Irregular and Sagging Tone
Marked Dealings.
ERRATIc FLUCTUATIONS
United States Steel Common and Great
Northern.
TRANSACTIONS ARE REDUCED
A Few Stocks Constituted Large
Proportion Of the Business-Vto-
lent Decline in Rubber Common.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October At was not easy
to deduce from today's situation at large
any direct and convincing reasons for the
irregular and generally sagging tone which
was displayed by the stock market. There
appeared to be particular access OF
anxiety with regard to the outcome OF the
political situation, and so far as the
money market was concerned, no unfavor-
able changes were witnessed In that dl-
rection At the same time the market fol-
lowed tn same genral course which has
been pursued throughout the week
Initial transactions were effected at gen
erally higher figures than prevailed at the
close of business yesterday and were loi-
lowed by the same appearances OF irresu-
larity which have characterized the traolng
since Monday. One influence in the uncer-
tain drift Of the market. or at least the one
named in the absence of any more striking
circumstance, was the course followed by
the securities connected with the iron ore
land negotiations In the northwest.
The fluctuations in United States Steel
common were unusually erratlc. ana Great
Northern preferred declined several points
on unusually large transactions for that o.
curity. The movements in these stocks had
the Inevitable effect of setting afioat rumors
that a hitch had occurred in the negotia-
lions between the parties In interest, ana
these reports were repeated with an I'M
usual amount of detail and circumstances.
No Credence in Stories.
In fact every new street tipster was able
to specify the exact points Of difference be-
tween Mr.. Hill on the one side, and the
management Of the steel corporation on the
other There is no reason to place any Gre
dence of course in such stories as were In
circulation today but 1t is undoubtedly
true that the Wall street community at
large will welcome the final and official an
nouncement of the conclusion Of the ore
lands negotiations.
The dealings were in largely reduced vol
ume as compared with recent averages.
and a few stocks furnished a large proper
ton of the total transactions. These were
notably Reading. Union and Southern Pa
oiflc and United States Steel common. Price
movements in the various quarters OF the
market were fairly uniform. even In their
trregularity Aside from the stocks con-
cerned In the ore land negotiations. there
was little gossip In connection with the
movements In one security or another.
A further violent decline in United States
Rubber common was. of course. associated
with doubts as to the action to be taken
on the dividend, while the comparative
nrmness of Amalgama ted Copper was based
upon yet another advance in the selling
prices for the metal and the hopeful ex-
peota tons with regard to the dividend on
chat stock. which will be acted on two
weeks hence.

Al OPERA HOUSE


The Kempton company had another
large and quite well pleased audience
last night, when it presented "a Home
spun Heart" with an admirable cast,
made up of the members of the com
pany. Mr.. Hatten did a very pretty
turn as Tom Sansen," Miss Bradford
acceptably rendering the role of Sen
ga Seyerald." Other parts assigned
were Forrest Place as Jack Marcoe,'
Mr.. Sacray as Richard Marcoe," Mr..
Conley as "zeb Moore" Mr.. Rivers as
Mrs. Marcoe'' and Gail Hamilton as
Marion Marcoe." The story is one
that appeals to the sympathetic heart,
and the scenes are calculated to draw
this feeling well out. "Andy's" prayer
and the going to bed were enough to
bring tears and laughter almost at the
same moment. The finale was salts,
factory to the audience, when virtue
triumphs, the loving hearts are united
and the villains properly punished. A
sure enough baby did its full share in
entertaining the audience.

Wheels for Vehicles.

Attention has been called by techni.
cal writer's to the fact that the wheels
of vehicles intended for driving roads
have not kept pace in development
with the other parts of carriage me-
chanism. Experiments with heavy We.
hicles indicate that wheels should be
made both higher and broader. In
England it has been recommended that
with a maximum axle load of eight
tons the width of tire should be about
ten and a half inches. Increase of the
diameter Of the wheel is said 70 be
effective in preventing damage to
roadbeds than width Of tire.
