NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Today's stock
market was but a dull affair. There
was a considerable number of shares
sold during the first hour but after
that the trading became almost stag
nant and the sluggish movement of
prices was almost imperceptible during
the midday period.
The selling was most notable in
Union Pacific and Reading. Its source
and it's motive were not clearly out
lined. Assertions that government
measures were in contemplation to
contest some of the Union Pacffic's
holdings of lands taken over from the
public domain were given as one ground
for the weakness.
Active selling was attributed to the
So-called western parties in the Specu-
lation who have been credited with the
most of the large operations in the
market for some time, whether on the
long or short side. The profound dull
ness which overlook the trading when
these operations ceased Indicated
strongly that they went far to make
up the whole market
The public attitude towards the mar
Iet is one of entire neglect. The ac-
tion of the market suggests also that
the large financial interests which have
credited with the intention to keep the
market alive have deSiSted from the
attempt Various views are held as to
the motive for this attitude. Political
uncertainty is a favorite explanation
with the professional stock operator.
l.
tranquility of the money market and
protecting it from the extra strain of
an active stock market is very gen
orally admitted to have force Condt-
tions in the money market were little
changed, but the upward course in
sterling exchange which was a marked
feature of the last weeks events, was
sharply reversed and there was con
at Paris and Berlin.
The point of relaxation was not in
London, for discounts rose again there
The Bank of England secured all the
gold arriving in the market at a reduc-
tion from the previous price but the
amount thus acquired. which reached
only $1,S4O,000, was offset by the with
drawal of the $750,00O from the bank
for shipment to Egypt This is a slow
rate of recuperation for the depleted
reserve item shown by last weeks
statement of the banks.
1t was reported that Berlin ban kers
were discussing manner of discrimina-
tion against American finance bills,
such as were employed by the Bank Of
England before the advance in its Of
fetal rate.
Agricultural reports from this coun-
try showed a falling off for September
from the same month last year, the
large decrease in cotton exports serv-
ing more than to overcome the increase
in the other products. The continued
rise in the price of cotton is against
any expansion in its export
A number of dividends were payable
today and shipments were made of be-
tween $2,000,000 and $4,000, 900 to To-
ronto said to be for the protection of
the position of recently merged bank.
Money rates here were not perceptl-
bly, frmer but last weeks receding
tendency was no longer in evidence.
Most of the early declines were re-
corded in the slow hardening move
ment but the closing was slightly ir-
regular
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales,
par value, $1296, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged
