BALTIMORE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 23.-The interest in to-
days stock market was rather languid,
in spite of some brisk operations on the
part of the speculative pools, and a sub
stantial increase in the surplus reserves
of the banks, which is usually made a
signal for an upward movement of stocks.
1t did not escape notice however, that
the actual reserves of the bank failed
to show the expected small improvement,
The turn in the tide of the Sub-Treasury
operations having taken up entirely the
contribution to the money market made
earlier in the week, so that the cash
of the banks was decreased some 1877 300.
The contraction in the loans of $40, 460.-
100 shows that the funds which supplied
the stock market during the week came
from the trust companies and from pro-
ceeds of borrowings abroad, as had been
supposed. The action of the banks in
reducing their loan account is in eXpec-
tation of the coming demand from the
interior, which has evidently set in for
the season. The decision to postpone
the dissolution of the Southern Railway
voting trust by refraining from the dec
laration of the dividend on the preferred
stock had only a slightly depressing eff
feet upon that company's stocks, as 1T
is supposed to be a step towards the
completion of the arrangement with the
Louisville and Nashville. Colorado Fuel
and Iron was cratic and became weak
after an early advance. The newly ar
river operator whose buying advanced
rived operator whose buying advanced
nouncements to explain the faith that
was in him. and the demand for Penn
sylvania was supposed to come from the
same source. The moderate advance that
followed these movements and the publ
cation of the bank statement met selling
TO realize and the market closed irregu-
lar.
The bond market was unsettled this
week by the reduction of the yearly in
terest disbursement on the Central of
Georgia first income bonds from five to
three per cent and resultant liquidation

NEW YORK COTTON
New York, Aug 23.-The cotton market
opened very steady in tone with prices
one TO four points higher on fairly active
general buying in which the August and
September shorts at once took the lead.
There was comparatively little cotton for
sale and bear operators were slow. to
take the short side until more was known
of the intentions of August longs. The
Liverpool cables reflected nothing more
than a moderate response to the firm
ness here late yesterday, while the news
from the crop country was better so far
as the weather was concerned. The crop
accounts, however, continued of a pessi
lnistic order. The government map gave
showers over the Central and Eastern
belt and for tonight and tomorrow fore
easted rains n all sections except a por
tion of the Western belt. The first wave
of buying carried August to S.52, and jan
uary to 1856. Then came a light profit
taking movement under which prices
eased off to last nights bids. This, in
turn, was followed by another upward
movement on fresh demand from the
shorts who seemed to be very uneasy and
averse to going home on the bear side
and risk over Sunday developments in the
crop country. The September shorts in
particular were uncomfortable and bid
that option up to S.14. Trading con-
tinued fairly active all the early ses-
sion with sentiment on the whole favor
