NEW YORK, Aug, 21.—Active speculative ligWdetion became manifest in to-day’s stock market, and at the close the selling move- urgent and somewhat precipitate. earlier part of the day some stand against the tendency to depression. stocks were pushed ‘up: at different. {mies as & sustaining influence upon the mar- ket but the selling to realize elsewhere in the was steady going on all the time. At the last the liquidation seemed to haye proceeded to such an extent that the efforts to support the market were withdrawn, and all semblance of resiétance to the weakness disappeared. The stocks which were notably strong yesterday and for some time previous started out at de- clines and showed the largest effect of the selling pressure at the last. Some small gains were retained evem at the lust in a few of the stocks which had risen earlier, but in oth- ers the gains were more than wiped out. The upward movement in the Denver and Rio Grande stocks which developed during the day after a period of quiet, was the most con- spicubus, but Denver and Rio Grande ciosed with & substantial net loss. Louisville and Naushville was notably weak, and fell back at one time 3 points. The advance in Western Union was said to be due to pressure upon the shorts, the demand for the stock in the long crowd being such as to_command a premium. With the exception of Texas and Pacific and Ontario and Western, the other demonstrations of strength were in minor industrial stocks. The acute weakness of Colorado Fuel and Iron which carried it down in the late points wes an unsettling influence upon the whole market. The failure of the speculative operator who has Jed the advance in the stock to obtein control of the property has resulted in beavy speculative liquidation. There was @ notable absence of demand at the close, even from the professional short interest, which must have been active on the downward course of prices during the day, and the closing tone was distinctly weak. There was no actual new development to account for the sudden dispo- sition to eell stocks, but theve was 8 very material ‘which was the t for several days left a great probability of a caction. ~Extravagant as were the expecta- tions as to the promptitude and extent of the measures which Mr. Morgan would take to fm- prove the situation, there was some disappoint- ment this morning over the delay. The hope seemed to be that Mr. Morgan's hurried visit to his office immediately upen landing from the steamer would result in the settlement off- hand of all the various problems which have accumulated during his absence of several months, Yesterday’s professed confidence in Securing abundance of fungs for speculative purposes was changed t The engagement last night of §100,000 by telegraphio. transfer through the sub-Treasury to Cincinneti camo 00 late for effect on the stock market. That shipment ‘was supplemented to-day by another one of $100,000 to New Orleans, and the fear was awalened that the interior movement of currency has fairly set in. The sterling ex- change market was also notably firm, reflect- Jng the heavy short interest existing in_that market. The disposition to. realize was much emphasized by this development. Bonds were quiet and became easy in sym- pathy with stocks. . Sales, par value, $2,528,] 000 United States new 4s and old 4s advanced %, _per cent on the last call. The governing committee of ths Stock Ex- change to-day decided to close the exchange on the Saturday before day. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Hizh. Stock— Ind Chgo, Ind &L pd. & East Il...

Of late it had been a case of blind lead the blind selling September corn in order to get prices down to a level with the further months, Lower prices did come after the huge receipts of last month, and September tumbled from over 60c to 50¢. Then came the story of poor receipts with but little grading contract, tm- mense short Interests and backwardness of the maturing crops. Yesterday English markets began advancing. To-day cables were very strong, receipts were only 45 cars and influe tial buying started a wild opening. Shorts wanted stuff to cover contracts with and wanted it badly, but nobody could buy much. The big bulls took on good lines where they could -and offered almost nothing. For bouses did good early buying, and with hesitation after the early jump price: vanced in leaps and bounds.” It is generally conceded that September corn is in a very. nmn‘ position. September opened with a jump of z’u to 1%ec at 53%@bic and went to closing very strong and congested, 4%o easy, but soon felt the ef- fects of the corn excitement. Cables were in- different and fairer weather was reported in the Northwest, where it was most in need. In this pit it was a story of effects of bad weather, diminishing stocks, lighter receipts and almost no removals to make up the de- pletion of contract stuff.

The feature of the Butter'market at present 1s tRe prospective effect of the faflure of the Elgin: Creamery on- this market. The Cream- ery was carrying more high-priced stored goods than it could finance and went to the wall. Its immense stocks of stored Butter are now being offered all over the United States at declining prices;, and there Is a persistent effort to place @ large line on the San Francisco market. Its fancy créamery could be bought yesterday at 19c, “or 21%c laid down here, and its ladle- packed at.ldc, or 16%c laid down hére.' Some gf our lofsl deslers’ars purchesine. fome Ut this sacrificed Butter, while others ara fighting shy of it.

A few days will :lear the situation regarding the Eastern But- er. The retailers are complaining of the quality of the Northern Butter, saying that owing to some peculiar element in the feed the Butter has a foreign flavor this season. For this rea- son fancy sweet creamery is ruiing rather firm an otherwise, while many of the best cream- ery brands are at the moment not up to their usual standard. Cheese remains unchanged, Eggs remain as previously qunted with mod- erate stocks and a very falr demand. Receipts were 7800 lbs Butter, Eggs and 27,800 1bs Cheese.
