which continued after he rapped
for order, until he admonished
the audience that the courtroom

For three hours the crowded
courtroom had hung upon Mr.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-FOr about half an
hour during the morning the market dis
played weakness and the traders were dis
posed to look for lower prices in view of
the probability Of somewhat higher rates
for money. The declines did not attract
much liquidation on the part of commission
houses, and when the traders found that
their operations were mainly responsible
for the downward tendency they started
to cover, with the result that the market
advanced rather easily. The news of the
day was on the whole rather bullish. The
London market showed considerable
strength, and arbitrage houses were buy

favorable nature of the July report. Other
prominent stocks were st. Pau, Union Pa

considerable firmness. Although there was
a moderate reaction toward the close owing
to profit taking, the market on the whole
closed steady and strong. Renewal rates
for call money were mainly at 4 per cent.
Almost all new loans were made at that
figure, although there was some borrow
ing at 3I2. Money brokers do not antici-
pate any decided s%tringency, as sterling
exchange continues weak and it seems
probable that the Bank of England rate
will be reduced tomorrow. Any further
material decline in sterling exchange would
result in the importation of some 50. 600 OOC

NEW YORK, Sept. A-To-day's stock
market was an almost exclusively profess
sionaI affair with evidence of a participa-
ton by the speculative party, which is
rather vaguely characterized as the
Western contingent" This party has been
active at intervals in the stock market
ever since the corn crop prospects became
an element in the speculation. They con-
tinued the sale of stocks this morning, but
early became impressed with the notable
paucity Of the offerings which were
brought out under the pressure they put
upon the market. and reversed their posi-
ton to the buying side. The free offer
ings of corn to-day which were at terms to
attract some demand for export of that
grain for the first time in a considerable
period, may have had an influence on these
covering operations.
To-day's movement of prices seemed
largely due, however, to maneuvers by
c~ontending professional operators. follow
