Harriss, Son Co. The Stock, Cotton and Grain Market (By Associated Press.) New York, August 19. The stock market today continued to show itself sensitive to unfavorable influences to a marked degree. At no time during the day did the course of prices indicate any aggressive strength. The liquidation at times was quite heavy, especial ly in the internationals and the grangers.

Thte principal factor in the sit uation was the heavy selling for foreign accounts of wheat, sales for that ac count being estimated at between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 bushels for- the day. So much stress has been laid for several weeks past on the foreign need for other grain crops 4s giving the best assurance for prosperity to the farming population and better times for all that it was but natural' that de pression should be caused by the dis position of foreigners to sell back to us the wheat they have purchased. This development in the situation gave the greatest aid to the professional bears who have been working so persistently for a reaction in the price of stocks. Those were also assisted by the reac tionary tendency in the London stock market whicb embraced all securities, including those of American railways and which was due to the hostilities which have broken out on the Indian frontier. London also sold quite neav- ilv in this market of nearly all the internationals.

Another depressing in fluence was the which are in "dustriously kept in circulation of con tinued cold weather in the west, caus ing danger of a lessened spring wheat crop and a delay in the maturity of the corn crop. The course of the exchange market to dav caused disappointment to those who have been looking forward to ear ly Imports of gold as an additional bull factor in the! stock, market. Actual rates for both long and short sterling rose about in spite of the fact that the open market discount in London showed an easier tone and that the Bank of England refrained from ad vancing its minimum rate' discount today. The foreign selling of grain and the continued selling of American se curities for foreign account helped to stiffen exchange rates. The failure of the Bank of England to advance its rate of discount is regarded as evidence that no.

fears are felt of an Immediate drain of gold from London. This com bine caused quite a marked reaction in the price of stocks generally and this was accelerated by the discover ing of stop orders. But the selling movement seemed to lose its force in a short time and the market turned into extreme dullness. Supporting orders were found to be forthcoming at the low point and those who had sold out apparently wanted to buy stocks again and hold for a rise. Sugar was quite a prominent feature and touched a new high record of 150.

aiding materially in rallying the market. It sold off again to near the lowest. A buying demand for the coalers late in the day was also of material influence in raising prices from the low point, as was also a sharp rise in the prices of local gas stocks. The bears raided the market again just at the close, causing prices to ease off after the Neverthe less, net losses, though general, are for the most part small. 'Godd traffic re.

turns for the second week of August from Southern railway, -Chesapeake and Ohio, Chicago Great Western and Louisville and Nashville gave a firmer tone to those stocks and helped to steady the market. Brooklyn Rapid Transit showed strength on account of plans for crossing Brooklyn bridge. The total sales of stocks today were 327,751 shares, including Atchison pre-, ferred 15,302, Chesapeake and Ohio 8,425, Chicago Burlington and Qulncy 22,688, LbtfisviU and NhviUe 8.21Q, Missouri Kansas and Texas preferred 6,370, Northern Pacific 8,200, the preferred 16,260, Reading 11,620, Rock Island 733, St. Paul 32,905, Southern railway preferred 7,436, Texas and Pacific 3,720, Union Pacific 7,070, Sugar 28,358, Chicago Great Western 24,145. The bond market yielded on' moderate realizations in the speculative liens.
