NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 12-SpeculatIon at the
stock exchange opened steady TO firm, the result
OF rather liberal purchasing of stock for foreign
account. The improvement in prices was unim-
portant, however, amounting to less than point
in the general list. Before the expiration of the
first hour Of business the selling movement
resumed with renewed vigor and the early gain
was not only lost but decline of "a to per cent
was recorded. In the downward movement the
greatest losses were scored by Tennessee Coal and
Iron, the Changers and Southern Railway pre-
ferred. The feeling was pronouncedly bearish at
this time.
Reports were afloat to the effect that the ship
ments Of gold by Saturdays European steamers
would run into the millions, and the bond syn
dictate contract with the Government expires
shortly, the bears made the most OF these rumorS.
The August statement of the Bureau OF Statistics
showing material falling OFF in the export trade
of the country did not help matters any, and for
time it really looked as If the reactionists had
finally secured the upper hand After midday,
however, the market relapsed into dizziness, and
even the revival of the rumors of new bond Issue
and a further decline in the per cents of 1925
failed TO start fresh liquidations.
