NEW TORK STOCK MARKET. New York, Aug. 30. Speculative sentiment was undecided to-day and the course of prices changed several times and was irregular all day. Net changes are mostly on the side of gains, and in a group of industrial specialties the clos Ing was at the best prices, but In the railroad stocks, which started oft with quite a demonstration of strength, net advances are generally below the extreme rise.

The upward Impulse at the open ing was due to the much more cheerful feeling In London- regarding the Trans' vaal outlook. BUylng for London ac count was about equal, to yesterday's sell ing for the same account. There was some covering also by local bears, who sold yesterday on the Ttan vaal war scare. The active buying movement In the railroads fell oft very largely after the first hour. With the comparative dullness of railroads and a reaction In prices on realizing came re newed activity In the industrial specialties, which continued the rest ot the day.

The Tobacco slocks and the local stocks' were attacked by the bears for effect on the general market, and Tennessee Coal was under pressure. On the other hand, Brooklyn Transit continued to be vigor ously supported with a view to the discomfiture of the short interests. Sugar showed symptoms of a desire to cover on the part of the bears. The Iron and steel groups were benefited by the continued active demand for the Republic Steel issues, which lifted the common stock 1, In the late trading Federal Steel forged to the front and rose rapidly to 61, an extreme 3. The municipal stocks rallied from their previous depression and the rather buoyant tone of the industrials Imparted sympathetic firmness to the railroad list.

In the lat ter division of the market stocks which suffered most acutely yesterday were strong to-day, notably Louisville, Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific. There was evidence of Individual strength in the Hocking Valley and Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks: Kansas Texas, pre ferred amongst the railroad stocks, and Laclede Gas, North American and Union Bag and Paper, preferred, In the specialties. Losses of a point or over were shown by Fort Worth Rio Grande, Duluth. South Shore 'Atlantic preferred, Minneapolis St. Louis and Great Northern preferred.

Call money held stiffly at per cent, or above, and the lenders were more exacting about time loans without any change In the actual rate. Some effect on the money murket Is produced by preparation for the regu lar monthly settlement on Sept. x. lne banks continue to lose cash both to the Interior and to the sub-treasury. This, combined with easier money In London and the buying here for London account, produced a fall of a fraction In the actual rates for sterling exchange.

Total sales, 421,100. The bond market was quiet to-day ana changes were small. Total sales, par value, U. 8. government Donda were un changed on bid quotations.
