Peter Bourgue, salesman for Talbot &

been entered during the night and clokho

until the stock is overhauled, as the
thieves did not take everything In sight,

goods Mr.. Cobb, the manager, estimated
the loss al not less than 600, and thought
1t might reach $500. Entrance was gained
by mear of window over the rear door

Snecinl 10 Tho News.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The bears had
the market all TO themselves up TO the
time OF the syndicate deposit, ana wneh
that was made the lowest prices OF the
day were being made, Weakly-heid
stocks had come on the market ireeiy
up to 2:30, and the street seemed 10 DE
full OF stocks. The unrest and nervous
ness was solely due TO the treasury posi-
ton and the synuicate's delay in doing
what the street had grown TO believe IL
was under obligations TO do. When the
deposit was made, shorts rushed 10 cover,
ana people who had been waiting ior
reaction began to buy, with the result OF
the very quick rally. The fact that impor-
tant interests had sold their stocks and
gone short TO a greater or lesser extern,
removed from the market great dea, OF
support, and everywhere weak hoiuers
were reaching the point where they were
anxious to sell.
The market has had an average OF per
cent. reaction in the leading stocks, whic a
Is more than normal average. III Is
therefore argued that today's market
should be very strong on short covering,
and fresh buying by people VINO took
profits last week. As TO the future of the
market there were many opinions, the
predominant one being that II the future
| OF the market depended on the treasury
| conditions and the gold exports IL Ii
| not likely to stay up long. As genera
| business improves, as IL gives every evil
| cence OF doing, the bull movement has
| proba bly been resumed for an indefinite
| period Ii is almost certain that golo
| exports will continue for some time, anc
| unless the banks advance the treasury
| gold we are likely TO see repetltlons o
| Yesterdays weakness whenever the goie
engagements are large.
| IL was clear yesterday that the people
| who had held the Granger stocks through
all the troubles OF the last two years hat
taken profits during the last boom whlci
was led by ST. Paul. In ST. Paul thel
were good indications that prominent III
| terests had allowed the stock 10 go II
the street bulls Nearly everybody had
little st. Paul in view of the ADVERTISED
concerted bull pool in it, and after II hat
reacted TO 1919, great Hood OF this stoci
