STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
A Marked Falling Off In Activity on
Wnll GfFeef.

New York, Sept. 21.-The stock market
today showed Il very marked falling Off
in activity. the total sales Of stocks reach
Ing only 10000 shares. The diminished
activity was in part due to the observ-
ance of the Jewish New Year holiday by
many brokers and operators. But there
was besides Il disposition on the part OF
many large interests Which have recently
been active in the markets to stand aside
for the time being and allow prices to
take their own course. The professional
element which has now very generally
espOuscd the bear side were not active
today. Prices rose after the opening in
sympathy with the quotations received
from London, and there was buying also
for London account here. Later some
traders professed to be disappointed ut
the size OF the increase shown In the Au-
gust gross earnings of Omaha. and that
stock was sold down sharply. The mar
ket recedcd below Saturdays close under
these influences, the decline in Rock ISL
and extending to X. but only to fracton-
al amounts in other stocks. Closing bids:
