constant drop IN ocean rates since the season
opened, and to-day another decline of l-a2d to
Liverpool is noted, and ship brokers expect it to
go a shade lower. This is the result OF sharp
competition caused by large num5er of vessels

this port for the same purpose. Therefore all
conditions are favorable to gradual advance

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Sept. u The stock market to-day
was again Influenced by The scarcity of money,
while the screws of bear MANIPULATION were !
again put on to increase the already sufficient |
Generalization OF weak holders of stock Every |
one expected weak opening, and no one was |
in this respect, for there was /
rush to sell, and in many stocks the evident in !
tentlon was to sell them low as possible, for |
Burlington and Quincy was opened off 2Ht per |
cent. at y4A, and sugar refneries Ia at "a. In |
case of the former there was at least no occur
renee over. night which could make such .
difference in its value. The improved |
feeling, together with the easing uD of money
rates, kept the firm tone going, and in some |
Eases still higher prices were reached in the next
lour, and recoveries from lowest figures ex-
ended TO 2ie per cent The market finally
closed quiet and firm, generally at small frac-
ions better than opening prices. but irregular
changes from last nights final price. Final
changes in the list to- night are irregular and
generally for slight fractions only, the impor-
ant ones being losses of 2i4c. in sugar and I2sc !
n Wheeling and Lake Erie, and gain OF lie. |
n Pacific mail.
Railroad bon Is frmer
Government bonds dull.
State bonds neglected.
