eel to $1,495,o00

New York, September 15.-There was
pressure to sell Brooklyn Transit and st.
Paul from the outset today. Brooklyn
Transit occupied the center of the stage all
day. The dealings in these stocks were on
an enormous scale and the amount thrown
overheard on the decline made the fact of
inside liquidation obvious. The bears, of
course, also were very active in this stock
and the occasional covering by this ele-
ment afforded the only effective check to
downward plunges of the stock.
There seemed to be no support accorded
at all until it had touched 80. From that
stage there were occasional checks and
rallies before it touched the extreme low
poinnt at S68s. After a final rally to IS
1t closed under pressure at a net loss of
6s4. The other members of the Flour
group did not develop any keen sympathy
until late in the day, when Peoples Gas,
Federal Steel and Rock Island were down
from Ia to points. These stocks rallied
somewhat before the close. Holdings of St
Paul, disappointed over yesterdays divi-
dehd action, broke the price point at the
opening. There was a subsequent recovery
OF practically all the loss and the whole
railroad list moved up to nearly last

inauguration of an influential buying move.
meht. The appearance of strength was in
creased by a brisk demand for the coalers
winch rose from l to 31a. The upward
movement came to an abrupt end before
noon when Brooklyn Transit, Sugar, Peo-
Pies Gas and the Western railroad shares
generally led by St. Paul, fell away by
rapid degrees. st. Paul dropped to 1.29ls
and ruled below 100 for the rest of the
day. Except in few isolated cases there
was no subsequent demonstration of
strength. The closing was irregular at
net losses throughout.
The quiet tone of the money market dur
ing the latter part of the week indicates
clearly that the banks are within their le-
sal reserve limit Whether This is due to
the fact that the loans nave been reduced

as the coming weeks movement of 1896

will be something like 100000 bales by next

ture of the day was the worlds visible sup
ply which showed a gain of 539O2, against
a decrease of 1881 last year and an In
crease of 76,79S in 1897, these figures caused
some selling when December was backed
to $40. The market at the moment Is
somewhat steadier because there is rea-
son for the visible increase which is that
this year the crop is early and is being
added rapidly to the visible. Last season
the marketing was late and what is acting
as a bear factor now the visible will prove
a bull feature in the season.

Both sides seem to be hating with chances
in favor of advancing though prices may
first sag off few points. There is no ae-
gressive selling. Liverpool stocks are now
only 100 900 bales ahead of last year at
this date and there is again considerable
interest in tho movement in that market.
So far the trade on the other side is not
scared by our crop news. 1t will take some
time to convince people that the crop Is
going to show any such serious loss as
claimed by rampant bulls. 1t is hardly
probable that we shall witness much or
a market for awhile. People are disposed

MODERATE TRADING
IN COTTON MARKET
Price Changes Too Narrow TO
Stimulate interest.
SHORTS WENT TO COVER
Hester's Weekly Crop Figures Proved
OF Bearish Import-The Close Was
Steady, Net Unchanged to
Two Points Lower
SHORTS WENT TO COVER

New York, September 15.-Speculation in
cotton futures was only moderate today
with price changes too narrow to stimulate
investment interest. The opening was
steady at an advance of 1d4 points on firm
cables and southern buying, which, in turn
started a scurry of shorts to cover.
The rise was soon supplanted by a slight
net loss under foreign selling, rumored to
be for protection of heavy purchases of
spot cotton.
From that time on to the middle of the
afternoon the market ruled lifeless. Hes
ters weekly crop figures proved of bearish
import and during the latter part of the
session liquidation figured conspieuously,
Forcing prices point by point to the lowest
level of the day. Near the close there was
some covering, with the market finally
steady, net unchanged to 2 points lower

BY Private Wire from the New York Sum-
New York, September 15.-Liquidation
was resumed in the stock market today
practically with the opening of business
and in some instances the declines were
exceedingly sharp. There was little that
was new bearing upon the general situa-
ton over night except that London APP
peared to have taken a fresh scare in re-
gard to the South African situation and
sent in lower range of prices for Ameri-
can stocks and also moderate selling or
ders in this market. Doubtless the common
expectations that tomorrow's bank state
ment would make another poor showing in
duced some selling, but as regards this
it is quite possible that the weeks reduce
ton in deposits from the liquidation of
loans and the loss of cash will be so heavy
as to reduce very materially the falling off
in surplus reserves. which is always the
feature of the statement towards which
the bulk of the attention is attracted, not
always logically. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
in a morning break of points, and Sugar
and st. Paul, showed the most conspicuous
losses and the first named was the feature
of tho market throughout the day. The
transactions in it were enormous and the
pressure of long stock was unremitting.
Little that was new, bearing upon the
stock came to light but the selling of the
stock was of the same character that had
been noted in it since the appearance of it's
disappointing annual report and which has
been even more urgent since the heavy
the recent electrical storm at Coney Island
became known. The Anthracite Coal
shares were all comparatively steady but
in the rest of the market pressure was
everywhere apparent and the declines were
more or less uniform.

with only small recovery, the balance of
the market was extremely dull and fiuc-
tuations were confined within narrow
range. What little strength that devel-
oped towards the close was due to little
better export inquiry and firmness of coarse
local traders. Scalping operations pre-
dominated While clearances no doubt VIII
show up heavy, they are more than offset
by the large northwest movement and the

extreme dullness which has been so preva-
lent of late great activity may result and

ture should be watched very closely. Any
good buying would start values up in
jiffy.
