NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Prices of stocks were toppled over to-day and the recently prevaiiing | bull movement apparently came to an end. | The hesitating tone which developed yesterday | ontinued this morning. After the first reces- slon in prices strenuous efforts were made to check the reaction, which met with a degree of success. The character of the buying in St. | Paul was a large influence for a temporary | upturn of the markets. Very large lots of this stock were taken by brokers supposed to act for the group of financiers which has been foremost in forwarding projects for the com- munity of interest in raflroad ownership. Op- erations toward supporting the market else- | | where were attributed to the most conspicuous | | | | tion for the advance was the growing convic- | Chicago Term & Tran: | Colorado Southern Colo Southern 1st pfd operator on the street and the apparent con- fidence with which they were conducted served to intimidate the professional operators of a smaller class, who were inclined to take a bearish view of the market. But when this latter class detected the diminution of the | outside buying through commission-houses and | some evidence of profit-taking by the longs they offered stocks down boldly and by un- covering stop-loss orders dislodged very heavy offerings, under which the market broke badly. With the downward tendency established the traders gave a pessimistic twist to the cur- | rent news, as is their wont. There was, how- ever, little news to account for the course of the market. The inference was clearly justi- fied that the buying and bidding, which for | two weeks past represented an experiment by stock market operators who hoped to attract | a sufficient outside interest by this means to | make an active bull speculation. Yesterday's extremely moderate demand from outside sources chilled the expectation of the bulls and | what long lines had not been sold to realize profits were forced to sale more urgently to- day with the still further diminution in the outside demand. Naturally the stocks which had been recently bulled the most were the ‘weakest on the reaction, the Pacifics, Atchison, Amalgamated Copper, Norfolk and Western | and the coalers suffering the widest declines. Yesterday's story of a settlement of the steel | strike was clearly shown this morning to have | been put out to hold the market and the steel | stocks dropped with the rest of the market and are 1% lower for the day. The rally in the corn market was also an influence and there was a renewed selling from Western sources, which have been covering In stocks during the period of reaction in corn. The most potent influence in checking the specula- tion that requirements to move the crisis must be met to a large extent by the New York money market, with the prospect of a con- | tinued drain at the same time on account of | United States treasury operations. There was no striking development to-day to emphasize this conviction, but the factors recently at work to that end continue in force. The mar- ket had substantial railles from its break, caused by short covering, but the recoveries were not well held and the closing was fever- ish, with & heavy undertone. ‘The railroad bond market continued quite active, but turned weak in sympathy with stocks. Central Georgla issues were strong on the declaration of the full interest on the income bonds. Total sales, $1,715,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram say: The settlement was easy but absorbed at- tention. The trend of the stock market was good, although there is some uneasiness over the rumor of a fresh war loan. The American stocks remained hard, but without support until the New York opening. when, on profit- taking, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul de- veloped strength, spurting upward 3. The general list, however, was not responsive. After the market’s close there was an attempt to rally stocks on the curb, but they relapsed, closing near the bottom. Copper stocks were heavy on the absence of a confirmation of the great combination which | is scouted here, the Rothschilds denying any knowledge of it. CLOSING. LONDON. Aug.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2i.—Lower cables combined with bearish reports of the enormous Russian crop caused a weak opening in wheat. A rush of selling orders during the first few minutes of trading carried prices below yes- terday’s closing flgures, but the sharp advance | in corn helped bring about a rally. The mar- ket was dull after the opening pressure to sell was over, which fact was partly respon- sible for tHe 'advance.

Corn opened somewhat easier, but strona local buying set in and the market advanced rapidly and sharply. Hat weather in the Southwest, outside buying and a score of shorts were the bull factors. December closed at 57%@57%c, a gain of 1%@1%c. Oats opened quiet and steady. Buying by outsiders and the advance in corn caused & rally and prices advanced. December closed 1%c higher at 35%c. % Provisions were moderately active, but easier on fair liguidation., The opening was steady, but large receipts of hogs at Western points created a -weak tendency which would have been greater but for the strength in corn.

Dried Fruits, Nuts and Raisins. The market for fruit stands about the same. The demand for the East is as lively as ever, though the first rush for Apricots is over and Peaches are taking their turn. Prunes will come next and are already coming to the front. Each fruit takes its turn, according to ‘its time of appearance in the market. The mar- ket for everything in the fruit line shows as much firmness as ever. There is nothing doing in Raisins, as the season has not yet opened. Nuts are steady and there is a fair demand for Honey, without any particular activity. . As has already been mentioned in the press dispatches the prune packers will operate in- dependently of the Cured Fruit Association this year. It is now stated that the packers have secured most of the raw Prunes in the Santa Clara Valley. The Prune crop is so light and the demand promises to be so good that there is little danger of any serious results to grow- ers through the separation of the two com- binations.
