cline Resulted.

New York, September 20.--The stock mar
kot today presented all the characteristics
Of genuine reaction. Last weeks sharp re-
coyery eliminated the short interest very
largely and the forced liquidation of profits
had been mostly completed during the pre-
vous decline. The market was thus free 10 a
great extent from technical influences and IN
condition to respond to the prospects for gen
oral business In the country. Its failure 10
do so was attributed to the unsettling inlu-
ence of the slump in Sugar. The bears were
evidently timd about continuing their cam
paign further against Sugar and were in
clined to cover. SO that this influence to-
wards reaction was removed Nevertheless,
the market dropped heavily towards a lower
basis. with one or two exceptions In the list.
