Republican Delegates Lust Evening rn- structed for Livingston w. cIeaveInnd. The New Haven probate convention was held at the rooms of the Young Mems Republican club last evening. This convention was for the purpose of electing sixteen delegates to the district probate convention which will nominate candidate for judge of probate for this district.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Quiet Close After a stormy Day.

New York, Sept 24-After stormy day in the stock market the closing was quiet, but with the undertone still slightly unsettled It was a day of vio- lent fluctuations and of many changes in the course of prices. Twice there was dangerous break which threatened de- moralization, and twice there was an effective recovery. Just at the last there was some very large selling by sholders who wished to rake advantage of the rally. There was undoubtedly a general sentiment at rne close of the market that the position of the banks had been effectually strengthened and that the violent loan contraction had about reached its limit for the present. The opening break in prices. which ran from i to points for the active leaders, was aggravated by the unexpected newsnews of President Roosevelts dis ability and the necessity for surgical treatment. The bulletins given out from the presidents train served to reassure fears on that score. There was a sus- picion also that yesterdays late heavy liquidation had been due to some ad- vance information of the operation on the president. The consequence was that prices recovered pretty generally during the first hour.
 The opening rate for coal loans was announced at IS per cent. and after a momentary reaction to 15 per cent. the rate scared to 25 per cent. Stocks were then unloaded in enormous volume and prices slumped from 3 to 5 points below last nights level, before any effective resistance was shown. The banks were cutting down accommodations on call to brokerage firms and recuperating their reserves. Assurances were heard fom all sides that abundant esources were available for all regular business purposes. The great speculative com binations which have taken out loans and bought stocks on margin for some time past had nothing to do but to sell their stock and repay the loans. Vari- ous estimates are current of the extent of these loans and the closeness of the combination is not clearly defined, but 1t is believed that resources to the ex- tent of 60000, 1000 have been subject to centralized direction in the speculative campaign which was undertaken. Talk was renewed to-day of an intention on the part of the secretary of the treasury to increase government deposits with the banks up to the market value of the government bonds for security, but no official sanction could be secured for this report This discussion, however. was an effective factor in the late rally in the market. The buying late in the day centered in the Gould stocks and resulted in carrying Western Union 1B and Manhattan 2S over last nights level.
 Bonds suffered quite severely in the liquidation but rallied vigorously in sympathy with stocks. Total sales par value $6,170,000.
 United States 2s declined H and the old As advanced A per cent. on the last call.
