REAcTIoNARy DISPOSITION
Showed Itself In Speculation During
the Week.

New York September 21.--Bradstrset's
financial review tomorrow will say; A more
decidedly reactonary disposition showed itself
In speculation this week. Prices were de-
cidedly weak last Saturday and though sup
port was extended to the market on Monday
and Tuesday and the short interest covered
contracts rather extensively on those days
the Improvement was slight and the tone
continued to be nervous.
The developments in connection with the
strike Of anthracite coal miners, while in
CONCLUSIVE as to the question OF a general
stoppage IN that industry, seemed to Wall
street to point to a long and possibly trouble
some struggle with labor, and the market
also takes into consideration not only tho
chances of extension OF labor disturb
ances 10 other trades, but the effects of such
citcums tances on the present situation. In
deed, politics is now receiving a degree Of
attention on the part of the speculative COM
munity which contrasts in a striking manner
with the Indifference about the presidential
contest that heretofore prevailed. The UNI
certainty attending the contest in November
Is receiving consideration and naturally pro-
duccs additional conservatism. ~ she part of

The situation of the money market was an
otnGr hearish factor The large decrease in
cash and surplus averages shown by last

drawals Of money to the interior for crop
movement purposes plus the decreased dis
