MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings In All
the Leading stecks.

New York, sept. 29.-Today's market
still further demonstrated the. changed
character OF the speculation and the
entire subsistence of the recent rampant
bull spirit. The bears were more ag-
Eressive han at any time hitherto and
met with scarcely any opposition. The
bears succeeded in d~islodging a large
number of stop loss orders of weakly
margined speculative holdings and
there seemed to be more long selling
than has been the case heretofore.
The declines extend from one to four
points and with very few exceptions
affected every active stock on the list.
1t was a notable fact that whatever
animation was shown was during the
decline and the recovery was slow and
halting and on much diminished
volume of trading. The centers of
bear attacks We're stocks of such I'M
certain value as Sugar and Chicago

have lately proved so easily subject to
manipulation. London continued to
show a disposition to put money into

for the third week in September. An
incident of the day was the lowering
of the actual rates for sterling ex-
change II of a cen and a fall in the
Paris rate of exchange on London.
Each of these incidents indicated a re-
of the pressure of the demand
on London for gold.
owing to the late rally prices of the
Changers. h Vanderbilts and most of
the other leading stocks show insight

predominating. Cotton Oil and Metro

a point, the largest losses were 50 in

Polo Notes.

Lewiston Sun: We expect to have &
polo team in the Spindle City hat will
make the Rockland team 'go some
this season.
Rockland Courier Gazette: a Bel
fast paper denies the rumor that Bel
fast wants any polo. What's the mat
ter. was baseball too much for Belfast
ervous system?
Boston Globe: The Lewiston pole
management has signed its team fol
the coming winter. With n eXcep-
ton the team will be the same as las
year. and Will be as follows: Tarrant
1, Walton, 2, Furbush, halfback, Fitz-
gerald, center. White, goal, Connolley,
sub. White is the new man, and is
highly spoken of.
Portland Express: The committee oil
the city council on public buildings held
a meeting, Tuesday, and together with
Mr.. Walter Burnham and City Treas
urer Libby, fixed up the matter of tho
engagement of the hall for the poll
games this winter. Although it was
admitted by h committee that MI.
Burnbam had the first right to the hall
on Thanksgiving day, Mr..
decided to waive his claims to the hall
on chat occasion on condition that he
he allowed to nave it on Christmas
Mr.. Burnham has practically engaged
the hail for every Tuesday and Thurs
day night after the season opens and
is to pay s27 per night and to furnish
his w lights.
Lewiston Sun: If Lewiston doesn't
have a snappy polo team this season
then none of the teams will. 1t was
snappy last year a good portion of the
time, in fact, it was all right all the
