ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Sept 2S-Today's market
for stocks was astonishingly dull and the
total transactions as low as that Of yes
terday, and was smaller than for many
months. the total sales numbering only
$40, 900 shares. 1t became evident that yes
terdays dullness could not be ascribed to
the Jewish New Year holiday. 1t is an
obvious fact that the large buying inter-
ests which have been SO powerful q 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 corresponding falling of.
There are some who believe that the bull
operators have already liquidated their
holdings and taken their profits. Certain
1t Is that there was no evidence in today's
market of any heavy offerings Of long
stock. The recent conspicuous bulls, new
ertheless, seemed to acQuiesce and offered
little opposition to the bears. Practically
all of the room traders have turned bears
and their selling is called short selling.
The most vigorous attack today was d.
rected against the coalers, on the asser-
ton that the anthracite companies have
been exceeding the allotted. output and
that there was no increase in the output
that made any advance in the price of
coal likely. Some of the prominent indus
trials and the grangers were also under
pressure. Whatever spurts of activity were
shown during the day were on a downward
course of prices and any steadying of the
market or recovery brought intense dull
ness, indicating the weak undertone. Con-
ditions, nevertheless, all continued favora-
BILE as pointing to further increase In the
values of property. Railway earnings all
continued to show Improvement.
For the third week in September the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern report
ed an increase of $19, ,219. The August state
ment Of the Atchison company showed an
increase of the total income from operation
of $131,5S3. London sent higher prices at
the opening, and was buyer of stock all
day, presumably to meet the settlement
which was in progress there. The report
that the government has consented to the
foreclosure sale of the Union Pacific on
the terms proposed by the reorganization
committee with only slight notifications,
created q demand for the stock of that
company, and seemed to steady the gem
eral list. The interest in the money stu
alton was hardening tendency Of domes-
tic exchange, indicating some relaxation
of the drain on money reserve. Local
money rates have continued firm and for

Following is the United States weather

increasing energy until the middle of the

much cooler weather and genrally cloudy
nights. Heavy clouds prevailed over the
mountains, with occasional showers and
thunder storms. The bright, clear weather
was favorable for threshing beans. as the
temperature was just at the right stage
for properly drying and the crop turns out
good average one.
Walnut dropping was retarded by the
warm weather, which, however greatly ia
cilitated raisin making and late fruit dry.

lemon trees by the late hot spell, which,
on the contrary, tended to mature the

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Silver showed a

NEW YORK, Seut 2S.-Commenting up
on the decline in silver, the Evening Post
says:
The chief reason for the decline in sill

belief that the Bank Of England's offer to

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-What was easy at
the opening the heaviness of the north
west receipts having depressing effect.
The number of cars reported at Minneap-
oils and Duluth was 1872, compared with
1924 week ago. A year ago. however. but
1128 cars were received. The effect of this
was an opening decline of %, December,
which closed yesterday at s1%a91N, start
ing today at 91N@9lh. For few minutes
after the opening the market showed
symptoms of recovery. The weather west
and southwest was still very dry, and
farmers were reported to be greatly dis
couraged on account of their inability
to do their fall plowing. Reports Of dam
age by drought and frost in Argentine
vance in December to 91A. 1t held steady
for q moment or two, and for the remain
der of the session the market ruled weak.
There was but one interruption to the de-
cline, and that came when the closing
Liverpool cables were posted, showing NO
" advance. Continental cables were ir-
regular, Antwerp reporting 1914 centimes
decline, while Paris showed 10 centimes
advance in September. with later deliveries
unchanged. The market as a whole was
very dull. with an almost total absence
of outside support. December was selling
at 90% at the close.
Corn opened easy and became weak as
the session advanced. The weakest feat
ure of the situation was that cash corn
was offered 2 cents below December prices

There was little doing in oats. The mar
ket was weak from the start, principally
through sympathy with wheat.
Provisions were steady at the opening.
The market soon became weak on free
offerings of ribs by packers generally and
of lard and pork by Cudahy Yesterdays

At the close December pork was 10 cents
lower, December lard about 10 cents lower
and December ribs 10 cents lower.
