New York Stock Market.
! NEW YORK. Sept. 10.-Tne volume of
trading In Stocks to day was larger by
| FULLY 100000 shares than that Of We'd
nosday and the tone of speculation was
less feverish. The course of prices also
was more uniform. London turned in
weak for Americans, but otherwise did
not figure in this market. The opening
was hrm and, with the exception OF tenn.
porary set backs at IL and IL O'Clock. the
| tendency OF prices was upward to the
close. The strength Of the general spec
ulation was most favorably affected by
drop OF &c in posted rates, and gener-
ally In actual rates of exchange, which
were announced in the afternoon. 1t
was inferred that other reductions would
be made which might initiate against
any large outflow Of gold this week.
