New York, Sept. 15.-The stock market
opened decidedly strong on the Maine cleo
ton and higher cables from London. The
prominent issues advanced about point,
the shorts being the largest purchasers.
When the demand from this source abat-
ed the traders, who are bearishly inclin-
ed for the moment, started in to SELL In
the absence of support, they had little
difficulty in bringing about a lower range
of prices. There was also considerable
CT Nv bO Nypr a
on account of the rather feeble response
made by the market to yesterdays cleo
ton in Maine, and this was of assistance
TO the bear manipulators. Tobacco bore
| the brunt of the attack and fell from 6SB
| to 59$4 The selling of this stock was bas-
| ed on the reduction in plug by the COM
| pany in order to meet western competition.
| Sugar fell nearly per cent. to 1874 on
the declining tendency of the market for
| raWs while Chicago Gas was adversely
| influenced dropping 1B to 5S1s by Chicago
| advices that Attorney General Molony had
| renewed the fight against the company.
| The Granger group lost 114@25s, the lat
| ter in Burlington and quincy. Manhat-
| tan fell to SPA Western Union IA to
| 1881, and Missouri Pacific l to II. Rumors
| of an advance in the Bank of England
rate of discount on Thursday and the re-
ported embarrassment of a big dry goods
firm in this city, were used against the
market. The reports of the trouble in
the dry goods trade, however, could not
be confirmed At the decline there was
moderate buying of dividend payers due
to statements that earnings in New Eng
land were improving. Several mills are
reported to start up shortly. This was
not without its influence in some quarters.
In the late trading, the Changers weak
ened again under pressure and specula-
ton closed barely steady in tone. Net
Of
Tobacco leading. In the inactive stocks,
MINNEAPOLIS and st. Louis tirsts prefer
red. fell 434 to g. Total sales were 198,500
she res. including IS, 800 St Paul, 29,600 Bur-
lington and Quincy, 5000 Sugar and 25,
300 Tobacco Bonds were quiet and irreg-
ular. The sales were $566,000.
