which rate 1t must continue to take out

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 6-There was a
greatly reduced attendance upon the stock
market today on account of the absentees
at the motor car races. but. nevertheless, a
fairly large volume of business was rolled
up during the morning session. AS might
be expected, in view of the announcement
made yesterday afternoon of the final con-
clusion of the ore lands negotiations be-
tween the United States Steel Corporation
and the Great Northern railway, the deal
fngs in the stock in question were in very
great volume. Tremendous profit realizing
sales were conducted in those issues, and
notably in United States Steel common. but
all offerings of this description were alb
sorbed with remarkable facility. In the
early part of the day the general market
showed an irregular appearance, but de-
veloped a firmer tone as the morning
progressed. -
In the industrial and miscella neous group
conspicuous features were General Electric.
Amalgamated Copper and Colorado Fuel
and Iron. The last named broke sharply
from its initial quotations. and later fiuc-
tuated irregularly, its uncertain course
being attributed to speculative disappofnt-
ment that no reference was made to the
status of the property in the ore lands an
nouneement. The most active stock of the
railway list We're Erie. Rock Island, ST.
Paul and Union and Southern Pacific.
Aside from the ore lands announcement
there was little of Importance in the morn
ing's news. The London stock market was
fairly steady. in spite of very heavy gold
exports to Egypt, but little or nothing was
done here for foreign account. Speculative
sentiment was stimulated to some extent
by the expectations of a favorable weekly
bank showing. and by the gratifying re-
ports upon the state of the country's trade
of the mercantile agencies
The weekly bank statement was a dis
appointing and -wel-nigh inexpica BILE
showing. In the place of the large indi-
Gated gain in cash. that item showed
loss of $5.IGI 900 The loan account in
creased 81 $4,000. and the deposit account
was reduced 2.720.OOo. Surplus reserves
accordingly fell $5,117 900. and the banks
now hold S0,423.GC0 in excess Of the lawful
requirements. Surplus reserves in the cor
responding week of last year were $3.50
OO0 in 1904 ST., eS36, 900 and in 1903 S16.517 600
The stock market took on an irregular
appearance after the publication of the
bank statement. Reading and Union Pa
cifc reacted smartly. as did United States
Steel common. Tennessee Coal and Iron.
on the other hand. rose very sharply, and
Erie continued notably firm.
