NEW YORK, Sept D.-Today's
STOCK market was in many respects
repetition of the feyerish backing
a. aliu an,,,ia ming In prices that has been
Iamiiiar of late. The movements were
attributable to the professional cliul1es
Ihat are now predominant in the
manipulation of the industrials Both
money on call and rates of sterling
eHcnange We're advanced. The first
mentioned development was favorably
regarded, as it has been declared that
tne gold exports would not survive a
per cent money market. At the same
tlme the supply of money available is
exceptionally large. The statement of
the Associated New York Banks to-
morrow will be taken as the keynote
70 the money market in the immediate
tuture. In the meantime the demand
for money is still comparat lively light
The fact that only slight engagement
or gold was made, on a day that is
usually conspicuous in the week for
heaVy Withdrawals, was encourag ging.
Inc expectation of effective harmony
actlon at today's Trunk Line presi-
dents meeting was also a strengthen
Ing factor in the general railway list.
The market opened strong and with
considerable display of animation.
me trend OF prices continued upward
until l0:45. Up to that time material
gains We're scored. Tobacco was a star
performer. 1t opened at IL higher at
10i, reacted to 1C01a, rallied to 1Ol7k,
declined to SO, advanced to 101A, fell
back to 9S1a and rallied to and closed
at !00A, a net loss of 21a per cent. The
excitement was all occasioned by the
denial of the reported settlement be-
tween the American company and it's
outside competitors. Chicago Gas was
another erratic stock. It sold up in
the early trading to 711s, gain Of
1Ss per cent. then reacted to 6Sss. raj
lied to 70, declined to 671s and closed
at 67%, a loss . of rs per cent. Sugar
~ I'D
lied to 1075s. fell to 1918. and closed at
1O55s, net loss of 23s per cent.
In the early tradings gains scored
IN the railway list. extending to rs
per cent, were partially wiped out as
a result of the final drive at the in
dustrials. A sale of 100 shares of
American Coal company stock realized
1OO, as against 9S the last previous sale
on the 9Th. The market closed weak.
The erratic movement in the share
speculation had an unsettling effect on
the bond market, but the closing was
generally firm. The sales were So, ,367,-
