Except for some rather active selling of Sugar and People's Gas, thsre was not a particle of animation in the' stock market at Kcyr York yesterday. The sympathetic effect of the weakness of" these two spe cialties wiped out the sllgl t option gains In some of the international tailroad stocks. Again at the close there was sufficient de mand from the short interest, which was averse to leaving contracts uncovered over the three days' holiday to stiffen the price of some of the railroads, but the general tone was easy, owing to a late drive against People's Gas ' Among those to show no table firmness were Southern Pacific, New York Central and Baltimore & Ohio The weakness of People's Gas gave a striking Illustration of the lack of consistency In the minds of professional operators. The other day this stock advanced on the report that a newly organized company in Chicago was l:t control of interests friendly to People's Gas. The professional intelligence by yes terday had arrived at the conclusion that the. formation of this friendly company must be the signal for war upon the Ogden Gas Company, the rival of the People's. The stock was accordingly sold industrious ly at an expense cf 2"i in its price. The movement in Sugar was about equally im portant for the news of the day, and was apparently due to the rise in the advance of the retined product, which was made on Thursday. The part taken by the profes sional element was based on a scrutiny of the source of the orders in the stock, and when the traders thought they could trace selling orders to inside sources they trailed on and sold. .Tobacco and Brooklyn Tran sit were weak during the morning, but partly recovered later in the day. Chicago Terminal preferred lost 24. Union Bag pre ferred. 1. and .National Steel preferred Hi Consolidated . Gas advanced 1?4 on light transactlons.-'when the announcement was made of the declaration of a quarterly divi dend of 2 per cent, on the stock, thus re norins the rate prevailing before the recent gaS war. Pennsylvania suffered somewhat from the effect of its statement of earnings for July, the Increase in net earnings on the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie directly op crated beinsr practically offset by the de crease on the lines west of those points di rectly operated. The St. Paul & Omaha also returned a- big decrease in gross earn ings. The-Chesapeake & Ohio showed a handsome net increase in earnings for July, as all the coal- roads have done. As the active demand for coal is a factor in keep ing up operating expenses of railroads gen erally, other railroads did not respond. Money market conditions, consisting of an easing of the London discount rate and the promise of a strong bank statement to-day were ignored- tr : -The bond market was barren of Incident.

About mid week there was a stiffening of the mar ket and an appearance of awakened inter est, but it rroved to be due to nothing more than a large demand from tae shorts. The? determined abstinence of capital from taking any part in stock operations causes Force gloomy forebodings amongst the pro fessional traders that the public Interest in listed securities has become permanently Impaired. There is no doubt that the whole sale Issues cf new capital last year, the methods employed to push up prices of some of the new Industrials to enable pro moters to realize handsomely and the sub sequent collapse of those stocks made, a costly experience for a large speculative contingent has impaired the confidence of the-general public in the values of securi ties. However, it is obviously only a ques tion of time when the Increment of capital which has been large In the prosperous period of the last few years, must seek a fixture in high-class securities. Owing to the present disparity of money rates here and abroad, and the continuing foreign de mand for our merchandise products, there Is an obstacle to the settlement of the In ternational trade balance in gold. In fact, the tendency is to still further extend the foreign credits by export of gold as a pur chased commodity) to cover the reserve re quirements of great foreign banks. As for eigners nevds for our own products con tinue greater than ours for theirs, and our production of gold makes us at the same time the available source of supply for that metal, there Is felt a pressure of special in ducement to American creditors to refrain from calling home their foreign balances. The higher money rates In Europe, which caused a process of international adjust ment very like liquidation, may be not sulfl ciently taken account of in seeking to ex plain the current dullness ol stock mar kets. High-grade American securities held abroad found their way Into American hands. Bond dealers report a large home ward movement of such securities, which must have been transferred through other than stock market channels, as no evidence Is soen there of large transactions. The high rates for money abroad also tempt American creditors to keep their balances out in current loans. But these two pro cesses, although they have been largely operative, have not availed to adjust the disparity In money markets. There are growing indications that for eign securities will find an active market in New York as a consequence of this state of affairs. Already the American subscrip tion to the Britl. h war loan and the sub scriptioas to Russian railroad bonds by American financial institutions form im- fortant holdings of foreign securities. Dur ng tho prretMt week overtures have been made tc New York bankers to place a loan for the government of Sweden, and there ha been active discussion of the estab lishment of a department of listed foreign government securities on the New York titock Exchange. It Is considered Inev itable that China must place a large loan to meet demands for war indemnities, and American capital is expected to absorb a portion of such a loan. With these attrac tions for American capital in foreign fields there la coupled the continued reactionary tendency of business and Industry at home, which 1.- not tnded by the appreciable m-i-reris in demand for iron and iron product: reporteii tnis v.ecl:. The ultimate effect on business, and especially on railroad earn ings, of the diminished crops remains to be defined. Thus far grors earnings of rail road are well maintained by the close ob servance of freight rates, but ths state nnt? of July net earnings, out this week, bhow thi' increasing -ffect upon operating jtpen-ra of the hi-h prices for material, especially steel-rails and coal and wages. The homev.ard fotiryo from E iropo of sev eral men Influential in past stock market movements aroused hopes morz profes sional operators that the market was to throw off Its lethargy, but the hopes were not realized. The bond market has been practically paralyzed, with the exception of occasional demands for Individual bonds. United States twos, when issued, and old fours declined hi In the bid price. The new fours advanced "4 per cent. Following arc yesterday's share sales cad the closing bid quotations: Closing Stocks. Sales. iill.

