STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. Interpretations of
a higher money market caused weak
tone to the stock market to-day, which
was accumulated after the publication
of the bank statement Predictions as
to further expansion in loans were not
borne out, the statement on the con-
trary showing a decrease in this item
of $1,645,300. This unexpected good
showing, however, was more than Off
set by a loss in cash of 50, us, 900, which
was quite unexpected, as the estimates
yesterday figured on a gain of nearly
three-q quarters of a million dollars.
Some uneasiness was also felt at the
efforts being made to close various
steel mills which have continued in
operation since the strike was declar-
ed. Persistent selling of the United
States Steel stocks, which made ex-
IRENE declines of q and 13s, respec-
lively, for the common and preferred,
stimulated bear selling at other quar-
ters Prices yielded steadily from the
outset especially for the Changers,
Pacific, local fractions, Sugar and
Amalgamated Copper. which were low
cred from 1 to points. The Southern
and anthracite and bituminous coal
road stocks also relapsed sharply.
In the final dealings trading was a
shade more active, but the closing was

pronounced weakness in the sterling
exchange market offerings, of all class
of bills being very large with scarcely
any inquiry. Demand bills were mark
ed down to s4.S6%, but long sterling
was well held.
Railroad bonds showed less improve
ment during the week than stocks, but
there was more general purchases of
high grade issues.
United States bonds were unchanged
on the call price of last week.
The sales of stocks to-day were 49,
