Saturday; cooler insouth Financial. W YORE, N. Y., Aug. 21.—The market for securities was feverish to-day, but business was on & light scale. Transactions in stocks footed up only 156,214 shares, the smallest total for any day of the week. Speculation was feverish through- out and under the control of several operators, who are still working for lower prices. The street was fiooded with rumors of an unfavorable char- acter, but on investigation it was found that the Teports had no foundation in fact. Some of the revorts were of & highly sensational character and undoubtedly had somethinz to do with the low range of prices which prevailed during the after- n00n session. T'hé special feature uf the trading was the heavi- ness of Western Union. The stock sold down 8 per cent to 7354c and lac support throughout. The heaviness of Western Union offset the good | effect of the gold importa.ions, and this, with the selling for foreign account, explains the downward tendency of the market. Reports of iate-cuiting est assisted the shorts in their work of g prices. Railway earnings to hand for the second week of the carrent month generally showed decregses as compared with the previous year, and were not without their influence. neculation lest off weak in tone with prices 14@ 3 per cent below yesterday’s closing, WesternUnion leading.

Aug. 21.—Better prices were obtainable for wheat this morning and the open trading gave indications of an interesting session, but appearances were deceptive, the subsequent market differing but immaterially from the ordi- nary and on occasions showing decided. dullness. The strength Incident to the opening was ascribed to & firm tone in New York stocks, which followed a rather weak start. Later prices of wheat wers sustained principally by reported export sales at New York and moderately good cash transactions at this place. traders, the outside being absent and showing 1o evidence of taking even a slight iaterest. Receipts at Chicago were 106 cars. and 53,835 bushe’s were taken from store. The Northwest had 478 cars, against 420 last Friaay and 472 a year ago.

Poll:ical evenis of the week had no definite in- fluence upon business prospects, for the phenom- enal variations in sterling exchange and the begin- ning of imports of gold, although following the great meeting in Madison-square Garden on Tues- day, may be fairly attributed to the accumulating €xcess of merchandis - exports over imports, to which attention has been repeatedly call Jxpor:s from New York for the past two weeks have been 20 per cent larger and Imports 21 per cent smaller than last year. The rapld move- ment of grain and the unusually early market for cotton tends strongly to aid the banking syndicate, which has undercaken (0 regulate fofeign ex- change. Withdrawals of money to the interior are rather large and commercial 1oans are hard to place, and this difficulty checks many new enterprises and busin ss in many departments. Bank c.earings are small for the week, 15 per cent less Lhan last year Railroad earnings are not as good as might be exyected for the first half of August, exceed those of last year by only 34 per cent.

Hides at Chicago averaged more than 8 %er cent lower for the week, against the fall in the past five weeks having averazed about 25 per cent. The iron and steel manufacture has continued depressed and Bessemer pig has sold at $10 40 at Pittsburg, while Southern No. 1 is offerd at prices equivalent to $10 at New York, and nearly all finished products are being soid below the current quo:atfons. There is rapid Curtailment of pro- duction, but in spite of this the supply of finished product appears to greatly exceed the demand | for thal. The only bright spot is a sale of 9000 tons of steel rails to Japan for refitting rallways in that country, which makes an aggregate of 45,000 tons exported during the year. Nothing encouraging can yet be sald regarding the woolen manufacture, and the demand for goods, even at recent reductions, is still disap- | pointingly small. A heavy auction sale of cotton &00ds brought prices which were counted quite en- couraging, and the current demand is fairly main- tained, although the milisare not inclined to make large contracts for the future in view of the rise in theTaw material. In general the working force in the textile branches dces not appear to have in- creased. NEW Jukisk STOCKS. Bonds, Exchange, Money and Rallroad Shares.
