New York Sept 1.-The stock market,
after scoring fractional declines at the
opening in consequence of the receipt
of lower quotations from London, soon
developed strength on the news that Ger,
tain firms here hau ordered over 2000,-
900 additional gold from abroad making
the total engagements up to date over
$50 900. The shorts lost no time in re-
ducing their contracts, and an advance

cent to 49, and Minnesota Iron to 4G1r
As, while Illinois Steel dropped 2 per cent.
