MARKET IFLuGTUATEs.
Uncertainty Follows Vigorous Rise of
 Early Morning.

New York, Sept S0-The move- ment of prices in the stock market to-day was regarded as due rather to the adjustment of speculative con- tracts among professional operators than to any new view of the condi- tions. The professionals were heavy sellers on the short side last week, and they took advantage of the out side selling attracted over the week. end to cover extensive short lines to- day. The selling induced by last weeks sharp decline was most pro- nounced to-day for London account. From the lower level of prices at the start there was 8 brisk recovery and show of vigorous strength for time, but with a reduction of the short interest and the satisfaction of the demand from that source the market sank back into a mood of un- certainty and of irregular fluctuations. The money market reflected the prep arations for the October settlements, as is usually the case on the last day of the month, but the strain was so far short of stringeney that the effect was rather to increase the disposition of the shorts to cover Call money did not get above per cent. The later dullness of the stock market was due in part to the postponement, be- yond the expected hour of the de- Nf DracI1a,af D at Canton, making 1t probable that it's publication would be delayed until after the days session of the stock market was over.
 Underlying the present financial sit- uation is the general conviction that a period of abstentioh from specula- tive activity is essential to the safe working out of the needs to be met. The. torpid demand for securities, which is one consequence of this ab- stention, opens the way for bear at- tack. Hopeful views are reported among bankers and in other ranks of capital, nevertheless. The October dividend and interest payments, &C., cording to the estimate of the Journal of Commerce, will amount to $780, 100000, which is the largest ever made for this period of the year, not withstanding reductions in dividends of some companies, notably the cop pers, and readjustment of dividend periods by some of the large railroad companies, which would also affect the comparison. Copper weakened in London again but no chance wac an nounced here.
 The selling of stocks for London account here was an element in the recovery in the foreign exchange rate. The punishment administered to the shorts in Canadian Pacific was illus trated in a 1S-point rise in that stock and the disposition of bears to cover elsewhere was emphasized
 Bonds were irregular Total sales par value $1,366,000.
 United States bonds were unehang- ed on call.

The statement of the Erie was very strong and indicated very conservative action in reducing preferred dividends to the form of long term scrip. The surplus after dividends about trebled and 1 1-2 per cent. was shown. to be earned on the common. The labor item cost the road $1,OOo,OOO more than in 1906.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-10-01

There were rather energetic efforts made to break prices on the heavy Oc- tober disbursements and the subscrip- tion payment of $11,6OO,OOO for new Northern Pacific stock. The fact that call money was freely obtainable most of the day below per cent made it difficult for the speculators for fall to carry their point. The street generally refused to see any thing alarming about per cent money.

Call money went on the Stock Ex- change no higher than s per cent; it was g per cent. on the last day of Sep tember, 1906, and in 1905. Nothing but a large amount of belated prediction came into view in the copper trade, and Wall Street was somewhat surprised, in the closing hour, by announcement of an unchanged dividend for the Unit ed Metals Selling company, the Amal gamated's agent.

A regular quarterly dividend of s7.5O a share was declared on the capital stock of the United Metals Selling company yesterday. This is the company that markets all the cop per of the Amalgamated Copper com pany, and of many other large pro- ducing companies, deriving it's reve- nue from the commissions received on sales. It is credited with handling more than OO,oOO,ooO pounds of cop per year, The capital stock of the company is s5,OOO, 900, on which quar- terly dividends of $75O have been paid since the first of the year.

The early improvement in stocks was based on the predictions that President Roosevelt's address at Canton yester- day would be favorable--it being as- sumed that on a memorial occasion he would not be likely to indulge in an attack on corporations Wall Street is more worried over what the next speeches will bring forth.

The most plausible explanation as to the decline in St. Paul was that certain Wall Street interests were liquidating a large line of various 4tocks, among which was St. Paul, Another reason assigned was the apparent absence of desire to pay further instalments on the new stock, which are called for from time to time.

Congratulation was found in the rela- lively low rates for call money. Con- sidering the current record breaking dividend and interest disbursements and syndicate payments this is very satisfactory.
