STOCKS UNDERGO
SHARP REACTION
UnfavorabIe Bank Statement
and Crop Report the Cause
ST. PAUL LEADS DECLINE
Present Anxiety Is Having Real In
fluence In Crop Region BY In
ducing Conservative Rusi-
ness Methods.

New York, September 17.-Prices of
stocks underwent sharp reaction again
today under the combined influence of an
unfavorable bank statement and appre-
tension of crop damage. The holiday in
the London market was also an influence
as operations for London account have
been of some Importance for a number
Of days. The grain markets were reac-
tionary but the highly speculative condi-
tions in those markets make Wall street
somewhat suspicious of them as a reliable
index of real conditions.
st. Paul was the leader of the decline.
but the other grangers and Pacific were
not far behind. The break In Reading
was Of large influence as early attempts
were made to advance the price on the
score of favorable earnings report The
further s10 AZ, 900 loan expansion disclosed
by the bank statement disappointed any
expectation that the weeks liquidation
IN the stock market was reducing that
Item. It's increase is attributed by bank
ers to interior borrowings for crop NOV
ing purposes, especially in the SOUTH The
Interior demand is also responsible for
the further IS. 46O, 800 shrinkage In the cash
item. The natural result Is a decline of
s9,0S5.100 in the surplus of the banks.
Total sales of bonds par value, 81, 965, 900.
The market in the earlier portion of the
week succumbed generally to the pres
sure upon 1t, and 1t was In the latter
period that resistance to the decline de-
veloped. Free realizing was expected in
view of the proportions of the previous
advance, and the lack Of new incidents to
extend 1t.
But the reaction was aggravated by
number of unfavorable developments
which caused uneasiness as to the stabil-
ity of values. The most important and
effective OF these was the deterioration
of the crops Last Saturdays government
crop report of conditions on September 1
showed such a heavy decline in condition
of wheat since the previous report as to
give large influence to the constantly ap-
pearing estimates of a crop much lower
than the governments figures for the first
of the month indicated.
The development of a cold wave and
the occurrence of light frosts In the crop
regions of the west adds to the fears
of spectators, and the violent specula-
ton In progress in tho grain markets ex-
aggerated the effect of all developments
regarding the crops.
Reports from western railroad officials
demonstrated that however favorable the
ultimate result may be, the present anx-
iety is having real influence on affairs
In the crop region by inducing conserva-
tive courses in business. and the with
holding of orders for future consump-
ton. Disappointment was expressed by
the railroad officials over the offerings
of merchandise for shipment westwaNd,
which was not developing as rapidly as
mad been expected the week before.
The grain movement, however was ex-
panding at a satisfactory rate and the
movement of cotton warranted confidence
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-09-18

In values OF the cotton carriers. This
group, In fact played conspicuous part
In the later movements towards the re-
covery in the market, but their move
ments was so stimulated by manipulation
as to be in sympathetic effect On the rest
of the market.
The demand for the trunk line railroad
stocks was associated with the strength
of the steel stocks But their movement
was accompanied by many rumors whose
failure of confirmation threw the move
ment open to suspicion of manipulation.
Thus 1t was reported that Pennsylvania
was to secure control of Southern rail-
way and of the Atchison, that Erie had
obtained the new Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton, and Pere Marquette combi-
nation, and would include Toledo, st.
Louis and Western in the acquisition,
and that the Gould Pennsylvania dispute
had ben settled.

LeIshman & CO.'S Market letter.

Fluctuations in the cotton market have
been erratic and business highly profess
sfonal throughout the week.
Stronger during the early part of the
week on a good demand from spinners
and unfavorable weather in the cotton
belt, the market eased Off on the profit
taking sales and increased offerings, but
again strengthened on a good demand
from spinners around the low level. !.
Mil men are at last beginning to realize
that lower prices cannot be hoped for as
long as the good demand for cotton goods
continue and the demand equal to and in
excess of the supply.
The long looked for break In the textile
strike will have a stimulating effect on
prices and with the mills running as full
time and spinners buying freely the mar
ket should respond to this influence with
a good advance We are still inclined to
the bull side and as long as the condition
of the crop is still in an uncertain state.
favor the purchase rather than the sale
of cotton at present prices.

Wonderful Exhibits.

st. Louis, September 10.-The large
building to accommodate the Benguiat
Museum of Ancient Art at the Worlds
fair is almost completed. 1t was only
four or five weeks ago that II. Ephraim
Benguiat decided to exhibit his priceless
treasures at the exposition, and this Is
why this one uncompleted building is
seen on the grounds. The handsome
structure on International avenue, south
OF the Brazilian national pavilion and
moth of the East India tea palace, will
be ready for occupancy in a few days.
Undoubtedly a splendid treat Is in store
for Worlds fair visitors who will be
privileged to inspect the treasures in the
Benguiat pavilion. The collection con-

having its own interesting history.
One of the wonderful things that will
be found in the building is a portion Of
the Damascus Caliphate Palace, pur-
chased by Mr.. Benguiat at great cost.

of the original. 1t Is gem of oriental
architecture, next to the Alhambra In

Oriental view. The walls and ceilings are

gends adorn the walls.
The Benguiat collection is result OF
a lifetime of devotion to ancient art. Mr..
Benguiat is a born connoisseur. A man

part Of his life to searching out and Sc
curing the rarest articles Of Jewish and
