REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Torlc. Aug. IS. The. London market,
nffw nnfnlne- lrreimlarlv to-day. hardened
all round iind closed strong near the best
of the. day. The call of St. Paul tras bought
In considerable Quantity at 117s for tne eno.
of August. The general market -was Arm.
and consols strong near 99 on tho more
peaceful Chinese outlook.
The South African netva was aUo favor
able. Parlii was closed and the Berlin mar
v, Trns strone in all departments. Dis
count ratejj were rather easier. Paris ex
change, however, was lower and still at a
rate which mado gold shipments from New
York profitable. The reduction In demand
sterling, .however, eeemeu imeiy iu cuev-n.
exports to London.
In the losal market tho strength of yes
terday was continued In most departments.
A story o. B. & O. acquiring control of
Jersey Central as revived, but It does not
look probable on the face of it. There is
considerable tired long stock hanging over
the market, and tho artificial short Interest
created by tho sales over SO against tho
new stock, which Is not deliveiablo until
October, has so far protected It.
Stories oi" this character are circulated to
unload tho stock. The buying In Atchlsons
was especially good, and Atcnison preferred
looks like llndlng Its proper level as a stock
paying over 7 per cent at present prices and
earning 6 per cent on the common. St. Paul
was well bought, as were all the Grangers
for Investment, and the tone of the market
was decidedly bullish. Industrials and
tractions showed more signs of professional
manipulation than the railroads and wero
somewhat Irregular. The buying of the
steel stocks, however, was good.
The close was dictlnctly strong, I n
oulte at bust, and the intention of the Gov
ernment to retire J20.000.000 of the 2 per cent
bonds hell'ed as much as anything elso Jo
srlve strcnitth to tho market. It was con
sidered that cheap money was assured over
the fall and that the shipments of gold
were offset by this fact.
The Chinese position Indicates that the al
lies are now outside Pekin and are practical
lv dictating their own terms. As we have
before pointed out. the Chinese problem on
lv at this point, begins to get serious. Tho
settlement amongst the Powers has yet to
come. The exceedingly sane view taken,
iv tho TJnlted States Government looks like
having an. Important effect upon a peace
ful settlement.
Aallroad earnings continue excellent ana
van the neglected steel stocks show a
much more healthy feeling than they did.
nr the StOTies that have been current about
Pennsvlvaala negotiating for the purchase
of Broofclvxi Rapid Transit, It Is said that
this Is in the last degree unlikely. .

Brooklyn Is not so unlikely, but the Penn
sylvania people have every Inducement to
take their own time about. The advance In
tho hard coal roads Is a legitimate one on
the anthracite trade outlook and does not
need consolidation rumors to support it,
