-
ble weakening in sterling exchange which
was one of the few circumstances of in
terest in the days situation. The rail-
satisfactory while all the advices upon
the trade situation, and particularly on
the iron industry, were highly gratify-
ing.
While the short interest in the market
has doubtless been largely eliminated
through the protracted rise in prices, the
character of the trading today and the
afternoon loan market for stocks indicat-
ed that the short account had again as
sumed considerable proportions. Still, it
was unQuestionably the extensive profit
taking sales under which the market de-
veloped its reactionary tone, and in the
days market the effect of this selling was
increased by reason of its apparent origin
in quarters identified with extensive op-
erations on the BUN side of the account
These general circumstances encoura ged
the bearish room traders TO a more ag-
gressive policy than they have pursued
in some weeks. and their efforts toward
establishing a lower range of prices were
facilitated by the existence in the market
of large numbers of stop loss orders in
many stocks, not to speak of the natural
ly weakened position of the market as the
result of the enthusiastic weeks specula-
tion.
There were no important exceptions TO
the reactionary tendency of the market
anu the variations IN the ilSt were only
those IN respect to activity. and extent
of decline. The market opened strong,
and during the forenoon held fairly firm
Its subsequent tendency, however was
a sagging one and the close showed some
substantial recessions. These were most
pronounced in Peoples Gas, Sugar, the
Grangers. and the Pacific stocks The
lower priced stocks, as a rule, were
firm, and number of them left off
with material net gains on the day, not
withstanding the afternoon reaction.

MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT.
The Central Stamping Company
Meets With Reye rses.

New York, Aug 1S.-The Central Stamp
ing Company, manufacturers of tin and
sheet metal articles, whose office is at
25 Cliff Street, with factories at Hewes
and South Second Streets. Brooklyn, and
5o7 Ferry Street, Newark, N. j., made an
assignment today to Alfred B. Turner,
jr., of Patterson, n. j. The deed was
signed by John H. Sprague, president,
and George w. Ketcham, secretary.
Enoeh Ketcham was treasurer and Wal
ter NJ. Aikman, vice president.
The company was originally organized
In December 1854, with capital stock of
s500000, absorbed five of the largest COM
panies in the tinware trade in the coun-
try and was in the tinware trust. Brad
streets reports state that when the con-
solidation took place the factories and
equipments Of the five firms were leased
10 the company for ten years al rental
of SIS, 600 q year each. During the ten
years, the company did very. large and
prosperous business and reported large
surplus. AT the expiration Of the ten
years there was a disruption of relations
between those in the company. and La
lance a. Grosjean and the st. Louis
stamping company Withdrew and We're
followed by Frederick Haberman & Co.
The stock of the retiring members was
purchased by the other stockholders. The
old company was involved in considera-
BILE litigation and the company was final
ly reorganiZed and reincorporated on
June /, 1896, with capital stock of $780,
COO
In August. 1895, the company met with a
serious setback by the destruction by fire
of the Newark factory, and was obliged
10 have part of its goods manufactured
by outsiders. The factory was rebuilt
and made one of the best of its kind
in the country. This required the outlay
of large amount of money. and the COM
pany took advantage of the good nature
of Iew creditors.
But the company no longer had mo-
nopo!y of the business. 1t had 10 meet
the strongest kind of opposition and
could not dictate prices. There were also
interests of different estates in the COM
pany, and after careful consideration
the directors had concluded that II was
for the best interest of the stockholders
and cerditors that the company should
20 into liquidation. A meeting of credit
ors will be held on Tuesday next and the
assignee will act on whatever plan IN :
creditors deem best as TO the future con-
duct of the business.
The liabilities are between s270, $50 and
$500 600. one-third for merchandise, one
third for bank accounts, ard one-third for
loans. The nominal assets are over $500, =
600 in machinery, plant. materials, mer-
chandise, etc. The company owns no real
estate.

RELEASING THE RESERVES.
This Branch of the Service Is Now
Through.

The naval reserves have concluded their
services in this war. They are practically
out of service now, but the general order
formally releasing them will not be made
until tomorrow.
The Michigan reserves were reviewed on
the Yosemite at League rsland, Philadel-
phia, yesterday, and were mustered out
after the review. The naval review at
New York tomorrow viii terminate the
work of the remainder of this branch of
the service.
The discharge of all members of the
reserve viii take effect Immediately upon
their arrival home. This is made neces-
sary by a popularity of the naval law,
which does not allow the navy to pay
transportation for mustered-out men.
The Navy Department has made of the
discharges handsome official documents,
which the volunteer sailors will be glad
TO preserve. Each has the record of the
discharged, with the name of the ship he
served on, and his markings for seaman
ship and gunnery.

By far the most Interesting event of the
convention was the address OF Mr. Gho-
a.e, delivered this morning in Conven-
tiCn Hail, in which he voiced the national
sentiments on the war and eulogized and
defended the jury system f legal pre-
cedure. There was great professional GU
riosity on the part of delegates not per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Choate, 10
hear him, and there was large audi
once present.
The convention then took up reports
OF committees. Strange as il must seem.
the committee on grievances had none
and so made no report. The comm tie
on commercial law commented favorabiy
on the new bankruptcf .aw, and the
committee on international law comment
ed on the advance made in international
law in the war, and fhe great part the
policy OF declaring coll contraband OF
war had in crushing Spain's naval power

For some reason or other, the associa-

gest.on of this resolution, and made haste
10 get rid OF it by referring it, on motion
of Simon Baldwin, of Conaect-c-t, TO

and activity of Wednesday. The rush of
buying on Wednesday made the advance
of prices more rapid than the market
could stand. AS a consequence there was
yesterday much profit taking and a re-
taxation in prices, though 1t did not con-
tinue nearly to the point where the gains
were wiped out. The selling yesterday
and a tagging in the buying that accom-
panied 1t are not to be considered serious
as far as being indications of lack of con-
fidence in the future strength of securities
There was all day steady undercurrent
of demand, which, in the luils of selling,
made itself manifest Immediately in quick
recoveries- 1t was noticeable, too that
much of the heavy selling was in some of
the ndustriais, which seem to have been
pushed up to figures entirely too high by
clique manipulation. The outlook for to-
day is good for return of the advance,
though perhaps it may not be so strong
as on Wednesday.

Tobacco and Sugar fiuctuated together
at almost identical prices yesterday. The
thing has not been seen before for many
months. The conditions of the two COM
panies are entirely different. Sugar stock
is now at a lower price than II was
month ago. Tobacco, on the other hand,
has had a phenomenal rise In the last
three weeks This movement in the stocks
reflects 10 certain extent the conditions
of the companies affairs. The fight of
the sugar trust with the Arbuckles is
having the legitimate effect of lowering
the price of the stock. There is a general
disposition on the street to believe that
the clique behind tobacco has been doing
considerable manipulation, and that the
present price of the stock may be high
enough for the present.
