New York, Sept. 3O.-There was no sign
of anything in the stock market today
to give encouragement to the hope of
those who profess to believe that the
market has run its course. SO far as re-
action is concerned. and is ready to re-
sumo its upward course. The character
of the dealings did not differ in any re-
spect from those of yesterday. Prices
were raided down with great facility, and
the declines invited large offerings The
slight rallies which occurred a few times,
on the contrary, led to an almost total
cessation of activity, and the upward
course of prices was hating and difficult.
The net decline achieved today is very
much greater than that of yesterday only
because the bears reserved their greatest
efforts for the last half hour Of trading.

fore the close. This was apparently ow-
ing to an excess of confidence on the
part Of the bears, who were content to
leave their short contracts uncovered
over night instead Of realizing immedi-
ately. The market continued almost
wholly professional. Closing bids
