Y., Aug. 20.—The engagements of $2,000,000 gold in London yesterday for ship- ment to New York did not have the effect on stock prices confidentally expected by operators of bull- ish proclivities. In fact, the market for securities after & moderate advance developed weakness, and in the final hour the lowest figures of the day were generaily current. At thestart the indiffer- ence of London was a disappointment, foreign houses having sold fairlylarge amounts of St. Faul and Loulsville and Nashvilie. Later on when the sctual rate for sterling, exchanges recoverea sharply, checking further import~ of gold, the bear- ish element became more agressive. Special at- tention was paid Lo Western union, Sugar aud the other industrials, and in the absence of support sellers were able 10 make some impression on rices.

Avg. 20.— The importance attached to the reported gold importations was still apparent In the tone which governed wheat atthe opening this morning. Prices began with an appreciation of sc over the ciose of yesterday, but with that gain the improvement rested. Too little business was the excuse for the halt, and that was aiso pleaded in extenuation of the later re cessions which took place. Recelpts at Chicaxo were 145 cars, and 76,109 bushels were taken from store. The Northwest had 287 cars, against 252 last Thursday and 405 a year ago. The Clncinnati Price (urrent reported no strik- ing changes in crop conditions during the past week, but suggested & lowerink of spring wheat estimates, Liverpool cables were firm and led Bizher. Closing Paris cables were unchanged to 10 centimes lower for flour. aud unchanged to 10 centimes higher for wheat. Aniwerp was un- changed, and Berlin mark higher. r.xport clearances amounted to 5,510 busheis. Septem- ber opened from 561gc to 56c, declined to 554¢, closing at 5534c, Y4c @ Yac under yesterasy. Estimated receipts for to-morrow, 100 cars. CORN—The interest and actio . in_corn were coufined to a few local traders and professionals. The large crop is the appalling fact which holds buvers in check, while Lue 10w price offer littie opportunity for profitable short seling. rhe Cin- cinnati Price Current said ot Corn: “Moderate drawbacks 1o corn in some sections, but more than average crop certain.” Recelpts were 451 cars, and 879,489 bushels were taken from store. The tendency of prices was to follow the direction of those of wheal. Some firmuess at the opening was due 10 the heavy out inspection. Liverpool bles were lgd higher.

The growing belief that the reported deal in September pork is a myth tends to lmpart courage to the bear contingent and ren- ders the task of the bull more difficait. Prices ral- lied late in the session on the inevitable short cov- ering. January pork closed 234c under yesierday and Janusry lard and ribs each ashade higher.
