THE MARKETS.


New York, Sept. 2.-The stock mar
ket was intensely dull throughout the
days short session and net changes
extend beyond fractions only on rare
stocks. AS the bears had sold the
market short in anticipation of the
bank statement, the evening up of
their contracts when 1t appeared, close
ly conforming to estimates created
demand which rallied the market from
earlier depression and brought the
prices in most cases above yesterdays
level. The fact that Monday is a
holiday had an effect in keeping stock
The report of a death from yellow
fever in New Orleans and the Texas
quarantines caused weakness in the
railroad stocks in the south, notably
Illinois Central, Brooklyn Transit, Ten
nesse Coal, the Republic Steel works
and American Tobacco lead a rise De .
fore the bank statement came out. In
contrast to the sudden outbreak yes
terday of activity in the Vanderblts
there was a single sale in the first
hour of Northwestern and of Omaha
the latter at a gain of point. New
York Central did not appear on the
tape at all until the second hour. Kan
