NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-There was no
more CT a market in the real sense Of the
term today than there has been on the
stock exchange throughout the past fort
night The days price movements we're
mere than usually irregular, but for the
most part were limited to fractional
changes. Stocks of The same class and
affected by common circumstances moved
in contrary directions under the merely
technical conditions of the market which
determined the dealings at large.
London's influence was agair chiefly
negative. The market there continued to
sag on account of the various matters en-
gaging attention, among which there may
be cited the hardening money market, the
apprehended labor troubles, and the fear
of serious international political comph-
cations

although it advanced both at Berlin and
at Paris. 1t does not appear probable
that in the ordinary course of business
there will be any further gold shipments
on account of the payments against the
new British loan unless special induce
ments should be held out by the con-
signees.
There was little actual news bearing on
particular stocks. apart from the days
returns of railway traffic. which were for
the most part again gratifying exhibits.
AS noted, the days net price changes
were both limited and irregular. The
particular weakness which appeared in
the anthracite coal shares could be re-
ferred TO threatened labor troubles in the
anthracite coal regions. In the industrial
quarter a rather sharp decline in Ameri
can Steel Hoop was referred to similar
cause.
In the early dealings the railway list,
notably St Paul and Burlington and
Quincy was weak. but the initial declines
were for the most part recovered before
the close. Atchison preferred, Missouri
Pacific ard the lower priced railway
shares generally were firm. The fuctua-
lions in the fancy grades Of stocks, inelud
ing Peoples Gas. Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
and in Sugar Refining were again fairly
wide. but all of, those stocks showed a
nrmer tone.
The market at large showed, indeed,
that owing TO its present narrow limits,
operations for fall had resulted in the de-
velopment of rather extended short ac-
count. The DAVIS total sales attained
only meagre aggregate, and the trading
was Of 10 less a professional character
than it has been for long time past.

Nc deellne in the stoek market halted

The decline in the stock market halted
temporarily at least yesterday. Prices
made triiing advances after weak open
ing and the close was in most cases some
what above the close on Monday. The
bulls again began to hope that the upward
turn Of prices is coming. The bears talk
Of the better strength as simply a short
intermission in a long downward move
ment. AS matter of fact, neither party
is in the right The market is simply a
professional one and the little decline has
probably given way to an advance that
will be equally insignificant. Nothing Of
Importance should be expected b. either
party. The summer dullness is still in
force and is not likely TO give way to any
thing better in the near future. The news
yesterday was Of the most meagre char
aeter. The earnings statements what
there were of them, were all good, the
July statement of the Atchison being one
OF those worthy Of particular mention. The
weakness in Jersey Central and Reading
first preferred stocks gave rise TO further
gossip regarding the probability of strike
among the anthracite miners and another
story was circulated late In the afternoon
10 the effect that the employees of the
Jersey Central are disconnected and likely
TO 90 on a strike. American securities
were sold in an uninteresting and unim-
prices went of fractionally there. The
banks have gained from the Treasury
during the week something more than
100000. and it is supposed that there will
be another good bank statement on Satur-
day. 1t is said that there is no prospect
OF gold exports this week or at any time
in the near future. All danger OF these
shipments to the Other side is not over
as yet, however and :he outlook now is
#fs~H -.
when the greatest volume OF money Is be-
Ing sent to the interior from New York.
This makes the probability OF higher mon
ey rates in the near future very large No
dangerous or even unpleasant stringency
is to be looked for, however. 1t may be
noted that call money rates yesterday
were 12 and / Ia all day.

but il was certain that il was better than

net gain above the close on Monday The
