THE RISE MET by QUITE HEAVY
OFFERINGS IN LIQUIDATION.
TOBACCO SHOWS SHARP RECOVERY.
IL Rises Seven Points on Forced
Covering of Shorts-The Prices of
Bonds Generally Lower-wheat
Prices Down.

NEW YORK, September 10-The stock
market opened higher to-day. under the
impetus OF better prices for Americans

parently manipulated from this side, and
the rise here was met by quite heavy Of
ferings In continuation OF the liauidation

OF loans. The extent Of this liquidation is
reflected in the contraction OF S6,77s7O0 In
loans, shown by the weekly statement Of
the clearinghouse banks. Northern Pa
cifc (preferred) and New York Central
showed the largest gains in the railroad
list. the latter on short covering. The
advance in Central was lost, but Northern
Pacific preferreD held persstently firm
in the reaction after the opening.
The reaction at the opening invited some
buying, especially in st. Paul, which rail-
lied nearly a point on the traffic state
ment Of the first week in September
showing an increase over last years un-
precedentedly high level OF $40, Az. The
corn roads sympathized only moderately,
on account Of the tips current i'm the
grain market that the government report
of the condition of the corn crop would
be unfavorable.
TOBACCO RECEIVERS VIOLENTLY.

in the second hour. and Tobacco showed
a violent recovery from yesterdays weak
ness, rising an extreme points, on forced
