TRADING MOSTLY SIOXAL. PROFES- Bnying; In Union Pacific and Atclii- ' Bon Preferred Generally Good Money Easy. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. New York, Aug. 6. Tho London market Was cloe-sa to-day and consequently foreign ConBldertdlons were not an important fac tor In the morning trading. Mail and ca ble advises Indicated the probability of a further advance in the London bank rate. iuj the i per cent rate had been Ineffective In Crawlng sufficient gold for the London requirements. In tho absence of any Lon don market trading in Berlin and Paris was very nominal, and no alterations were re corded In money or exchange. The ttme In the local market was dull, but distinctly Arm. Tho buying in Union Pacific and Atchison preferred was gener ally ffood, and it was reported that in the latter the large block of stock which had flepressed the price during tho past week had now been absorbed. The exceptionally jood annual report of the National Tube Tompazrp had an excellent effect on steel cka generally, and the buying of National ube iru natnrally conspicuously good. Trading was still somewhat professional in moat department?, but some of the jhreiwder operators1 saw signs of an increas ing diaiosltlon in the public to take hold cf the railroad stocks. There seemed to te coaxiJerable local support for the stoel stocks, but it was noticeable that In Fed eral Steel and Bteel and 'Wire, at any rate, there T'as a considerable supply of long slock: from the West. Tho tractions were father neglected and public confidence in them was by no means restored. The tip to buy Manhattan from Qiiarters usually feren informed had somo littlo effect and brought out a good deal of long stock. The reduction In price of raw sugars checked peculation in American Sugar and for the ?noment. the selling in It looked rather bet er than the buying. Money continued very easy.. Tno Heading first dividend of lVi per cent was a disappointment to the market, and the close was inclined to bo heavy, with out, however, any Important declino in tho railroad Btocks. Sugar was distinctly weak under pressure from lower Wall street, and the trade outlook was not considered qui:o so encouraging. The borrowing demand still Indicated considerable) short Interest in the market, although It was limited to the srangers and B. & O. common. Gold ship- ; xnents are expected on w canesaay. The reported heavy ensagement between the allied fores and tho Chinese rather checked the more confident tone of the fnornMETS trading, it jreve tho Impression hat the advanco on Pekln might meet with reeriou. opposition, and the dlraculty of keeplnj; communications open behind the advancs or the civilized Powers is obvious. The war news from South Africa is dis tinctly better and r.Uher tends to discount the reported contlnuanco of guerrilla war fare. To Judge from the sources, from which these prophecies come, tho wish is father to the thought. Rock Island crop reports are much more encouraging than have been expected, and the advices irom the St. Paul district are very good. In both instances an early movement of crops is expocted. Colo rado Fuel and Iron was strong, and another dividend on the preferred stock was talked of. The buying camo from Tennessee Coal and Iron people, which may practically be regarded as Inside. Southern Pacific's state ment for June shows a net decrease of $55,814. IOUlsville shows an lncreabo of JS10 for the fourth week In July and a total de crease since tho beginning of the month ot 116,580.
