NEW YORK, Sept. S-For the greater
part of the time today prices in the
stock market wavered and hesitated in
an uncertain manner, as was the case
yesterday. But an active buying from
the first hour established level of
prices well above those of yesterday,
and 1t was about this level that the
days fluctuations occurred.
The bear element was impressed ap-
parently with the evidence of resistance
IN the market and by some large buying
that was attributed by current speculative
to the account of large banking and finan-
cial interests for the purpose of support
ing prices. This is new development
IN the recent situation and intimidated
the bears.
London also bought largely during the
activity of the first hour, although the
original source of cabled buying orders
are always open to suspicion. London
itself was not conspicuously cheerful and
under the influence of yesterdays advance
in the bank rate. Private discounts there
sorption of gold by Paris continued un-
abated, while further engagements were
made for shipment to South America.
Some relief was caused In purely specu-
lative quarters by the failure to appear
of the days stock market disaster which
was foretold in some highly sensational
predictions Of an active professional OPP
orator.
Strength was shown by Canadian Pa
cific, Union Pacific and Atchison. Read
ing also showed greater strength than
the average for the week. Other gains
were quite uniform and did not vary far
from a point
Money rates were quite stiffy held and
the forecast indicated the expected heavy
decline in cash reserves by the banks. But
1T was inferred from the absence of furry
in the call money market and from the
securities to keep pace with the expand
ing requirements of the cash, was fully
abreast of money market needs.
The estimates of the currency movement
covers five days and includes loss In
subtreasury operations of $4,365, ,00O On the
direct movement by express the banks
have continued to lose and 1t is believed
that the decline has been sufficient to
bring the total loss in cash to consider
ably over s7,OOO,00 which would be more
than sufficient to wipe out the surplus
as it stood last week without a reduction
in the reserve requirements which would
conserve the surplus. Reduction of depos-
its by loan contraction on large scale
is confidently expected, however, as
feature of tomorrows bank statement.
A brisk rally in the price of copper In
the London market was help to Anal
gamated Copper here.
A good effect was produced also by the
report of a settlement of the freight rate
dispute between the gulf and Atlantic
The absence of any renewed selling
pressure on the market encouraged some
fresh buying late in the day and the
closing was strong at the top level.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. &. 735. 900

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
December Wheat Closed at Top Fig
ure-Provlslons Firm

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, Sept S.-Notwithstandin
higher prices at Liverpool the wheat
market here opened rather weak, Decem-
ber being off BQAc to ss@1ac at 81Bc to
S21ac. Sentiment was quite bearish the
first half of the session. At no time,
however, did the price Of the December
delivery drop below the opening figures.
The volume of trading was quite small.
Toward the middle of the session the
market became considerably more active,
and on fair support from several bull
leaders, prices made substantial ad-
vance. Much of the demand came as the
result of messages from New York as
serting that foreigners were buying
American wheat.
Higher prices for cash wheat at outside
markets helped to stimulate demand for
wheat here. December's high point of the
day was reached at S24@S27sc. The mar
ket closed firm with December at 92ss0
92Ac.
Sentiment in the corn pit was rather
bearish early in the session. The mar
ket closed firm, with prices at the high
est point of the day. December opened
u to Ac lower at 431a@435sc to 439s@43&c.
sold up to 1880 and closed at the top.
An active demand from exporters fur
nished the chief source of strength In the
oats market. December sold between 26&
@26Bc and 27AQ27asc. r closed at the
top.
Provisions weIo nrm as result OF a
10c advance in the price Of live hogs. At
the close October pork was up 12l2c at
$14.70. Lard was up 2R@5c at S1.7097.72la.
Ribs were 10c higher at $8.5212.
