Late Activity and Strength

MONEY RATHER EASIER
Gold Expected From Abroad
in Case of Need.

New York. Aug. &-The stock market
was a dull affair for the greater part Of
the day, drifting within q narrow range.
Some strength was shown by a few iso-
lated stocks throughout the day under
the influence which was not disclosed by
any published news. This persistent
strength In some spots seemed to arouse
the apprehension Of the bears In the last
hour OF the market The manner in
which prices were marked up in the late
dealings indicated . good deal Of a
scramble by the shorts to cover their
contracts and awakened more appearance
Of animation and strength than has been
seem in the market for some time. The
higher prices for Americans made In
London were without much effect and
they were for the most part nominal and
London sold from 12.oo0 to 1900 shares
here after the opening There was early
strength In Anaconda and a few of this
speclalties. but q period OF reaction fol-
lowed under realizing in Tobacco and
Kansas City. Pittsburg and Gulf. Then
the Minneapolis and st. Louis stocks rose
and IA. respectively. There was a
late movement In the coaiers. which lift
ed them from TO . IL. with a notable
effect on the whole list. Other stocks
showing notable gains were Consolidated,
Gas. 4 "a. and Pacific Coast second pre-
ferred. Colorado Fuel Peop'e's Gas.
Brooklyn Transit. Steel and Wire. Ameri-
can Linseed OIL preferred and a few less
prominent stocks advanced "a point. A
very strong upward movement in Sugar
from 15s 1-s to 162 "a was the decisive in
fiuence in the late strength Of the mar
ket, which closed active and strong at net
gains In nearly all cases. The tone OF
the money market was called rather
easier. though rates were not quotably
changed. The hardening tendency OF
London discounts still continued but the
money rate at Berlin was a fraction
lower and sterling exchange there adj
vanced, showing relaxation Of the ten
sion at that point notwithstanding that
the Bank of England continues to make
demands upon Berlin for gold. Sterling
exchange here continued its downward
course and confidence grows that gold
will come from abroad If an emergency
here demands It. The free offerings Of
funds from outside sources I'm the New
York money market increases the belief
that small demands will be made upon
New York for money to move the crops.
There were late reports OF weakness in
the London market Tor silver on account
OF irnportations from Chill.

MORRIS COUNTY.
PoMoLoGIcAL SOCIETY.

The twenty sixth biennial session Of
this grand old society will be held at
Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia, Sep
TENDER 7-8, 1899. This society, which
is the only existing national organization
of amateur horticulturists in America,
has maintained an unbroken existence
since 1848. AS is well known, its meet
ings are held biennially in different parts
of the country, the session of 1897 having
been at Columbus, Ohio, and that of 1895
at Sacramento and Los Angeles, Cal.
The last session in the Eastern States
was in 1891 at Washington.
A large exhibit of new fruits and cul-
tural implements will be an interesting
feature Of The meeting. AS the meeting
occurs during the Grand Army Encamp-
ment, the reduced rates of fare made by
the railroads for that occasion can be
utilized. Inquire of your local railroad
agent for particulars.
Exhibits of promising new Seeding
or of choice old varieties that are little
known are solicited for exhibition in
competition for the Wilder medals,
which are awarded to exhibits of special
excellence at these meetings. No en-
trance fee is charged on exhibits.
