Moderate Buyer.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 14.—Both In London
and In tho early dealings here, the
movement of American shares was ex
tremely Irregular. The good feeling
occasioned by yesterday’s gold Import
announcement was not wholly lost, nor
were there any developments Jn the
money situation today to • warrant i
less cheerful view being taken In spec
ulative quarters. Sterling: exchange
hung close to yesterday’s low' level, and
the cash gain of banks at the sub»<
treasury on the week was maintained.
The uncertainty on the stock exchange
seemed wholly due to superficial con
dition of the market's own position,
much doubt being felt whether, In view
of the narrow Interest in the trading
prices for many of the leading Issues,
had not gone ahead too rapidly. This
apparently was the feeling among the
majority of active t r *der* this morn
ing, and It was encouraged by signs of
large realising sales In Southern Pa
cific, Union Pacific, St. Paul and one
or two other recent popular Issues.
These stocks were decidedly heavy
during the morning, and further weak
ness, for obvious reasons, appeared In
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. On the oth
er hand, a number of specialties were
bid up again, and many of the regular
Hat which have had less rise than the
leaders held firmly at yesterday's
prices.

a great deal of covering Iu the easily mn
nlpiilnted stocks, nud they thought, while
some were advanced on orders, long stork
was sold la other Issues. The greatest
strength was developed In Delaware and
