(Special Stock Service to the Lake County Times). NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Aug. 14. The dullest wheat is said to be improving, there iay so far this summer. Stocks: being twenty-five loads worked toopened at about yesterday's close. I day. The market closed with a

R-ith the exception of Brooklyn. This issue was again the feature. The bears took advantage of the adverse legislation announced yesterday to continue their hammering process. It opened at 7C68. a loss of half a point from last night's closing figure, and quickly receded until it reached the low level cf 74 z- This represents a loss of five points during the two business days just ended. St. Paul, Reading, Colorado Fuel. Copper, Erie, Atchison and Union Pacific were bid up a half point early in the session, by professional traders. The strength was of short duration, however, when their wants were t-uppneu tne market tiroppeu j back in the lethargic state it has assumed of late. A great many operators are becoming somewhat apprehensive over the money situation. A number of the best posted bankers are estimating it will require at least fifty million dollars to handle the new crops as soon as they begin to move, and this must come froni Wall street. This fact, leads quite a few of the most successful operators in the street to hesitate before becoming too actively committed to the bull side. A little flurry was occasioned in the Gould stocks. Missouri Pacific and Wabash preferred were more active than usual. Missouri Pacific scored an advance of a point and Wabash preferred about an equal amount. The buying was of a character that suggests the Gould interests are favorable to higher prices. In the last hour of the session there was a general disposition to even up contracts. This operation resulted in closing the market strong at about the highest prices of the day. All the active stocks participated in the rally. Total scales, 591,200. Money 2. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
