Rod of inactivity. Sugars dividend time
is approaching. and 1t IS not unlikely
that today's movement was an attempt to
discount that event.
Money conditions manifested no material
change, all loans opening at 51s per cent,
with an increasing demand for reduced
supply of time accommodations. Never
theless conservative banking interests pro-
fessed to feel more at ease regarding the
outlook, basing their hopes on the belleI
that the banks of the west and south
west are preparing to DO much of their
own crop financing also that the govern
ment will continue as occasion requires to
replenish the money supply at interior
points. Western advices show that the
outlook as regards the railroads continues

decline of prices early in the afternoon.
The features of greatest weakness were
ST. Paul Smelling, Chicago Northwestern,
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and Uni
ted States Steel while a number of spe-
.oialties registered marked recessions. The
movement was accelerated by selling from
London, which reported sharp declines in
Russian securities. The closing was weak
at about the lowest prices of the day.
Further weakness was shown In foreign
exchanges, which declined to 1920 just
before the markets close, the lowest point
of the present movement.
Noteworthy railway returns of the day,
besides that of Atchison, were Louisville
and Nashville and Southern railway,
showing gross Increases for July of $780,
900 and $6280OO respectively. A drop Of

conditions of affairs in that country.

LIST TENDS TO HEAVINESS

New York, August 27.-New high rec
ords were registered by St. Paul and At
Gibson in the course of today's stock mar
ket which was for the most part irregu-
lar and dull, rejecting the proht-taking
IN the Hartman issues and other stocks
whose recent advances have been most
meteoric. Atchisons high-water mark was
attributed to the returns of that system
for July, which show a net increase OF
$4,000.
The lists tendency toward heaviness,
however. reflected the disappointment
shown at the failure of our bankers to
secure a share of South African gold land
ed In London. AS matter of fact all the
days developments suggested an absence
of anything like urgent demand for the
metal from this quarter. There was little
change in the foreign exchange situation,
although the rate weakened some more
later in the day and the only interesting
feature regarding this phase was the an
nouncement of an engagement of $4,000
Australian gold, which will not be re-
ceived for some weeks. The days trading
was below that of recent days and was
again largely limited to the same stocks
