DULL IN WALL STREET. The Continued Tide of Gold This Way Tends to Restore Confidence. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-The same irregular opening that has characterized this week's trading was evident in today's market and without particular reason stocks advanced or declined from 1-4 to 3-4 per cent from closing prices. London was fractionally higher, but did little on this side. The dullness in the early hours was more pronounced than at any time for weeks and room traders were responsible for the few quotations that were made. The movement of gold to this side was the most encouraging feature of the day. London ships us as the result of today's engagements $1,800,000 and Hiedelbach, Ickelheimer & Co. are advised of the shipment of 1,000,000 francs from Paris. The Bank of France has been perfectly willing of late to release some of its gold while we are willing to make such satisfactory offers for it, and more especially because they now realize that owing to the size of their crops they will have large balances in our favor in payment of breadstuffs imported from this side. Including the above figures the net exports of gold since January 1 are, in round numbers, $37,000,000 as compared with $52,000,000 a few weeks ago. This is a most satisfactory showing and if continued will go far toward restoring the confidence that received its first shock when gold went out of the country in such enormous quantities earlier in the year. Wall street has apparently left silver in the hands of Congress as no trades are recorded on the board and no demand made for it at market prices. Russia Stops Silver Coinage. European cables announce that Russian mints have stopped coining silver and that the importation of foreign coin has been forbidden. After a period of comparative quiet in the west the suspension of the First National Bank of Dubuque, Iowa, was announced and telegraphic advices from that locality follow. stated that further trouble was likely to Railroad earnings continue to show a decrease. The St. Paul report for the second week of this month shows $113,000 on that side of the account. The Great Northern has reduced its monthly pay rolls from $600,000 to $350,000, and roads in all parts of the country are adopting measures to curtall operating expenses. The clearing house statement today shows: Exchanges,$68,588,640; balances, $3,799,473, and subtreasury's debit balance, $144,656. Additional certificates, amounting to $365,000, were taken today, making total issue now outstanding $37,390,000. Money on call was abundant in the neighborhood of 4 per cent. Brown Brothers advanced the rate for sterling to 483a487. Distillers was active and at higher prices than it has been for some time on good western buying, and the report that some favorable legislation would soon be had in Washington.
