NKW YORK , Aug. 2.1 There was noth ing In the general situation either In the political or the business world to account | for a reaction In stocks today. The market [ j ket , was simply overbought nnd was sub jected to a process of testing , which , JI whether designed to do so or not , Inevit ably ! readjusts prices to the true basis of value. Yesterday's heavy profit taking on the part of some of the powerful Interests who had been bulng stocks In the eonll- dencu that they would advance In prices led 1 the way naturally to today's movement , 1I 1t It became uvldent at the opening that the strong support for the holders had been withdrawn. In thu grangers even the outside , bu > lng , which has so eagerly ab sorbed those stocks for some time past , showed a marked diminution. There weru oven selling orders In the commission houses 1 for outside ncount , thus showing thai ii large part of the recent public In- teresl has been for speculative account. Hut tint outtddo speculative public failed to show the iiggrenslvu conlldenco In Its holdings recently manifested by the power ful bull clique. Neither had II the com bined l resources at Its command to eomu In and I ! support stocks on the declining market. The weakness of the hands Into which largo 1 amounts of the grangers had fallen v , as mndu evident by the he ivy stop loss orders : which vvcro uncovered by the decline of ei 114 to l\ per cent In the grangers at mid day. Hut the torrent of offerings at tha low 1 point fell to Interests that wore wait ing and willing and which effected a sub stantial rally on comparatively light trans actions. : The railroad list generally moved In I sympathy with the grangers , the break In 1t 1 them putting an end for the time being 1C thu strong upward movement which had Het In Home of the low priced southern and western railroad shares. The early weak ness was accentuated by the perslstonl sag ging of .Manhattan , which has fallen about . " . points on the day. Brooklyn Trnnsll was also under severe pressure nnd Consolidated Ons and some of the other specialties suf fered I for support. The early weakness of People's Gas and subsceiucnt strength probably reflected the passing phases of e-fforts to adjust .1 busi ness dispute Metropolitan Street Railway rose at gno time 7 points without any news to account for the movement. The Interna tional piper stocks , Rio Grande Western , , West Chicago , Northwestern , Chicago Ter- j I initial preferred and a number of other Htocks gave evidence of special strength In the t face of the general tendency of the market.

YORK , Aug. 23 The dry goods market shows slight gains from day to day. Although there are many buyers in town the bulk of the buslni\ss passing is the re sult of mall orders. These orders are gen erally for seasonable specialties rather than staple goods , and results show that the size of these has Increased. The store ttad- Ing Is mulnly In thu jobbing houses and Is confined to somewhat conservative limits. The most cncomaging feature of the mar ket Is the trading In pi int cloths and their situation. The mills which have shut down for two weeks and those which are to shut down for var > lng periods between now and October 1 will relieve the market of a con siderable amount of stock now held In man ufacturers' hands. Extras are much tlrmer on account of this Hlds for sixty-four seitmres at 2c- are not so qulcklv considered as they wero. Contracts are hard to ob tain at this price. Odd goods are in good shape. There Is some strengthening no ticed In the market for wide sheetings , but this Is not stiinclcnt to Influence prices. Export goods are * | n steady request , with fair shipments reported. Coaise colored cottons are quiet and featureless. Printed cottons show no change. Wool Mnrlict.

The buyers of all kinds of tattle appeared anxious for supplies nnd Ihe yards were pracllcally cleared at an early hour. There VMIS nothing very choice In the way of corn fed beeves and the besl here could nol bo culled much more than pretty fair stuff. All told , there were perhaps twentj- llve to lhlrlllve loads of corn caltle , many of Ihem on Ihe commonlsh order. The best catlle here sold as high as $3 20 , Ihero being nothing choice lo put a lop on Ihe market , and the common to medium grades sold nt $470 490 , principally. The market was ac tive and steady , as compared with yester day. Western grass beef catlle were In very small hupply and sold readily al firm prices. Cows and heifers sold slrong to 5Q10c higher and the market was active al Iho advance. Some corn fed heifers sold nl $435t < 450 , and good grassers $175ft1K ! ) Hverj thing changed hands al an early hour. A very conslder.iblo proportion of all the catlle hero were slockors and feeders The market on that kind of eatllo was without material change. Yesterday Iwenly-one cars were shipped oul Into the country and supplies In hands of speculators pretty well cleaned up so that regular buyers were nil wanting eatllo Ihls morning. The result was that the market opened quite active and the most of the offerings ( .hanged hands In a short time. Some later arrivals did not meet with quite such a good reception nnd as has been the rule for some tlmo undesirable or common cat- llo were ncglecled to some extent. Repre santatlve sales : 8TEERS.

Aside from three loads of feeders the supply consisted entirely of mutton grades and mostly west erns. Dutlng the last week Chicago has been gradually dropping down while the market here has held up under the Influence of the very light receipts. On account of the more liberal run today It was onlv natural to ex pect an easier market and values hero could be quoted about lOo lower. The Southworth Wjomlng wethers sole at $110. which was SOc higher thin the same sheep sold for three or four weeks ago , but tin- sheep hero today were the tall- end and lighter. Two loads of South Dakota wethers brought $420 , but there has been nothing like them here of late with which to make comparisons The Hershev sheep sold * , esterdny at $430 , nnd today another shipment of the same lot went at $4 20. Feeding sheep were in as good demand as usual and the Inquiries are considerably In excess of the receipts. Representative sales : No. Av.
