NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Stocks weak
ened afresh today, and after two hours
Of active trading the market closed act
I've and weak. except for the irregular
ity caused by the shorts buying to cover
in some Of stocks which had been most
severely rafded by the bears. Only on
Tennessee Coal was the rally as much
as point, including a net loss of 2
points in that stock The coalerS, the
high price specialties and the steel
stocks, except the steel rail makers,
show the heaviest losses. The rioting
and bloodshed in the anthracite mining
region had a depressing influence on the
whole list, and Reading issues were spc-
cially affected OH account of the nope
that has been INDUCED that its mines
would not be shut down. which is dtsap-
in that company's shafts The light
buying for London account was entirely
ddsregarded, and the slight demand from
bargain hunters which made it's appear
influence in checking the liquidations.
The railroad group did not escape the
prevailing weakness, and standard rail
road stocks We're as much depressed as
stocks OF minor roads. There were loss
es OF q point or over in the trunk lines,
the Southern group, the Southwesterns,
the grangers end the Pacifics. B. & o.
and Louisville & Nashville were most
conspicuous for weakness. The bank
statement tended to precipitate renewed
selling, although it was no weaker than
had been anticipated, and having de-
creased in loans, was rather better. The
loan contraction shows the extent 10
which genuine Hquida ton has been going
on IN the stock market during the week,
and detracts materially from the force
of assertions that the selling has been
mostly fer short account. II seems also
that the renaittances in payment of the
German loan, which stiffened the eS-
change market carly in the week, were
arranged without recourse to the local
money market. The movement of gold
from the Bank of England to Germany,
coupled with the heavy interior demands
for currency; strengthened the conviction
that higher money rates are inevitable.

~ affected compared with stocks. but
liquidation has been in evidence there

RAFTERs OF LIVING GREEN
Description of a Cornfieid From the
New Book of EIen Holden.


We climbed the wall, as he ate, and
buried ouselVeS i'll the deep corn. The
fragrant, silky tassels brushed my face
and the corn Kissed at cur intrusion,
crossing its green Sabers in our path.
Far in the field my companion heaped
little Of the soft earth for pillow,
spread the oil cloth between rows, and,
as we lay down, drew the big shawl over
us. Uncle Eb was tired after the toll of
that night and went asleep almost as he
was down. Before 1 dropped off Fred
came and licked my face and stepped
over me, his tail Wagging for leave, and
curled upon the shawl at my feet. 1
could see no Sky in that gloomy green
aisle of corn. This going to bed In the
morning seemed a foolish business to me
that day and 1 lay a long time looking
up at the rustling canopy overhead. /
remember listening to the waves that
came whispering out of the further field,
nearer and nearer, until they swept over
us with roaring swash OF leaves, like
that of water flooding among the rocks,
as | have heard it often. twinge of
inconsistencies came to me and the Snor-
ing of Uncle Eb gave me no comfort. 1
remember covering my head and crying
softly as / thought of those who had
gone away and whom I was to meet in
a far country, called heaven, whittier we
in sleep. When 1 awoke it had grown
dusk under the corn felt for Uncle Eb
and he was gone. Then called to him.
flush, boy! lie low he whispered,
g Fraid they're after us.
He sat knee.ing beside me- holding Fred
by the collar and listening. L could hear
voices, the rustic OF the corn and the
tramp Of feet near by. It was thunder
ing in the distance-that heavy, shaking
thunder that seems to take hold of the
earth. and there were sounds in the
| corn like the drawing of sabers and the
rush Of many feet The noisy thunder
clouds came nearer and the voices that
had made US trembie were no longer
heard. Uncle Eb began to fasten the oil
blanket 10 the stalks of corn for a shell
ter The rain came roar 'ng over us. The
sound OF it was like that of host of
calvary coming at gallop. We lay
bracing the stalks. the blanket tied above
us. and were quite dry for a time The
rain ratified in the sounding sheaves and
| then came flooding down the steep gut
teTs Above US beam and rafter creaked,
sway-ng. and showing glimpses of the
dark = sky The rain passed-we could
hear the last battalion leaving the field
and then the tumult ended as suddenly
| as it began The corn trembIed few
moments and hushed to a faint whisper
Then we ceuld hear only the drip of rain
drops leaking through the green roof
1t was dark under the corn
