NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Nothing seasa-
tional developed in today's stock market,
and, taken as whole. the days changes
from yesterdays closing prices, We're sig
nifcant. During the first toar stocks
moved uncertainty UP and down, rejecting
at the opening perhaps the relief fe-t in
London over the fact that the Transvaal
trouble had at least not been intensife
by the cabinet council of yesterday.
1t was the bank statement, however, for
which todays market wa-tsd with the most
curiosity and concern Doubt over what the
average system" would do by way of dis
torting actual returns was probably re-
sponsible for the markets weakness as tn :
hour for the statement to BE- published ap-
preached.
AS it happened. however. the official
bank exhibit was reasonably close TO the
known facts Of the situation. Ii reached
a net decrease for the week in specie and
local tenders Of s2.51o,o00 which tallies al
most exactly with yesterdays estimates.
The account of loans, regarding the actual
facts OF which more uncertainty existed.
shows reduction of nearly $4,000, 900 and
the resultant contraction Of liabilities was
more than sufficient to add a creditable
sum TO the surplus reserve. The stock
market recovered temporarily on the pub
lication of these results, but closed irreg-
ular and heavy.
The conspicuous features OF the early
market were Brooklyn Rapid Transit and
the United States leather stocks. The re-
coyery in ths first named made further
progress without anything more definite
coming TO light in regard to the rumored
entrance of new interests into the property.
The dealings in the Leather stocks weTa
extremely heavy and were based upon ru-
mors that soma arrangement in regard &c
the settlement of the accrued dividends on
the preferred stock was under way.
The railway list opened at material ad-
Nances which were subsequently shaded.
Metropolitan Street Railway was again no.
tably strong. The industrial quarter also
showed frmness, notably for Sugar Rein
ing and Federal Steel. There was yir-
tual absence of news over night bearing
upon the speculative situation.
