City Yacht Club was fired Memorial Day as a

But that the patrons Of a fashionable resort are
obedient to precedent has been demonstrated dur

and regular summer visitors at the hotels The

signal for which they had been waiting, and at its
signal they packed up and started on their sum-

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Sept. 30.-Stock market op-
orators showed a lack of confidence IL
the market today in the absence OF the
large buying by the great banking inter
ests which supported prices yesterday.
The brisk upward movement at the OPEN
ing in continuation of yesterdays move
ment gave place to dullness and hesita-
ton followed by slow downward move
ment. and ending with decided weakness
ard a drop which wiped out good part
of yesterdays gains News Developments
were quite without influence on the movt-
ment end the entire interest of operators
seemed to be conferred on the question
whether the leading banks and capitalists
Of the country would continue to lead a
buying movement and whether the urgent
liquidation to secure relief from embar-
rassment caused by over extension by
various syndicatcs and capitalists was
finished. The opening advance was much
helped by the more cheerful tone in Lon
don. The completion of the stock market
settlement there without embarrassment
afforded great relief and led to a sharp
rebound in British consols. There seemed
to be a good demand also for American
securities over there. 1t was suggested
that Americans who desired to go long Of
the market might have preferred to do so
in London as the closing up of the con-
tract will be deferred for two weeks until
the next stock market settlement. 1t
soon became manifest in the course CT the
animated trading of the first hour that
stocks bought yesterday were being sold
to take profits This seemed to demon
strate the simple purpose of that buying
to support the market and check the dis
orderly decline and took away the invest
nent character of the buving. The sell
ing of the United States Steel second
fives on the point rise was especially con-
spicuous and caused fear that it had
been marked up to market holdings. The
renewal of the urgent pressure against
Pennsylvania completed the discontinue
of the newly formed bull sentiment and
turned the tide distinctly downward.
Pennsylvania fell rs below last night
and q number of the other market lead
crs as much as two points, while the gen
cral run of the market was l to points
lower than last night. The closing was
heavy and without effective rally.
The bond market was irregular. Total

1t begin to look as though the bumper
crop idea would have to be abandoned
Now the question is, whether the crop Is
going to be large enough to meet all re-
quirements and carry on the decline N
prices? This will be settled later. For
the present the movement is liberal and
the buying power is not liberal. Cotton
is coming in freely and inducements to
buy for an advance are not such as TO
attract spectators. The trade reaction
may include cotton before the end of the
year, and at any rate splnners are very
conservative at the moment This tends
to offset the bad crop news, and crop
news could not be much worse. This will
of course have its effect later on. For
the present, we would continue very eau
tious about both selling and buying cot

were also rendered nervous by the uncer-

in September, and there was enough COW

session progressed, however, and it became
evident that September shorts had finally
adjusted their commitments the tension
was relaxed and the market eased off to

Offerings were not aggressive, however,

Cotton Letter,

The government report on cotton mex.
Saturday is likely to be below 20, accor-
ing to the pit, and some expect a decline
of IA or Is points. 1t is this that has
caused the short covering and the steadi-
ness In the market around 9bc. This
morning Liverpool advanced somewhat in
the face of the break here yesterday, and
this was attributed to the weekly report
of yesterday. The condition of the crop
of some of the most important sections in
the South is not good. The damage by
