NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Tcday's stock
market was as uniformly weak as yester-
days was steady, but the results in re-
spect TO prices were much more extensive.
In the first hour, the market was extreme
ly duh and the fluctuations were insig-
nificant in every way. Subsequently,
greater activity developed and the heav-
Ter transactions were attended by general
and substantial declines. Little or moth
ing happened in the course of the day that
was not fully known at the opening As
has been the case some time interest was
centred upon the anthracite coal labor
ers' strike. the Presidential campaign, and
money market possibilities.
On the whole, the strike situation APP
peared this morning TO be somewhat more
discouraging and as regarded the politi-
cal outlook it seemed to be the common
conclusion that increased nervousness and
anxiety were likely to attend the course
of the campaign up to the time of the
election. Yesterdays indications of some
what closer money market conditions
were also strengthened today, as lenders
and current quotations for money on call
were generally made at advanced fig
aures. At the same time, as already noted
none OF the circumstances cited exhibited
any actually new phases and they were
cer-ainiy not accentuated to a degree
which would account for, of themselves,
The material declines recorded in the
days market
The absence of important developments
was not supplied by novel occurrences
bearing on particular stocks. AS matter
of fact, in few cases, where speculative
circumstances could be cited in particular
stocks the declines were no more extern
sive than these recorded in the general
market. In the instance of Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. for example, it was at
tempted to make capital out of the in
PRODUCTION into the board OF aldermen of
a resolution looking to forcing the COM
Pany to place its trolley wires under
ground, but as a matter of fact Brooklyn
Rapid Transit was no more depressed
than were Metropolitan Street Railway,
or Manhattan All OF these stocks were
DOUBTLESS particularly affected by the
prospective final judicial settlement of
the phases of the franchise tax law. now
in litigation
All Of the steel industrial stocks were
also notably weak. But little or nothing
that was definite attended the selling in
that quarter of the market There were
a number of substantial declines in the \
railway list, particularly in Burlington and |
Quincy, st. Paul New York Central. the |
Atchison shares. ard the Pacific stocks. |
but it was difficult to align their tendency |
with any particularly related developments /
AS was TO be expected in view OF the alb
sence Of any generally known circuin-
stances which would explain the markets
nnTa
reasons for the decline. but apart from |
the views TO the position and the oper-
atoms Of certain large professional traders,
explanations were not forthcoming. Lon |
don was again a factor of little account in
the market in any respect.

There was well-defned weakness In the
stock market yesterday afternoon, prices
declining from a fraction TO three or four
points under the influence OF bear manipu-
iation Of a vigorous kind. Business was
dull. and save for the slipping away
of prices, the market was entirely
in accord with that OF every day in re-
cent weeks, unimportant and uninterest-
ing. The influences which were used as
bear arguments and on which the short
sellers based their operations were the
news of many additional recruits to the
striking miners, the talk of the bad effect
that the strike will have on Mr. McKin-
ley's chances for reelection the reitera-
tion Of the tight money gossip. and the
boom in the price Of wheat II may be
stated very positively, however. that
there was little actual selling OF long
stock on account of any of these
factors. Il is undoubtedly the fact
that these matters, or some of them
at least, are legitimate bearish influences.
but the more important consideration is
that prices are now at very low
level and that the present holders of Sc
euritieS-are largely those that have
bought al present prices or lower with
the intention OF holding until there is
large and permanent advance. These Sc
curity holders recognize that the bullisb
items in the general situation far out
weigh the bad and that any slight decline
that may be engineered by the bears cam
not be permanent.

The news yesterday included a number
OF interesting railway earnings statements
for the second week of September 1t is
TO be noted that all of these statements
show continuance of the increases In
gross earnings despite all that has been
said by the bears regarding the certainty
OF decreases. Last year was by far the
finest year in the history of American
railways up to that time as far as gross
earnings We're concerned. Notwithstand-
ing this fact, every week so far this year
has shown large increase over last
years tgures. This is more of a good
thing than was expected even by the bulls.
1t is more than they had any right to ex-
pect. The gross earnings of the Ches9-
peake and Ohio for the week show an in
crease of SOS, 700 and for the period since
July l they show an increase of s340, 400.
The gross Of the Southern Railway for
the same period shows an increase Of
S15,6S9 and S3S3.5S1. The gross earnings
of the Missouri Pacific for the week show
an increase of Sal, eco, since January / it
shows an increase of 1888, CTS The Nor
folk and Western increases fer the week
and for the period since July l are $iS,-
