NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-Todays stock
market was of holiday proportions so far
as to the extent of trading was concerned,
and considerable irregularity of movement
was displayed. The dealings bore the reg
hiation professional aspect. The opening
was slightly depressed on news of an ex-
tension of rate cutting and uncertainty re-
garding the immediate financial outlook.
The chief point of interest was the meeting
OF the clearing house loan committee from
the associated banks and the action likely
TO be taken, which, it was believed would
IN measure indicate the actual financial
status supporting orders soon appeared
IN some or the specialties and this fact
checked the sagging tendency and caused
general rally. At the high points reaIi-
zatlons occurred, which were partially at.

call FUNDS advancing to an extreme per

mouse loan committee that no applications
for loan certificates had been received
failed to check the downward movement
and some stocks were carried below the

the lowest of the day. The report of the
appointment OF a receiver for the Louis

practically foreshadowed by the president
or the company some time ago. The news
however, offset slump in call money in
the late dealings to per cent, and fur
ther decline in sterling rates at 4.S5 for ac-
tual demand. Railroad bonds were dull
and irregular. with some exceedingly wide
variations in the high priced inactive is
