THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Sept. 1S.-There was fur
ther liquidation on the stock exchange
and short selling today. Since Friday
more than enough has gone from the
banks to the sub-treasury and the in
terror to wipe out the insignificant sur
plus shown by Saturdays bank state
ments. AS only half an hour was afford
ed after the appearance of the state
ment on Saturday for the liquidation Of
accounts, a very large volume of selling
orders from all quarters had accumu-
lated In brokers' hands when the mar
ket opened today. Prices took a down
ward plunge on opening transactions
throughout the list Professional trad
ers We're very bold on the bear side and
heiped on the decline by large sales for

industrial specialties showed the most
serious losses the opening sales show

for the day generally were touched on
this movement, st. Paul extending its
loss to Sd.
The very violence of the movement
invited some recovery, and soon after
prices had generally turned upward.
The evident relaxation of the pressure
to liquidate warned the bears that they
had oversold the market and the buy
ing demand became rather urgent.
Prices of the specialties recovered from
2 to over 4 points. A great portion of
railroad stocks became quite conspicu-

qIoward, Crosby & Co.'S Boston letter.
Boston, Sept 1S-Wheat opened steady
at nc over the Saturdays close, Liver
pool cables at Ssd higher being an agree
able surprise in the face of American de-
clines on the curb Saturday, probably in
fuenced by the political situation In
South Africa. Liverpool closed 1sd higher
with the market steady to strong. Win
encing great trouble in securing suffi-
Gent supplies of good winter wheat. The
weather map shows general rains in the
Missouri and Ohio valleys. The trade
looked for an increase in the visible of
about two millions but when the state
ment was published, showing an increase
of $4,000, there was considerable wheat
dumped on the market and the price
point. Chicago reports that a corner in
wheat has been quietly inaugurated by
Weare and Armour and the report naive
" adds that they have nothing against
them and everything In their favor"
The stock market opened weak under
the execution of selling orders received
over Sunday and the continuance of adj
verse advices as to the Transvaal. There
We're numerous stop loss orders reached
and the bear contingent continued to at
tack what it considered vulnerable spots
The rush to sell carried prices down with

cries but the unsettled tone continued al
though the railway list was relatively
firm. The transactions in the market

lies Indicated that support was not want
ing. The feature at the opening was the
lack Of buying orders anywhere near clos
ing figures; the pressure to sell was not
very large as far as amounts were CON
cerned but brokers offered prices down
until a market was found.
Traders sold on belief that this week
would see a large disturbance In the

peoially in the industrials. There was
