Journal ot Commerce says: “The scarcity in the primary markets for the day was confined to goods for quick delivery. The Jobbing houses did nil excellent business mmi the time the doors were opened, in oue house alone fully 160 buyers passing In before 10 o'clock. The character of the demand Is such that office forces are kept very busy. It is iin|>osslble to grunt large deliveries, ami buyers who would take ten eases must 1m? content with five, so that mnuy entries are made before the day’s overturn is completed. There is some dIf* foreiieo of opinion as to wliat the market will do before the end of the year, blit everyone Is agreed that the immediate sit uation Is stroug and steady, with no accu mulations in sight and nothing to show that the demand will bo materially less for some time to come."

New York, Aug. 21.—This morning’s mar- ket had some abatement, although not very great lu *tho face of the tremendous speculative movement. Profit-taking lu whnt evidently was much larger volume Jhau the preceding days had a solwrlng effect. At the same time. It cheeked the swift advance In prices. Business accord ingly fell off, although by all ordluary standards of comparison. It was still ex- ceedlugly heavy. ^ These changes, how ever, were not of much ■ consequence to ni ter the main character of the market. Such reaction ns occurred In stocks which recently led the rise was very moderate, and the number of stocks which were taken in hand for fresh speculative oper ations were sufficient to keep the upward tendency unimpaired. Louisville, Atlantic roust Line, Great Northern and Northern I’aClfle were the stocks particularly se lected fqr attention In the pillroml group. Among the Industrials, Colorado Fuel, I«o- comotTve, Republic Steel nml the Coppers were the features. The drift seemed, If anything, to be more toward the Industrial quarter of the market than It has hlth- rta I toon. The stock market opened Irregular. Great Northern preferred rose In all 11-2, Louisville and Nashville gained L Reading 3-4, Baltimore and Ohio and Sugar 3-8, and Norfolk and Western 1-4. Amalgamated lost In all 1 point. Steel preferred opened 3-4 lower. Smelting lost 3-8 and United States Steel common on 15,000 shares opened off 5-8. Atchison opened at 1021-2 to 103, against 104 1-4 yesterday. There was a good deal of talk on the street after the opening about floods In the West having caused a heavy tone to the market in the early trading, but on the board watchful traders thought that the heaviest flood was In Wall street. It was generally remarked that the room had been supplied with more stocks all day yesterday than It could take, except at concessions In prices. The statement was made that a big life insurance company sold 60,000 shares yesterday and will deliver the stock today. Other selling of a simi lar character is reported from many quarters, and in many Issues. • While tne demand slackened mate rially this mornjng, many of yester day’s buyers were disposed to hurried ly Hose their accounts because of fears of a possible reaction. The heaviness was most pronounced in the stocks that have had the most sensational ad vances within the last few days. Other issues (that have had a steady and quiet upward movement continue. Room traders who took an aggressive position on the bear side of the market yesterday offered stocks freely all around the room during the first hour, but ns the hour drew to a close a stead ier feeling developed, with buying or ders coming In checked the reaction and causing some material rallies. London transactions in all amounted to nbout 75,000 shares, with purchases exceeding sales. Government’s new 4s up 1-4. Other bonds Arm. LONDON STOCK MARKET.

New York, Aug. 21.—The Liverpool future market was stronger than an ticipated thin morning, opening 6 to 10 points up, but this advance wns lost nt the close on the failure of the New York market to follow. Liverpool has shown 11 tendency to resist the New York decline ull along, and no doubt would welcome nn advance at this time, but the aplnncrn there do not care to take the lead In a situation of this kind. The market seems to have pretty well discounted evon the favor able prospects, and ns the crop Is by no means made there will probably be many scares between this time and such time as the spinners have ob tained cufflctent supplies of new cotton to ease the situation.
