New York, Sept. 22.--The bears on stocks
and their sales and iquidations by small
holders of the usually active issues scored
net declines anywhere from'A to 21s. Lon
don firms were sellers of the information
ally listed stocks, on account of the adj
vance in discounts in the open market and
belief that the bank rate would be rails
ed on Thursday. The weakness in con-
soils was also given as a reason for the
foreign selling. Local operators were gen
orally working for a reaction, and when
Sugar broke "a per cent. to liz after mid
day, they set actively to work The heavi-
ness of the stock named proved of material
| assistance, and in the late afternoon trad
ing the entire list yielded. The decline in
Sugar was attributed to sales by a lower
| Wall street interest which has been iden-
| tilted with the long side of the account
| of late. Manhattan fell to Sc; Western
| Union, rs to 827s; Tobacco, 13s to g.; Chi
| cago Gas, IA to 60A and Louisville and
| Nashville, 1as to 40. These were the most
| important declines. Leather preferred,
jumped from 54A to sly on more favor
| able trade reports, but later, receded to
5534Q56, in sympathy with the general list
! Reading was bid up rs to 1874 on belief
| that the efforts to stop the foreclosure
| sale of the property will be defeated. The
weakness of sterling exchange, lower
| rates for money and the engagement of
| additional amounts of gold in London for
| shipment to New York, had no influence
| whatever on the stock market, which clos
| ed weak in tone. The total sales were
2OS, 9O1 shares, including 1890 Sugar, a.,
500 Reading, 1850 st. Paul, 1890 Manhat-
| tan, 49, 100 Leather preferred, and 1900
| Burlington and Quincy. Bonds were
strong. Total sales were 81, $4,000.
