BY ALEXANDER DANA MOVES.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.


New York, Aug. 12-All markets
lapsed into narrow mechanical
movement today, with only such
fluctuations of prices as a few rest
less professional spectators could
occasion. On the stock exchange
the professional activities pushed
prices up in most cases; stocks sold
for a decline earlier in the week, be-
ing bought back on the approach of
the weekend. The statement given
out in the afternoon by the bankers
in charge of the Mercantile Bank of
the Americas added little to what
Wall street already knew of the
matter. But the fact that formal
public statement had been made re-
garding the attitude of the bankers
Syndicate presumably had good Ell
feet. The situation is at least no
longer what it was two or three
months ago, when the absence OF
authoritative statements in matters
which had perplexed and disturbed
the financial community gave un-
limited opportunity for extravagant
Wall street rumor.
Stocks Advance.
Advances of point or more were nu-
merous in the stock market, both with
industrial and railway shares. There were
exceptions to the recovery and one or Two
sharp declines, but the markets general
movement was upward and closing prices
in most stocks were near the days high
est Call MT ey did not vary from the
6 per cent rate at which 1t has stood since
Thursday of last week.
Foreign exchange was firm as rule,
with sterling fractionally higher, but the
German rate distinctly weak. There was
a disposition in the market to ascribs
the lower rate on Berlin to doubt over
the outcome of the disputed claims of
Poland and Germany in the division or
Silesia.
The weekend mercantile reviews indt-
cate, on the whole, a slow improvement
in the state of trade, based as the SINH
lar condition of recent weeks has been,
on the halt in the long continued fall of
prices. Yet the signs of betterment still
seem to exist, rather in the feeling OF
the trade than in actual business.

New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 12.-Business in the
cotton market was fairly active this
morning and prices had an irregular open
ing at from 8 points advance to 3 de-
cline. Wall Street and Liverpool sold
while some of the spot houses and local
traders bought on reports Of continued
high temperatures in Texas. After the
start the market was quieter and acted
easier, declining generally 7Q10 points
under last nights close.
BuIish private crop reports pointing
to further reduction in the indicated
yield of about 100000 bales, checked the
decline around 1866 for December and
started enough buying to send the price
up to 13.7Sc, or IL points net higher.
Prices were few points off from the
best around noon.
In the afternoon prices sagged to about
Yesterdays close
