New York Commercial: On a market on which very few transactions are being put through It is considered, that yarn values are holding stronger than could generally he expected. The efforts which buyers are making to get special construction yams at under values are not productive of much The fact that some of these offers are made for future delivery Into the late Inter months shows that mills have full mfldeiicc as to the continued strength of the staple. Manufacturers of men's wear mid dress goods using mercerised yarns are making more Inquiry for near-by delivery yarns than almost any other class of buy' ers ot present. It Is stilted by holders of such ystna that their full usUfng price Is being paid, while oflier classes are selling under the market. Upholstery manufacturers are taking few yarns at present and on any bids they make for future delivery they are nsklny concessions which luamifncturer* are not willing to grant. While It Is understood that spinners of knitting yarns are well sold ahead, their statement that in wane cases they are 10 to 12 Weeks ahead HI uot regarded ns quite the situation. The knitters, ns a general rale, are looking for lower prices, and declare that they wait until well Into next mouth befor lug forced Into the market. Much of the business booked on knitted R oods on the expectation that prices would p lower on yarns and that the mills could cover. It is now expected will fall to be de livered through some excuse or other by the mills. It Is stated by men who are candid enough to describe their dllcmnm as l>e!ng their Intention to get out of ns large per centage of unprofitable business ns they can by ope excuse or another.

New York, Aug. 14.—There was a decided lull In this morning's market after the exciting fluctuations of tlie preceding days. The speculative party working for n de cline renewed tliefr efforts from time to time, but did not meet with mueli sue* •■ess. There wns no great Inclination to buy, ami ns wall, there was no continua tion of the liquidation which wrought such havoc on the two previous days. It looked us If the lienrlsh contingent stood pretty Minch alone in their selling of stocks at eoncesslons— that Is. while there whs plenty of offerings on the rulUex, the pressure censed us soon as any weakness developed. The net result of these technical condi tions was that lifter soiue heaviness nt the opening and for a quarter of an hour fa for ward the movement of prices resol red Itself lute a series of unimportant tfuctiiatloiiH lu which very little net change occurred. Some disappointment wu* expressed because yesterday s rumors of some favorable an- uouiieemeiit from Oyster Ray fulled to ma terialise. but there was no reflection of tills III the dealings.
