MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review
New York', Aug. 24. Speculation at
the Stock Exchange was dull and pro
fessional today. Only 100,021 shares .of
stocks were traded In. The (1uctuo
Hons in prices were on a par with the
transactions, very few utocks chang
ing as much as a point during the
day. At the opening the market was
weak on moderate selling for London
and local account. Western Union
was qulto a feature at tho start, 1,600
shares changing bands at 74"4w7.lMs
On Saturday the last transaction re
corded was at 75?i. The felling of
Telegraph had little inlluence on the
general list and beforo the expira
tion of the first hour of business the
entire list iwns on the advance once
more. Tho buying was based on tho
Idea that the clearing house loan com
mittee Intended to Issue certificates at
their meeting tndny. It was agreed
that his acion would be of maerlal as
sistance to merchants who are unable
to place their paper nt present, and
that the security markets would reflpct
the Improvement In mercantile circles
later on. The traders immediately be
gan to discount a probable Issue of
certified tea and their moderate pur
chased soon brought about a general
advnnce in prices. Manhattan bound
ed up 2 to"R'4. but this was excep
tional. Western Union recovered to
75 and Sugar, the Grangers, Louis
ville and Nashville rose ViQK per
cent. Renewed weakness In Sterling
exchange encouraged the hope of fresh
Importations of gold nnd this also
had some Influence in bringing about
the higher range of stock quotation.
The demand from the shorts fell off
toward the close and there was a dis
position to put out fresh onnttart. In
a small way. iMon,y on coll rose to
8 per cent, but under offerings' by a
foreign house tho rate quickly return
ed to (1 per cent. After borrowers
iad supplied their wants there were
tenders as low as 3fT4 per cent. At
the close the stock market was tol
erably firm except for Sugar nnd the
Grangers. Net changes In the active
stocks were slight cither way outshle
of Manhattan, which gained per
cent, and Sugar, which lost 1 per cent.
In the Inactive Issues Lake Shore
dropped 3 per cent, to 1394.
