NEW YORK. Sept 1s.-On all posi-

cables this morning were about right
The September option in Liverpool was
little weak. but failed TO exert much
influence in this market. owing TO fair
support from bull sources. Late months
on the call were steadied by the preva-

the bears pointed out that IL was gener-
ally clear in all sections. and therefore
favorable for larger movement. Ac-
cording to the Government weather map
no frosts occurred. despite the low tenn
peratures. and this fact undoubtedly in
creased confidence among the bears.

this week the loss OF the banks 10 the
