New York Stocks.

Wall St. New York, Sept 16.-STOCKS-
Small offerings of stocks carried opening
prices in the stock market below last
nights level. Slightly higher prices for
the Wabash stocks made the only impor-
tant exception. The declines were small
and the trading languid.
Small additions to the dealings We're
made with no decided increase in the vol
un1e of buying. Low priced stocks were
rather more active than those of higher
value, but in no instance was the move
ment sufficiently marked to call for com
ment except for rise of point in Mis-
souri, Pacific, IL points in Canadian Pa
cific and points In u. S. Rubber.
Small inroads upon the surplus reserve
reported in the bank statement brought a
decisive response in prices of stocks. Ca
madam Pacific rising as points, Duluth,
South Shore and Atlantic preferred 27s
points, New York Central 21z points. C..
and o. ia points, Chicago Great western
preferred u points, Denver and Rio
Paul, Pennsylvania. L. and N, Amalga--
mated Copper, Metropolitan Securities and
Locomotive point or more. United
States Rubber gained 2ss points and the
preferred 2Ss points.
The closing was strong and active.
