PROFESSIONAL STOCK TRADERS
PLAYING THE SHORT SIDE
OF THE MARKET.
DEALING DULL AT TIMES.
TOTAL SALES FOR THE DAY
SMALLER THAN FOR SOME
MONTHS.
NET LOSSES FROM A FRACTION UP.
Late in the Day Union Pacific Was
in Demand and Steadied the
List.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Today's market for
stocks was astonishingly dull at times, and
the total volume OF transactions was smaller
than for many months, the total sales num-
berlng only 100000 shares. 1t became evil
dent that yesterdays dizziness could not be
ascribed to the Jewish New Year holiday.
1t is in fact obvious that the large buying
interests, which have been so powerful a
factor in the recent bull movement have
retired from the field for a time and the
orders through commission houses, the
medium through which the public at large
operates, have shown a corresponding fall
ing on. There are some who believe that
the large bull operators have already Hqui-
dated their holdings and taken their profits.
Certain it is that there was no evidence in
today's market of any heavy offerings of
long stock. The recent conspicuous bulls
nevertheless seemed to aequiesce and offered
little opposition to the bears. Practically all
of the professional room traders have turned
bears, and their selling is called short SELL
ing. Their most vigorous attack today was
directed against the coalers on the assertion
that the anthracite companies have been ex-
ceeding the allotted output and that there
was no increase in demand that made any
advance in the price of coal likely. Some of
the prominent industrials and the grangers
were also under pressure
Railroad earnings all continued to show
Improvement. For the third week in Sep
TENDER, Norfolk & Western reported an
increase of $3S, 591, and Baltimore Ohio
Southwestern, for the same period, reported
an increase of $19,239. The August state
ment of the Atchison company showed an
increase of the total income from operation
of $213,5S1. London sent higher prices at the
opening and was buyer of stock al day.
The report that the government had assented
to the foreclosure sale of the Union Pacific
on the terms proposed by the reorganization
committee, with only slight notifications,
created a demand for the stock of that COM
pany, and served to steady the list general
ly to some extent.
The development of interest in the money
situation was a hardening tendency of do
nestle exchange on New York at some West
ern ,centers. indicating some relaxation of
The drain on New York reserve money. Lo-
cal money rates have continued firm and

foreign exchange is attributed to the cover

fined to the arrangement of the account at
the settlement, but the tone was better than
for some time past, the market looking gen
orally healthier. The rise in investment
stocks is due to the indefinite idea that money
may not get dearer. Six months English
treasury bills for $4,000, 900 were allotted to-
day at an average of per cent which as
sisted this notion of easier money. The ac-
count was not especially large. The tone was
good and there was disposition to deal
for the new account, but the New York SELL
ing surprised and discouraged the operators
and prices closed weak. Mines were dis
as low as IT'S 1OAd per ounce, but too much
stress must not be laid on this decline as
there are no buyers or sellers at the moment.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2s.-Weakness was
the chief feature in the wheat market this
morning at the opening, and trading was
weak and inactive throughout the morning
session. The news of the day was, on the
whole, dtscouraging to holders. At home
large receipts were the factors in producing
depression. This was made the most of by
the bears. New York advised that foreigners
were on both sides of the market showing
nervousness on their part st. Louis, which
has been the strongest market for several
days, was weak under heavy pressure of
selling by some of her strong men. A factor
that will soon assume Importance is the
drought in the winter wheat area, preventing
blowing and the termination of the seed al
ready sown. The absence of full pastures in
a large area will largely Increase the con-
sumption of corn on the farms and will tend
to strengthen values OF that cereal. Each
days adVices appear only to emphasize
Europes poverty in breadstuffs. She has not
only underproduced this year, but lacks the
usual old reserves, so the crop shortage Is
doublly severe Therefore, that good prices
are assured America for her supplies for
Europe is not only an urgent buyer of wheat
but of corn, oats and other commodities
There is every reason, 1t appears for pres
ent values to be maintained. If not enhanced.
Temporary weakness and declines are only in
cidents of the gradual lettering of prices.

WOODEN goods are generally firm. the ad-
