ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Sept 13.-The most inter-
esting fact connected with today's stock
market was that the principal support ac-
corded the market was through buying
orders cabled from London. The buying
of commission houses here was good, but
aside from that local houses sold heavily,
not only here, but In London. The check
in the decline here was credited to London
buying. Altogether London bought so, 900
shares. If it had not been for the upward
tendency at the opening. in sympathy with
London quotations. it is probable that de-
clines would be much greater than they
are. The good influence of the extra divi-
dend last week on st. Paul was the cause
of the London buying. The New York SELL
ing was attributed to yellow fever and an
apprehension that the Cuban question
would again assume an acute phase<at the
cabinet meeting tomorrow. 1t was some
what notable, however. that Louisville,
which has shown most senstiveness to
yellow fever reports, closed with a small
gain. That some enormous speculative
holdings were in course of liquidation to-
day was obvious, and there is little ground
to doubt that the owners were impelled to
take profits by conviction that prices
have fully attained level commemorate
with developments affecting the value and
earning power Of the properties. The de-
cline was encouraged as much as possible
by the bears, and the effect of fierce raids
was evident in a number of prominent
stocks.
