GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-lnclination to
invest in the stock market is not at
present any more marked than it has
been for two months. To-day there was
a marked absence of the bear pressure,
although the usual effort to get prices
down were not wanting. In some direc-
tions the movement lacked vim, how
ever, and while there was decrease in
the amount of business done, fiuctua-
tions also showed smaller range, and I'M
poriant movements were again confined
TO low priced shares, especially in the
afternoon, but after that the covering of
shorts and free buying on long account,
induced by the growing ease of money,
extended upward to everything traded
in. Few of the active stocks scored
marked gains before the close of busi-
ness. The close was fairly active ana
strong at the highest prices of the day.
Railroad bonds for the first time in
weeks showed real activity.
Government bonds steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.
