| New York, Sept. 21.-The stock market
| was strong to-day. Business was not ac-
| tive, but the trading was well distributed
| The demand from outside sources was
! light, but the prevailing element was
generally arrayed upon the bull side. The
latter were more favorably impressed
| with the banks statement, the easier con-
| dition of the money market and the start
| ing up of mills. Money on the call was
in better supply and a few transactions
were reported at per cent. on good
stock collateral, without a commission. II
was announced that 100000 American
eagles had been sold by the Bank of En-
| gland for shipment to New York. The
opinion of the board that $4,000 0jO
would be forwarded to this coun-
try this week, which would bring
the total since Aug. rs, up to $25. 600, 600. AT
Intervals operators were disposed to take
profits, but the offerings were quietly a5-
sorbed and near the close a number or
stocks sold at the best figures of the day
The favorable reports of the northwest
roads for August and of the Northern Pa
cite for the second week of September
| were generally ignored. Manhattan was
the special feature, and after an early
| decline to S5I4, jumped to SS0S75s. A re-
| port was current that deal was on foot

gained a point on a story that the off,
| Gals of the various companies in Chicago
| were endeaVoring to arrive at an under
| standing in regard to the rates. In the
final dealings the Changers and the low
! priced issues were in particularly good
request Speculation left off strong, with
| prices anywhere from 4 to "a per cent
| higher than at the close on Saturday To-
| tai sales were 1903 shares, including
32, 800 Sugar, "a, 100 ST. Paul. 1900 Manhat-
tan and Is, 100 Burlington and Quincy
Bonds were active and strong. Total
sales were $10O9,0OO
