NEW YORK MARKETS. Financial. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12.—Stocks to-day were lower. The feeble response made by London 10 the sbarp advance here yesterday was a disap- pointment to the professional element, and as London was seller to the extent of nearly 15,000 shares the entire list ran off anywhere from 4 io 22 percent. Local traders who turned bullish, find- ing little demand for stocks even from the shorts, also s0ld, and in the absence of support the de- cline noted was quickly accomplished. The heavi- ness of Manhattan was a special feature of the day’s operation. The stock opened 34 per cent lower at 7814, broke to 7414, rallied to 7514 and closed at Lhe lowest fizure. The reports current for a long time about 10ss of passenger traflic, on which extensions by the sur- face railroads and a probable reduction in divi- dends by the company were revived azain to-day and with eflect 50 far as the price of Manbattan is concerned. Louisvilie and Nashvilie dropped about 2 points to 3834 ; the loss in earnings for the first week of August having had an unfavorable influence. The failure L0 settie the rate war in the South was also used against the stock. Reports of troubles in commercial circles and the assignment of an old member of the Siock kschaage helped the besrs in their work of depressing prices. There was no particular pressure 1o seil, how- ever. and the decline was generally credited to manipulation. The falling off in business, the sales baving footed up only 180,512 shares. was attrib- uted toa desire to #wiit Mr. Bryan’s speech o ceptance at the Madison-square Gzrden to-night. In the c.osing transactions the market_was weak in tone, the result of the break in Manhat Speculation left off weak. Net changes sh 10sses of 15 to 434 per cent, the latter in Manha: tan.

Aug. 12.—The market for wheat was steady and nervous this morning, prices decining materially. A report that September wheat was 0 be delivered freely on contract caused holders to turc sellers, as the prospect of carrying the cash stuff is not very enticing under present interest rates for money, the doubtsur- rounding financial affairs since tne recent coliapse in the local stock exchange, and the reporis of banks and pensions of the past few days Liver- pool cables quoted 14d decline. Recelpts at Chicago were 170 cars, and 195,200 bushels were withdrawn from store. Tne Northwest receipts were 206 cars against 28 last Wednesdsy and 88 a yesr ago. 1he falure of a prominent firm of coal deelers added to the apprehensive feeling and | furcher selling was induced thereby, causing an- | other break in prices.

" he an- ‘Why can’t you save it in the daytime ?”" “You don’t understa polities, and never will,” he replied. ese are very | ticklish times, and it behooves every man | to do what he can for the cause night or ppose so,”’ she said doubtfully; “butit does seem to me as if you were overworking yourself when you _trie,d to float the whole country on prosperity.” “Float it?"” “Yes.” “On what?” o “I don’t know, but there is every indica- tion this morning that it was a good deal stronger than water.” i He did not feel equal to a spirited contro- versy, so he let the remark pass; but he was more than ever convinced that there ure features of politics that no woman will understand.—Chicago Evening Post.
