A Bid or One and an Eishth for Call Money Lato in the Afternoon, But Thcrc AVas no Tr.ius-J acliou at That Kate. 2 (Ky Associated I'ress.) NEW TOliK, Aug. Si.?Business at the Stock Lxchange lo-aay was again of small propornbns, home irregulamy oc? curred in tho movement of prices, and net cnanges showeu aoout an even ais trioution 01 small gains and losses. Spe? cial inovemeiits Were under way in indi vidua^ sIocks, but their lendency c-x.e.r clsed 110 effect on'the general list. Slociis which have teiided upwards re centjy contiuued m lhat uirectiori to-day, parttcularly Consoliualed Gas, New Jer? sey Cc-ntrai and St. Louis Southwestern. Jlie lattcr was taken on reports of a pos? sible dividemi on the preferred stock, but the common shares aisu rose a point. u tiilo no dbrroboradon has been made letrarding the reputed deal in New Jersey Central, tliut stoeK moved up 'J points, but only ret'ained a net gain of % per cent. Baltimore and Ohio sympathized in the movement lo the extent of about a point, but did not hold the advantage. At no time during the day was there any lndication of strength in the western railroads, which were inclined to sag on reports of daniag-o to the corn crop in Kansas. Liquidation developed in American lec on talk that interests said to be con nected with tho property were disposihg of their holdings. An extreme loss of 2!,i occurred. but almost a point was recov ered ln the closing dcallngs. Arbitrage houses ceased trading early. but sol<i about 5,000 shares of various issues. A bid of 1% per cent was made for call money late in tho afternoon. but there was 110 transaction at that rate. Busi? ness throughout the day was at the re eently ruling ligures of 1%@1% per cent. Reductions in various g-rades of soft sugars had no ma.tcrial effect on the price of sugars, to check which figured for dealings of less than 3,000 shares. The foreign v.c-ekly bank staitemerits. which were published to-day, furnished about tho only news of importance. The state? ment of the Bank of England commandod the most attention, owimr to the recent marked relaxation of money and dis oounts in London. Bullion holdins^s in creased $13,480,530. mainly throush the receJpt of gold from here in connection with the British Excheo.uor loan. Loans, however, deerea.sed $7.OS5,00O.
