A MARKED FALLING OFF.
Railroad Stocks Showed but Little Activity
Compared with Last Week.

Call Money Was stiffy Held mt 3
Per Cent All Day and
Closed Higher.

New York, August 2s,-There was marked
falling of OF interest in railroad stocks today.
compared with that prevailing last week. In
terost shifted to the industrial specialties, and
n number of these were marked up In a fever
ish and irregular manner. The general list
was maintained with difficulty. and slight
furry in can money in the last hour carried
prices. with a few exceptional cases of
strength, below last nights level In the final
hardening movement on covering by n num-
Der OF short specialtes and few obscure
railroad stocks, arose new type OF traders
An influential factor in the hesitating tone
OF speculation was the renewed anxiety over
the money market outlook, caused by Satur-
days bank statement, Cali money was quite
stifhy held at 5 per cent all day and was
marked above that in the last hour. But the
fact remains that the present low stage OF the
surplus reserve OF New York clearing house
banks keeps the financial world well observant
and in a somewhat uneasy frame of mind
Professions of confidence that The West is
amply provided with funds to finance the COM
inp crop movement without Gaining on New
York do not altogether avail in tue face OF
the condition of the local banks. The buying
for London account which has served to sus-
tain some stocks recently, was missed
There were upward movements OF impor-
lance today in the tobacco stocks, Manhattan,
street Railway. Sugar and some
of the iron and steel stocks. the latter under
the influence of a declaration of dividend
in Republic steel of IA, per cent, called quar-
terly. American Export jumped 10 points over
price On the other hand, there
was weakness in International Paper, Colo

mand were Southern Railway preferred and