Then. It being the last day of the month, retail merchants were not Inclined to buy heavily. On Commission row something waa doing. The month of August was a busy one,- so abundant was the supply of fruits and vegetables, and on choice stock very fair I rices were realized as a rule. The produce men had a good month. Prices ruled steady. The demand for eggs, butter and poultry was active and prices averaged well .through the month. The wholesale grocers also had a good month's tus!nes. as did the druggists, the hardwaro merchants and Iron dealers. In provisions pack ers dll well in the home markets, but export shipments were the lightest In any August of some. years past. The hide and leather markrts througn the monih were dull, but better thirds are looked for In September. The local grain market was disappointing In two ways. More wheat came to the mark;: than had teen looked for. while the receipts cf ccrn fell far below expectations or the local de mand.

September Closed 3-Sc Below Thurs day's Price Corn and Oats Also Off a Few Fractions CHICAGO, Aug. 21. Lower cables and a slack cash trade depressed the wheat mar ket to-day, September closing bC under yesterday. Corn closed Uc lower, and oats US Tic down. At the close provisions were 5Q7V&C higher to 5o lower.'1 Wheat was quiet throughout the day. Liverpool was easy and Argentine ship ments were 984,000 bu, compared with S0S, 000 the previous week. This condition of affairs, combined with somewhat better harvesting weather in the spring wheat territory, coaxed traders to the selling side. September opened at 74V274?bC and sold off to 74!ic. At this time St. Louis claimed some export sales, and this, together with a moderate amount sold here, was of suf ficient promise to Influence a fair amount of buying, under which September rallied to 74c. As these sales were not, so far as the trade knew, followed by others, support of the bulge melted away, long stuff in moderate quantities came out and the market sagged, September drop pins to 73!8c and closing weak, c lower at 71c. New York reported 29 loads taken for export. Seaboard clearances were equal. In wheat and fiour, to 613,000 bu. Primary points received 1.046,000 bu, compared with c2I,000 bu last year.

The trade in corn was not extensive, and a large proportion of the limited transac tions was in the way of preparation for delivery day, that is, getting rid of Septem ber purchases and buying instead October corn for about lc discount. Sentiment was rather bearish all day and prices easier. Cables were lower, the weather favorable and a bumper crop predicted for Iowa. Sep tember sold between 40Vic and 39ic, and closed Uc under yesterday at 33"iic. Receipts were 209 cars. Country acceptances were still light, although larger than yesterday's. A large amount of changing was done In the corner where oats transactions are car ried on. Liquidation of September for de ferred futures was general. September sold between 215sc and 21 He closing U'Sc down at 21 Vic October closed at 2121r4C. Re ceipts were 322 cars. Provisions were moderately active and firm on. a good cash business and the ex pectations of a bullish stock statement to morrow. The best demand was for lard and ribs, and these held strong, but pork cased off after the bulge. September pork sold between 511.07 and $10.90, and closed 5c under yesterday at $10.90; September lard between $5.70 and $6.75, closing by2c higher at $6.724. and September ribs between $7.15 and $7.07, with the close unchanged at $7.074.
